PSN Thursday: 'Finally, some PS1 games' edition

by Jem Alexander on May 7th 2009 8:00PM

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix makes its PSN debut this week in the US, no doubt intending to feed off the free publicity from the new Star Trek movie. Other than that, there's a lot of new DLC for many different titles, as well as three new PS1 games and even a few full PSP games. What is this, Europe?

Meh

They are slowly moving in the right direction

yea, by adding "Bowling". OH BOY, THAT SURE IS A PS1 CLASSIC!

who in the hell is going to buy that bowling game when HVB is a shitton better?? sure you can argue that you cant play HVB on the PSP but still...

I'm glad they are adding PS1 Titles but hell add some that make sense....

They did. R Type fucking Delta.

I want PS1 games with trophies!!!

wtf!? so want sony to ask devs to add trophies to games developed more than XX amount of years? I hope your not that stupid?

@ InFaMoUs1

Microsoft does it all the time with their developers! Just look at some of their old games, Banjo Tooie, Sonic, Duke Nukem, Dig Dug, and so on. I hope you're not that stupid to realize that it can and should be done!

"I hope your not that stupid?"

http://www.icanhasmotivation.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/ichmfacepalm.jpg

While not a bad idea entirely... Let's work on getting developers to actually RELEASE some good ps1 titles before we talk about trophy support.

those are remakes and are not xbox games. halo ce doesn't have achievements

Uhhh...I think I'll wait for the capcom ones as well as FF7 and MGS 1. Credit for putting ps1 games up for once, but you need to put decent ones up as well.

Of course you wouldn't like Spyro 2

of course.

Nope I didn't even like those games (crash and spyro) when they came out, and I was like 11 then. Too busy playing RE 2, 3, MGS, dino crisis etc etc.

Same here. It's great to see them on the store (whether or not they keep it up has yet to be seen) but Capcom had so many great games on the PS1 that I'll wait for them to see how they go about it. Strider2, SFA2/3, RE's, etc,. They've got an incredible catalog.

Unless I'm mistaken they also have a new PS1 logo which does coincide with a big E3 announcement of some high profile titles. I'm hoping for some obscure titles like the Tecmo's Deception series & higher profile games like Jedi Power Battles, GEX & Battle Arena Toshinden in addition to the most popular ones.

I've bought a few PS1 classics like Suikoden, Tekken 2 and Medieval II. I've been thinking about picking up Wild Arms, Warhawk & the original SYphon Filter because I never got a chance to play those games.

The big gun is going to be when that FF7 drops online.

i got symphony of the night and wild arms a long while back. then i got syphon filter free with qore.

I think some more higher profile games getting announced at E3 (and probably being ready during their conference) is almost a given by now. It just feels like it's going to happen.

I'm thinking that Sony is saving FFVII as a megaton announcement at E3

@Kahn:

I always hated the Spyro games. "Mascot" games in general pissed me off - most of the characters seemed like they were drawn up in board room meetings, a la Poochie.

Feel free to let me know if there was a good one after the PS1 games, as I just ignored him past that.

Final Fantasy VII International is already available in Hong Kong PSN Store and it costs 3.5 times more than the other PS1 titles. It'll probably be $20 / 20€ when it is released in the west. Way to milk it, SE!

Meh/good update.
Qore and savage moon demo here i come.

Crash Team Racing, PSone!

With multiplayer support

I am also not liking the new pricing scheme for BUZZ add-on packs! $6 was a lot easier justify than $8!

just now coming out with a Savage Moon demo?

already bought it, pretty good TD but it needed a perk, like online play or a different mode other than just building towers.

Is it just me or are those letters "GALACTRIX" so in-your-face they actually feel threatening and are hard to read?

And what the heck am I doing commenting on a PSN post?!

I don't know...

I don't know, you're obviously a cat, and cats are obviously 360 fanboys.

^_^

You do know that curiosity killed the cat. :D

@Levi: Oh, yeah, didn't mean to sound like a fangirl. It's just that PS3 news like this isn't relevant to me since I don't own one yet. :P I guess I just HAD to comment on those crazy letteringses.

It looks like they're squishing the 'T'

PATA PATA PATA PON. Finally some decent PSP releases =D

patapon 2 was just released and it kicks even more ass.

There have been some wicked good PSP releases lately.

Give Hammerin Hero and Resistance Retribution as shot in addition to Loco Roco 2. That should tide you over for a bit.

let me repeat myself

patapon 2 was just released and it kicks even more ass.

Bushido Blade, plz.

I'm all over the Patapon 2!!! I'll get Galactrix when it lowers in price. Awesome for ps1 titles finally added.

Anyone see if the new themes are any good? =D

SPYRO!

Thank you, Sony!

Mmmph.. dark day.. just a dark day.

Well this update is much better than the past ones; guess I'll just get Spyro 2.

Im happy NOW

One of the PSone classics is pretty damn good. R-type Delta is the prize out of these three and should be purchased immediately. I already bought it in the hong kong store about a year ago, but if you haven't got it, I'd get it simply because R-Type Delta stands up to Einhander as one of the best Shmups released stateside.

Seriously. They release one of the greatest PS1 shooters ever made and all I see is people bitching about "Bowling."

i'll download the wolverine demo even though i have the game already, and savage moon demo. i'll hold back the LBP dlc for a group purchase later.

PATA-PATA-PATA-PON!!!!!

What is with the $22.99 pricing for Pursuit Force? You can buy it at Gamestop (yes, it's a dirty word, I get it) for $9.99 can't you? And why is Loco Roco 1 still $22.99 on the PS Store? I will never buy it at that price.

On a side note, PATAPON 2! Hell yes!

I agree, those prices are no good.
