I think they did what they could. Sony always half-asses things. At least they got shit like FF VII and MGS which normies care about, and even though actual Persona fans don't care about the shitty NA localization of Persona 2, as I said, they tried.
Also, their 1st party output is not that strong.
They also underrate Jumping Flash themselves. IMO it's one of the more interesting series Sony published, and the sequel is also worth having, way more than GTA or whatever other port that has a better version on PC.
That's just my critic on the game list though, even if it had all my favorites on it, I still wouldn't buy it.

Didn't grow up with the PlayStation, I got a PS2 in 2005. N64 was my jam. PSX was a very good console, though, with a very solid library of games that are not the majority of what is offered here. MGS, great. FFVII, great. Tekken 3, never played it but I've heard good things, so great. Intelligent Qube, great.

But no Spyro? Fuck you Sony.

Not including Spyro and Crash was not the smartest of moves but makes sense seeing how the games got remakes recently. This system will be fully hackable due to USB. Not that I care because I already have my PS TV loaded. Keeping my pre-order because I like collecting for some reason.

[Anonymous No.5146723]

>>5146678
Rainbow Six is probably the closest thing to a modern military shooter the console has to offer to the deep pocketed FPS players. It also isn't that bad of a port once you get used to the awful control scheme. Syphon Filter was also the most highly regarded action series for the PSX. No idea why "meme inclusion' is necessary since it's an obvious choice.

It's a shame Tenchu 2 didn't make the list.

Terrible choice of games, but PSX emulates pretty well, so it's hard to be too upset. Why salty, OP? This is just an emulation box anyhow. You can probably do better all on your own.

I'm not against buying products, either: I have a Super NT, and a few everdrives for different consoles. But, I can't imagine that the little Sony box will emulate any better than your PC can. I even doubt that the USB controllers will be as nice as the original PSX controller. I'll bet that your Dual Shock 3 controller running on an emulation box would be higher quality.

As others have pointed out the list is a mashups of nostalgia picks and games to promote currently popular series. Also SONY is limited by some licensing restrictions, which I’m sure we can all understand. What I do object to is games that have better versions on “other” contemporary systems or arcade ports. The NES classic has the same problems, I understand their not going to give everything away, but too many “slots” in the list are taken by arcade ports that weren’t major sellers for the system at the time, and/or didn’t really “define” the system in most people minds.

When I think of PlayStation and Nintendo I just don’t think of Puzzle Fighter or PAC-MAN.

Good pick for the same reason as GTA but this one is easily the worst in the Persona series, trash game but good for people curious to see where Persona started I guess.

> Ridge Racer Type 4
Great pick but I wonder why other racing games like NFS, Gran Turismo and Colin Mcrae aren't here.

Cool but why not Alpha 3 instead?

Obvious pick, people seem to forget how popular this game was for a very brief period of time.

Well I mean this game was a bit more popular on the PS1 than people seem to realize but why not have Medal of Honor in your FPS slot?

Great pick, glad they didn't forget this one.

iirc the swap trick is just using a legitimate game to load past a certain point, then physically stopping the disk, removing it, and replacing it with a burned disk. You'll have to get something to keep a little button pressed down so you can keep the lid open to swap it. There should be plenty of guides out there for detailed instructions.

I've also been told you can use a gameshark CD as a boot disk, but I haven't tried and I assume they aren't easy or cheap to find.

So apparently Sony didn't even bother using their in-house emulator and just used a modified version of PCSX ReARMed. Oh, most of the games on the system are the pal versions.

>It’s never a guarantee that a plug-and-play system like this will get the emulation right, but from my time jumping around between the PlayStation Classic’s games, it seems like this part is good enough. The games look and sound accurate, their mid-90s jagged pixels looking like you could grate a block of cheese with them. (A listing of licenses for open-source software accessible in the PlayStation Classic’s menu said that it uses the open-source PlayStation emulator PCSX ReARMed.)

>Oddly, many of the games on the PlayStation Classic were the European versions. When I booted up Final Fantasy VII, for example, I got the classic “Licensed By Sony Computer Entertainment of America” splash screen. But when I ran Battle Arena Toshinden, Grand Theft Auto, or Tekken 3, the screen said “Licensed By Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.” There are some tiny differences that I could spot in the games, such as having to select a United Kingdom flag from a menu if you wanted Grand Theft Auto’s text to display in English. (I’m not sure if there are any major differences buried later in any of the games.)

