Playstation Classic announced

[QualityChimp]

I'd be excited if I got this and within ten minutes, even the games I like, I'd be going "Oh man this has aged!" and be frustrated with the Magoo-like draw distance and low-poly counts.

[importaku]

Lol that lineup is piss poor, even if i lower my standards that's only 3 out of that lineup i'd be playing. Better hope Japan gets something better or hacking does happen as there's no way im paying for that uk version.

And just like that the jpn list appears while slightly better than western lineup it's still pretty bad overall. Well i can happily pass this by.

[Nu-Eclipse]

The choice of Ridge Racer is a wrong one (Had to be RRR).

Corrected!

But yeah, both western and JPN lists look very underwhelming. Hacking is now a must but how much onboard memory will it have for ISOs?

[importaku]

Should rename it to the playstation tragic as a lot of those games i wouldn't call classics in any sense of the word. LOL seriously they shoved in total crap like toshinden but parappa was left out.

[MartyG]

Battle Arena Toshinden - meh
Cool Boarders 2 - meh
Destruction Derby - meh
Final Fantasy VII - yay
Grand Theft Auto - mmm
Intelligent Qube - meh
Jumping Flash - meh
Metal Gear Solid - yay
Mr Driller - mmm
Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee - mmm
Rayman - mmm
Resident Evil Director’s Cut - mmm
Revelations: Persona - yay
Ridge Racer Type 4 - yay
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo - mmm
Syphon Filter - mmm
Tekken 3 - yay
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six - mmm
Twisted Metal - mmm
Wild Arms - mmm

I can't say I'm that impressed with the line up - pretty underwhelming selection.

[speedlolita]

Not going to buy one but I think it's a strong lineup. Excellent value for money.

Plenty when you remove all the crap

[_SD_]

Well at least the Japanese get a couple of banging shooters...

[Dogg Thang]

Feels like a solid lineup to me and, aside from a lack of Wipeout and Tomb Raider, seems like a very representative snapshot of the PS1 with a bit of everything and some real classics. Not quite sure what you were all expecting in 20 games.

[MartyG]

Like that classic everyone has in their PS1 Top Ten. Intelligence Qube.

[Dogg Thang]

That’s one game out of twenty. It would be hard to make any case that one of the others shouldn’t be there other than just personal preference.

[importaku]

It's very telling that they took so long to announce the lineup now we know why.

[MoFo2]

For me personally, I hope the haxxorz people can find out how to at least replace the games we don’t want there.
