I know they're supposedly popular, but who the fuck actually buys these fucking things?

People who think setting up an emulator and grabbing some ROMs from the Internet is difficult. So basically, retards.

I wonder how easy it'll be to hack it. also official PS1 style USB controllers will now exist.

>controller has no analog stick

Well we can conclude Ape Escape isn't one of the other games.

>AC adapter sold separately

>>15472158

Wow, another nostalgia/hipster bait, how about a PS2 Classic with those untranslated and rare fucking games to be played? Oh great, you get to play on a FLAT controller.

>>15472171

if its anything like the nes/snes you can just plug the USB into your TV for power

At least tell me this piece of shit can actually play ps1 games.

>>15472187

I meant disks.

>>15472187

>>15472190

lol, no. The eject button switches games according to their video.

>>15472187

>>15472190

no but I'm looking forward to it being cracked wide open like the snes/nes mini's

>>15472168

Who cares? The dualshock was barely even usable until the PS2.

This is redundant to products Sony already has on PSN. It is already possible to get those games on PSN, if you are inclined to pay for them. You can buy only the titles you want and play them with dual shock. Even if you get all 20 on PSN, it will likely be cheaper than this thing.

Sony is going to remove these games from the psn store or raise the prices, aren't they?

Call me when they make a Saturn, N64, and Xbox mini since emulation for those range from shit to practically non existent. Pretty unfortunate to see this poor showing after the attempted ROME shoah. Thinking about getting a replacement Dreamcast model that can actually play pirated games unlike mine's but might not say no to a DC mini with a good game selection. For now I'm keeping my eye on the new Sega controllers.

>>15472158

At least many of the comments are negative. Although you can still find people hyped about it.

>the PlayStation one controllers never had analog stick they were introduced with the ps2 controller

>>15472158

>Another emulation box.

Is this why the PS4 has no PS1 capabilities?

>>15472167

You wan mirrion dorrar?

>>15472201

As much as I'd love to play Panzer Dragoon Orta without the screen spazzing out on me and without paying way too much for it, Xboxes are so easy to mod that it's not even funny.

>>15472204

Guess that's true, though I'm not much of a mod guy partly for the reasons you mentioned. Allegedly Saturn emulation has gotten better recently, but I haven't gotten around to using "Kronos" yet. There aren't many issues using an ever drive on an N64 is there? I'd figure getting one with the console itself would be around the same price of a hypothetical N64 mini. (And I think I'd only a buy a mini second hand anyway because of Nintendo's recent antics)

>>15472163

Normalfags? The attach rate of consoles is less than 20 games by the way.

>>15472201

Drop a number and I'll give you a call.

>>15472181

At least it doesn't have that ugly rounded design.

So Sony Does What Nintendo Does but worst.

>>15472181

The PSOne was my first playstation and I assumed all PS1s looked like that until years later. I also thought all the controllers were dualshock.

>>15472163

I bougth a SNES mini and packed it with almost 200 extra ROMs, so I can see the appeal in these things.

If the PSmini can be hacked too, I'm buying one.

>>15472237

worse*

>>15472238

I don't think they even made the classic controllers after DualShock was introduced.

>>15472243

Would be interesting to see what emulator it's using if it's hacked. Probably a FOSS one.

>>15472199

Disagree, the PS move was unparalleled as a disaster

It was so bad people memoryholed it

Finally a console for Manly Tears.

>>15472158

>Ridgeracer with a Dpad

Namco made the NeGcon for that very reason, they should have gone with the Dualshock.

>>15472243

No one tell him you can play PS1 games on a hacked SNES Mini.

>>15472227

What a shit fucking ending that was, David Lynch and Mark Frost should have fucking died before they made the Return.

>>15472303

But you just did.

>>15472247

They don't need to steal, POPS already works well enough for their purposes. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to just be a dressed-up PSTV.

>>15472158

> Wont have Omega Boost

> Tenchu 1/2, MGS1 unlikely

> Will have gay Nu-Sony OS

> NO CD AUDIO SUPPORT

> Will probably shove the Chrono Trigger port in our faces again

I'm not buying this, fuck off Sony.

>>15472163

Haven't bought one yet, but they do seem easy and comfy. I'll get one when they do the N64. Will mod the shit out of it to.

>>15472158

Thread theme.

>>15472158

Interested in seeing the actual hardware powering this and potential modding capabilities. Little else.

>>15472361

I wonder if it's the difficulty in emulating their own titles versus the cost of hardware that has delayed an N64 classic.

>>15472374

Looking at the nes and snes they have let the fam do the emulator work. Since n64 has been difficult they been putting it off.

>>15472325

The ending was exactly as intended. Creativity is dead, what isn't a sequel or adaptation is some 'remember the 80's? i 'member' style memeshit.

Lynch sat you through 18 hours of his thesis statement on "life changes and things move on, why the fuck are so desperate to live 25 years in the past you sad sack of shit?" and on some level everyone got it and many were offended and then went back to their arrested development revivals for the warm blanket of ignorance.

Its all about the memes Jack.

>>15472168

Because it would compete with their overpriced "real" controllers.

>>15472399

black lodge was all Mark Frost. Lynch was in charge of direction, leading the actors and writing dialogue. The magic shit was all Frost who wanted season 3 pre cancellation to reveal corn was the route of all evil in reference to that fungus that makes people into sjws hence the creamed corn shit and cooper would have driven his car backwards in a corn field to go back in time and save laura palmer.

>>15472379

Reminds me when they released the Classic NES series on GBA and it turned out some of the titles were found to be using PocketNES code.

So, basically, if any one wants a N64 Classic, someone needs to perfect emulation on a sub-$30 SoC.

>>15472398

This is quite possibly the least pretentious version of "you just don't get it," I've seen yet, and I still want you to fuck off.

>>15472407

>in reference to that fungus that makes people into sjws

I think I know what you're talking about, and you completely missed the fucking point of that meme. It's not that the fungus turns them into SJWs, it's that their hair gets compared to the fungus because like the fungus it looks like warning colors.

>>15472412

its not 'you dont get it' its 'you get it, but thats what lynch wanted you to feel because this wasnt' a joyful exercise for him'.

>>15472416

If it wasn't a joyful exercise for him, why did he even pitch the fucking return? No one approached him, he went to the networks looking for the money. No one wanted to give him the money per episode he wanted, until he struck a deal with HBO to double the number of episodes.

