More PS1 games! More PS1 games! I mean… one game? We should be getting at least 3-4 a week if you want to keep up with the quality of the XBOX Live network.

@ kedaro

good post. but they did release two r-type games in one pack. that’s a start. it might not be a game that we all wanted but its something. we should learn to appreciate, so we don’t look pissed off all the times.

edit: I should typed 168 instead of 167.

Also props to the blog for allowing my earlier post. It is nice to see that the company is as a whole is more open to criticism than some of its fans are.

167, you’ll notice that marked that NG2 wasn’t a rpg and the reason why was my post, outside of congratulating Sony on a good update was a response to the state of rpgs on the PS3.

Oh hey look at that. ES, LO. Wow, I’m playing some jrpgs now on the other system, instead of waiting until 2009.

I am very simply expressing my frustration with the lack of jrpgs on the PS3. I also let you know that every 360 only owner I know is pretty happy with owning that. Every PS3 only owner I know of getting a 360 by year end if not earlier.

Sure you can pass the time with Mana Khemia or Persona 3. I personally enjoyed Persona3 but I don’t exactly need a PS3 for a PS2 game.

Haven’t played R-Type since I gave up my old Sega console – Iron Man also looks pretty darn good – and some nice previews – excellent update! ^_^

Ok I’m with everyone else who is upset about the lack of classic PlayStation games on the PSN, Only a small handful of the titles available to North Americans via SCEA-PSN, are truly classic aka. worthy of purchase at this juncture…
Here’s an idea for the future of gamers, no no man(&woman)kind in general. If companies don’t like their hardware modded or homebrew hacked, to do things it’s capable of on a very basic level, why don’t those companies, hurry up and produce to the mass public the means of which these things are made possible, After all the only difference between homebrew hackers, and company tech-heads lately are, one gets paid the other doesn’t, oh and one seems to be more efficient/goal oriented, and the other doesn’t, respectively, but I’ll leave that up to the reader of my post to establish respective comparisons of my statement.

I guess what I’m saying is, If you don’t want to lose a race… the gas peddle is on the right… don’t forget to use it, it controls the fuel injection, If you don’t try to beat the homebrewers to the punch, then you might as well stop whining about their efforts, no-one likes a sore loser.

We got a million or so people about to come off their FFVII Crisis Core high, that lends a nostalgiac message to the gamer upon the end of game/credits roll… ‘To be continued in FFVII’ now would definitely be a good time to have a FFVII PS Classic on the store, I own a hard copy, and would still buy it to play it on my psp, or perhaps Square has plans for an FFVII remake? perhaps now would be a good time to inform the consumer, as to aleviate lack of patience, then less people like us would be posting about this nonsense on this blog, In this particular fashion.

When are the Wipeout Pulse expansion packs going to be available in the USA??
They have been out in Europe for months!
Are they even going to be released here? Does anyone at Sony know?

I remember finishing the original R-Type during lunch breaks at school so I was ready for a nostalgic blast.

D-pad only? What? I played this 20 years ago with a joystick and now on one of the most powerful gaming video systems of all time it doesn’t have the option to use the whole controller?

I don’t care if it was crippled like that on the PS, it’s one of the landmark side scrollers and 10 years after that version someone could have added basic stick support. Nowhere on the store does it say d-pad support only. If it had I would have left the game where it was and kept my $5.

Even Defender on the 360 had stick support. There’s old school and then there’s ancient. Make an effort to at least bring PS Network games into this decade with some basic code updates.