While the original THPS has my favorite soundtrack ever it would be pretty funny if they paid some shitty local band $100 bucks to make a new soundtrack for it.

Jesus christ, you PALfags who spend thousands of Euros on PAL system and games will see anything to justify all that spent money.

Most PAL games until the Dreamcast, that is to say 95% of the console games not made by PAL devs, run about 20% slower and often have fucked up aspect ratio.

The "PAL = higher resolution" argument doesn't even matter considering only PAL devs took advantage of it.

"It lags less" is also bs. Yes, it's less likely to have a choppy framerate, because framerate is always 50fps instead of 60. That's like saying it's better because instead of lagging only in places it lags all the time.

There is no excuse to still play those versions in 2018 and there is no excuse a Playstation mini should use PAL versions of games not made in PAL regions.

[Anonymous No.5152934]

tl;dr: Newsflash your thousand euros PAL console games collection belong into the trash.

If I were you I'd sell all that shit now while there are still idiots who are ready to buy it against hot potatoes. Only keep games made by PAL devs, and start important and/or emulating the real versions.

This is coming from someone living in a PAL territory. It's 2018, wake the fuck up.

I don't keep up with licensing shit but no GT either? They shouldn't have limited themselves to 20 games either.

Yeah, but I think it’s been a victim of it’s own potential. My own list would be,

Final Fantasy VII
Tomb Raider
Metal Gear Solid
Ridge Racer 4
Crash Bandicoot
Wipeout 3
Tekken 3
Resident Evil 2
Grand Theft Auto

Parasite Eve
Armoured Core
G Darius
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
Einhander
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Parappa
Super Puzzle Fighter
Abe’s Odyssey
Castlevania SOTN

While the logistics of getting all of that licensed and emulated properly probably would have been a nightmare compared to what Nintendo had to do, I think a lot of people got really excited about the prospect of being able to play games like Einhander, G Darius, Vagrant Story (or whatever they were hoping for) for the first time. Seeing shrugs like Destruction Derby just making up the numbers in the line-up is so deflating.

Also, and I’m aware of the reasons why they may not have been included (music licensing, recent remakes etc), but games like Tomb Raider and Wipeout were genuine cultural phenomenons, and helped define what the Playstation meant to a generation of gamers. They're synonymous with the console, so their exclusion in favour of games like Toshinden and Jumping Flash just makes the whole line-up seem poorly considered, cheap and rushed, even if it wasn’t.

[Anonymous No.5159539]

Why are people bitching about the games list?
>video game licenses and magnets, how the fuck do they work?!?!?
I mean seriously, the ps1 library was like 99% third party games.
Sony is doing this to jump aboard the hype train and get some quick and easy green.
They aren’t going to shell out the cash to other companies so they can put more sought after games on the system.
They are trying to make easy money, not win over the hearts of /vr.

Plus the games list is pretty decent. If you were to go out and buy all these games it would cost more than 2x what the classic system retails for.

I don't need a Wikipedia Source (tm), this is common knowledge. Only the Dreamcast started pushing mandatory 60hz for all its game, and even a lot of PS2 games were still getting awful PAL version in the meantime (Onimusha, Final Fantasy X)

Go emulate Jap and US games then emulate their PAL version. Go have a look at Resident Evil, Final Fantasy IX, etc. Between the NES and Dreamcast era only a handful of devs bothered to do proper PAL conversions for their games. I can count good PAL conversions of NES on one hand and the PS1 is not exception.

Because some companies have standard.

For instance Lobotomy Software for the original Saturn release of Exhumed made a proper PAL conversion, the game runs at the correct speed. The game also had other differences like some improvements and level design changes. EGM praised the game and it became more successful in the UK than anywhere else.
They didn't treat PAL like second rate citizens and got rewarded for it.

PAL PS1 version runs bad though.

Also fun fact: the PAL version of the original Super Mario Bros actually runs about 10% faster than the other releases.

wrong

It's really, really good, one of the most detailed jrpgs i've ever played with a simple but engaging realtime battle system.
Literally every item in the game has different sets of text for each of the characters when they examine them, each character keeps a diary throughout the game complete with illustrations in the character's style, the storyline is separate from the anime and in some ways is better. They even recorded a translated version of the theme tune (which the anime did not have).
The only problem is traditional working designs fuckery making the combat harder in the western release, it's still not that hard though.