>>15472422

because all the tv revivals had him platinum buttmad and he wanted to rant.

>>15472158

>OG PS1 USB controllers

I'm tempted. I hope they sell them seperately.

>99,99$/99,99€

Are they fucking serious? 100$ is 85€ thats 15$ more than what burgers have to pay.

>>15472168

I didn't have a DualShock until PS2 and never had any issues. 99% of PS1s library is meant to be played with dpad.

>>15472428

EU taxes, nigga

>not even dualshock

lmao

>>15472201

>Call me when they make a Saturn, N64, and Xbox mini since emulation for those range from shit to practically non existent.

I think the point is to stick an emulator with low performance requirements on a shit ARM smartphone chip and sell it with huge margins. Writing an original emulator for a hard to emulate platform wouldn't bring in the shekels.

Here's hoping for The Evil Dead.

I thought the game was great!

>>15472168

How long until some drone/shill out there tries to say "it's the authentic launch model Playstation experience" as justification? Assuming they haven't started already.

>>15472201

Saturn on Retroarch seems okay, at least from the games I tried to run (all the Sanic games, Nights). I can now actually play the fan-translated Saturn version of Policenauts.

>>15472181

That's exactly what I thought. And why the fuck are they making such a "I wish I was as cool as Nintendo" move when they could have just released a full-sized console, but with the internals ripped out and a raspberry pi and a SSD installed. Keep the controller port original it might cost a few bucks extra on manufacturing - oh fucking no, says the kikes who put gyro and touch pads and speakers and a 3hr battery on their current gen console controller so you can hook up what you want - including classic peripherals, and then give it wifi and a front-end so you could buy Playstation Classics.

And then do something with that goddamned Connectix emulator you bought and make the games cross-buy on the PS4 with "improved" visuals. But nope.

We want to be Nintendo. Assholes.

Who wants to bet the only reason why they're shipping it with the PSX controller instead of a DS is so that they can sell you an expansion later for DS supported games, and a brand new $60 USB DS controller to go with it.

>>15472458

>Was that the controller that twisted in the middle? I always thought that was a weird design.

Looking it up, apparently the whole reason for its existence was to be an early form of analogue controller. It's an interesting innovation, though, and seemed to control better than actual thumbsticks.

>>15472458

>Have they ever come up with something of their own without Nintendo blazing a trail first?

They invented dual analog stick controllers which became standard and they were the first to make miniature versions of their consoles. See: PSOne, PS2 slim. I just hope they don't copy Nintendos hate boner for romsites. I only got like 10 good romsites left.

>>15472478

Except they have a point. Every single game on the PSX can be played on the D-Pad and it wasn't until the PS2 that it became a regular feature. Most games on the PSX didn't really make use of the analog sticks so it's a pointless feature.

>>15472499

>That you can get easily for free anywhere.

Fifth generation and above console emulation is utter dog shit and you're better off playing it on original hardware.

You can get a real psx thats hacked for around 50$ on sites like ebay.

>>15472491

> Sony put TWO of something on a controller, that's original

Sony also doubled the number of shoulder buttons, that doesn't make them innovators.

Also, Nintendo released updated versions of the NES too with a smaller design that is more reliable and cheaper to manufacture.

>>15472498

> Every single game on the PSX can be played

Not Ape Escape, considered one of the best first-party games Sony ever made.

And many games were made with the DualShock in mind, including racing games. If Gran Turismo is on this piece of shit I hope you really enjoy the "authentic" experience of driving a car with a digital thumb pad. Even MGS used the vibration feature (which wasn't even in the original Dual Analogue design) for its "move the controller' fourth wall break.

>>15472498

Can doesn't should.

>>15472491

I need some Rom sites.

Pretty much all systems games.

Want to hack my NES classic, SNES classic, new 2DS XL and day one switch.

Fuck paying for online, fuck full priced decades old game ports.

K.to.the.M@outlook.com

>>15472387

Doubtful. Normalfags and/or nostalgia faggots are the likely the intended base, and it's mainstream shit that's apt to sell it to them, not hard to find stuff that could actually use a rerelease, especially stuff that never got cleared even for the PSN.

>>15472499

I'm honestly surprised Sony considers Wild Arms "legendary", after having relegated it to the mobile reboot shitheap a year or two back, like it has no worth being on their systems anymore. Granted, I really fucking like that series (not enough to buy this though, especially when I still have my own copies), but it just seems an odd choice of words for what the media used to consider "filler" between bigger budget releases. Betting it'll only include the first game though and not the second (which definitely won't be in if it's meant to see a PAL release).

I hope this doesn't fag up the fanbase worse than it is. Bad enough people have spent decades arguing that Brad is a fag (to the point the devs had to respond that he's not) and whether he provides good representation.

>>15472508

There's also burning and loading for modded systems as options to use such files with.

>>15472491

Tbf, Sony stopped giving a shit about emulation and romsites years ago, mostly because they are more focused on current projects of theirs instead of 20 year old projects they'll probably never revisit.

>>15472498

>What is Parasite Eve?

>What is Ape Escape?

>>15472508

PSX emulation is literally the best of all 5th gen consoles (which admittedly have pretty shit emulation like the Saturn and the N64) which at this point has been worked at since 1999 by the likes of the Bleem! people. There's very, very few games that don't work or have problems with PSX emulators and that's not to mention emulating the PSX on the PSP. Stop talking out of your ass.

>>15472531

Used to be that PS2 games being rereleased on the PS4 would see their originals removed from EP the last couple years, but that might have been more preemptive "please don't sue us" removal than Sony having actually gotten on their case.

>>15472498

Nearly every platformer is a pain in the ass to play. Oh wait Crash and Spyro already got remakes so you just have to buy those if you want a proper controller.

>>15472508

>>15472499

Three acquaintances I have said they're buying it already. They have also bought NES mini and SNES mini. When I say about emulation, they just say they don't want to. They want to play it on the couch on the TV. All the advantages of emulation, and even playing on the telly with a HDMI cable, nope. Won't do.

These people are consumers. Consumers to the tee. There is no logic, there is just buying stuff.

>>15472515

Chipmodded, not hacked.

>>15472516

>Sony also doubled the number of shoulder buttons, that doesn't make them innovators.

