Thoughts and reactions?
-
Why Twisted Metal and not Twisted Metal 2? The improvements were so much better in the sequel.
I want to ask the same for Resident Evil: DC, but then I remembered the remake for RE2 is coming, so that's probably why.
Odd that we're not getting a single Tomb Raider or Crash Bandicoot game, since they were pretty much PlayStation's mascots with that console.
And it's cool to see Wild Arms on there, did not expect that.
-
The US list is garbage compared to the Japanese list. The PS1 has so many excellent games and they really went for low hanging fruit with most of the titles they picked. The only game I was genuinely surprised to see was the first Persona game. Outside of that there are a few decent standouts, but nothing that would motivate me to even spend half of the current $100 MSRP for this thing.
I've heard arguments about licensing costs with third party games being too expensive, which I honestly don't buy. They licensed them some great games in Japan, and even if it was a issue for the North American release, they easily have 30+ first party IPs they could have used for next to no additional cost to Sony, all that would have been an improvement on half the games they ended up going with in the end.
This thing mostly sucks, that's my opinion though.
-
Half these games don't make sense why they are on there. Like why is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six on there.
-
Only three RPGs is a major bummer for me. There are so many good ones that would have been amazing additions
I'm also not a fan of the non-dualshock PS1 controller
-
Im a playstation guy ... and Im not interested in this now. The games on this list I would have enjoyed playing I own and thats only 3-4 titles at most. The rest I am curious as to why TF they are on there.
-
It's a pretty mediocre list worse than I expected it to be but than again as far as the sports titles go they where mainstream back in the day not to mention that an old shooter such as tom clancy/ syphon filter ain't to strange to be honest.
I'm also not to shocked that symphony of the night ain't on there since i highly doubt it was a popular game back than even if it had a classics series in the US. Even if there wasn't a rerelease of symphony of the night as a stand alone game it would most likely be the same.
Still though I'm kinda suprised at the niche titles why they were included such as persona, inteligent cube puzzle fighter wild arms, mr driller and jumping flash, makes very little sense to me. Maybe the IP's where cheap to add into the console to fill it up.
I would have expected at the very least croc, crash bandicoot, medievil spyro and klonoa the sony mascots and as far as less popular rpg's go instead of wild arms chrono cross or final fantasy tactics.
-
Some choices are good, some definitely aren't. I'm only really into like a half dozen of the games and some decisions are confusing like Rainbow Six and Twisted Metal 1 over Twisted Metal 2, which is the only Twisted Metal really worth playing.
-
As a novelty item, this is going to be awesome. If anyone expected Sony to actually deliver a list of games that are actually classics and defined the console, you expected way too much. This is Sony being Sony. I'm stoked for some of these absolutely bonkers choices.
-
10 really great games
9 others that are good games I could possibly understand why they are here but Tom Clancy?
-
The list of games comes off as kind of meh to me. This coming from someone who's console was the N64 this era. Also it just kinda feels cheap to me since outside of of a like 4-5 games none of them really sell for more than $10.
Some games I would of tried to include in a PS1 Classic
-Castlevania Chronicles (chose this one only due to the recent rerelease of symphony on the PS4 and I don't have it)
-Blood Omen: legacy of Kain
-Parasite Eve
-Klanoa
-Tomb Raider
-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (though I realize there's probably too much Copyright tape holding this one back from being released I can see why it's not on there)
-Final Fantasy Tactics
-JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (for the reference)
-Xenogears
-
The list looks incredibly underwhelming. I'd rather the JPN version as that at least has Parasite Eve on it.
On the plus side just like the NES and SNES classic, it looks as if the system will be powered via USB-C, so hopes for a proper hack to add more games seems likely.

(PARTUAL QUOTES BY BOTH BURNINGDOOM AND SWORDDUDE)

I agree with the both of you and others as well. Not a single mainstream SONY mascot appeared on that list. and, that can blow It I think for SONY. I mean why not? As far as Twisted Metal 1 goes. I currently think that it's way less popular than Twisted Metal 2. But it seems that, SONY may have been trying to get more of the less common games on the New PlayStation 1 classic. even though.
As far as Rainbow Six is concerned as a pack in first person shooter I think they should have went with Medal Of Honor instead
-
Probably a pass.
-
Pretty disappointing all around, but with so many great games on PS1, everyone will be let down in some way no matter what with only 20 titles.
Mind boggling they added Revelations: Persona, if anything I would expect P2 over it. Possibly the boom of popularity from P5? Even so, that reveal shocked me for sure.
Seems to be a fair list of mixed genres, I still feel they could have done better at picking some of the titles. No Crash, Spyro, or even GT.
-
I won't be surprised if you can connect it to PSN to download more games at a similar price that is currently available on the PSN store.
Maybe comes with a bigger hard drive or allows an external HDD to download more content, this being the digital gaming era and all.
-
Miffed that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night didn't make it.

