Classic Games On PS5: Sony Is Doing Better.. But..

When Sony re-launched PlayStation Plus last Summer, the new classic games program for PS1, PS2, and PSP wasn't really all that good. But it's very slowly been getting better with region switching, trophy patches, and new titles. There's still a lot of work to be done, but let's talk about where Sony is with restoring these classics. And more importantly, address a problem that may not really have a solution. I for now, have a solution. A solution to a math problem. And that's COMPLETELY unrelated to this video. But I just figured you'd also like to know that.

This is why I will forever have my fully backwards compatible PS3 but having all of this on the PS5 would be the dream

[@bryanwages3518]

Same. I picked mine up from a pawn shop on ebay for 50 dollars. They said it wouldn't turn on. I received it and they didn't turn the selector switch on the bqck and it turned on. The only issue was the disk drive. Whoever owned this bought it and the disk drive quit and they stored it. It's in perfect condition and I replaced the drive. The thermal paste was still wet. It was even on the original firmware too.

If Sony knew it was going to have a problem with PS1, PS2 and PS3 emulators then why change PS+ and add a Premium service? There is nothing premium about it and shouldn't have been included until they knew the time was right. Everytime I look at the Classics Catalogue I am still totally underwhelmed by what it missing.

[@Dzztzt]

That's my real issue right there. A lot of remakes and remastered editions tend to erase the original versions from purchase that in some cases play way better than the remaster.

[@gamingihardlyknowher1062]

I wish they had all the kill zones on there

[@realradec]

I actually like PS+ Premium and it’s classic games selection As a fan of obscure Sony 1st party IP, I love that games like Echochrome and Pursuit Force are getting new life with trophies too But they need to offer more games per month, 3 is too few so I think 5 a month would be a solid number. They also need to get more 3rd party support, fixing the PS2 emulator, and getting PS3 games natively playable on PS5

[@Muddy.Teabagger]

they need to space it out so they can get you to pay every month if you wish to play more of them.

[@packers4life21]

I agree with most of what you said. I think three a month is fine if they can stay at that pace. Long as they continue to add them with trophy support ill stay subbed.

Hopefully someone will find a way to jailbreak the PS5 to play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games.

[@aqee1]

what im confused abt is the choice of games on classics, for example i never understood why we got Ape Escape on PS1 and then we get the PSP remake when theres sm more PSP games to choose (R&C Size Matters, J&D PSP, LBP PSP, etc)

[@Typo-The-Gamer]

I aggress, and I suspect they me be doing more "strategic" releases like how they dropped Twist Metal 1 and 2 just a head of the show coming out. That's my tin foil hat theory I could totally be off mark.

[@aqee1]

@@Typo-The-Gamer yeah the twisted metal games being released is a great addition and possibly due to the show but I wished they actually showed the games of the eras and which popped out making many by these older consoles.

[@MegaRocket99]

I'm glad the ridge racer games are now sold I prefer owning over subscribing. Also it's nice that for the most part entitlement works well for ps1/psp games. I bought the $15 killzone liberation/logans shadow 2-pack on the ps3 store and they immediately unlocked the ps5 classics for me.

[@ThomastheDankEngine8900]

Same. People may say the selection is underwhelming but since the PS1 relied so heavily on third parties there is only so much Sony can offer, mainly first party titles from the system, because third parties sell their games and collections separately.

[@leonbabic7185]

The thing I find really unacceptable, is that some updates to the PS1 classics seem to introduce new emulation bugs. When I tried out the new update for Jumping Flash that gives European players a 60Hz option, I noticed that the game's HUD graphics now don't display correctly, and are corrupted. The update made that the case for both 50Hz and 60Hz, when before it worked perfectly. I haven't been able to find anyone else talk about this online. Have others here in the comments encountered this issue?

[@GreenScreenBartender]

Sony just slyly announced theyre raising the prices of PS Plus (substantially). So much for them 'doing better'. I'm done with their anti-consumer practices and bad value proposition.