That didn't stop everyone else to copy them. I mean, show me one modern controller that doesn't have 2 analog sticks and 4 shoulder buttons. Not that I think there's anything wrong copying a good concept.

>>15472526

>>>/vr/ there's links to fullsets.

>>15472181

I own an imported japanese model of the PSone, since you can actually swap the original AC adapter to its european counterpart, rather than relying on a voltage converter. Same for the PS2 Slim model (the PCH-70k one)

>>15472543

Normalfags think hooking a PC up to a TV is rocket science. It's hilarious.

>>15472543

I have a friend that understands that emulation itself is not illegal, and certainly doesn't chew me out about downloading stuff, but he himself has refused to, nor does he take me up on offers to mod his PS3 or Wii. He at least doesn't have interest in emuboxes like this, or the NES or SNES ones, but limits himself to just what he can find physically, or has a digital rerelease he can drop money on. And the Wii store being shut down actually hit him fucking hard. Point being, to the normalfag/pseudo-normalfag, emulation and piracy are still considered iffy compared to anything they can access via official, paid means.

>>15472158

Is this actually an official Sony product?

>>15472551

No it's not. When SNES mini was announced the hate here was massive.

>>15472551

The entire board shit on nintendo for both the NES and SNES classic.

The best part was the stories of anons selling off NES classics for bloated ebay prices to hipsters.

>>15472544

> I mean, show me one modern controller that doesn't have 2 analog sticks and 4 shoulder buttons

Steam controller? It uses touchpads, for better or worse, which can emulate an analogue stick, on top of having an actual analogue stick, and it has two shoulder buttons, two analogue triggers, and two paddles, for a total of six rear buttons.

All Sony did was double something that already existed, and even fucked that up by not having a vibration function. Twice. Remember the SIXAXIS "we can't have motion controls and vibration at the same time because our motion controls are soooo sensitive" bullshit, and then as soon as the rumble lawsuit was settled the DualShock 3 was announced?

> Not that I think there's anything wrong copying a good concept.

There isn't, but Sony never innovated, they just marketed well, and their "gaming is cool now" shit they pulled in the PS1 era is what attracted the normalfags in the first place.

>>15472551

If you can find someone that defends Nintendo selling these fucking things I will award you one gold star. Just because we're shitting on Sony being unoriginal fucks doesn't mean it's OK that Nintendo did it first.

>>15472555

Absolutely. You can tell it's authentic Sony product because they've already fucked up. Twice.

No DualShock.

No A/C cable.

>>15472529

Also I'm a bit surprised that Square cleared FFVII to be put on it. I mean, that game's arguably obligatory, but with the upcoming episodic garbage remake, I'd have thought they'd rather limit people's access to the original in order to get the nuVII to sell more.

>>15472573

How much do you want to bet it's going to be like the shitty PC/PS4 ports with the music loop glitch and all the characters having soy mouths?

>>15472573

>Also I'm a bit surprised that Square cleared FFVII to be put on it

I was surprised too. And when it was announced that FFVII would be on Switch. My gut tells me SE knows they're gonna fuck it up so they want to make sure they can milk it as much as possible before their golden goose is turned to poison by association with the remake.

>>15472531

>Stop talking out of your ass.

He's still right that emulation of the fifth gen and above is still ass in large majority. Like you said, PS1 emulation is good, although I've only experienced with the POPS emulator (the official documented emulator from Sony). PS2 emu is a trashfire to the point I just went with an actual PS2 slim instead. Dolphin is okay, but it still gives various issues on nicher games that have yet to be fixed. I have no hope with the PS3 emulator (or newer emulators in general) because of the Patreon shit that give no incentive to developers to give positive results in a faster rate, but instead led them to leech on patreon golds.

>>15472578

I'd think it would be more how the originals of whatever games they opt to put on/shell out to third parties to license handled on the system itself, but who knows. Was the PS3-era PSN port glitchy or anything? Wouldn't surprise me if the thing just uses existing eboots (and thus only games that were already rereleased once).

>>15472579

>And when it was announced that FFVII would be on Switch.

You mean the remake or a port of the original?

>>15472168

>>15472170

>>15472171

>>15472174

>>15472173

>>15472478

(((Sony)))

>>15472589

I remember some audio hiccups on the PSN version but that may be more to do with how vita runs PS1 games. Vita plays PS1 games by emulating PSP which is emulating PS1, which always seemed kinda retarded.

>>15472608

Yeah, I personally still keep my PSP 3000 around for PS1 on the go.

>>15472580

Do you ever think that another game system from the 5th gen and beyond will at leas emulate decently? I know I can buy a PS2 or Xbox right now and mod it, but I'm just concerned about 20-30 years down the line when the parts start breaking down. It would be a real fucking shame if a large part of gaming history becomes irrecoverable and irreparable to the point of obsolescence.

>>15472628

*at least

I bet half of those 20 games will be absolute shit.

>>15472589

>You mean the remake or a port of the original?

The original. And IX and X and X-2 and World of and Crystal Chronicles and a new Chocobo Mystery Dungeon game!!

>>15472555

It seems so. I'm still disappointed at how SEGA fucked up and had some other company make their Mega Drive mini and even though it has a cartridge slot for games and like 80 pre-installed games on it, the built quality, emulation and wireless controllers were complete fucking trash, sadly.

>>15472628

That's ultimately the fate of all electronics, not just consoles. I'm not eager to replace my PC parts, especially the CPU/GPU and RAM, when newer hardware no longer support Win7. I know you can run Win7 by going through hoops but still.

Note that I have nothing against the principle of emulation itself, I just wish emu devs would stop sucking cocks in general as well as anons to stop acting like it's the perfect alternative in case of those particular systems (especially when said emulator still have to improve and fix shit)

>>15472531

>There's very, very few games that don't work or have problems with PSX emulators and that's not to mention emulating the PSX on the PSP. Stop talking out of your ass.

Bull fucking shit. I have had firsthand experience with fifth-gen emulators for years and I can safely say beyond the shadow of a doubt that they're all fucking garbage. They always give issues with runback speed, picture artifacting and graphical glitches, or analog input errors that just keep coming back. It's always at least one big thing that goes wrong after another that ruins the experience. The only one talking out of their ass is you, shithead.

