cimerians Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) I'm sure this is everywhere. In summary: "Capcom preparing to release between 20 and 40 PS1 and PSP titles via PSN" http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/04/capcom-p...and-psp-titles/ It will be nice to see and play the original Resident Evil 2 and possibly Dino Crisis? I still wish some obscure titles like Tomba and Tiny Tank would come out. Not to mention non FF Square titles that are now completely lost and forgotten on current consoles. Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve etc.. Edited May 5, 2009 by cimerians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 About time. The US and Euro stores are pretty starved. They just seem to be full of terrible forgotten EA games that no-one bought then. Odd thing, Silent Hill was in the UK store a few weeks back. I didn't buy it straight away but came back a week or so later and it was gone! What's going on there? Was i imagining it?

cimerians Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah I remember seeing it on the UK store. Its gone now?? What the hell. Thats the sort of thing that baffles me with Sony. What in the world are they doing? I did want it and thought it would soon come out here in the US where I am, but now I have no idea. I took a look at the Japan store and they are bursting at the seams with games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cimerians Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Wow, we got Bowling this week. Why? They really need to fire someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Surely this is a chance for Squaresoft to make some easy money through old PS1 game sales. Everyone's been wanting FFVII for ages. I'd personally like them to release Xenogears. I imported it years ago but it never got a European release. Heck, if this is the PSP's year (as Sony keep saying), then surely a few classic PS1 titles to play on it would be a system seller for quite a few people.

Gives me an error everytime I try. Edit again: It finally downloaded. The internet connection has been acting screwy ever since I did the system update the other day to download the crummy Marvel Vs Capcom 2 demo.

Atariboy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Most of those have been out for a long time. The only new releases have been the three you mentioned earlier. The rest came out on PSN between late 2006 and late 2008 and aren't the mass release of Capcom titles that is rumored. Or were you just recapping what's presently available on PSN?

cimerians Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Are the R-Types worth it? I have a lot of PS1 games but never tried those. I'm familiar with R-Type but haven't played any PS1 versions. The great thing I have to say is that these games are only $5.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Where are the frickin' Resident Evil games? I'd kill to play those on the go! Also, how do you handle games that require all 4 L and R triggers on the PSP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 It's strange how obscure Tiny Tank was. It's such a fun game and a great character. It's a wonder why there was never a sequel. It really needs a PSN/XBLA release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Or were you just recapping what's presently available on PSN? I just hadn't ever really paid attention before so I assumed they were all new. Makes more sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great thing I have to say is that these games are only $5.99 R-Types is "just" the original two arcade games. $6 for it is a much better price than the $15 they're charging for the XBL version. As for R-Type Delta you can view some of it's gameplay here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 R-Types is "just" the original two arcade games. $6 for it is a much better price than the $15 they're charging for the XBL version. But R-Type Dimensions on XBLA is a much nicer package than the simple ports on the R-Types disc. If you don't have either and are going to get one or the other, I'd say R-Type Dimensions is the better one to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liveinabin Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm officially sick of waiting. Modding my PSP and ripping my PS1 games to it is the next step. Ridge Racer 4 to go - yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I have a PSP with CFW and have been playing the hell out of my PS1 games for the last year or so. Works great and Sony can just sod off for thinking I will buy the same games again to play them on my PSP..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Nice to see it finally appears Sony is starting to take advantage of this in North America. Edited May 17, 2009 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Just modded my PSP. Ridge Racer 4 on a handheld is AWESOME. The PS1 emulation on this thing is brilliant. Only downside is that there's no Analog. You can use the thumbstick but it's just digital. Gonna dump Ace Combat 3 on it next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
