    The Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, or Mega Man Legends would’ve been great to see on this list. Just one of those would’ve made this so much better.

    The comments appear to have a consensus between mixed and negative responses. By PlayStation’s standards, that’s a failure in my book. Is there a fix to the so-so list? Maybe release another version with other games, or a statement explaining why so many were omitted? I’m sure there was some type of licensing issue with several titles.

  • God-Of-Lyf

    I was hoping for Devil Dice but figured it was slim to none…!

  • MidnightDragonDX

    Nothing I want is on that list. Pass.

    Very disappointing list. I cancelled my Best Buy preorder, not worth it at all IMO.

    I’m glad that Syphon Filter is finally getting the respect it deserves by being on this collection of Classics. But come on Sony! Revive the damn IP already! There was some absolutely great games and great stories that came out of this IP. It deserves to be revived and hell you’re practically left it on a cliffhanger! Which bites tremendously!

    Does this mean that we won’t be getting backward compatibility?. I mean I love PS1 don’t get me wrong, but I would love that compatibility. My shelf can’t fit any more Playstations.

  • Octoblitz
    October 31, 2018 at 5:29 pm PDT

    Honestly don’t like the fact that MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Castlevania, and Tomb Raider weren’t on this list, but beggars can’t be choosers I suppose. But hey, we got the trailer for Medievil Remastered so that’s a plus!

  • Triple_Double_PS
    October 31, 2018 at 5:38 pm PDT

    This is the problem with licensing and having lawyers determine the list. Sure, games with licensed cars or music won’t make it on. But to exclude Crash, SOTN, or Spyro because of the remakes is not a good decision. Some hard to find classics like Klonoa or Tomba! would have been nice. And Japan gets Devil Dice, Parasite Eve, and G. Darius while we get Destruction Derby? I just can’t justify this list, or trying to play MGS without a Dual Shock. Pass.

  • RaoulDuke1965

    Syphon filter and MGS and ofcoarse GTA . Still have my original copies of syphon filter 1+2 , MGS and GTA 1+ 2 which I will never get rid of. At first syphon filter was not on the list but now it is because that game is one of the best games of its time and will always have a special place on my heart . So glad they added it !

    Some of these games dont even make sense. After the full lost announcement, the increase of preorder cancellations must have sky rocketed, I have talked to more than five people that have already cancelled. Now if you give the ability for us to be able to include games that we would like without having to hack it, then this will be sold out. This is my personal opinion. I would have loved to see a rare, popular and hard to find game like Valkyrie Profile, Ehrgeiz, Tony hawk, symphony of the night, FF tactics, crash team racing, need for speed hot persuit, dino crisis, parasite eve and surely many others. I feel like poor choices were maid when game selection but there are some good games.

    It would be nice if there is a YouTube playlist with gameplay footage of all these games.
    Some of them I have never played, on the edge on whether I should buy the PlayStation Classic now

    I don’t think the average consumer is who they are thinking of i think it’s marketing and licensing. the powers that be at sony who don’t play the games are in charge of decision making. so if the software lineup is lackluster and mediocre it’s because intelligence and good taste aren’t prerequisites. then theres their pet in house developers testers and community who unfortunately skew opinion. even that aside ten million morons will scream for a boring list of games anyway thank god theres no tele tubies or south park ps1 game. my list would be twisted metal 2. gran turismo 2.vigilante 8. metal gear solid. symphony of night. tekken 3.ff tactics. ff7. lunar silver star.brave fencer musashi. tomba.spyro.syphon filter test drive4. nfl blitz. duke nukem a time to kill and legend of dragoon ps jade cacoon tammayu one of the best games for ps1 and of course zeno gears

    How does it not have Crash Bandicoot or Gran Turismo? I would be sold if it did

    maybe sony can put some of the other PS1 classics on the store

    Japan has quite a bit of them

  • Ri-Ri-the-weenie
    November 1, 2018 at 5:39 am PDT

    I think Soul Reaver and Blood Omen would have been a fantastic addition to the ps classic lineup.
    Those two games are (in my opinion) the best games ever made. Nothing can beat them.

  • gabri2403

    What if I want other classic games not included? Can I download them? or buy them or what?

  • ArcticZombie
    November 1, 2018 at 6:53 am PDT

    I graded each game on a scale 0-5 to put in perspective how much I actually want this now. I got 39/100. So I’m cancelling me preorder.
    Not trying to whine like a big baby. But I honestly feel this is no longer worth my money. That is a terrible line up. You guys dropped the ball HARD on this one. I preordered early thinking there’s no way they could screw this up. But you guys did. You really, really did.

    I would have bought it with Tony Hawk, Gran Turismo and Silent HIll. None of the 3 = no Thanks

    – Test Drive
    – NFS 3
    – Tomb Raider

  • mojofilter808
    November 1, 2018 at 11:40 pm PDT

    These are some great games, but I can’t help but feel that there are too many other fantastic games missing. They easily could have put another 10-15 games on this system without much cost in overhead. I can’t help but feel Sony is coming up short. I probably won’t buy one. :(

  • VendettaACS

    This list SUCKS. How are people happy about this list of garbage?

    Cool Boarders? RAINBOW SIX without analogs? Mr. Driller? What? The NES/SNES Classics lineups destroy this. For a company that claims to have exclusives you sure lost all of them from this time period or forgot about them. Even the big hitter Final Fantasy VII can be played on PS4, so what’s the point? Should just scrap this and re-release it with analog controllers and scrub half the list. Keep Metal Gear Solid, Intelligent Qube, FFVII, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal and Wild Arms.