[@ThomastheDankEngine8900]

Honestly I’m just glad Sony allows you to buy the classic games you want separately. The reason I hate NSO so much is that you are forced to subscribe to play classic Nintendo games on Switch, which is honestly worse than not offering them at all. Subscription should solely be an option, and never the only method to access any game.

[@ArcadianGenesis]

Wii U Virtual Console > NSO

[@VagrantValmar]

While I perfectly understand why you feel that way, history has proven that Virtual console was a flop and I guarantee you that these PS1 games are selling like ass on PS5. The sad reality is that these games don't sell when offered individually but people do subscribe to these services. I get it but people have "spoken with their wallets" on this and that's why it has shifted to sub services. In the specific case of NSO, I kid you not that the cost of making them individually available is sometimes even barely covered by the sales they get and these publishers actually get profit from what Nintendo pays them since Nintendo itself takes care of setting up the emulator and rom themselves. Some virtual console releases sold less than 200 copies. That's a loss for these companies. Also, some old games, due to weird licensing nonsense, can only be made available via subscriptions and not sold individually. My guess is that RE1DC classic from PS1 is not sold separately because of this.

[@TFSned]

The online requirement is also a pain if you use the Switch while travelling. Every time I try it tells me it hasn't connected to the internet in the last week. If they won't allow you to buy them, they should at least let you choose a game to permanently add to your collection each month.

[@VagrantValmar]

@@TFSned it has a 7 day verification time-frame. You only need to verify once every 7 days. Still not great honestly, it should simply be able to read the expiration date of your sub. But yeah, it's 7 days.

[@ThomastheDankEngine8900]

⁠@@VagrantValmaroh no you are absolutely right and it’s also why Sony and Nintendo don’t care about backwards compatibility. The PlayStation 3 and Wii U had incredible backwards compatibility and respect for legacy content but sold horribly and thus Sony and Nintendo dumped it. Proof? The Switch and PlayStation 4 have zero backwards compatibility are highly acclaimed well loved critical and commercially successful systems that their predecessors never were. Gamers only care about new games. It sucks because the Virtual Console was objectively better in terms of consumer value (owning>renting) but it made the company less money and people are easily fooled by subscriptions so here we are. It sucks because if the Switch had Virtual Console (heck even if it had nothing in place of NSO) it would have been my favorite Nintendo console. I still do think the option of not having purchases is incredibly scummy since PS Plus and GamePass allow for both a sub or purchase so it isn’t really one or the other imo.

[@JackMarston.1895]

I'd love if they somehow brought back some online PS3 games and then also made it so you can play with people on the new consoles and on the PlayStation 3 at the same time

[@Lordainsley]

I like the PS1 and PSP emulation and the fast forward rewind feature. I think the addition of the rewind makes me more likely to go back to these old games, especially if you add trophy support also. If they add more, I'm all for it.

[@OkaRin1]

Perfect, on point video! If only Sony listened to you... I'm all down on classics, but the support is very lacking because they don't want to bother with too many license fees and publishers don't want to add any costs that'll be poor and long to return. They all just bank up on the new games, remasters and remakes to cash-in more. Yes, the majority of the classics we are getting is published by Sony for a reasons. And I guess the PS2 classics program on PS4 was a bust. But looking how they are updating PS1 games, listened to Pal/Ntsc rant and EVEN patching some (The Legend of Dragoon had critical issue) -- some hope left, at the very least they can update the PS2 emulator so it's run smoothly and without any artefacts like now, maybe even adding some features. But build a PS3 emulator? Sadly no. Costs will be too much (working with the cell cores is a pain in the ass and writing all those instructions, testing it and etc.).

[@oaktreep1987]

I'm glad they are slowly improving on the emulation and for preservation and convenience reasons i think it's great. I have to say now that i have installed my ps1in my gameroom and playing those game on a real crt again, the feeling of placing the disc in the console and hearing the sounds of the disc spinning, the feeling of the og dualshock and standard controller and image quality simply cannot be emulated. Don't get me wrong i love emulation and i play a lot of Ps1 games on PSVita, Duckstation and PS3.