Original hardware is easily the best way to go if you have it already, and people who think emulation is better are fucking retarded.

I just don't like the idea of playing R4 without an analog stick. Although I am also too poor to afford the weird controller Namco put out just for it.

>>15472628

>>15472629

>It would be a real fucking shame if a large part of gaming history becomes irrecoverable and irreparable to the point of obsolescence.

Wouldn't shock me if that's part of the idea. Obviously ability to continue to resell games from a past library (though only a handful of what was even worthwhile on a given system) is something these companies would like to keep doing (and with Sony, despite the PS4 being PS2 capable, it doesn't share the PS3's PS2 PSN offerings), but at the same time, there's the matter of control and perception: Are they really going to want to deal with more people over time that dabble in older generations asking why, outright visual and audio quality aside, older games feel like they have a higher quality to them than newer ones?

>>15472640

Might depend on what they can get cleared, but most likely it'll be either "obligatories" where the absence of such would be really noticeable if outright trash ate one of the slots, and games Sony themselves own that they wouldn't have to pay licensing/negotiate to use (such as it already being confirmed for Wild Arms). Overall these things tend to act like an overpriced sampler pack of popular stuff.

I will say though that I found it questionable though that the NES one had Castlevania II (the official release, not a fanhacked one to fix issues) over Castlevania III.

>>15472645

>Xenogears

Another I don't expect to see, assuming that they intend to also bring this thing to PAL. Even with the PSN, where there were games with serviceable English scripts that saw rerelease on ours, Yurop and friends were once again denied an official release, most likely because they didn't see it to begin with (setting up a NA PSN account and getting card codes being a workaround). And honestly, I think that's been a huge failing of the rerelease system, both for Sony and Nintendo. Could have made a prime opportunity to let PAL have a native release of Xenogears, Wild Arms 2, Chrono Cross, etc, and NA have Terranigma, but no.

Plus, with only allowing for twenty games, they might already have their "JRPG" allowance filled with just FFVII and WA.

>>15472659

Maybe to a degree. Will really depend on just what selection they wind up with, whether it has a cheap alternative available on the PSN. Though, there is also the factor that the PS4 does not have a PS1 Classics section, so that would limit it to those that still have a PS3/PSP/Vita for official eboots..

>>15472163

it could be a decent gift for kids i guess if you wanna try and steer them towards good vidyas instead of playing phone 'games' and having a fortnite coach

a better gift would be to teach the little fucker how to use bittorrent and use emulators, my friend's based neet uncle taught me all that stuff

>>15472681

It could perhaps give them an interest in older systems, but probably not that much of the library beyond what it winds up coming with. But that's assuming they're willing to play something from two decades back, perhaps before they were even born, to begin with though, and won't just whine about the graphics because they're used to everything being modern resolution at 1080p, or at least 720p.

>>15472662

>Bull fucking shit. I have had firsthand experience with fifth-gen emulators for years and I can safely say beyond the shadow of a doubt that they're all fucking garbage.

I fucking agree with you when it comes to shit like the Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast, but ywe've literally had good PSX emulation since it was still being fucking sold in stores. Just because you're too much of a shit for brains to properly set up Mednafen or the PSP PSX emulator doesn't mean PSX emulation is shit, you fucking bellend. I can literally play fucking Baroque and the PSX Wizardy (games that are extremely obscure and the developers of said emulators probably wouldn't use certain tricks to make them work) perfectly on Mednafen with very minimal hiccups if any. Don't try and pretend that PSX emulation is unironically shit just because you're to braindead to do the minimal setup required to use it. For other systems, yeah hardware is by far the better choice just due to the multiple problems that arise if you aren't playing a popular game from that system (It took me a while to fix a bunch of graphical glitches Ogre Battle 64 had where whole portions of the screen wouldn't appear on Mupen64Plus before I was able to eventually fix it). But, PSX emulation is the exception to that rule and even fucking Bleem! proved that back in 1999 to an extent, and that certainly was true when you could play PSX games on your PSP not even 10 years later.

>>15472158

>sony is riding nintendo's coattails once again

The entire idea of these things irk me since you can't encapsulate an entire console library with a handful of games like this. I just hope they fill it with games that go for hundreds from scalpers so the prices drop like a ton of bricks.

>>15472163

Last reports showed that the SNES Classic sold about 5.28 million units, probably more by now since those numbers are from March. So, plenty of people.

>>15472173

Jesus christ

>>15472741

You couldn't put monster rancher on it because it doesn't have a disk tray and i suspect it will be compatible with the DS4 as its already using standard USB stuff.

Honestly at a 100 money price point id rather just buy a couple of pre modded PSX's, I really dont see the point of this.

>>15472720

Fine, I'll take your word for it. Still recall having lots of problems particularly when I wanted to play Spyro or Megaman Legends. Games either ran too fast to be playable or just wouldn't display properly.

>>15472751

>Of course not. That's for the NEXT version :^)

Id actually be totally ok with them reproducing actual PSX's rather than these glorified emulators. Id love to see old consoles get some essentially re prints.

>>15472747

>I really dont see the point of this.

Same reason so many games get an "HD" remake, idiots will buy the same thing multiple times if you put a new bow on it. You can even strip shit out and they will still buy it.

>>15472756

I agree, especially if it means I don't have to bullshit with memory cards.

>>15472777

Don't buy sealed games. Not that Rule of Rose doesnt still go for infinity money but still, there is no reason to buy factory sealed games if you intend to play them.

Reminds me that at one point the games were removed from the Vita's whitelisted PS1 library, and no one even bothered to put them back on. Apparently some people contacted Activision about it, because Activision owns the series now and Spyro and Crash on a handheld with two sticks is a nice idea, thinking the licensing had run out (ala DKC on the Wii's VC for a number of years), and they apparently said they'd had nothing to do with it and didn't know why it had been removed either.

>>15472777

You want to see something weird, compare the average prices between NA and PAL for Blood Will Tell on the PS2. I don't know if Europe simply got a bigger print, or a subpar conversion, or only burgers care about Dororo, but the price difference is bizarre.

Checked.

>>15472787

Seconding this notion. Unless it's a game that just came out, or a reprint that's cheaper than preowned copies are at a given time, there's little point to buying sealed when a complete copy can suffice at a much lower value.

>>15472158

Wasn't the PSTV all this and more?

