The PlayStation Vita officially supports PSOne Classics games now. But not all of them, at least not officially. As of today, you'll be able to get .... thirteen of them from the PlayStation Store directly through the Vita. You can get many that aren't on the store, if you have previously bought them on PS3 or PSP, by checking your account's download history and downloading from there.
But that doesn't work for every game – many PSOne games are not available for download onto Vita through your history. Many of those can be copied to Vita from PS3 ... if you happen to have them sitting on your PS3 without installing them. And that doesn't cover all games either.
The PS3 Store's closing! We've whipped up a guide to nab all the best PSOne Classics. Some might disappear forever; hurry before they're gone!
There could be some big things coming to the latest firmware update for PS4, like the ability to change your PSN name and downloading PS1 classics. WWG runs down what could be the most exciting features.
Anytime a PlayStation console updates moves to a new whole number means that it's going to be a huge update
PSOne compatibility would be a great. It could also indicate that they will increase compatibility over time and might go for full compatibility with the PS5 so that you can play all your PSN and hopefully physical games on one console. Wish list would also be great even though it should've been implemented a long time ago.
I hope they fix the audio sync problem i the media player, been messed up for waaaaaaaaaaaay too long
Something SO big for them, to warrant a new version number has been on Xbox last gen. Change your username. Wow.
Wonder what they can add. I'm really surprised they added HDR to base PS4 a while back.
Mega Man Legends 2 finally comes to PSN as a PSOne Classic. I'm here to tell you why that's actually a big deal.
Although this is great, I hope Capcom will add Mega Man X8 to the NA PSN. They we'd have all the classic Mega Man games on PlayStation platforms worth playing on PSN.
Mega Man X8, PS2 on PS4! Absolutely FANTASTIC idea. I can't wait for more PS2 games to get added to the PS4 library. Added trophies rock, and playing PS2 games on remote-play with Vita is so excessively dope. I play GTA - San Andreas on Vita, baby!
I agree. This is huge. It might be one of the most requested PS One Classics since Suikoden II.
This is all great, but I want vita games on my vita.
If I wanted to play my PS1 games, id play my PS1.
So it could've been done differently. A blunder is a bit excessive.
In my experience when the update came up I was excited and started re-downloading PSOne titles on my PS3 initially and just moved them over to my Vita. All the games worked fine. Not one negative thought entered my head because I was excited to finally be able to play my PSOne games on the Vita, on the go. Yes there could've been more PSOne titles shown on PSN, but all-in-all I'm happy with the update. The more features the better, no need to complain about free stuff.
Sony has been screwing up with the Vita from the beginning.
Sony does thing, people get angry. Surprising.
this really isn't any different than when they introduced PSP backwards compatibility. not all titles were available then, either.
people just don't seem to have any patience these days, and they clearly don't seem to understand that there may be other factors preventing all titles from being supported right away.
