REVIEWING ALL GAMES ON THE PLAYSTATION CLASSIC | Part 1 of 2

There's little more emblematic of the effort put in to this console than the fact that all it takes to access the hidden emulation options is to PLUG IN A KEYBOARD AND HIT ESC.

[@nisnast]

That reminds me of when people connected s keyboard to the Xbox One and we're able to access the graphics settings on PUBG

[@frogglen6350]

You deserve more subs. You put so much effort into your videos

Still can't believe that Silent Hill is missing, but it's probably just Konami at it again

[@minakohiashi8882]

Remove GTA for LSD dream emulator

[@thorhighheels]

I'm surprised they didn't add that one, considering the SNES Classic had Starfox 2. It's not like LSD needs much in the way of localization.

[@thorhighheels]

Never say never I guess, but it's a series I know next to nothing about, and I didn't really like what I played back on the PS2 (but then I was pretty dumb & young). The 2 new games do have my intrest though. I might cover those, but I'd rather not go over the entire series.

Well done video Dutch game guru! Clearly the most positive review I've seen for real, at least you give some insight on the games instead of the usual mourning! -Toshinden looks hella SC tho. -Kula World over cube shit all day. That game was real trippy af.

[@ドリフト180X]

So many weird choices for games on this thing, Sony why?

[@beat-man5167]

i like having weird choices to balance out the obvious heavy hitters but they didn't put that many to begin with.

[@Krystalmyth]

Its just bizarre. Gets even worse when you see the list that was originally planned being on the system already but locked from use.

[@aolson1111]

Because licensed soundtracks.

[@gtPacheko]

I have one. Sony didn't specify what voltage the USB brick needed to be so I used a 12v one from my Moto Z2 Play. It fried the USB ports. It's been decoration for almost 2 years now.

[@jacobcore6278]

What song is playing at 15:30? I’ve heard it before and not knowing where I’ve heard it before is bugging me.

[@dirgeofthedawn]

Battle Arena Toshinden was a game that I played all the time with my brother. That game has an incredibly special place in my heart, and that hidden fight at the end with one of the character's brothers was like a mind-blowing thing for me as a kid. To this day, I have the OST on my phone to listen to on my way to work.

[@Dookie5495]

Hey Thor, I just wanna know how are you taking the big sad news from the Super Best Friends?

[@thorhighheels]

It's really sad. They've been part of my daily routine for a good 5 or so years, and they've had massive influence on me. JoJo, Yakuza, TANK CONTROLS, weird PS2 games, bad voice acting, Deadly Premonition & weird ass fighting games, are all things I value a lot today, that I've learnt about through them. It's also no coincidence, that say, my Policenauts review, came out during their LP. I get so much direct & indirect inspiration from how they talk about games, and what they end up appreciating about them, that I can't help but write about it in some way. Seriously, despite the fact that I started my channel before watching them, it wouldn't be half of what it is today without their influence. Seeing Pat getting VERY passionate about tank controls, Matt laughing his ass off at PS2 voice acting, Liam big grinning at anime tiddies, and Woolie jizzing all over action games, was really great to see, as it resonated with me in ways that I couldn't really share with, or get from, anyone else. Of course, now that's different because of videos like the one this comment section belongs to, but I still tuned in to watch their latest few videos every morning, before starting my day. The fact that that's gone now, hurts in a really unexpected way.

[@shards-of-glass-man]

*U N P L A Y A B L E* Can't wait for the Wild Arms section. The OP is one of those things that make me cry like a little babbie painfully suffocating on nostalgia overload. Every time.

Late April state of PS Classic hacking: Autobleem's latest version is out (only data on USB is modified), Bleemsync (requires hooking up to a Windows running PC, currently requires modifying data on the PSC) and it both are working on OTG-support so no modifications or powered hubs will be required for flawless function. Dreamcast emulation is very good but mainly for 2D fighters. No PS2 GC or Xbox emulation but everything PSP and below's pretty good. Happy as heck with mine for €50.

Shame the emulator Sony used for this thing is pretty weak compared to a lot of the other ones out there.