>>15472173

Oh, my God.

>>15472227

I liked what Lynch was doing with the story but he made it too depressing and the charm from the first two seasons was all but gone.

>>15472791

I get the feeling that they made sure to get Final Fantasy VII first and foremost both because of the remake and the numerous jokes at their expense over Cloud getting into Smash over PSASRB.

I'm interested in what's getting included. They could include Final Fantasies VII, VIII and IX, Crash 1-3 and Spyro 1-3, but that's half the slots on three series. On the other hand, a decent chunk of fans will be let down if they only include one game per series, as it would be the first one in all cases.

>>15472458

>Was that the controller that twisted in the middle?

Yes and it was the best controller to use with wipeout, I wish they would make a second version but with the mission buttons readded and USB.

>>15472816

I don't think crash or spyro will make an appearance because they might take away from the remakes. I think crash bash or CTR could be seen.

>>15472824

Would that not be seen as a slap in the face to normalfag fans? That'd be kinda like putting Final Fantasy Tactics on it instead of one of the mainline games.

And hey, I fucking love CTR.

>>15472818

Well obviously Japanese copies are going to be fairly cheap on western markets, by simple virtue of limited audience here. More-so if they require moon knowledge to enjoy, and more-so beyond that if the game, or at least same version, actually had a native English release. But I'm talking why is BWT averaging $150 complete in the states, yet only slightly under $60 worth in PAL (which is admittedly above the $45 or so it was a month or two back)?

On that note, when exactly did CERO rating come into effect? For a second I was confused not seeing the square on the covers for II and III, and thought they were western until I remembered they had a same-case bundled release here.

Nice to see someone with that much of a fondness for a particular series. Got a few myself I'm happy to still have all the main games for.

>>15472824

Would probably be up to Activision. I know they're not the developers, but I would assume they have final say.

>>15472816

20 is honestly pretty limiting, considering how many entries of various series, even ones debuting on the PS1, saw just on the system. Though unlike Nintendo, Sega, or Atari for that matter, there's some more actual concerns to be had with the filesize issue per game. With the NES and SNES, looking at things from a memory standpoint, a modern SD card or something can fit a LOT more than thirty games on it when the maximum file size of any individual one is going to be 6MB or lower (at least, that's what the largest SFC rom I have sits at). That leaves the actual issues there more likely the amount total they felt they could ask for however many games. Switching to one of these for a disc format system though, you start seeing minimum sizes jump to a upwards of 100 mb each, and the largest, multi disc games at over 1GB each. At the same time though, storage sizes and costs aren't as restrictive as they used to be, so there's still that as well.

Sony, as always, copying Nintendo.

Fucking soy pozzed faggots.

>>15472163

old people as gifts

I never got rid of my ps1, ps2, ps3 or games.

>>15472842

CERO was founded in mid-2002, a bit later after the PS2 release. Growlanser II & III are also blue-colored CDroms back when the DVDs werent completely as common and cheap as they end up becoming years later.

I recall reading a biography in japanese of Toshihiro Nagoshi (the creator of Ryu ga Gotoku) stating that CERO was a pain the ass to deal with when he first started the serie on the PS2, and had to beg a goddamn lot in order for the serie to not get censored for being "too violent".

So SONY is taking a page from the snes handbook and reselling classics? Theyll make a killing.

Can so eone explain to me what normalfags find so abhorrent about pirating a decades old rom or ISO?

Fuck man 20 year old console and games at full price lol.

>>15472551

Where did this meme that /v/ loves Nintendo come from? If anything there are times when /v/ hates on Nintendo so hard, cuckchaners whine we hate everything they make.

is this a joke?

>>15472900

Most people are aware of emulation but find it to be this impossible hassle.

I wanted to play some Mario Party with an Xboxfag, and I live overseas. It's a nightmare scenario to him, just because of how used he is to one-click installs.

Yes, typing in a name of an emulator, downloading it, typing in a name of a rom, downloading that, and configuring controls, that is so much work for some people, even when you give them instructions. Had to fucking Teamviewer it for the faggot.

sad thing is that he's actually really good at vidya, he just lacks basic common sense like most normalfags

>>15472196

how deep has one to be up in the ass of a corporation to make a comment like this?

>>15472828

I could see them maybe limiting them to two entries each, like Spyro 1 and 2, and Crash 2 and 3. CTR though could fit a niche for racing, but again, that would be three games devoted to a single franchise on there.

>>15472866

I honestly haven't understood why the PS4 can't handle PS1, be it physically or from the store. It's just been baffling. PS2 and PS3 both had physical compatibility, and the PSP and Vita made do with ISOs converted to eboots, and thus were digitally compatible. Yet the current gen (or going by what Sony's claimed, soon to be past gen) one can't? This being announced makes me wonder if that was the intent in not doing so. Though, if so, they sure took their fucking time to figure it out enough to announce it. And even then, it's not like it's going to have remotely everything worth playing. Even the PSN was lacking (PAL more than NA) but it at least had more than twenty titles.

>>15472884

I thought that series was sprite based. Just how violent would they be to trigger a CERO bump? I mean, is it just Ys I and II style "explodes into quickly fading gibs"? Or are there some gory CGs of deaths or something?

>Growlanser II & III are also blue-colored CDroms back when the DVDs werent completely as common and cheap as they end up becoming years later.

Yeah, it's kind of funny how the PS2 actually had to run three types of media, all for the same library (CDR, DVD-5, and DVD-9).

>>15472900

Because of the iffy legality? Emulation itself as a concept, and the programs themselves, are legal. It's the playing games you don't own part that is considered to not be. Granted, it's more likely that the host of rips gets slammed for DMCA and/or court dates than regular downloaders (I don't think we've gotten that far yet in regards to pirated vidya), but for some it's not a risk they want to take. So they wind up paying aftermarket prices ranging from cheap to astronomical, and/or limit themselves to what is made available cheaper, even if not of the profits in either case go to the devs anymore.

>>15472901

You don't remember the bigass "thank you" card sent to NoA a number of years back? I'm just saying. Boy was that stupid in retrospect, and I'm glad I didn't take part.

>>15472554

I used to be like that not too long ago and i viewed piracy as heresy because i love to own my vidya boxes and collect them but then i started to see how shitty the industry was becoming.

