I played MGS for PS1 and I was thrilled. It's truly extraordinary even today in my opinion.

 

Between PS1 and N64, PS1 aged much better. Besides Mario 64 and Ocarina, I guess I wouldn't play anything from n64 today, not even 10 years ago.

Indeed it is!. I still love playing it at least a couple of times every year. The OST, dialogues and boss fights (specially the one with Liquid at the end) make it one of my favorite games of all time.

It's a masterpiece. It's also among my top 5 all time favourites



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

Golden Years of a console are dead since the GCN/PS2 era.

Too many day one patches and downloads now. Come 20 years from now we will all have a collection of broken or incomplete games lol

Nah, those update files will be floating around the internet in 20 years. Plus, you can just back them up to an external drive. 

You can but if you collection is big the more hdds you need then you may want to back up that hdd lol. It gets all messy. Especially when some games have 20gb+ download updates.

Honestly I hope Sony, Nintendo etc just store them online even if you have to download via PC then use an external hdd to load it in.

Yeah, I feel you.

Seriously, though, I guess all of the greatest games will always be remade and re-released. Games like Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid franchise and others will always be available somehow.

lol true

Eh, some games like Doom have a 20 GB update file, but most aren't anywhere near that big. Honestly it depends on the game. You can see the full list of update files here. https://physicalgames.wordpress.com/ps4-update-sizes/

No worries about Nintendo games with the exception of Xeno series, Nintendo games are complete at launch.