Probably because Castlevania Requim just came out on PS4

Has Rondo and Symphony together.

Yeah I saw, I'd love to get it but I don't have a PS4 haha. I'm sure it will be hackable just like the SNES classic so I'm not too worried.

It's not going to have any network capabilities so you won't be able to add games via PSN.
Is it hackable? Well that remains to be seen.
-
Sad to say but theres only 3 or so games i want to actually play. The rest i either own or have no interest right now. At least the nes and snes classics have actual "classics"
-
So let's look at the lineup...
Battle Arena Toshinden - I'm thinking maybe adding BAT2 or BAT2 Plus might've been a better choice?
Cool Boarders 2 - Okay sure.
Destruction Derby - Destruction Derby 2 might have been a better choice
Final Fantasy VII - This is a no-brainer
Grand Theft Auto - Meh.
Intelligent Qube - Good choice
Jumping Flash - Another good choice, one of my favorite games ;)
Metal Gear Solid - See FFVII above
Mr Driller - Not a bad choice but I think maybe Pac-Man World for more familiarity
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - Good choice, one I'll be able to enjoy because I thought I owned this but apparently not. Must be one my little bro swiped. :-\
Rayman - Good choice
Resident Evil Director's Cut - I get why this one makes it since they're doing a remake of RE2 which had they not should have been the obvious choice
Revelations: Persona - Surprised to see this one but good choice. The only downer is the load times
Ridge Racer Type 4 - I would have figured Ridge Racer Revolution was the shoe-in for this series.
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo - Good choice
Syphon Filter - See FFVII and Metal Gear Solid
Tekken 3 - I would have thought Tekken 2 over this as it was stupidly popular
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - Um. Okay. Ubisoft had nothing else noteworthy to bring to the table? I guess but at the time the series was more renown as a PC title.
Twisted Metal - Lots of people have already said that TM2 should be here instead of this one.
Wild Arms - Good choice for a 3rd RPG option.
Notable titles missing: Ape Escape, Blasto, Bloody Roar, Bust A Groove, Devil Dice, Einhander, Hot Shots Golf, Legend of Dragoon, Medal of Honor, Mega Man Legends, Motor Toon Grand Prix, Omega Boost, Parappa The Rapper, Philosoma, Suikoden, Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, Tomb Raider I/II.
I can see why some titles didn't make it such as Gran Turismo due to licensing issues. Medieval is going the Crash/Spyro route with a remake. SoTN is getting a remake as well. I'm sure there's others I'm not thinking of. :P

Since it was announced I seen so many people saying they were underwhelmed with the list. I wasn't sure if it was exaggeration. But this is my first time ever seeing the list :)
I mean Gran Turismo 2, Parappa the Rapper. Those are sony games. Their license. No need to pay for licensing. Why are those left out? 2 of the most iconic games for the console. Where is ape escape. Castlevania, Klonoa, Megaman Legends, Chrono Cross. Many of those they already have the dev on board. So many of these games aren't essential imo. Where are any of the tomb raider games? They borderline defined the console.
This is some cruel joke. :(
But I guess this is what happens when you try to copy Nintendo again. I just wish they'd stay in their lane and quit with the cash grabs and copy and paste Nintendo formula like they've always done. They have plenty going for them. It should have been done right.

Great choices for the most part its what I've had in mind (I predicted 9/20 games), although i'm surprised to see Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo awesome choice. :)
Glad to see; Oddworld, Rayman, Persona, Ridge Racer Type 4, Syphon Filter.
could have done without Grand Theft Auto.
Too bad Crash Bandicoot is missing.

I think they might have left out Crash and Spyro because of the two remastered Trilogys for those franchises. Maybe they didn't have naughtydog's approval as almost noone does now adays with them working on 1 game for 200 years and all ;D. I loved GTA being included. It shocked my too. Never thought they'd pull that Rockstar signature.
No tomb raider is beyond baffeling. She completely defined the console imo. Who didn't know or play Tomb Raider. I think the console should have been scrapped if it couldn't have Tomb Raider. That's lunacy.