I had to go back and the lack of retro game store my disgust of current aaa devs and the number of hidden jap gems i could never play breaked the switch for me.

>>15472458

>Have they ever come up with something of their own without Nintendo blazing a trail first

Sony was the first and for a long time only company to have a controller with two analog sticks. Still the only company (not counting third parties) to get the stick placement correct. That stupid assymetric design might make one of the sticks ever so slightly more comfortable for some people, but it makes the DPad almost unusable in trade, which is also why xbox cheeps out so hard on their DPad because they don't design the thing to actually be used.

>>15472924

I still like having actual copies of games I enjoy, but that's assuming they're feasible to get. I have no qualm running systems both with legit and downloaded games via emulation or loaders. If I can get something at a cheap price, great. If not, I don't feel like it's a case of having to shell out an assload or never play it (and lets face it, something like .hack is not worth $200+ from the gameplay enjoyment end). Also debugged games, games with translation patches we never saw released here (and fuck paying $50 each for bootlegged repro carts that most likely have an "if you paid for this your a retard" screen from the patch makers), and rectified translations for some really egregiously shitty releases we got. And to be fair, I actually have been surprisingly lucky with local stores over the last few years, so I'm not paying stupid amounts, though it's a slow process to go out of the way to avoid such (patience is a virtue that has paid off for me).

>>15472926

>Not a fat with an expansion bay to load games from.

>>15472200

A mini original Xbox would be interesting considering how huge that console and it's controllers were.

>>15472163

>>15472163

Mostly normalfags, and I don't mean that in a derogatory way, most people who had a ps1 kid/teenager haven't played ps1 games since that age so they will sell like hot cakes

>>15472981

>I don't mean that in a derogatory way

>>>/reddit/

>>>/cuckchan/

>>15472971

Honestly, only the Xbox mini could redeem it's possible price due to the fact that Xbox emulation is pretty shit, unlike SNES, NES, and PSX emulation, which have literally been fine for at least 15 years now and bordering on perfect now. I'd just wonder they'd make one large emulation project or make one emulator for each game. Hopefully, if the former happens, we would actually have a possibility of fixing the Xbox emulation problem

>>15473003

The PS4 can handle PS1, sony are just dicks and don't let you/sell it.

>>15473070

You can emulate them poorly

When are they going to confirm it's just an emulator that's less accurate than whatever PSX core runs on the $5 sjw pi?

>>15472196

How? They're pretty much exactly the same to me, besides the Dualshock 2 having thinner plastic (maybe that's just the transparent ones though) and a slightly softer dpad which could just be mine.

>>15472498

They would if that was actually the point they were trying to make. They're just saying muh authenticity like that other anon said. Personally I use the d-pad most of the time anyway even if I'm using a Dualshock. The reason it's retarded is the games that don't support it and the fact that it has that gay looking proprietary connector so you can't use your own original Dualshock with it. My guess is that they're going to make them but sell them separately for $60.

>>15472901

(((mark))) doesn't help

>>15473070

>he hasn't softmodded his ps2

>>15473094

>How? They're pretty much exactly the same to me

He might be referring to the fact that barely any PS1 games used the analog inputs or vibration. Since developers could only assume players had a basic controller, they had to develop for that basic controller. If they included analog functions at all they were extra. There were of course some exceptions to the rule, but only an extreme minority.

>>15472163

"Collector" faggots but the everloving fuck out of them so they can sell them later at a markup.

>>15473070

Yeah but you still posted a PS2. Fats are physically backwards compatible like the slims are, they just have the expansion bay that allows for added utility.

>>15472158

What is the PSP?.

>>15473089

That still doesn't explain why they don't let it take advantage of the ability to.

So that's why all these companies are cracking down on emulation, cause ylthey want to release their own $100 piece of plastic

>>15473113

This isn't the Sega Saturn or Dreamcast or even the PS2 or Xbox. PSX emulation has been practically locked down for the better part of the last decade, two if you count Bleem!

>>15472158

>>15472741

>Featuring Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Wild Arms and 17 other legendary titles

It seems a little concerning that they haven't revealed the other 17 "legendary" titles. Even Nintendo announced the 30 NES and the 20+1 (Starfox 2) for the SNES mini's from the get go.

>>15473186

Again, they're most likely ironing out licensing agreements with Activision for Crash and Spyro. Those two are the biggest games that are at risk of not being here.

>>15473185

Reading this back "locked down "is a really shitty phrase. I meant pretty much handled to the best of our ability aptly for almost 2 decades now. That being said PSX emulation is basically as good as the original, granted you aren't using a shit emulator or playing on a shitty laptop/computer, unlike everything else I mentioned where hardware really is just superior at this point.

only 20 games? a hundred dollars? You can buy and mod an actual PSX for half that price

>100 dollarydoos for something you can do on your phone

>>15472201

well, N64 emulation works fine for the most part. i've had zero issues using Project64, and there're other emulators as well that work fine.

no idea about the other two, tho.

>We are at a point where companies will exclusively attack ROM sites just so they can overcharge on their own old games to make money

Whichever redditors bankrolled this trend need to be executed.

>>15473272

>no idea about the other two, tho.

Both the Saturn and Dreamcast have emulators with full or near full compatibility, the issue is they are really shit to use for a variety of reason..

>>15472387

There's something really disturbing about his face.

>>15472158

I might get one. Depends on what games are included, they only mention five of the twenty titles. Obviously Gran Turismo is out, since they don't include analog controllers, but I still have a Dualshock or two in a box somewhere.

>>15472173

It uses a USB port to provide power. Everyone has like 15 phone charging devices laying around.

>>15472544

Thank you

>>15473410

>Obviously Gran Turismo is out, since they don't include analog controllers

Gran Turismo handled better with the analog sticks but it didn't require them to play it (you could still use the d-pad for steering). Besides, even if it came with analog controllers, Gran Turismo still wouldn't be included due to the car and music licenses.

>>15473488

Sure, you can "play" GT with the d-pad and face buttons. I'd love to see you get golds on all the license exams with it, though.

>>15473525

I'm pretty sure an extension cord is cheaper than this shit.

>>15473533

most living rooms have their own electrical outlets

>>15473525

You could still choose from plenty of older consoles and sbpc's like the raspberry pi instead. The latest versions of the former can emulate PS1 perfectly fine. You could even get a used prebuilt toaster for cheap and use it for the lan vidya streaming meme.

