Awesome, nice to see Sony jumping on this too. Personally, I don't think I'd go for a PlayStation Classic but I'd be all in on a PlayStation 2 Classic. I'd imagine they're bound to make one because this should be a huge hit

Hahaha I was just being a dick there.
But seriously I don't hear anyone talking about any Playstation games the way people do Smash, Kart and Goldeneye.
The PlayStation was the console for an entire generation
It was the first console that really blew up in Europe
It took gaming from a kids toy to something for adults as well
It was the best selling console of all time before the ps2
Claiming it's not a classic is like when people said no one cared about Crash Bandicoot which sales have proven to be complete bollocks.

Literally the only positive thing that comes out of this not having a DualShock is the fact that if it has Resident Evil, it will be the version with a non-shit soundtrack -- finally re-released after years.
Depending on the games, I probably will buy it.
But it's funny to see that Sony never changes, even after 20 or so years...

No Castlevania SOTN? Smh
I ain't buying it
Edit: I see the full games list hasn't been revealed.

Did the NES and SNES classic open pre-orders before we knew the full game lineup? It feels kinda crappy knowing I might miss out on this just because I don't want to spend £90 on 15 unknown games atm. Shouldn't have opened pre-orders before we had the full lineup.
Yeah, that's kind of silly point to make. At this point, just as many kids and teens have grown up with PlayStation as Nintendo. The numbers are too damn high for that to not be the case
Not interested personally as I don't really have any nostalgia for PS1, but looks pretty good - Some nice big hitters like FF7, RR4 and Tekken 3, nice of them to include the later iterations rather than going with Tekken 1 for example.
I'm detecting level-headedness and positivity in your post. Ain't nobody got time for that, get out of this thread man.
Yes, which makes this very strange.
I'll definitely be cancelling if the line-up sucks or if it includes a lot of games that play noticeably better with analog.
It worry's me they not showing a full list maybe they don't want SNES blow back when everyone wanted Chrono Trigger
PS they best be have Metal Gear Solid

This could be an awesome Christmas gift.
Shame that it won't have a DualShock controller. It seems like Ape Escape is a no go, which makes me sad because I loved that game. Looking forward for news what games they will have. Crash Team Racing, Bloody Roar, Silent Hill, Medal of Honor, Tony Hawk, Tomb Raider, or original Spider-Man games would be a must haves for me! Will wait for a full line-up before I make my mind.
Btw. Limiting a console to only pre-loaded games seems like a waste. They should do an integrated store with new games as well. People would lose their shit if PSX Classic had an ongoing support with new re-releases.

Uhuh .... because no one talks fondly about
Metal gear solid , silent hill , crash bandicoot, tomb raider , tekken , spyro ....
Agendas make me laugh so much
No worries, I only ask cause I was thinking that maybe that had something to do with it. I was born in 1990 and have a ridiculous amount of nostalgia for the PS1 and the N64. I played the SNES/Genisis before that but the 5th generation was when I really became a gamer.
Yeah but the PS3 is disc backwards compatible (and of course has the digital versions). Plus they're on the same store from generation to generation so if you buy digital PSX games you can still play them on your PS3.
I mean, compare that to Nintendo's general strategy haha. It's not bad.
Not in the same way, man. You have to admit that lol. You hear chicks at bars and frat dudes telling they'll beat eachother at Mario Kart 64 and shit. You see Kijiji commercials where people get an N64 and are playing 4 players.
No one is saying "yeah let's go back to my dorm and play some Tekken"
I just saw you in the Dreams thread being a dick aswell. Seems like you enjoy it?
Outside of Mario Kart 64's battle mode, none of my friends played the other games. Crazy how personal experiences aren't at all universal!
Sometimes I get the feeling that a lot of Nintendo fans are also classic game fans that routinely like and play old games and genres (e.g. platformers and shmups), but only a small number of PlayStation fans are the same.
Even here, there are a pretty good number of people saying how ugly PS1 games are and how they'll never want to revisit them, while an N64 Classic is often clamored for. This isn't a complaint, BTW (I mean, you like what you like), but it just makes me wonder how well a PS1 Classic is ultimately going to do.
As for me... Parappa and Um Jammer Lammy = absolute instant buy. Throw in Einhander and Omega Boost, and I'll be the happiest ever. I don't think any of those use analog (except UJL which supports it for something very small and useless).

Just like NO ONE REALLY ever liked or remembers Crash Bandicoot! /remake outsells every platformer on the market not named Mario
Yuuup
It's not like people remember Final Fantasy 7 or anything
People who act like there's zero nostalgia or timeless qualities to the PS1's library are so exasperating, geez. It's fine to prefer Nintendo's output but not everyone grew up in the Nintendo bubble. And to act like games like Final Fantasy VII weren't important is ridiculous. FFVI was a blip on the radar in comparison.
User Banned (1 Day): System wars and concern trolling; previous warnings
Lol okay, I'm '91.
I definitely have some, but more for the N64 (even if I can admit it probably overall had a lesser output than the PS1). Like I've said to others here, people can argue quality of games all day, but it's undeniable that a wider range of people (at least where I'm from) are more nostalgic for the N64.
I probably still wouldn't call the N64 "classic" though, at least not yet, or maybe ever. But like I said to someone else, Nintendo will use that branding too because it IS their branding for these products. I think it's weird that Playstation used the same word as Nintendo and used that word at all, but I'm realizing after being refuted here that I'm probably just wrong.
S'all good.
Frankly who gives a fuck what these people think. Also it's time for you to stop posting. Seems like each one is getting worse than the other. Take the L and move on.
You clearly hang around in some sheltered Nintendo only zones
The PlayStation 1 outsold the SNES and nes combined worldwide , and decimated the n64 its most people born after 1990,s first home console by a easy 70 million units
Considerably more people played and owned a PlayStation.
The ps2 went on the be a even bigger success
It's not hard reading your post history to see a agenda being pushed, not only is it ridiculous but frankly you are talking from a perspective of complete ignorance to one of if the the biggest gaming system to have existed
Yeah... :/
If I'm not mistaken, only the NA version of SNES Classic included a power adapter, whereas EU and JP versions didn't. Neogeo mini (both Japan and International versions) also didn't include a power adapter.
It'll be 25 years old next year.
It's definitely in classic territory by now. I think you may just don't want to feel old like the rest of us!
They've only announced 5 of 20. And the ones so far are all great games.
I think this is pretty obnoxious given the history of PS1 support on new Playstation machines.
Because Sony doesn't want to do it.
My comment was not in regards to their ability. They have shown that they clearly had zero desire for proper PS1 BC. Which is why I said if this didn't exist, you still wouldn't be getting proper BC.
I can't think of any list of games they could put on this thing that would make me want to spend $100. I can play the Mega Man X games on the MMX collection, I can play FF7 and 9 via modern console ports, a Castlevania SotN re-release just got leaked, the Crash trilogy exists on modern consoles and soon Spyro will too. Sure, there are other good games they can add to this that haven't been re-released recently, but I don't think I can justify $100 for me personally when I know I'd only spend like half an hour with each.
But can you buy the controllers separately? I'd love a pair for my Pi. Unfortunately, I'm guessing you can't since the console already comes with two, meaning people who buy the console would have no need to buy more. Damn.
