What old PlayStation games still aren’t available on PS4?

[WhtR88t]

I was just searching for the Devil May Cry 5 demo and saw that pretty much all the past DMC games are available on PS4 (which I didn't even know was a thing).

With backwards compatibility rumored for the PS5, what games that are worth while from PS1/2/3/PSP/Vita still haven't been ported to the PS4's architecture?

Easily hundreds of games.

Here's some stuff that I'd like to play right now:
Deadly Premonition, Demon Soul's, Haunting Ground, Silent Hill franchise, Metal Gear franchise, Ico, Nier Gestalt, God Hand, Kuon, Echo Night, Ico, Fatal Frame, and countless more.

It will not be a complete console without access to Beyblade on PS1

(I ported the Japanese version of this game to PAL territories.)

Came to say this, however the HD collection IS on PSNOW (with MGS4 likely to follow).

Both the HD Collection and MGS4 were on PSNOW a long, LONG time ago (5 years?) for like a month but were pulled shortly after because no pressure sensitivity made the games almost unplayable. (can't aim without firing, can't grab guards without stabbing them in MGS3, etc.)

Only recently the HD collection came back to PSNOW with literally no changes. One of the news articles implied future MG games would follow so MGS4 is likely.

I'm glad someone remembered Genji. The PS3 entry was medicore but i loved the PS2 original a ton. Would love it if it was added on the PS2PS4 line up.

There's hundreds, if not thousands of quality PS1/PS2/PS3/PSP/Vita games not available on PS4.

They got most of the big PS3 games available via remaster or PSnow, but even then its only a tiny fraction of what would be ideal. For me personally, Ni No Kuni and Nier are the big ones not available from the PS3 generation, Crisis Core from trom the PSP, and Persona 4 Golden from Vita. Shadow Hearts from PS2.

One and done.

The fact that the current Xbox is a better machine for playing Metal Gear games should scare y'all.

360 and xbone have digital buttons in the controller, MGS is designed with pressure sensitive controls like on the PS1,2 and 3 controllers in mind

I think they meant better than the PS4.

Sadly all of my favorite games from the past are not on PS4.

My favorite game of all time Final Fantasy VIII for example.

 

[Iwao]

Max Payne 2 among others.... done many moons ago but still haven't released.

I'm aware. But point is, you can actually play the games.

I'm immensely sorry for my reckless Beyblade usage. Thank you for your service, my good man.

Resident Evil 3, in any form.

Every other mainline game has a port or remake available on PS4.

Heart of Darkness is so underrated it brings me back to 1998.

Good question OP, it's fair to say every game given how gamers taste very gamer to gamer.

I'd probably have to go with GTA III, end of story. 2019 could bring lots of value to a modern day Liberty City.