>>15473541

I'm talking about for HDMI out or what have you.

>>15473453

I used to feel indifferent about FFVII. I tried playing it, thought it had a slow start and was pretty over rated. But them adding Cloud to Smash and making him an overpowered piece of shit with all these moves that you can't really punish and giving him fuck huge hitboxes really makes me hate is fucking guts.

What a shit all over Nintendo. Sony enters the console market and fucks up Nintendo. Then one of the big games that fucked up Nintendo 64 has their main rep show up in a Nintendo game and then fuck up all the other characters by being more powerful than Nintendo.

>>15472196

The original dual shock is still my prefered controller for emulatan'. Its significantly sturdier than all following iterations, with better, less mushy thumbsticks.

>>15473173

>A couple of good games and the rest are either absolute shit or mediocre ports

Doofus :^)

>>15473611

I think if cracked, you can also puts almost any PS1 game on there, not to mention all those PSP games. The bigger issue is storage space since the PSTV still uses the expensive Sony exclusive shit.

>>15473619

Yeah, that is the big drawback. But for around the price of this PS Classic, I'm sure you can get even more storage.

>>15473374

Battle angle alita people worked on his face

>>15473453

why do you want to delete the best FF?

>>15473629

Depends how big all the 20 games are and if Sony wants to sell you more later. I'm sure it's roughly like a 32GB NAND memory size for the games and potential suspend points and the tiny memory card files. FF7 alone's like 1.5GB and depending on the other classics could take other 1 GBs apiece for the 2-disc titles.

>>15472787

I was fucking lucky to even find Rule of Rose for $5 at a garage sale.

>>15472491

Actually Sega was the first, see the Sega Genesis 3, and the Sega Nomad

>>15473619

The PSTV has access to sd2vita and usb storage. The drawback is that some vita games aren't really playable without a touchpad.

>you can also puts almost any PS1 game on there

It's pretty close to 100%. Every game I've used has worked either natively or with retroarch.

>>15472659

Funny thing is PS1 is still pretty cheap to collect for even with the big franchises going up in price. IE, Crash and Spyro. I got the Syphon Filter trilogy for like $15, the whole Ridge Racer PS1 series for like $20 and Tomb Raider series for $30. This is going to be awesome if it gets cheaper.

>>15472158

Well that is just fucking great. Now we will have Sony going after the remaining rom sites.

>>15472168

>>15472401

Pretty much this. Why pay 60$ for a touchpad if you can get all the controller you want or need much cheaper.

>>15472158

>Cuckchan /v/ circle jerking over Sony originality

>>15472163

People who think it'll be equivalent to the original hardware and not just a 1$ computer with a purpose-built OS. Fuck's sake, with the NES/SNES mini they could have just bought a retroclone 2-in-1 and some bootleg multicarts.

>>15472681

He drives up the prices on games and tells his paterons what he's going to spotlight early so they can get in on the action.

Shit, as expected.

I'm wondering, though: watching the video it seems that the system will have a removable door in the back, where the parallel I/O sits. What could be behind? Most likely two additional USB ports for more controllers?

If so, that means it will have at least one 4-player game - could be CTR, Crash Bash, Speed Punks/Freaks…

I know they'd like to resell games again, that's why I'm baffled that the PS4 hasn't offered any "PS1 Classic" on its store compared to the PS3, PSP, and Vita. Not just inability to play PS1 discs. Was it the intent to start selling these limited game emuboxes instead from the start?

>>15473173

I was quoting from the comments section of the article, faggot.

>>15475027

I have no fucking idea. Sony probably did it to cut corners on the production line and re-sell remastered editions of games. Microsoft was at least intelligent enough to physically build Xbox original/360 comparability into the system. Even putting that aside, the PS3 had PS1 disc compatibility added via software update, so I have no idea why Sony has refused to budge on that. I highly doubt they had it in mind to sell these boxes from the get-go, because the PS4 has had so many different people in charge of it that have radically shifted the direction of the system.

Silent Hill's another one.

>Final Fantasy 7

>Metal Gear Solid

>Spyro

>Crash Bandicoot

>Resident Evil

>Symphony of the Night

>Tony Hawk 2

>Tekken 3

>Silent Hill

And Gran oh wait

Those are all guaranteed system sellers.

>100 bucks

>only 20 games

judaism intensifies

The thing about the PlayStation is that, unlike Nintendo, many of its beloved franchises are not sony's, so it's going to be difficult to get all the classic on this thing.

>Crash Bandicoot

Not a sony ip

The PS1 mascot, so ALL Crash titles should have been on this thing, and i am sure sony will manage to get only one of them AT BEST.

>Metal Gear Solid

Not a sony ip

>Tomb Raider

Not a sony ip

>Resident Evil

not a sony ip

>Tekken

not a sony ip, but Tekken 3 is already confirmed, so…

>Silent Hill

not a sony ip

>Driver

not a sony ip

>GTA

Not a sony ip

This only leaves stuff like MediEvil, Gran Turismo, Syphon Filter, WipeOut and what else? Cool Boarders?

The only itles that could get in without any effort by sony, but regardless the lineup is going to be lacking and disappointing for a console like the PS1

>>15477626

I get the vibe they're aware of their own issues with IPs, considering they've already got FFVII and Tekken 3, with Wild Arms being a game from a series they themselves own (even if they don't develop it). Overall though, Sony's issues with their IPs isn't so much whether they own much or not, it's that they have a tendency to drop shit they do own within a generation, if not merely a game or two. Some series do wind up somewhat luckier, and admittedly milking shit isn't always a good thing, but for many of their franchises (or just independent games), they never bothered to keep them too relevant. Probably part of why with PSA they went to current gen multiplat characters, though it's still retarded to go there that fast when they still had valid characters and series to use whose only issues would be that they're "literally who?" tier to the average gamer because, again, not keeping their game relevant over time.

But yes, to try to have a smattering of games that cover best selling, popular stuff, they're apt to have to pay out licensing fees to get the ability to use them, because the PS1 was known for its third party support (compared with the N64 as a competing system). And that's likely to also effect the roster as far as how much they're willing to pay. And knowing them, they'll find some way to blow it, the way PSA's roster blew it.

