PlayStation Classic is a small gaming device that comes with 20 games from the PlayStation 1 generation. Those 20 are revealed yesterday.
When I first heard about PlayStation classic last month I wrote a post about the games I want to see in it. The five games that were announced at the time were of a good variety so I made my list with them in mind.
Now the games have been announced, I think they're a good choice of sony. The selection has games I anticipated were Resident Evil & Metal Gear Solid. As well as games I thought are popular enough like Rayman & Syphon Filter.
PSClassic Lineup:
Here's the whole list:
| Battle Arena Toshinden | Cool Boarders 2 | Destruction Derby | Final Fantasy VII |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grand Theft Auto | Intelligent Qube | Jumping Flash | Metal Gear Solid |
| Mr Driller | Oddworld: Abe's odyssey | Rayman | Resident Evil: Director's Cut |
| Revelations: Persona | Ridge Racer Type 4 | Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo | Syphon Filter |
| Tekken 3 | Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six | Twisted Metal | Wild Arms |
Persona 1, is a game I forgot to put in my most wanted list and I'm happy it's in the #PSClassic. Even though there's no Crash Bandicoot or Spyro. I'm very glad.
Differences Between Versions:
The list above is for the western version, the Japanese version has it's own list of games which is very similar except one point that I think would make people sour about this:
Japanese version has Parasite Eve,
while the western versions don't have that game.
I think that's weird business choice as that game was one of the most wanted games. Well, the Japanese version has many differences but I think this one is significant. what do you think?
Final Thoughts
I would've liked more games to be on the console, Metal Slug will do good on this system. I haven't played the PS1's GTA but I doubt it gives a similar experience of the open world of those released in PS2 time.
Metal Gear Solid was something I expected of this console, so I'm really happy they didn't disappoint us by ditching this game.
I'm not sure how I feel that there are 3 cars/racing games but no Driver 1/2.
Other than games, the console features aren't mentioned by Sony yet. As I said in my post a month ago, I'd like to see Save States, Screen Filters & Dual Shock controllers, the last of which I think is unlikely but will be happy if it happened.
So that's what I have for today.
What do you think?
Do you agree with sony about the games
