Sony PlayStation Classic first look: It's good, but not great

What you see is what you get: Sony’s throwback console is a window to PlayStation’s past, but it holds absolutely no surprises.

A ton of old consoles have came back from the dead.. Are there any more you guys want to see?

[hMyGandhi]

No Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Parappa The Rappa, Gran Turismo, Tomba, Silent Hill, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Ape Escape, Klonoa, Parasite Eve, MediEvil, or Wipeout?

What the hell, Sony?

[callumbalodis]

No crash bandicoot or gran turismo? 😂 killed it

[LotarioRed]

No RE2, no RE3, no marvel vs capcom, only 1 final fantasy, no castlevania, no parasite eve, no tony hawk, no mega man, no street fighter, no filters, no rumble, no analog sticks. This thing sucks.

Sony did what Nintendon't. Make a shit classic console.

[DesuVR]

This thing is a disappointment. Better off getting a PS3 and buying PS1 games at a local retro game store.

I'm not trying to start a flame war between nintendo and sony fanboys but I just want to say this. Nintendo did a much better with their classic consoles. The classic NES had some flaws but the big N was well aware and addressed them (mostly) with the Super nes classic. For being such an influential console, Sony really dropped the ball with their classic console. I'm not much of a playstation follower but one thing I can honestly say is fans deserve MUCH better than this.

you're better off just buying an actual ps1 at that price point

[artofgarduno]

We WANT the games to have jagged edges and polygons look because that how it was back in the day. I want it genuine in its purest form.

Well it looks like I'm going to have to hack this thing

[ObsidianXXX]

Excellent, informative and well produced video of this years “Christmas meh gift”

[cleetusvandame]

Canceling my pre-order and I'm sure many others will as well. If Sony was looking for a quick buck around the holiday season, I think they are sadly mistaken it. Whoever was behind this catastrophe should get a bag of these Playstations filled with coal, so he can ignite them all on fire.

[TraumaCenter]

Thanks, I'm gonna skip it. I'll wait for N64 classic.

[pollyaloy]

All the advancements in memory storage since 1994 and the best Sony can do is a pathetic 20 games . Why not 100 games ?

[Kippykip]

Sucks only like 2 of my favourite games are on here, that's a shame.

[adultmoshifan]

Needs a better game lineup, including Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, WipeOut and others! Also there should be a parental controls feature so that kids can be left to play Cool Boarders, Ridge Racer et al while the likes of GTA and MGS are locked out!

[adultmoshifan]

I think Sega should do a Saturn Mini, with 25 games including:

Gex
Pandemonium!
Saturn Bomberman
Rayman
Street Racer
Mega Man X3
Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold
Panzer Dragoon
Panzer Dragoon 2 Zwei
Panzer Dragoon Saga (I know the source code to this one is lost, but surely they can just copy the retail discs?)
Sonic 3D
Sonic R
Nights Into Dreams
Burning Rangers
Fighters Megamix
Battle Arena Toshinden Remix
Golden Axe The Duel
Shinobi X
Bug!
Shining Wisdom
Shining The Holy Ark
Shining Force 3
Daytona USA CCE
Baku Baku Animal
Three Dirty Dwarves

Silent Hill, Tenchu, resident evil 2, resident evil 3 nemisis, gran turismo, apocalypse, mdk, driver, Jonah lomu rugby, fifa 98 road to world cup. Tony hawk, Colin McRae rally. Street fighter.
Need for speed, tomb raider, wwf attitude /smack down
That's just a few that missed out... I'm sure there are so many more that could have easily been added...
What are some others?

[MelvinKhosa]

I've had my Geo/Arcade Classic" plugged into my TV since 2012. It's called a PC. Also have my full library PS1-PS2 playing PS3 still working perfectly.

[philip_sechler]

I wouldn't buy it for the sheer fact that twisted metal 2 isn't in there. Shocking how big companies make amazingly bad business decisions. Cool idea that with easy execution gies wrong somehow during execution.
