PlayStation Classic is a small gaming device that comes with 20 games from the PlayStation 1 generation. Those 20 are revealed yesterday.

When I first heard about PlayStation classic last month I wrote a post about the games I want to see in it. The five games that were announced at the time were of a good variety so I made my list with them in mind.

Now the games have been announced, I think they're a good choice of sony. The selection has games I anticipated were Resident Evil & Metal Gear Solid. As well as games I thought are popular enough like Rayman & Syphon Filter.


PSClassic Lineup:

Here's the whole list:

Battle Arena ToshindenCool Boarders 2Destruction DerbyFinal Fantasy VII
Grand Theft AutoIntelligent QubeJumping FlashMetal Gear Solid
Mr DrillerOddworld: Abe's odysseyRaymanResident Evil: Director's Cut
Revelations: PersonaRidge Racer Type 4Super Puzzle Fighter II TurboSyphon Filter
Tekken 3Tom Clancy’s Rainbow SixTwisted MetalWild Arms

Persona 1, is a game I forgot to put in my most wanted list and I'm happy it's in the #PSClassic. Even though there's no Crash Bandicoot or Spyro. I'm very glad.

Differences Between Versions:

The list above is for the western version, the Japanese version has it's own list of games which is very similar except one point that I think would make people sour about this:

Japanese version has Parasite Eve,
while the western versions don't have that game.

I think that's weird business choice as that game was one of the most wanted games. Well, the Japanese version has many differences but I think this one is significant. what do you think?

Final Thoughts

I would've liked more games to be on the console, Metal Slug will do good on this system. I haven't played the PS1's GTA but I doubt it gives a similar experience of the open world of those released in PS2 time.

Metal Gear Solid was something I expected of this console, so I'm really happy they didn't disappoint us by ditching this game.

I'm not sure how I feel that there are 3 cars/racing games but no Driver 1/2.

Other than games, the console features aren't mentioned by Sony yet. As I said in my post a month ago, I'd like to see Save States, Screen Filters & Dual Shock controllers, the last of which I think is unlikely but will be happy if it happened.

So that's what I have for today.
What do you think?
Do you agree with sony about the games