[@hb-robo]

this is the dumbest thing I've ever said but I kind of like that the PS1 classic isn't just the best of the best? Having some okay or experimental/arcadey games in there makes it feel like a more normal "1997 PSX user experience" than a Metacritic worship box including the bits of good and not all greatness kind of helps make it feel like a time capsule

[@saedt]

Croc really is the best! Did you ever play a game called Urban Chaos? It seems like one of those games you'd review lol

I think the playstation classic is howit is is because that's how the system originally is, there may be another version that matches the second version of the playstation using the analogue sticks having games that have them as optional controls like silent hill and final fantasy 9

Can't wait for the PS2 Classic which has no Shadow of the colossus, Ratchet and clank and Jak and daxter. Seriously though i'd buy a PS2 classic no matter what was on it, i fucking adore that console.

[@Stefano.C]

I would love that to happen, knowing well enough that the collection of games might not be up to snuff, nor the emulation. But hey, if the ps classic is anything to go off of, maybe the ps2 classic might become easy to hack and dump games on it xD

[@JetWolfEX]

Do you think kingdom hearts would make the list? No Klonoa or Silent hill on the PS1 classic so I don't think those sequels would be on it either, (seriously though tekken and driller were by namco, so why wasn't klonoa on PS1 classic?). I think Zone of the enders and MGS2/3 would justify the purchase, they could also include stuff like Yakuza, Drakengard, and DMC.

[@Stefano.C]

@@JetWolfEX You know, as much as I would love it for Sony to include all those games on the ps2 classic, if it happens, but somehow I doubt that. If anything, ehat Sony might do is release a handful of the launch titles for the ps2 in 2000. Titles like the bouncer, which I happen to like, but most would not, and maybe a few crappy kids games xD

[@spiderjerusalem100]

@@Stefano.C You actually still need quite a beefy PC to correctly emulate PS2 games so if one did come out then i'm guessing it would be a lot more expensive than the PS1 classic.

[@Stefano.C]

@@spiderjerusalem100 Yes, that is what I fear, and even to this day, emulation of ps2 games in of themselves is a finikey process in of itself. I am guessing the classic console might cost 149.00 right off the bat. What do you think?

[@roodstachlea]

cant wait for part 2,speaking of the ps classic,the game choice for it is really weird like why did they put in r6 ps1 which is the worst version of the og r6 like idk put smth like driver,destruction derby 2,gta 2,tenchu,nfs uno(maybe this was planned since its one of the earlier ps1 racing games but idk, lICENSES SON),colin mcrae rally,wipeout(really weird that they didnt include wipeout as you said),micro machines v3,doa uno,gex 2 and 3 etc., also in this list i tried avoiding ps1 games that are more seen as pc/n64/dreamcast/3DO(well nfs 1 could be considered a 3do defining title and it being good for the time,but that version is very different compared to the later pc and ps1 ports when it came to content and feel,physics are the same but the pc/ps1 versions have more shit to do and kinda take out the feeling of this being a driving game and not a racing game) games to avoid the r6 ps1 problem,where they put shitty ps1 ports of good non ps1 games of that era because ik what they were going for initially with innovative ps1 games but fucking r6 ps1,i also dont really get why they put in ff7 even tho that has like a bunch of remasters that are readily avalible and not put in smth like driver at least because driver revolutionized multiple genres at least while ff7 just translated the snes jrpg into 3d with more edge and cutscenes but alas a man can only dream

[@thorhighheels]

Dude, Jumping Flash's levels have "I made my first 3D model can we put it in the game pls?" written all over it. One level has both a random floating Moai Head and a frying pan with an egg in it hovering over a volcano. It's pretty adorb.

The PSone was my first actual console, but I didn't get it until they'd made the small model and the dual shock controller was firmly in place by then. I can't fathom playing any of these games without an analog stick, especially the stuff like Cool Boarders. This whole system, from the weak library to the terrible emulation, just screams of laziness.

Toshinden gets a lot of hate nowadays but I enjoyed it back when it came out. Probably wouldn't like it now, and I suspect that the same goes for the writers who gave it good reviews back then. It aged poorly, but in those days we thought that a 3D fighting game like this on a home console was impressive. I can see why they would choose to include it in this collection, based on nostalgia.

[@saedt]

R4 is AMAZING, cant wait til you play that one
