Sony announces the PlayStation Classic

sarkwalvein · Sep 19, 2018

To be honest, and out of nostalgia, I hope it includes:

Wild Arms (confirmed?)
Final Fantasy VII (confirmed?)
Ridge Racer 4 (confirmed?)
Soul Blade
Alundra
Medievil
Breath of Fire III
Twisted Metal 2
Chrono Cross
Xenogears
Deception 3: Dark delusion
Etc.

No dual-analog? No Ape Escape? No buy!

That was a pretty good game, Dual Shock required LOL, how stupid a 100€ that is way worse than made in China ripp-off consoles which have way more power and doesnt bring analog sticks, I hated those controllers back when I had my PS1, after having dualshock I never looked back to the first controller without sticks...

i can't imagine playing ridge racer without analog sticks.

What? I can't imagine playing PS1 RR WITH analogue sticks...

Regarding analogue though, what's the chances we get a 'We've listened to our fans, they're coming next year for only $30 per controller!'

Good pricepoint, some good games already mentioned (Jumping Flash will always get another play off me!) - I'm sold!

NES/SNES just blew up (rightly so) because Nintendo had notoriously ignored their retro appeal until then. Can’t blame Sony for having a go (at Christmas no less!) and this type of thing has been around forever.. I’ve still got this from what must be 2000ish?

i had a friend that has one of those, iirc it had streets of rage and ghouls & ghosts on it
i heard somewhere a long time ago that they have a physical cartridge port interface on the inside and you could hook up real carts to it and play

would be neat if there's a physical port to support the original controllers, like to be able to use third party stuff and/or dualshock

also as someone that's never played the original, and only really played newer racing games, analog sticks have kind of become a necessity

Hm.
Idk if I should buy.
I'm tempted tho.

Did the first PS1 RR even support the analogue sticks?
That said, the lack of analogue makes some games a PITA.

No, hence my point, although I've just read it's actually RR Type 4 that's the announced game, not the first.... sorry LiveLatios! (and I can't remember if that supported analogue or not)

Yeah, 2 good points there! Judging by the pics it looks like some adaptor would have to be required to plug in the original controllers though, so I'm not sure it'll happen.

2018 - The year of the "Mini-Console" Remakes

// Wait till 2047 ... there will be "Switch-Mini" ??

NEC should create a PC98-Mini ... would totally buy that

Switch keychain edition. Very comfortable /s.

Oh, right. The analog-stick free controller with the terrible L2/R2 buttons. We all remind this console this way and not with the analog-sticks, right? Right?

Since the controllers seem to try to replicate the very original ones it not even has rumble, I assume. The first controllers hadn't. As all of this wasn't worse enough there is no way that this controller ports are compatible with the original contollers.

I wonder how much percent smaller this is compared to the PS One (the small version of the PS1).

I really love the PS1, but I think most people remind the PS1 with the DualShock controllers, not with the very first iteration. Not to mention that they had transparent controllers with many colours for the PS1 back then.

No Sony. I love the PS1, but the whole nostalgica thing only works if you really enable ~~the true~~ a close enough experince from back then and for many many people they remind a version with analog-sticks.

I thought that only supported the JogCon, although Sony could remap it.

I can't figure out whether it's using the original controller plug or not... It might not support the extra power for rumble in any case.

I'm not sure if I will buy this, but I've not been interested in any of the nintendo ones. But this is PlayStation and that is better than all the Nintendo ones so far.

I wonder if they're just shipping an emulator, or whether they've shrunk the SOC.

i don't like how small these consoles are. I wish they are their original size.

Deleted User · Sep 19, 2018

Cool,can't wait for people to mod it to run iso backups.

Scalpers: YES!

Because of them i cant get any snes or es classic here where i live, and they are way expensive...beyond logical or normal price. Whats worst is that people buy them.

Issac · Sep 19, 2018

Depending on what games are included, I'd be very interested in one.

If its hackable (and i presume it will be) you can have whatever game you want xD

MGS and GT1/2 need to be on this.

GT1/2 most definitely support analog input, and seeing as how this doesn't come with it, i doubt it'll be included

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.