>silent rob

fuck this takes me back

>>15477795

Isn't your pic related a piece of shit?

>>15477795

>the bootleg-looking cartridge is just crudely photoshopped onto the slot

>>15477626

I would assume a game like parasite eve is a lost cause then, because if I remember correctly square soft technically didn't own the series but was given temporary rights to make the games. So sony would have to go to square enix who in turn would have to track down the author of the original novel/whoever owns the rights to the properity at his point, which is asking a fuckton.

>>15477882

I've never had one so I don't know how shitty they are, I'm just aware that they exist. My point was more that companies like sony could make a working console that took ps1 discs and not be so jewish about their business practices.

>>15477924

Also didn't the author hate 3rd birthday? So I don't know if he wants anyone touching his shit again.

Can it even run regular games? It looks too small to fit a disc. I found a ps1 for $50 on craigslist.

>>15477886

The perspective on that entire image is just mind boggling if you think about it for a minute.

Older games are generally better than contemporary ones, but I can't get behind the pre-loaded pseudoconsole shit. Just get the games on PSN for the PS3 or something.

>>15477980

Of course it can't, it's just like Nintendo's NES/SNES Classic, but with PS1 games.

>>15477980

Why 50$? I could give mine away for free.

>>15477924

Considering the games have made their way onto the PSN post-PS1 release, I'd think they might be fair game. But yeah, being "extended universe" or whatever of a licensed work might cause some problems.

>>15477980

Highly doubtful. And $50 is way too much for a PS1. PS2s go for about $40 and $60 (for fat and slim respectively) where I live, PS1 should be maybe $30 at best, if not lower, but I haven't exactly made an effort to check what those are at these days.

>the games have made their way onto the PSN post-PS1 release

Shit i forgot about that.

>>15472219

the everdrive 64 is $175, but if hardware accuracy is your end goal it's kinda the only option

>>15474680

Isn't she polish though?

>>15480029

I'd let her polish my 56% goblin if you know what I mean.

>>15480086

Get some taste.

>>1547792

PS1 games are out of print. Besides this thing isn't for real retro gamers. You can emulate the entire PS1 library if you really care about the games.

This is just pure nostalgia bait for 25+ year old demographic.

>>15472168

Because PS1 nostalgia fags only remember the JRPGs and not all the other games that were actually good.

>>15487097

Is that little mulatto the origin of the 56% face, or is it just a coincidence?

>>15472158

Does it play discs?

I think this is for all the dumb people who didn't buy a PSTV when they were still available.

>>15488381

Yes. One is flat and the other is designed to fit your hand, and it has two extra triggers.

It's called ergonomics, kiddo. Apparently neither you nor Nintendo knows what that is.

>>15487976

The vita has no good exclusives though and I can just use a laptop for PSP.

>>15488981

Yeah but I can play those vita exclusives that I enjoyed as well as PSP/PS1 on a device that fits in the palm of my hand

>>15488992

A vita TV isn't a vita.

>>15489016

Or pstv, but I imagine you enjoy your vita.

>>15488311

The Wii Pro controller is the biggest hunk of shit ever.

>>15477882

It's incredibly shit. It's the literally the Sonic Ultimate collection that was released on PS3/360 in a cheap plastic case.

>>15489564

I hear that Sega is making a new classic console and AT games will NOT be making it. This gives me hope…..

>>15473181

Post her tits please.

>>15489564

>Why am I so bald? featuring Cuck Sack

>FF7

That game is on steam. MGS1 or one of the spyro games would’ve been a better choice imo

>>15477377

Great video, everyone should watch it, especially buyfags and hardwarefags.

Also, dude has balls for shitting on and calling out bullshit on several retrogaming youtubers without any reservations on calling them by their names. I don't watch Youtube at all but I assume this guy is at least semi-famous himself, and they usually just circlejerk each other.

>>15488417

>implying

The SNES/dogbone is more ergonomic with a d-pad. The PS1 controller style is more ergonomic with analog sticks.

>>15474526

I imagine this is what anyone who listens to metal "music" looks like.

>>15473060

Doesn't count because it's not Sony™

>>15475027

>Was it the intent to start selling these limited game emuboxes instead from the start?

nah, definitely not. this is clearly influence from nintendo's successful classic mini systems.

>>15477292

im gonna buy it if it can be modified and you can suck my dick like the whiny halfcuck you are

>>15477377

Its not just the retro gamers. Its this whole fucking gamer culture bullshit.

For me it has always been solely about the games. I don't play games to make friends, socialise or find meaning for my existence. So I will just DL an ISO of an old game instead of buying it from eBay for $200 and enjoy myself. I sometimes really wonder if gamers actually GAME.

>>15490156

Crash and Spyro still hold up well. Tomb Raider not so much.

>>15490176

Are you me? I feel exactly the same. Down to every single letter of your post.

I would just love if video games went back to being a fringe subculture hated by normalfags for children, losers and mass shooters.

Small story, I remember the first and only time I made the mistake of going to a video games convention, back in 2008. A relatively large one too, it wasn't a small event.

I hated every second of it. For me, it was pure cringe. What I saw was a bunch of normalfags posing as gamers as an excuse to socialize or something, a bunch of prostitutes cosplaying as female video game characters, and a minority of teenagers and grown manchildren who fitted the stereotype of "nerd gamer loser" so well, down to stained shirts and the smell, that probably even Chris Chan was more presentable than them - funnily enough, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Plus 2 or 3 families of seemingly clueless parents with small children walking around this freak show. All the time I kept asking myself what the hell I was doing there, as all I cared about was video games. I would probably have left less than 30 minutes after I arrived, if I didn't go with a friend who seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, and I was the one who had invited him. So I had to endure this shit for hours.

If that's how a gaming convention was like over 10 years ago, I can't even imagine what they're like today. I became even more asocial as a gamer after that.

>>15490457

>>15490176

>>15477377

You are all me as well apparently, I never cared for the culture bullshit as a way people and companies flock up to manipulate people for money, software was already a cultural product without hyenas added into the mix.

>>15490156

SaGa Frontier holds up remarkably

>>15489919

Ergonomics envelop all the buttons, stop being nitpicky.

flat gamepads are a pain in the ass to hold for too long because you have to rest the weigh on the base of your fingers rather than your palm.

>>15490196

Thanks doc.
