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.

Star Ocean 2 please... god damn it.
I thought about buying star ocean 4 on the ps5/4, but it's too costly for my blood. I like the blood on the keys, battle theme, but the game itself sucks so much ass. I think I beat it on the 360, and the last boss was hard as fuck.

I think the ps1 probably is due to there only being one emulator: medievil. it's one of my favorite games, the only game I bought after playing a demo in the store. I bought it at that same store. I recently bought it for the ps4/5, the remastered version, but it seemed kinda costly for a ps1 game.

I don't know of a psp emulator, but the main emulators for ps2 are rogue galaxy and Jak X, ps1 is medievil, and saturn is cotton. the latter two only have one emulator each, but I think cotton has pretty good compatibility, at least from what I've read.

I’m just glad ridge racer is getting talked about!
I hope there will be trophies etc
Or even a new ridge racer game from scratch

Namco have certainly flushed this gem down the bog

You're confusing it with the fifth one, THAT one sucks ass.

It will be very good if we can buy PS1, PS2 and PSP games individually as it was on PSP, PSVita and PS3 (and as it is on Xbox Series X with Xbox and Xbox 360 games), being exclusive to the service doesn't seem like a good choice to me.

I just wish we had real backwards compatibility, that we could insert the PS1 (or PS2) game disc and play without any issues.

    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.
