It's what I was talking about and you knew it because it's in line with being something of absolutely no consequence, unlike an actual story spoiler. So maybe be considerate to the nature of a discussion forum and not having to couch everything in [REDACTED] for the sake of people who don't want to actually see anything, regardless of how minor.
It isn't a spoiler to me, but how is it baseless exactly? It's a surprise, the surprise was not revealed until people played the game, and as far as certain games go where the plot isn't the main reason people are playing...yes it can be ruined, which is the point of the term at its core.
It has multiple uses when applying to video games, just look at the recent Pokemon threads or whenever a Souls game comes out when location/boss/weapon names are masked.
I'm just being empathetic to others who clearly didn't want to know due to a thread title. It personally didn't ruin anything for me but I can understand how it could for others. It's a retro game and unlocking something as a surprise was one of the main incentives back then.
Those with unreasonably high thresholds for information they don't want to know should perhaps take some responsibility for their own browsing habits.
Can't really do much about that when the spoiler itself is in the thread title, now can they?
Ah yeah, that dead handheld buried under a bunch of stuff in my desk drawer which won't let me carry around my UK, US and Japanese PS1 Classics on the same memory card. :(
If you feel that asking "minor spoiler warning" in a thread title for unlockable content is unreasonable, then there's really not much I can discuss with you there
By taking responsibility I mean not browsing on a gaming forum for a few days which is by definition not a necessity unless they have a hopeless addiction to it.
If that sounds unreasonable imagine how the rest of us feel about this being labeled a spoiler.
It is unreasonable because it isn't a spoiler, not even a minor one.
How are you supposed to even spoiler tag the topic without revealing the exact same thing? All it says is that it's unlockable.
If the thread didn't list Medievil, then someone coming in will know it's Medievil and be "spoiled" anyway, if the topic said (Medievil spoilers) then you know there's something PS1 emulated within Medievil (and oh gosh what could that be). It's a lost cause.
who's experience is ruined? the person who'll be surprised for all of two seconds or the op who's thread has derailed again because of complaints over inconsequential "spoilers"
I edited my post to cite more popular games where "gameplay spoilers" are treated like a big deal around here. It's not really fair to treat MediEvil differently just because it's not on the same level.
That's up for debate; regardless I think discussing unlockable content for a freshly new game should be carried with a little tact and respect for other people playing the game. I don't think a spoiler warning in the thread title is asking for much.
Also, I think it's silly that you're painting the anti-spoiler culture folks as the victims here.
I imagine there's a fair amount of work required to get different titles running properly and with the PS5 right around the corner, Sony doesn't feel incentivized to put in the work for PS1 emulation on PS4.
Oh, knock it the fuck off.
Official Staff Communication
Please get back on topic: there is no way of having this discussion (the existence of an official SIE PS1 emulator for PS4) without mentioning what this unlockable is in the topic title.
My understanding is that the PS4 doesn't natively handle PS1 discs because it doesn't read CDs. Could they still sell and run the PSN PS1 classics you bought? Sure. But that would mean you wouldn't buy new games, or something.
It only has a DVD and Blu-Ray lasers. It doesn't play music CDs for the same reason. (And PS2 discs were a mix of DVD and CD)

If that was the case people would never visit here. Don't browse a website you regularly visit incase someone is stupid enough to post a spoiler in a thread? What a ridiculous comment to make.
It is a spoiler. Is it advertised on the box or in any Medievil ads? If it's something you're not going to discover until you finish a game, that's a spoiler.
I was planning on not finding out which games were released in 2019 until the Giant Bomb GOTY podcast at the end of the year, so thanks for the spoiler, I guess.
Yeah, it was never that Sony couldn't do it (like how it probably was with potential PS3 BC), it was a deliberate choice.
relax, people are too much sensible its not a story spoiler more like a feature spoiler, if anything story trailers have more important spoilers than that. And older games did that before and there's no drama about it, dq11 japanese, animal crossing, mgs3, castlevania psp etc.
Because some misguided fool at SIE think people don't want to play old games without trophies. That's why they have patents to add trophies to old games, but no publisher want to bother doing that
Randomly turned on my PS3 yesterday and started checking out some PS Classics I have on the system. While playing Legend of Dragoon I thought to myself that it would be glorious playing this on my PS4. I know I can play them now but I am forced to use my PS3 remote (DS4 doesn't work on Classics for some reason) and it's be nice to have everything on my main console.
Hoping they make them available on PS5. Heck, I'd even repurchase some of them if I have to. Just give me the option Sony.

Do we know if it's the PAL (/50hz) or the NTSC copy that is emulated?
Didnt know that did this. I think it's cool as hell. I thought about old games doing that just lately and it's sad not more games do this anymore these days.

Basically. They can't put the old PS1 games up for purchase in the PS4 store without working out new deals with everyone involved. It's possible they could put the games up for download-only for previous digital owners without offering them for sale, but then what is the impetus for them to go to that trouble if there is no additional money to be made from new sales? Sony is not in dire need of goodwill from gamers (they have that already) so why bother?
If they do anything about the BC situation it won't be until PS5, where they might decide to make a big deal about BC. The question is, if that happens, will they allow us to play the digital PS1 games we bought already or will they repackage them somehow to re-sell to us?
Sell the emulator. If I were console only and could either buy official emulators to play all of my games on one box or have a shit ton of consoles hooked up to my TV, I'd spend the money if said emulators were reasonably priced pieces of software.
Hell, if Microsoft sold Xbox and 360 emulators on the Windows 10 store, I'd cough up the money right now instead of waiting for free open source ones to catch up.
Would be cool to have PS1 games sold on PS4/5, but I gave up on Sony (and Nintendo) ever getting around to a half decent offering, and now with subs and streaming they don't really have an incentive to sell you old games anymore outside of those means, so I've made my peace with emulating my old games
I mean, it sounds like a really nice surprise?
When I played Wolfenstein TNO I was pleasantly surprised to find the classic game in there. It was super cool to discover.
