lmao everybody and their mother releasing classic consoles now

[baseline bum]

This thing will be worthless if they can't get licenses to all the Konami games like Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, and Suikoden I & II. Also Final Fantasy VII but no Final Fantasy IX? Be nice if they put Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on it too.

So this is a Playstation TV minus the Vita and PSP support but sold for the same price?

The one Sony should have done is a PS2 Classic with a microSD card slot and then put the entire PS2 library up for sale on PSN.

Suikoden and FF9 are the GOAT PS1 JRPGs but makes zero sense for them to be on the 20 list.

RetroPie is awesome for PS1 once you get it configured, but I remember having to jump through a lot of hoops to enable the digital pad for some games and the DualShock for others. Some games absolutely would not work with my 360 controller configured as a DualShock (I think the Bust A Move games as well as Mega Man X series for example) while others won't work at all with the digital gamepad (eg Ape Escape). A huge pain in the ass to setup, but the Pi 3B is an outstanding box for running PSX games once you do. Especially with the filters you can add that seriously clean up the image. Though nothing touches running ePSXe from a PC. Man that has ridiculous filters and with the release of the Ryzen 2200G and 2400G you can build some pretty small PCs capable of running PSP, Dreamcast, N64, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, and even PS3 emulation now.

Also no way this system will have any Spyro games with that remaster collection launching in November.

I use some knockoff PS3 remotes I got off Amazon for like ten bucks each. I couldn't find any cheap 360 ones. The wireless setup on these knock offs is sketch at best so bought super long charge cables.

[Chris]

MGS looks great on my PS3. No reason to go back to inferior technology post cartridge era when it can easily be ported to updated consoles.

[FrostKing]

I still have a working PS1 (along with NES and Sega)

Hindsight PS1 was kinda meh graphics wise. PS2 was a huge leap, maybe the boxy 1st generation design adds to the nostalgia. Personally I've tried to bust out PS1 for fun and eye sore. NES and Sega still hold up

[Reck]

Dont they already have a store wherein you can buy classic games? :lol Sony acting desperate like they need the money.

[baseline bum]

i'd be all over that

Though if they did a PS2 Classic it would probably have to be the original chips shrunk on a 14nm node. I imagine that would be significantly cheaper to produce than cpus strong enough to emulate PS2 well. You'd probably need a cpu around as strong as say an early 2010's Core i3 or a current gen Pentium to emulate PS2. But I think that's what they did with the PS3 systems they use to run Playstation Now; eg CELL and RSX on 28 nm (Super Slims and Slims were on 45 nm lithography).

Nintendo did too back when they released the NES Classic. These things are going to print money for Sony if they have the right games on them.

Some day I will get to play IX. Only one's I haven't played are VIII and IX going back to the original on NES. I missed out on the Japanese games obviously as well.

Need to go back and beat VII. I gave up on the golden chocobo thingy once I found out I need knights of the round table to beat Sephiroth. Then I let someone "borrow" the game and never saw it again : (

One doesn't need Knights of the Round to be Sephiroth. Not at all. Knights of the Round is only good for the Weapon superbosses. One could beat the game easily without that summon.

Side note, IX is even easier than VII. It might seem harder at first, but Zidane, Freya, and Quina have skills that consistently do max damage if leveled properly.

Game list looks like complete dogshit tbh.

No Parappa, no Silent Hill, no Tomb Raider, no Gran Turismo, no Soul Blade, no Xenogears. I mean did these motherfuckers who came out with this lineup this even play the system?

For that $100 I could buy a PS3 Slim, jailbreak it, and load every PS1 rom I could want to use with a Dualshock controller.

They should've done a PS2 classic emu. Then at least you would have distinguishable characters and decent graphics.

An emulated PS2 would be expensive as hell. You're probably talking at least a Core i3 from 2011 or later to do it, while PS1 can easily be emulated on a $35 Raspberry Pi 3. Hell I can render at higher resolution and turn on lots of filters to clean up the image too with my Pi.

What would be killer is if Sony released a tiny hardware PS2 on modern lithography with say a 120GB hard drive and put the entire library up on PSN to buy. I'd buy a ton of PS2 games for it if they did that.

They paid Konami for MGS. They should have at least gotten SoTN from them also, especially for $100. God the NES Classic for $60 and the SNES Classic for $80 had tons of the greatest games on each system but this has what, three or four of the top 20 PS1 games? What a load for that price.

[E20]

ePSXE for unlimited PS1 games on a laptop or tablet for free rather than paying 100$ for something that's supposed to replicate fake nostalgia.

Also sad to see no hentai games listed.