    1st Party Titles
    Gran Turismo
    Legend Of Dragoon
    Legend Of Legaia
    Blasto
    Omega Boost
    Jet Moto
    Steel Reign
    PaRappa the Rapper
    Cardinal Syn
    UmJammer Lammy
    Wipeout

    3rd Party Titles
    Xenogears
    Rival Schools
    Einhander
    Dino Crisis
    Silent Hill
    Parasite Eve
    Bloody Roar 2
    Tomba

    There’s a list of great games you could have actually had Sony instead of nonsense like Jumping Flash. HARD pass frome me and I was super hyped.

    I love Syphon Filter. So, exciting.

  • MaidenHell1977

    Cancelling my preorder. I should have known this was going to be a mediocre collection aimed towards the casual player in mind going for a short lived nostalgic impulse buy rather than for serious gamers.

    While FF7 and MGS are two of the most incredible games in the PSX’s legacy, the inclusion of some games is downright ridiculous.

    Also make sure when you display pricing that the Canadian cost of the system is shown also. In this day in age advertising on platform open to the world you can least get that right for your user base in The Great White North as it is an independent nation with its own currency.

    What about loaded and reloaded?

  • To_Many_Rules
    November 4, 2018 at 8:29 am PST

    Ok so the below are decent but the rest are really poor choices IMHO and I’m not paying £89.99 just for the below games.

    Final Fantasy VII
    Metal Gear Solid
    Mr Driller
    Resident Evil Director’s Cut
    Ridge Racer Type 4
    Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
    Syphon Filter
    Tekken 3
    Wild Arms

    I’ll wait until closer to the release date and see if Sony has made a u-turn and swapped out some of the games. If not I’m cancelling my pre-order.

    Like many of the comments I’ve seen here, I have my issues with the library. My biggest gripe there is no Crash Team Racing. CTR is a personal favorite, and it sucks that Sony forgets about it. It’s unavailable on PS4 or vita (in USA) and it’s not in the remasters of the crash games. It would have made a great addition to the list for availability’s sake. Additionally, Sony has tried to make this product stand against Nintendo’s classics, both of which cost less and have less controversial libraries, while being fully able to use the console’s capabilities. Without analog sticks, some of the games listed as part of the PS classic suffer, and many more worthy and welcome additions to the list would as well. I understand this console was meant to pull nostalgia, but eliminating convenience of control does not make me feel more nostalgic or immersed, particularly because the playstation’s dualshock controller was so iconic. I wanted to like this console. I wanted to be able to support Sony getting into this market. But this is all around such a poor way to handle this sort of product

  • To_Many_Rules
    November 4, 2018 at 12:23 pm PST

    It’s crazy that games like destruction derby, Toshinden and jumping flash were added. Why not include Bushido Blade, Tenchu, Soul Edge/Blade, Wipeout, Vandal Hearts, Final Fatnasy Tactics, Crash Team Racing, Parapa the Rapper, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, Dino Crisis 2 or RE2 rather than RE DC. I can understand maybe why some four disk games like Legend of Dragoon aren’t in here but over half the games feel like filler on a classic console that is much more expensive than the Nintendo or upcoming Sega consoles.

  • To_Many_Rules
    November 4, 2018 at 12:26 pm PST

    I’m even forgetting the worst game of all on that list which I assume you Virtua no one will play, Rainbow 6. Just make it 19 games if you have to add Rainbow 6 to bulk the numbers up. Shocking.

  • ProtagorasEmber
    November 5, 2018 at 6:21 pm PST

    Aside from RE1 Director’s Cut and FFVII, I’m really disappointed with the list. No CSotN, and why include Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Tekken 3 and then NOT include a single 2D fighter. Tekken 3 and most 3D games haven’t aged well and if you wanted to include a Tekken game why not make it Tekken 2, the game where Tekken took shape and became what it still is today? But the most baffling thing to me is that an aged 3D fighter was included instead of a 2D fighter the genre of which DON’T AGE. I can understand if the KOF series was avoided because of their inclusion in the NeoGeo mini arcade cabinet, and I can understand why none of the Street Fighter VS. Series would be included due to licensing issues, but why not Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 2 or 3 if you’re gonna include a Capcom game?

    As I currently own RE1DC as well as FFVII and my temperamental Japanese PS2 is still working (most of the time if it feels like it), I’m sitting this one out and should I come up with an extra disposable hundred dollars I’ll be going with either the NeoGeo cabinet or maybe trying to find a deal on what would be the 3rd Vita I have owned and playing the two games in this collection I like on the Vita instead.

    I’m feeling pretty great about the titles offered. I don’t think you can make a “perfect 20” list that makes everyone happy.

    I think I speak for many PSone lovers when I say that Twisted Metal 2 is the best of the three on the platform, but I’m happy that one of them made the cut.

  • CBragg90
    November 8, 2018 at 9:05 am PST

    I was hoping to see either the original Tomb Raider or Tomb Raider 2 :( Pretty good games though like Resident Evil Directors Cut, Tekken 3 and Syphon Filter but I’ll have to pass. Thankfully I still have a working PS2 slim on top of my PS4 slim!

    Will Tekken 3 have Gon included in the game?