[@packers4life21]

Great video always love discussions on the future of classic games. I wonder how long Premium can last with its big selling point being the classic games. They have to have some kind of plan going forward to be able to continue to add classic titles long in the future. I'll stay subbed to it as long as we continue to get new classic games (with trophy support).

My reason for paying for PS plus premium was the classic games then I did the math and figured It was more worth It to buy them individually I hope they stick to this, I would love to have a massive library of PS1 and PSP games they shot themselves In the foot with PS3 being hard to emulate but PS4 onward I think backwards compatibility Is here to stay so It's nice to see them bringing these classic games back I still don't know what "Retro classic" means In the video options

I’d rather buy individually. On sale or otherwise. That way I can set my console to offline mode for long stretches of time without worrying about account licenses issues.

[@Henkibojj]

​@@KnightOfNewColuThat's the general case for these types of things. I don't play Xbox at all but it's undeniably a great deal with such a plethora of games - But! That is only the case if you play through or pick up several games a month. If you stick to one or two, it's much, much cheaper to buy them. Add to it that you will actually have them for the future and not fall victim to the companies pulling content for arbitrary reasons. It's an even stronger case when buying physical, which they cannot remove or patch away content from.

[@csharp3884]

[@farna90]

I think Sony needs to develop new emulators soon, separate games into categories like Nintendo PS1, PSP, PS2. These emulators have to run up to pPS3, because here in Brazil we don't have PS3 games in the cloud. Also put in several interesting functions, such as rewinding the games, and after leaving everything working correctly, keep a small team for maintenance and even helping third-party companies to bring their games to the ps plus. And finally, make the PS-Portal (psp LOL) run these emulators, I know that the PS3 would not be possible to run, but even the PS2 and some indies running natively would be a great product in the face of competition.

[@RazielAU]

The problem is that all these games have to be licensed, Sony would need to pay each publisher an ongoing amount to put/keep those titles on the service. It basically comes down to how much Sony can spend and whether they want to license older games or focus on newer games. It's the same for all these services, it's a balance between licensing titles and keeping the service profitable.

[@vrubayka]

You think Sony pays publishers to put games on the PlayStation Store?

[@RazielAU]

@@vrubayka I'm not talking about the store, I'm talking about services like Playstation Plus Extra & Premium, same with game pass. They have to license titles for the service and it is usually an ongoing fee, that's why titles usually leave the service after a while, the license lapses and they basically decide not to renew it or negotiate for some other titles. The store works differently, usually Sony will take 30% of the gross sale amount and the publisher will take 70% but depending on how big you are, you may be able to negotiate a better rate, but from what I understand this isn't super common. But it does happen from time to time.

[@Pointman11111]

Why not selling the games they're already selling on the ps3 store right now?

[@RazielAU]

​@@Pointman11111 I assume you mean why aren't they selling PS3 games on the PS5? If so, that just comes down to a lack of compatibility. I'll try and keep it simple. The PS3 had a very unique architecture. The problem is the 7 SPUs (Synergistic Processing Units) on the PS3, there is no hardware equivalent to it on anything other than the PS3 itself. The way Xbox 360 backwards compatibility is handled on modern Xbox consoles is not actually via emulation, they just use that term as people are familiar with it. What they actually do is a process called 'binary translation', they completely convert each game from PowerPC architecture into x86-64 so those games can run natively on the Xbox console. That's why you can't just insert a disc and play it, you have to download a version of the game that has been translated into x86 so it can run on the console. Binary translation isn't an option for running PS3 games on the PS5 because there is nothing equivalent to those SPUs in the PS5. So you have to use traditional emulation to run PS3 games, which is a lot slower than binary translation, and very complex due to the architecture of the PS3. If Sony does manage to build a working PS3 emulator then those games could be sold in the PS5 store, but right now there is no way to run PS3 games on the PS5, those systems are just too different.