No it's not, I got the game right here. I've played every version and every region of the game and i've even done speedruns. The PAL version is even the fastest one for speedruns.

It plays at the correct speed and the proof of that is that the timing of a couple of things are different, because sometimes you can't perfect convert everything.

Actually the anime did get a dub opening for S1 and the second OP of S2. Though the game did have a different script for theirs. It could have also been a later release type of deal.

Shit I want to replay/rewatch/reread Rayearth again.

You're kidding, right? You could get a storage device big enough to fit the entire PS1 library for, like, $15

[Anonymous No.5167029]

I've been put off of mini consoles since the snes mini, it was really not as good as it was hyped and the hacked emulators have too much input lag. I'll just use original until fpga stuff is a bit more mature which should be in the next 2 years.

Question: Would anyone care about this if it turns out it's hackable? If I can dump any rom on it, would it be worth? Probably not, considering since it uses an open source emu anyway, you might as well just throw together a pie and then have a multi machine emu

>if it turns out it's hackable?
it will, why lazy sony should bother with antipiracy for old games?
and even if they tried someone would hack it anyway, like all the other consoles
>would it be worth?
only if you care about the original controllers (and you don't have two ds already with an usb adapter) and want an adorable box to show your friends (if you have any) and reddit

It's preconfigured, looks nice and has the "original" controllers. I fucking work 40 hours a week and don't have time to put 3000 games and corresponding emulators onto a thing that I'll never play. honestly for 99 bux I don't give a rat's ass

Yeah no friends here, but also no dual shock controllers. I don't know why I'm so into the idea of getting these classic consoles, I have a perfectly decent PC that I could emulate most of these games on, either in their old janky glory, or with graphics that would have made the n64/PS1 throw up and die.

>>5168751
Eh, weak argument. Configuring emulators and getting roms isn't really that difficult that I would argue "oh but just buying the classic saves me so much time". You can probably all set it up and play in less time than it would take you to go and buy or order and wait for a classic console.
Also, I'm on the opposite end, I think 99 bucks is quite a heavy asking price for something that is essentially a "FFVII/RE/Metal Gear machine" Because lets face it, those are the "top" tier games in the lineup, then there's some decent ones and the rest is trash. As people said before:
>no [insert list of 20 other titles that were iconic for the PS1]
And if it turns out to be hackable then, well you're back to downloading roms anyway, so might as well play them on PC.

because playing console games on a pc doesn't seems right, on a tv feels better
I suggest to pick a raspberry with a cool case: cost effective, more capable emulator, can use every controller and storage for ISOs, can even play online with retroarch netplay, media-center functionality with kodi
also if you don't like it you can always use it as torrent seed box or dns server on your home network for adblocking

>Eh, weak argument.
You omitted the part where I wanted it because it's a mini PSX that plays PSX games. Look, we've all been emulating for 15+ years, PC or rpi, it's kind of neat that this mini thing approaches the spirit and style of the original console. That's it dude. Crucify me for being a consumer whore but again it's worth the price of a night out for a little nostalgia/novelty. Even better if you can add your own games.

It's hardly nostalgic when it has a shitty lineup of games on it that were not even relevant in their own era. Not worth $100 just to add games to it later. I think we should all refrain from buying these things until they've hit the bargain bin at a reasonable price.

I mean fuck, there's HUNDREDS of lists that have listed PS1 games by popularity, or by poll, or by some editors personal choice, and Dear lord, I doubt "Coolboarders2" makes many top 20 lists.

You can get a working PSP + a memory card for it for the same money and enjoy your games on the go AND have more games on it, plus have the access to PSP, GB/GBC/GBA and NES games. Whoever fell for this mini PS1 garbage is a complete retard.

The same place that has an infinite supply of used, modable PSPs like every thread about this subject suggests we should all be buying.
Just like that guy who thinks that because he found a modded PS1 for $5 and a free PVM that's somehow a viable choice for the hundreds of thousands of customers a tiny emulator box would have.

If you're a /vr/tard sure, normies will have lost games, scratched discs, broken lasers/motors, ps1s buried under junk, and all kinds of other things gone wrong. That's why the ps1 classic was so warmly welcomed - it was meant to bring all those classics back. Not mediocrity and a bunch of junk you never heard of.
