Re: Reaction: State of Play Can and Will Be Great Assuming Sony Sticks with It

Sinton

Everyone complimenting the format - it was a complete ripoff of Nintendo, even down to the way the news about one game transitioned to the next. I don’t mind Sony going down the same route, as I’ve always enjoyed the Nintendo Directs, but let’s not pretend that Sony invented a brilliant format here.

I thought the content was disappointing (and I own a PSVR). With so much «ok, not great» content, Sony should’ve just dropped the State of Play video online, without an announcement about it a week in advance.

Re: Poll: Do You Feel Ripped Off by PS Plus' Recent Changes?

I feel ripped off, yes. I have already spent my money on the AA games I’d like to play, so there’s no value in the «free» games for me. If there was a cheaper version for online play only, I’d probably pay for that, but as it is now, it’s not worth the price for me by a longshot.

Re: Soapbox: Why the PlayStation Classic's Game Lineup Could Never Please Everyone

I agree with the sentiment, but this still is quite disappointing to me. In my opinion, these mini consoles should consist of the games that made the console iconic in the first place. That some games will miss out due to licensing problems and/or to make sure that the line-up is varied enough, is to expected, but still. The NES and the SNES mini consoles succeeded here for the most part. It missed out on some licensed games (the Turtles games, DuckTales), some heavy hitters were absent (mostly Chrono Trigger), and sometimes they went with a different game in a series than I would’ve preferred (Castlevania II over III, Donkey Kong Country 1 over 2), but they mostly hit the mark.

In my opinion, the list for the PSone Classic, is borderline awful. I can accept that they went with Resident Evil: Director’s Cut over Resident Evil 2, and that they only picked one of the three mainline Final Fantasy games. I can also accept that it’s probably hard (?) to get the licensing rights to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 or 2. But the fact that all of the following games are missing, is baffling to me:
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Silent Hill
Chrono Cross
Gran Turismo 2
PaRappa the Rapper
Final Fantasy Tactics
Vagrant Story
Ape Escape
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Mega Man X4
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Xenogears
Crash Team Racing
WipEout
MediEvil
Suikoden 1 or 2
Tomb Raider 1 or 2
Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 or 3
Spyro 1, 2 or 3
