PlayStation Classics games reportedly begin showing up on PSN backend

kopgdkofdskogdkop.png

As you should be well aware now, Sony is changing PlayStation Plus. The highest tier, Premium, will feature "classic" titles from PlayStation's beloved library of older consoles; what we don't know is which games will be a part of the service. A new leak might give us some insight, though, and some possible ideas of what to expect from PlayStation. Three titles have appeared on the PlayStation Network backend, according to a Reddit user, complete with cover art images, concept IDs, and title IDs. Those three games are Mr. Driller, Ridge Racers 2, and Tekken 2. Given that the images are being hosted by PlayStation, the leak appears to be fairly definitive--for now, nothing is fully confirmed.

Ridge Racers 2? I know about Ridge Racer 2, but not Ridge Racers 2. 🤔

I'm hoping Sony includes as many PS1/PS2/PSP games as possible on PS4/PS5 (via the subscription, unfortunately) so we can see where it leads.

I know that Tekken 2 and Mr Driller were certainly already/previously available on PSN for PSP/PS3/PSVita... Ridge Racer 2's the only unusual one of those 3.

Wish we could get Mr Driller G on there. It's about the oldest one in the series I'd still play and doesn't really matter if it's translated or not.

one of the best random rpgs I purchased as a kid. still have the original ps1 copy before it hit the green greatest hits edition.

it wasn't a well marketed game when it came out. even with all the magazines i looked at it took a random look in a circuit city to look at the back of case and give it a try. no one else that was a local rpg nut like me even knew what that game was.

Crazy how we were never getting the ones with a decent amount of content back then. Good memories of my friend and I spending many hours emulating Ace in my bedroom and very glad to now have DrillLand remastered.

I'd bet FF7 is gonna be there.

hopefully it's not the ff7 from the psx classic. that game really hasn't aged well, and it looks like shit on that system. the remastered version is like night and day for the most part. I'm at the final dungeon in the switch one, but I keep dying.

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep

    i said i was sleeping...

    sleeping with uremum

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