[@Realspac3]

Hi. Full disclosure: I'm on the Xbox side of this (I have a Series X). Sony's at-launch poor support for backwards compatibility (and more broadly, kind of iffy system software support) was a sore point of mine (and part of why I went with Xbox). But I see it as an objectively good thing that Sony's bringing back their older catalogue on PS5. I think a while back Microsoft said that they don't see many more games being added to backwards compatibility for Xbox Series, and it sounded like it was the same reason you listed as being an issue for PS5: Some publishers may not give permission, or in some cases, the IP owner may be difficult to find. I still find PS5's lack of PS3 backwards compatibility running locally (ie, not streaming via PSNow) is a frustrating own-goal on Sony's part. Yes, you have to download an updated version from the internet even if you have a disc for 360/original Xbox on Microsofts end, but after that, it kind of just works. You've gotten a sub for being pretty objective.

[@ThomastheDankEngine8900]

As someone whose primarily PlayStation and Nintendo its undeniable Microsoft has done the best job with backwards compatibility and respecting their legacy. I never had an Xbox 360 but I bought a Series S as my first Xbox just as an all in one Xbox console.

With the closing of e-shops and push toward digital-only content and unnecessary online requirements, I just said screw it and ended up jailbreaking every single one of my consoles that are able to be jailbroken.

I just want Fromsoft/Sony to put King’s Fields/Shadow Towers games in the classic catalogue that would be the amazing.

[@TFSned]

It's insane that Sony and Nintendo still slowly add emulated games to their catalogue, even though they're now charging a subscription. Disney plus made most of their catalogue available from the start. They didn't make you wait for each movie to show up, or add The Simpsons one season at a time. What's worse is that it's even slower than back on the Wii and PS3. You're paying monthly but you're not even guaranteed one new game per month for each platform. I want to support these, but there's almost no reason to use them since they don't offer anything we don't already have, like betas, unreleased games, new translations, special challenges etc. Nintendo have done this a few times, like Star Fox 2 on the SNES Classic and Switch, but it's a tiny fraction of what they really have.

[@SpoonyOrbit]

I just wish hopefully Sony would really find a way to bring PS3 emulator to the PS5 without having to stream every games in the catalog. But if they do and done the backwards compatible with PS3 onto the PS5, the console would be a legend and in the future I’m hoping they would be doing the legendary PS2 too because PS5 can read DVD's but not the games.

[@Kizarat]

They should hire the RPCS3 team who developed the PS3 emulator for PC. The PS5 has an x86 architecture which it shares with PCs.

[@KahlilFredricks]

@@Kizarat Right. It would’ve been easy if Sony continues finding the official emulator team that shared on a pc, so at least anyone can just message Sony or PlayStation if they can hire RPCS3 because I don’t think they heard about RPCS3 that does great emulations.

I like playing on my crt with an xstation modded ps1 and a softmodded ps2 slim where i stream the game's data from my computer to console through an ethernet cable,after i have played everything i wanna play on a crt i might consider replaying some of my favorites on plastation store just for the achievements. But in general,since those games are just the original titles emulated and displayed on a modern display with a way higher resolution,its different. I wont say its wrong cause there is no wrong or correct way here,but for people who care about the whole experience(graphics etc) its different playing the game on its intended technology and different when its played on a modified enviroment than its original.

[@RyderTZ]

Great video. I personally just buy the games separately, as long as that's offered of course. Too bad PS3 is limited to streaming, there are so many games available! Regardless of how likely it is that these would show up, I'd love to be able to play the original RE2 and RE3 as well as the Parasite Eve games. Also, why would Capcom not allow people to separately buy original RE: DC?? Seems like a silly move. Maybe SIE offered them a bigger paycheck to be included in the service with SIE hoping this method would encourage more sign-ups? Seeing that image of the botched GTA "remasters" reminded me that the original versions of those games were removed from storefronts following the DE launch. Also, don't forget that Rockstar then ADDED those original games BACK but only on the Rockstar Store (PC $30, they also gave those games for free to people who purchased DE through the Rockstar Store) but did none of this for the console storefronts.

[@dapperfan44]

I never bought the PS4 GTA trilogy games because they never lowered to a price I agreed with, and now I regret it. I never bought them because I already owned them on PS3.

