Which Games will Appear on the PlayStation Classic? Which Games do we Want?

Naturally, the PlayStation’s far reaching expanses will touch on games that maybe didn’t appeal to us back in the day and still don’t! That’s fine though, it’s why the PlayStation was so successful in the first place! Without that success, we wouldn’t be getting a PlayStation Classic.

Gran Turismo or Gran Tursimo 2

The PlayStation wouldn’t be where it is without the Gran Turismo series. Deemed the best driving simulator by a good many enthusiasts, this series launched to huge success and pushed the PlayStation brand name into a whole new audience.

I’m more partial to the Ridge Racer Type 4 style of arcade racing, but that’s just my style. If you want Gran Turismo as well, you’ll likely have the option.

Syphon Filter

A successful action franchise that followed in the shadows of Metal Gear Solid, the Syphon Filter games always turned out to be just that: solid. Decent third-person shooters that would blow the minds of gamers everywhere who can’t control the genre without dual analog sticks.

This makes the cut if Metal Gear Solid doesn’t.

Parappa the Rapper

Blasphemy! Heathen! How dare you! I know… I know, I love me some rapping dogs, but the truth is that this game suffers from input lag when played through an HD television screen. Unless Sony can tweak the emulation a little, this classic will be nearly unplayable.

At the same time, it’s simply too important to the history of the PlayStation brand name to ignore. Oh… what to do, what to do!? I gotta do what? I gotta believe!

Legend of Dragoon

I know this game has a TON of fans, but I’m not one of them. Legend of Dragoon was Sony’s answer to the booming popularity of Square’s Final Fantasy franchise, and it has all the hallmarks of a game with great production value backing up a lack of experience.

Four CDs, graphics, semi-interesting combat and character progression, this game still never clicked with me thanks to its bloated story and crippling load times. Sony will probably include it though since they don’t need to pay for the license to run it, as opposed to other bloated JRPGs of its era like Chrono Cross.

Resident Evil 2

I’ve never been big on the older games of the Resident Evil franchise. There’s something about those tank controls that I just can’t learn or get over. Still, I can’t deny that this game had a HUGE impact on the gaming world, nor would Sony or Capcom dare leave it off of an emulation console designed to celebrate the biggest and the best game out there.

Resident Evil 2 is the closest I come to liking the classic series, and it’s also the most influential that it has to offer.
