vaxick Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Looks like the rumors floating around were true. On December 3rd, Sony will be releasing a PlayStation Classic mini console with 20 games and two controllers for $100. Sadly, it looks like they will be original controllers and not Dual Shock ones. https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/09/18/introducing-playstation-classic-with-20-pre-loaded-games/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 This? This I'll buy. Will it play original PSOne discs as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Lol, gotta cash in on the Nintendo success. Hopefully it's good and the supplies are plentiful. I might cave and buy one, just for collectability, since I'm never actually gonna play the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I grew up in a house that had a NES and a SNES, but the Playstation was the first console that was "mine". I loved it, have a lot of fond memories of it, but today, I can't think of many games on it that I would care to revisit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Holy hell that initial lineup gives me hope the remaining titles are just as good. At least we know sony’s Ps1 emulators are pretty damn good so this should play well. I hope Japan gets a modified game list so I have a reason to pick up both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 FF7 will be on it, obviously, but it'd be so funny if, like Square's announcement, the FF games are, like, 7, 9 and Tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 With a few exceptions, I think the PSX / N64 era has aged terribly. $100 might be above my sweet spot for a dose of nostalgia. Also I had completely forgotten the original PSX controllers didn’t have analog sticks. Huh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the first dual shocks had a button you had to press to switch to analog mode and then there was another mode, the light was green and red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I’ve still got an original PSOne with the built in/attached LCD screen. So I’ll pass on this. I didn’t even want the Nintendo mini consoles either tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I still don't understand the desire to buy small "retro" consoles. I can't imagine playing RR4 without the Jogcon -- for me, it was integral to the experience. But, if Jumping Flash made it onto this machine -- I'm wondering how many great games aren't going to make it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I feel like I should be more excited for this. I see the tiny console and I'm like hell yeah i want that, it looks awesome! Then you watch the blog video and see the games its playing and suddenly I'm like meh never mind I'm good haha. I love me some PS1 games but Its kind of hitting that spot where the games might be too dated for my taste. The Nintendo stuff works better for me because its mostly 2D art. Mix all that with a $100 price......I have to pass. This HAS to have Metal Gear Solid on it right. Like literally has to. Part of me is hoping for whatever reason they can't get it just so I can see the internet react Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

number305 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Such a money grab. Rather than put in some backward compatibility get people to shell out $100 for a raspberry pi. Also I agree that this era of games looks terrible now. When people try to recreate 'retro' games they always shoot for 8 bit or 16 bit era. No one wants to recreate giant blury polygons.

Part of me is hoping for whatever reason they can't get it just so I can see the internet react For the games not yet announced (we already know Wild Arms, Tekken 3, FF7, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4) , ones I'm thinking about as possibilities are: Gran Turismo 1 - 2 Tomb Raider 1 - 3 MGS1 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Chrono Cross FF8-9 FF Tactics Intelligent Qube Parappa the Rapper Suikoden 1 - 2 Wild Arms 2 Medievil 1 - 2 Vagrant Story Parasite Eve 1 - 2 Legend of Dragoon Xenogears Jet Moto 1 - 3 Syphon Filter 1 - 3 Twisted Metal 1 - 2 Resident Evil 1 - 3 Crash 1 - 3 Spyro 1 - 3 Wipeout 2097 Tekken 1 - 2 Ape Escape Einhander Colony Wars GTA 1 - 2 Bold = Sony published it, so there may be greater consideration for it. Considering there's 20, there are gonna be maaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny that aren't on it. I only own a few PS1 games and only bought a couple PS1 classics, so most of this stuff would be great. Just dunno what the library is gonna end up being. For something like the SNES classic, many are Nintendo and many are so flippin' obvious (Super Metroid, Super Mario World, LTTP, etc), but with the PS1, the third parties reigned supreme, so it's harder to figure out what the final library will be.

mo1518 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I love the PS1, got some solid nostalgia for it, but this Gen of games did not age well. Doubt it will have gran turismo - the music licensing will probably kill that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Also I get some of the 3D games that were precursors to modern action games not holding up well for people. But a lot of these will be games like FF7 / SOTN where that’s not really an issue, or games that, at least for me, were so iconic they hold up anyway, like RE games or MGS. It’s like a certainty that whenever this era of games are brought up you’re gonna have like 10 people chirp about how the games don’t hold up, and I guess maybe that’s true for the majority, but I actually play this era’s games fairly often and still love them. That said i doubt ill need to get this because I can so easily play all of these now lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