[@demorunnertimmedrt4432]

If there was one game I wish could come back it would be modnation racers.

[@Richdomhartv]

LBP Karting, MAG, SOCOM, the list goes on lol

[@Battleguy02]

Just buy a backwards compatible PS3 that won't die the next day and you will save yourself a lot of time and money. Unless you are about preservation and enjoy the first party games only.

[@Humungous-Windows7user]

That's nice. I will still buy PS1 and PS2 games on the PS3 while I still can. Atleast that's better than subscription services where you don't own even a single bit of what's on there.

[@fasoooli2751]

Ps1 ps2 and psp games can be bought on ps4/5. They're not subscription only

[@fasoooli2751]

Ps1 psp games cost 10$ each, some are 6$

[@RealPhilGames]

I mostly use PS Plus premium for PS3 games cause I just don’t want to own a PS3. Now for PS2 games and PS1 games I want to get back into it cause I miss the old Nickelodeon games that were made for PS2, just gotta find myself a refurbished PS2 in the future when I have the cash

[@shamal2351]

I would like to gain thropies in Toy Story 2, this will be amazing if they add thropies to it..

[@0boro]

I'm pretty happy that they are trying to implement trophies to games. It gives you a reason to actually go back and play them on newer consoles imo

[@bradbrad9561]

Doing better? Not after the price increase haha

[@manuel0578]

They should offer a separate subscription tier that only has the classic games catalogue. It’s ridiculous that’s it’s only included in the most expensive tier. (But not as ridiculous as having game trials only in the most expensive tier.)

[@fasoooli2751]

By the far the most ridiculous is no online play only tier

[@suryaramprakash5455]

I wished THE SSX SERIES AND TONY HAWK SERIES SHOULD BE ON THE LIST OF CLASSIC GAMES

[@nowheredude4204]

I really hope they add games like Silent Hill 1 Dino crisis old rachet and clank titles little big planet MotorStorm MGS4 and other games that should be in the store

[@BlindMango]

6:45 - 26 PS1 games and 21 PSP games today (20 PSP games if you don’t count Coded Soul only available in Asia)

[@BigSkylar]

I got 3 Playstation 1 games Twisted Metal 1, Destruction Derby, Warjetz for free from Sony via PS Home during the E3 for PS4 hub. Since they added Twisted Metal for PS4/PS5 and added trophies to it and for me it was free so I've been playing it. Hoping the other 2 games get put on PS4/PS5 also.

[@Miraak22]

I love your videos so so much!!!!!!

[@timtomasello4529]

I keep hoping that they'll put the first Silent Hill game on PS4/PS5 with a trophy list.

[@pieterbalk-ht7kq]

Sony has totally lost its once magic touch @Mystic - The pisspoor launch of PSVR2 with “virtually” no games and having it launched when the PS5 was still difficult to buy in stores over 2 years after its launch. - And what about this poorly designed handheld debacle which is a far cry from the superb psp and vita, - the absolute stupendous design of that PS5 “router”, - the “we believe in generations” crap and then releasing multi gen stuff even 3 years in the PS5 cycle, - the lack of creativity with rehashed old games as remasters and even re-remasters (TLO anyone?) - the uninspired advertising campaigns. (Remember those insane and very creative advertisements and commercials from the 90’s and 2000’s?) I could go on but somehow Playstation is nothing like what it used to be and that is sad, very sad.

[@TheCatFather45]

PS Extra is the sweet spot imo

[@Retro-beat-em-up-games]

I wish all the Spider-Man games for PS3 was compatible

[@adrian_veidt]

Talk about the PS plus bs. Call Sony out for this greedy stunt

[@Gotakibono]

I definitely will not be going for the premium tier again until there's a massive improvement in the catalogue. The fact that the PS3 and Vita stores (which were going to be closed a few years ago) still have a much larger selection of classic games is honestly ridiculous.

[@GolDRoger-hy4ei]

It's pretty wild that I can play PS3 games on my Steam Deck but not my PS5.

[@TheRichieFFX]

And then Sony decided to do worse today.

