Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony has no excuse to not release PS1 games digitally anymore

Well, on PS4 Sony values resolution a lot, so maybe they will hold of the PS1 classics, or maybe they will make it easier to have upres

So, uh, you think modern display technology is the reason for not having PS1 games on PS4, because... reasons? Unless Sony has actually claimed this to be a reason, I don't see any reason to consider it a plausible reason, and even if Sony has said claimed this to be a reason, I still don't consider it a plausible reason.

Also, I'll take the PS1 games on PS4 yesterday, thank you! I took PS1 on PS4 for granted after they were supported on PS3 and was sorely disappointed by Sony's incompetence with the issue. I have pretty much zero expectations at this point and even if Sony does manage to get PS1 games on PS4, it'll still be very late.



I want them to respect the legacy of PS1-PS2 more.



They could drop what Xbox does. Agree with publishers BC deals and have that same game on sale digitally in Thier store.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

If they have trophy support, sure.

Else, no thanks.

puts head up ass.....

they dont need an excuse, they are the leading selling console maker. they will not give any as they believe they owe none.

takes head out of ass....

just staying on message.

 

edit: even though i think your right OP, just the arrogance lately, knows no bounds.

they also seem alot more able to listen to "the players" when not so far ahead, like when ps2 was out king of the mountain which lead to the ps3 disastrous launch, which they did turn around but much much more humble at the start of the ps4 launch, kinda gone to hell since the big numbers they have been boasting. also what happened to shu? he used to be allover the place, if he is out there, i havent seen him in awhile.

Didn't one of the Sony Executives say that you the audience would never want to play something like that.

The funny thing is all this talk is happening towards the back end of the PS4's life , it's not like the PS4 is a year or two into it's life and people are making PS1 an hot issue , Sony have continued along the same path that gave us the games that made it the leading console, then at the back end we get calls of arrogance when they stay on that path, the talk we hear today about Sony only picked up volume when fuel added by the opposition who have a vested interest resulted in a media pile on that morphed what was a legitimate debate into a case of tall poppy syndrome.to the point where now it seems that any want not being executed by Sony is quickly turned to them being arrogant, rather than acknowledging that there are two sides to a story and their reasons may have a validity to them but unless we look we won't know.

Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

With how the NES classic did, they can't do that as it makes no sense financially.

Though that is what we should see. All those classic consoles are silly, just release the games on the current ones.

With the announcement of PlayStation Classic Sony has openly declared they are ok with PlayStation games being played on modern screens (HD and above) as the system will rely on a HDMI connection to display the games from the emulator (the PS3 could still technically be played with composite/component video connections). They have no excuses anymore.

So I'm expecting a digital release of PlayStation Classics for the PS4 to be announced soon as well (and yes, PlayStation officially emulated games have been called PlayStation Classics over PlayStation Network for about a decade now).

Trophy support would be greatly appreciated too.

#ReleaseTheDragoon

Imo Sony will cash in on this classic first and then announce ps1 classics in a few years along with ps2 and ps4 as a bc feature of the ps5. Ps3 I'm not so sure if ps5 could run it.

 

Why? Because it would be seen as a big plus for ps5 and create additional buzz. I think they'll selfishly hold out with the ps4 as it doesn't need any help selling.
