Is there a complete list somewhere?

Keep waiting, because the game was never released on PS1, so there's no PS1 version you could get to play on PS4/PS5. There is a PS3 release, but it's exactly that: a PS3 version instead of a PS1 game. Of course that's unless you were talking about some other Wolfenstein game, but it would be kind of strange in a thread about PS1 games (obviously Wolfenstein 3D is the only one that could possibly run on PS1, but it was never released for it).

I found this list elsewhere online, but since whoever made it, more titles have been added.  Ridge racer Type 4 for example:

• ⁠Jumping Flash!

• ⁠Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee

• ⁠Syphon Filter

• ⁠Syphon Filter 2

• ⁠Syphon Filter 3

• ⁠Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue!

• ⁠Wild Arms

• ⁠Wild Arms 2

• ⁠Ape Escape

• ⁠Hot Shots Golf

• ⁠I.Q. Intelligence Qube

• ⁠Worms World Party

• ⁠Worms Armageddon

• ⁠Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare

• ⁠MediEvil

• ⁠Cool Boarders

• ⁠The Legend of Dragoon

• ⁠Twisted Metal

• ⁠Twisted Metal 2

• ⁠Harvest Moon: Back to Nature

• ⁠Resident Evil Director's Cut

• ⁠Grandia

• ⁠Tekken 2

I see, thanks! Sadly I don't think I own any of the games on the list (on PSN, that is), so nothing for me then. In any case, it's not a very long list, but at least it's something.

Nope. I bought the original game on PSN on PS3 for sure but I guess you're right, It was only on PS3. Pity that digital Ps3 games didn't come forward. 

I know, I got all the trophies for the game on PS3. It was good to finally fully (excluding secrets etc.) complete the game; the modernized controls really helped with that. Anyway, poor backwards compatibility has really hurt my view of Sony. I would never have thought Sony would practically drop PS1 compatibility altogether.

Yeah, it is really shitty and then they won't actually put out games on premium but drop feed them. Like you can throw every game on there with no effort, we all know it, the games don't need fast forward and rewind and that's a game breaking feature anyway.

It's not as easy as that, the problem comes down to licences.

So if a game has liecenced music; they need to pay for the music again.

If the studio closed, they need to track down who bought the IP and pay again to the new IP holder.

It's not just sticking a rom file on the network.



Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.
