Forums - Sony - Why I hate Sony...

I don't really hate them but I just want to get this off of my chest:

Where the F**k are all of the PS1 games on the PSN?  They release update after update for all of their other games, shove DLC down our throats, but only release a PS1 game once every two weeks.  One game, that generally, is not that great. 

If Sony would just release FFVII on the PSN, I would have an orgasm.  I would be the first to download and buy it, and all would be right in the world.  But they refuse to release more than one of the 8,000 PS1 games out there every two weeks. 

Why can't they do it?

Nintendo releases three every week, so even if you don't like any that week, you have three more to choose from the next week.  With PS, you get one every two weeks, that you generally don't like, and have to wait two more weeks for another one that you won't like. 

It can't be about licensing or anything, as Nintendo is releasing games off of former rival platforms (Sega, Turbografx) and they're doing just fine.  And MS has a slew of old arcade, and regular games coming out with them on a regular basis.

While we're at it, can we get a PSN store revamp?  Stop making everything so frickin hard to find!

Total number of PS1 classics on PSN after 1 year:  under thirty

Total number of VC games on Wii after 1 year: 194 Wikipedia

Total number of games I have downloaded from PSN:  1 (Wild Arms)

Endless Frustration: Priceless

Please release more PS1 classics on PSN.

I've been bitching about PS1 on PSN and being made available to the PSP for awhile now.

Money on the table, Sony. Money on the table!

 I don't think Square enix wants FF7 released on the PSN.... they could make more money with remakes.

 

Same reason why we may not see Final fantasy 6 on the VC :s

You should look at the Japan PSN store. They have well over 100 PS1 games. Makes me wish I could speak Japanese.



@ Carlos710

IDK but I remember reading that they were remaking games on the PSN recently.

But there are 8,000 games to choose from, more than one every two weeks. I'd settle for MGS or any other good PS1 game.

I hate how there is 1 big ad(and the pointless list on the right side) and the icons and words are small because of it. but the PSN does its job for me so whatev.



I know a great way to play PS1 games and you don't even have to wait for Sony to put them on PSN.

Buy a playstation :)




I'd probably get FFVII if it was up on the PS Store, just to see what all the hype is about.



@ Million

 But I want to play them on my PSP.



Well, to be fair, although Nintendo releases 3 games a week, we get only 1 N64 game a month basically. I've always been pissed at the rate they are giving them to us. This is slightly made up for by the fact that we got great imports localized like Sin and Punishment, but I'd still like games like Majora's Mask, Donkey Kong 64, and Diddy Kong Racing pls...
