@FullbringIchigo I hope it's just that they didn't want their news to be overshadowed by Call of Duty and Red Dead. That's really the only positive explanation I can think of.

@Kidfried @FullbringIchigo I'd say they're still finalising the ROM. I think that the only reasonable assumption for the initial limited line up reveal is that the rest weren't confirmed. So they're probably wrangling with a combination of license issues and/or putting together alternate titles or altered games (a different WipEout music playlist, for example).

The hardware really is the easiest part of it. Licensing the games and associated content is the rub.

@FullbringIchigo
It's actually not too bad a list - missing a few I'd have wanted though.

I'm probably going to cancel my preorder.

@FullbringIchigo It's kinda of lackluster if you ask me. I am surprised the Symphony of the Night didnt make it or Suikoden or even Legend of Dragoon. Most of the games I would want to play aren't on this thing so I am probably going to pass on it

To be honest, whatever line up they had, I was never going to buy it. With so many games to pick from, there was always going to be favourites missing for someone.

From my perspective, I would rather keep the memories intact than be disappointed because they haven't stood the test of time well. If I wanted to play PS1 games, I would still have a PS1 or at the very least a PSNow subscription. I don't have enough time to play all my new games either so I am not going to go back and replay old games - I don't play on the old consoles I still own.

Each to their own of course and it may well be great for those more nostalgic than me, retro gamers and those that may have missed out on these for whatever reason. However for me, I am more interested in the 'here and now' and the future games coming - all of these will take up more time than I have for gaming anyway without revisiting old, even if they are classic, games.

A pessimist is just an optimist with experience!

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??

Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...

@Tasuki i think SotN isn't on there because of the recent PS4 version that was just released although they got Metal Gear Solid which was a surprise for me, i wasn't expecting that with the way Konami is at the moment

One issue is that there are better examples of 80% of those games. Also, not a shmup in sight for the Western lineup and add to that there isn't enough there that absolutely screams 'PlayStation' for me.

I really want to know what's inside the case though now. All may not be lost.

@FullbringIchigo There's so many missing though Tomb Raider,.Gran Turismo, Crash etc. Even the fact that they have Twisted Metal and not Twisted Metal 2 is a head scratcher.

@Tasuki with Tomb Raider and Crash i would expect it's a licence issue but as for 1st party games there isn't any real reason why unless of course they couldn't get them to work, they are emulated after all we know that Sony have had a spotty past with that

FullbringIchigo

@Octane yeah but 2 separate licences, it's not like if you get the licence to one Square game you get them all, same as Metal Gear and Castlevania BOTH Konami but getting one wont get you the other

Maybe I am missing something but who considered Mr. Driller as PS Classic I honestly have never heard of it till now.

I'm familiar with the franchise. I've never played it though, and I don't know how popular it was on the PS1. I know there was one for the GameBoy.

Cancelled my pre-order for this last night. Too much filler not enough killer.
I would still buy one at a later date but £90 is not good value.

Bizarrely I actually still have a PS1 copy of Mr Driller. Its quite a fun game in short doses but there are far better games they could have chosen.

@Milky_Bandit Yea, I'm not pre-ordering either. I've decided to just wait for the game I never owned to be re-released one way or another.

Yesterday I read a commenter who acted like Chrono Cross was coming to the PS Classic. And I was like "Wow, did I miss that? Might still need to buy the console!" Obviously, Cross is not coming, but I think it's telling that one such a game completely turned my opinion on the system around. Even though there is a lot on there that I find cool (from GTA nostalgia to finally finishing FFVII) it's just lacking a system seller of some kind for me.

Like Suikoden 2, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 or Vagrant Story. Or just the above mentioned Chrono Cross.
