Sony announces the PlayStation Classic

invaderyoyo · Sep 19, 2018

The Vita TV was also $100 when it launched. That thing can play PS1, PSP, and PS Vita games.

$100 is a bit too much for this. If it was closer to $50, I think they could sell a ridiculous amount.

Each unit will come bundled with an HDMI cable, a USB cable,

just a usb cable? not a charger? do they expect you to power it via a phone charger you already have? if so, can't wait for all the people frying their psx classic with samsung quick chargers, just like their dual shock 4's.

I said much the same about nes classics at $60, and it wasn't until the next august I ever saw any of those in the wild. *shrug* I've just stuck with my retro pi.

The Megadrives/Genesis from AtMega/Sega come from ~2009.
In any case, it is a good bandwagon to get into again, after Nintendo copied them and made it popular.

AtGames Genesis/Megadrive were not reissues of the original design. Just like Game &Watch mini classics from 1998 if you will.

so the game retail cycle basically goes. port old games to new console, remaster ported games in hd to newer console, repackage old games in "retro" package

It's just not the same.

xskibbles · Sep 19, 2018

Wish they would stop with this classic console stuff and just add the games to there current gen console .

Something whatever · Sep 19, 2018

can't wait

graeme122 · Sep 19, 2018

Rubbish, a used ps3 for cheaper can do all of that and more.

we did, The Wii U with a portable screen while being a controller wasn't a thing in gaming prior. That is something recent while being completely new in the console market. That's the thing, I can name perfectly new things with other console manufacturers just fine while I can't think of a thing Sony did.

I mean if we wanna go that route, Remote Play between the PSP and PS3 accomplishes exactly that in 2006, 6 years before the Wii U even came out.

Sigh, I just want to play ps1 games on ps4 with HD support (like ps2 games on ps4) is that too much to ask?

Also apparently castlevania symphony of the night might come to ps4. At this point all I need is:

-Brave fencer Musashi
-Ape Escape
-Toomba
-Wild Arms
-Klonoa

And I am good

Sorta but I meant more like a secondary screen like using it as a map and such. But ey you found something Sony did entirely new wich was my original question and that is remote play. Forgot about that so glad that somebody could answer my question

I think the PS1 controller was also the first one with actual handles. Pretty much everybody copied that afterwards.

n64 controller had 3 handles wich no human can gab all at once

it was i think a mix of a joystick and a snes controller, whatever it was it was an abomination

Yeah, that's true, I guess that one brought handles galore... but it came later.

The out-of-the-box config isn't important. I think the bigger concern for scum like us is whether it will support a Dualshock after you hack it and put CTR on it.

I really really like where your head's at.

The PlayStation released before the N64.

As long as it got Mega Man 8

Me too and if it doesn't then that's ok. Someone might hack it and Mega Man 8 can be playable!

My first console that was mine exclusively. I'll probably pick one up after they're out for a while, assuming they don't make the mistake of making this a limited edition release.