[@adrenaliner91]

Hey, I want PAL games! I am from Germany and they just feel right! Besides sometimes it's in my language and that feels like home. If they would go back to NTSC only I would not buy most of the games and emulating them myself instead. But I'm still waiting for a ps5 slim with far less power consumption anyway. Playing on a ps5 would be just too expensive right now.

[@DasheFelton]

I haven't been able to play a Splinter Cell title since back when I first upgraded to the PS4.

[@gerardohuitron8724]

Tomando en consideración que los juegos para PlayStation (PSX) en formato físico cada día son más costosos, es necesario que se amplíe su catálogo de clásicos para la PS5 (en especial aquellos juegos que no tienen remakes) porque la cantidad de títulos disponibles sigue siendo escasa y restrictiva. De no ser así, las nuevas generaciones no los podrán disfrutar sin recurrir a la piratería.

[@JoseMedina-hs9st]

Glover I remember that game on the Nintendo 64.

[@JohnDavidSullivan]

My only question is where are all the classic games by Psygnosis?

[@LionHeart089]

I would love to see Brave Fencer Musashi and Parasite Eve added to the classics library sometime in the future.

[@tonyupham354]

I know how you feel.. they are totally dragging their feet with these classic games. I am itching to play Command & Conquer on the PS5!!!!

[@GGFTV]

This aged so hilariously lol

[@VanTesla]

Know of us expected Playstation to throw that insane curveball... I'm sure he will talk about it for Friday video. Hopefully, he doesn't try to rationalize that price hike as being ok.

[@CrazyPlatinum92]

I'm just wait on his reaction my guess Sony just using it as an excuse now

[@ajaykundlas7461]

I think it also goes to really show just how much Sony's early personality was driven by third parties, and how much of them are just multiplat now. Like Tomb Raider, Crash, Spyro, Metal Gear, the PSX final fantasies, Resident Evil, lot of great stuff that many would argue are definitive titles for the console, a lot of which can't really be under the PS premium banner cause of how their companies have decided to do collections or remasters or remakes, etc. Same situation for a lot of the PS2 honestly.

[@Dysmorphyx_]

I really just hope that they make ports for a lot of the PS3 games instead of forcing us to stream them like ratchet and clank for example, because if someone doesn’t have the best Internet, then they’re probably not even going to be able to get a good experience out of playing the older ratchet and clank games

[@theguyinthere]

i wanna know is there a trick that i can use to save money if i buy it on the PS3? cause i got a digital copy of Legend of Dragoon and it opened it up for free on PS4 and 5.

[@PanHellmuncikPL]

Well I have a question for y'all. I bought some games on PAL PS Store via PS3. For example Wild Arms that is available both on PS3 and PS5. How I can redownload this game on PS5? I only have options to buy this AGAIN or buy PS Plus. Any tips?

[@ps-lover8380]

I bought premium because of the PS1 PS2 classics wish they release more games including fighting games

[@ThomasJames-ix8wn]

Same here, I still can’t believe Tekken 3 hasn’t been listed or any of the bloody roar games

[@ps-lover8380]

@@ThomasJames-ix8wn same I love Tekken 3 and bloody Roar 2 so much

With Trophies

[@nukeboynez3648]

I am one of the oldheads who used to be addicted to Killzone 2 in it's heyday. I don't understand why they won't do a new one for the PS5

[@sirprintalot]

I've played almost all the PS1 and PSP games dropped so far, even streamed a fair few PS3 games. Yeah it's disappointing for sure, I'm still getting a fair use out of the classics but I sometimes wonder how many people are doing the same.

[@jonnyfive5000]

The warriors ps2 still doesn’t work very well on ps5 :/ . I look forward to classic games and ps5 games. It’s exciting for me. Wish they allowed more support for configuring controls for classic games. Would love to see more ps2. The getaway would be a blast to play again

[@demonfox560]

Mystic question which versions of GOW chains of Olympus & Ghost of Sparta that you'll think might come out for PS classics PS3 versions again or PSP versions or both versions.
