To the U.S. or Japan only? cause if its for japan only who cares.

TheTimeDoctor5490d ago

agreed, i bet i couldn't even find japan on the map

SoapShoes5490d ago

It's rated by the ESRB. That's North America and not in Japan.

@the4time, I hope that's sarcasm...

News4fanboys5490d ago

@ THE4TIME

yea dude that was a really wierd comment that made no sense wutesoever.

OT: im stoked that these games are making their way here,i apsolutely LOVED both spyros so ill def be picking up tho's.

i need me some ps1 classics Fix.

ZuperAmazingCooKie5490d ago

How about all those niche great games that we missed due to lack of availability at retail? Or how about games that would be pretty much obsolete? I mean I have Street Fighter Alpha 3 for PSOne and I could play it on my PS3 but even if I didn't, there are already remakes of Street Fighter II and Marvel vs Capcom 2 in HD with online play, why go back to SFA3 which has low res textures and no online play and no achievments/trophies? Hell SF4 is here already!

You bet your ass that Capcom is gonna have their own Arcade in XBL and PSN and eventually get all the Street Fighter Alphas, SF EXs, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Capcom vs SNKs and Darkstalkers with higher resolutions (and poly counts in case of the 3D games), online play and lots of new features.

I suggest you do not buy any games that could potentially be better with online play, achievements/trophies and so on because eventually they probably will do that. Get games that can't get much better, like single player games that are not likely to get online play.

"agreed, i bet i couldn't even find japan on the map "

Makes sense you're a Boston fan then.

KwietStorm_BLM5490d ago

I definitely know what you're saying, but at the same time, there's a reason they're called PSOne Classics. They're going to re-sell guaranteed hits to maximize profit. It's smart business.

That being said, I do agree with you. As much of a huge, long time Street Fighter fan I am, there are games I would rather see before Street Fighter Alpha 3. I would LOVE Return Fire, for instance. I would also very much like to see Loaded/ReLoaded, Bushido Blade, Vigilante 8, Phiolosoma, and Soul Blade.

poopsack5489d ago

lol actually really slow. he was being sarcastic cause saying "who cares" about a place like Japan is a really dumb thing to say.

s8anicslayer5489d ago

Why wont capcom release RE2 on PSN? Time is due and I loved that game

DarkSavior5489d ago

US PSN PS1 games are pathetic compare to that of Japan's! RE2 is on Japan's!!!!!!

WhittO5489d ago

Sev (from Playstation Lifestyle) told us weeks ago.

Loads of sites seem to be taking the info they post and acting like it is from "their own sources" and that this already hasn't been said.

DaTruth5489d ago

They should just re-publish all the PSOne greatest hits. It's not like they won't make their money back on a port whilst providing one more reason for people to buy a PS3! I need Tenchu and tomb Raider 2 on my PSP. And now that you guys mention it res series would be awesome too.

Tidus115489d ago

Why would they put a game like medal of honor on the ps store. I wouldn't buy a shooter like that when i could have a much better version that isn't as dated.

KwietStorm_BLM5489d ago

Yea, shame on Sony for not specifically taking you into consideration

Mini Mario5489d ago (Edited 5489d ago )

I just want super street fighter 2 hd remix is NOT released in australia yet...its out on the 360 .....why not on the ps3 here yet. Everywhere else in the world it out.

Street Fighter Alpha 3! Yeaaaaaaah

rogimusprime5489d ago

Spyro the dragon? Sorry if I don't jump out of my seat for that one. I loved wipeout XL but would play wipeout HD before that any day. Where the hell is resident evil 2 in the US? Einhander, Omega Boost? Colony Wars?

Sony could really be doing a lot better. There is no way in hell xbox originals should be able to compete with the ps1 line up, outside of halo 1 and ninja gaiden. I'm glad to see they are doing SOMETHING, but they gotta get of their collective a$$es and figure out a plan.

Leaving money on the table during a recession? Stupid....

truehunter5490d ago

Alrighty got the alpha collection. Next thing u see Megaman 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 x x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8, Breath of fire 1, 2, 3, 4 mayb 5.
Capcom mite as well release all there games on PSN for crying out loud.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 12h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 7h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
