14 DAY TRIAL // Just when I was beginning to think "oh well, all three companies launched their batch of old games," (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) assuming that it was time to give it a rest, this came out: "Sony is rolling out the first PlayStation 3-compatible PSone games in Japan today, with Tekken 2, R-Types, Arc the Lad, Bishi Bashi Special and Resident Evil among them," as Eurogamer reports. Isn't anyone there at Sony telling them that enough is enough? Don't get me wrong, I love PSone games, I grew up with them, but we're witnessing the "next generation rip-off" here.
Sony launches their PS3 console, stamps it with a $600 price tag saying that it's fair 'cause of the Blu-ray thing, launches a few titles that hardly pass for PS2 generation quality, sets up the PlayStation Home service which nobody really knows what it does and then releases a tone of old NEO-GEO arcade games fixing backwards compatibility issues, for gamers to play older games. I wouldn't be so angry about it but they're making such a big fuss out of the whole deal.
I don't know about R-Tipe Delta, but Tekken 2...? Phew! I'm a fan of the series, but I'll shout it to your ear that it effing blows. It's worse than Sega's Virtua Fighter 2 even. Just so everyone's on the same level here, Tekken 3 is the first good game of the Tekken series. Tekken 2 looks and plays worse than mobile games do. There, I've said it! Now go waste your Cell Processor's power on Metal Slug Anthologies, until Nintendo decides to roll out another console wars winner. Oh, you have to upgrade to V. 1.7 firmware to be able to download.
Crash Bandicoot would be nice though? Are they making it available? No they're not.