Battle Arena Toshinden - was a groundbreaking game :tu
Cool Boarders 2 - I had fun with it, but not sure if it should be included :td
Destruction Derby - the destruction system was revolutionary at the time :tu
Driller - What the fuck is this? :td
Final Fantasy VII - fuck no :td
Grand Theft Auto - Grand Theft Auto what? III?
Intelligent Qube - Garbage :td
Jumping Flash - was included on the demo disc for the early shipments of PS1. Was technologically impressive, however only the demo was needed :td
Metal Gear Solid - the first 5 minutes of the game was all I needed to be instantly hooked to the series :tu
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - great game, however will be hard to play after getting used to the remake :tu
Rayman - trash :td
Resident Evil Director's Cut - The one that started it all :tu
Revelations: Persona - trash :td
Ridge Racer Type 4 - Ridge Racer should have been chosen.. I remember the disc wasn't needed to play after it loaded so I returned the game to blockbuster and kept my PS1 on for 2 more days to keep playing :lol
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo - trash :td
Syphon Filter - loved Syphon Filter :tu
Tekken 3 - Should have been Tekken 2 :td
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - meh.. Dreamcast version was so much better :td
Twisted Metal - oh hell yeah, my first game I bought, 100% because of the box art and description on back.. Turned out to be the favorite game for me and all my friends to play :tu :tu
Wild Arms - trash :td

Because of the size of the ISO's I doubt extra games being added will be an option too.. ePSX FTW

I used to love it.. but nobody else was willing to tolerate the graphics, and I assume a ton of people out there felt the same about it (and the London one that came out soon after).. GTA III on the other hand was a bonafide system seller

Edit: I forgot GTA III was PS2, so nevermind

Could be if you delete all the shit games. Then you'd have room for at least 15 good games.

Wild arms is a decent game but its fanbase didnt survive.

Suikoden 2 would have been the perfect game since its the only ps1 masterpiece that I can think off that aged really well.

What a shame. It could've been great...I'll be sure to cancel my preorder.

For $100 you could easily buy a hackable PS3, put 4.82 firmware on, and then custom firmware. From Multiman (in CFW) then you can run any PS1 rom off the hard drive or even a USB flash drive. Another good option for PS1 games is a Raspberry Pi 3, but the Dualshock 3 runs like crap on it (the XBox 360 controller with a generic Chinese adapter is great though). And it's kind of a pain to go into every game and switch configuration between the digital controller and the Dualshock. But it runs PS1 games beautifully. Of the two I consider the PS3 the far easier option but the Raspberry Pi is tiny and won't take up a lot of space.

N64 graphics aged pretty badly too. Not as horribly as PS1, but Ocarina of Time at 20 fps on a modern TV is painful. Also PS1 had lots of great 2D games that have aged really well while N64 didn't. Everything N64 is polygonal ugly first gen 3D. But N64's 3D games definitely look better than PS1's.

n64 was held back a bit because of cartridges, but that also meant they had virtually no loading screens. imo just a much more fun console overall than ps1. ps2 blew its competition out of the water, and playstation has been king ever since imo

Depends what kind of games you like. I'm big into RPGs and N64 didn't have anything worthwhile there. It was massively held back by cartridges, which is why they lost the Final Fantasy series as well as the Crono series and the Breath of Fire series.

It was dead the second Nintendo announced they were done with them, as NES Classic and SNES Classic were the only two good ones ever made. Otherwise they have been cash grabs for crap quality hardware. Atari Flashback has been released 4-5 times and it has been shit every single time. Genesis Flashback has been even worse with garbage audio and terrible emulation every single time it has been released. And the controllers have been junk too. The Namco Blast machines have been horrible, advertising arcade games on the box and then being loaded with NES versions of the arcade games on the actual machines. Neo Geo Classic was stupid and the controller was crap. Commodore 64 Mini had a terrible game selection. And then Playstation Classic had a ridiculous price tag for horrible quality emulation.

Good riddance to the micro console if Nintendo is out of the picture. Nintendo is the only company who ever cared in the slightest about putting out a product people would enjoy using. And I still play the hell out of my SNES Classic because the controller is spot on and the emulation feels just like the real SNES (and with an NES Classic controller and dual booting into the NES Classic it feels like a real NES too). It's sad the NES/SNES Classic have been cancelled, because they're outstanding quality and worth every cent. If anyone is thinking about getting one do it ASAP because they're not going to be stocked again.

Nah a PS2 microconsole isn't doable via emulation on a $100 budget plus the games are about 5 times larger than PS1 so you're incurring a lot of extra expense on the flash memory too. You're only going to see PS2 emulation on the PC, PS4, and PS5. Not even the Switch would be powerful enough to run PS2 games well in emulation most likely. But anything can emulate PS1. My $35 Raspberry Pi blasts through PS1 games and I can turn on a lot of extra filters for improving image quality on it too. The PS1 Classic was the easy one to get right but Sony phoned it in the same way Sega did with the various Genesis Flashbacks.

[spurraider21]

tbh i cant think of a single PS1 game where i'd be thinking "man i cant wait till i get the chance to replay that game"

[baseline bum]

One way Sony could do a PS2 Classic is in two or three years use extremely low budget AMD Ryzen APUs on 7nm (should be reasonable to create an affordable Jaguar level IPC+clockspeed chip with less cores) and then sell the PS2 games on PSN. But I think they'd rather just have you buy a PS4/PS5 and buy the PS2 games on it just like Nintendo is doing now on the Switch.

I replayed MGS two years ago and died so many times it was ridiculous. Maybe I just got shittier at games as I got older, but Solid Snake controls like a tank, which made every gunfight a chore. The Hind D fight was a nightmare.
