I don't really see the point in this. Why would someone buy a state of the art machine, then play PS1 games on it? Yeah, they were great at the time but, who is going to play Gran Turrismo 1, when you could play GT-HD with everything being so much better. O.K. maybe there's a couple of PS2 titles that maybe worth playing again, at least until a sequel comes out.
On the whole I think it's a bit of a waste, they should concentrate on giving us new gamming experiences, not re-selling us old crap!

The same thing applies to 360. DIGDUG & PACMAN Boo! we want Gears of war, Halo3 etc...

You just dont get it. Slapping the cr@p out of sephirot in FFVII on a HDTV with MIDI music on my $1000 stereo is the s*** :)

Anyways, it's ok to have. Not to complain if they are downloadable for free. Which seems not to be the case. Bad move for all if too pricey.

specialguest6387d ago

there are lots of PS1 games i would like to play again. there are some old games i will avoid because it just looks and feels so dated. other games like Tetris Plus and SFpuzzle were some of my favorites and i would still play it today.

CAPS LOCK6387d ago

its about choice as u 360 fanboys say. i do want to play some great ps1 games that i have missed like, most of the final fantasy games and som of the mortal kombat games. but i do hope they dont charge alot for them.

unleash bass6387d ago

Choice is good, I can't argue with that. But I've played a few of these old games on XBLIVE and MAME etc, for I supose nostalgia, but after about five mins I'm bored. The GFX are poor, game play is poor, the controls are un-responsive and they make no attempt to update them. I find that you remember them being far better than they actually are, possibly because things have moved on so much since.

NB: This doesn't apply to all, some old games are great. I'm generalising.

crazyman6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

sounds like a good idea I do like some of the PS1 games like the original bandicoot but of the price of the download u could probaly buy a ps1 and the game (although theyre hard to find)

Siesser6387d ago (Edited 6387d ago )

Most of the ones I want are expensive. Try tracking down a copy of Bust a Groove or Tomba! 2 or Ehrgeiz

Nodoze6387d ago

Did I read this correctly? There are no visual enhancements to older games? The 360 applies anti aliasing to the older games which makes them look quite nice. The PS2 was always in DIRE need of some AA.

I was thinking about picking up a PS3 for access to back catalog of PS2 games (and some future games), but if there is no enhancement at all to older titles...why bother.

PS360WII6387d ago

Well first off it's a good thing. Having downloadable games are a key component to this generation of consoles. Yet, I really doubt these will be free which 1.1 says maybe like 5 or 10 dollars. The down size of this is just the sheer volume of games that have no purpose showing it's head to the public again. PS1 had some killer games, but they also had alot of horrible games. So to have the whole ps1 library on the ps3 I just don't see the point. They have records they know which game reviewed better and they have lists of games people want to see again. Release them and leave the others to the curb.

kmis876387d ago

Yeah, all the consoles usually have a massive amount of games that would best be left forgotten. I'd like it if only the better, or more popular games were downloadable, because there are some like Chrono Chross and Vagrant Story that I would love to get to play after missing them 10 years ago in the fifth generation.

He did a track guide for Neurnberg 24 in GTsport.

We have had no more content since then, maybe a few time trail modes, I believe there was one from Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstapen as well, due to the red bull partnership.

Back to Lewis, He STILL wears the Gran Turismo logo on his caps, every weekend Formula One races take place.

I was expcting more from this sponsorship, oh well. This video, is kinda rubbing salt into the wound, for me

That Driver tutorial still haunts my dreams. That parking lot saw me fail a thousand times

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake3d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX2d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer3d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils3d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg3d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
