Sony’s ultra cute, diminutive PlayStation Classic is out tomorrow. Following the trend Nintendo started with its mini NES and SNES systems, Sony’s doing its own cashgrab run of delightfully adorable micro systems. The PlayStation Classic comes stuffed with 20 preloaded games. They’re games that have been (rightly, in my opinion) criticised for not being the best showcases for the PlayStation’s incredible legacy.
Since the system’s announcement, PlayStation fans have suggested games that would be a better fit. It turns out that Sony did contemplate many of those games. A Data mine of the system has revealed 36 other games referenced in the system’s source code.
Here they are:
By the way, here are some games that Sony has tested for the PlayStation Classic, they were found in the source code. This lineup is 10x better than the current lineup.
Sony, how, how the absolute fuck did you manage to fuck up a Classic console? pic.twitter.com/ljt2jFDRT0

Contrary to some earlier reports, these games aren’t on the system, hidden away waiting to be used. The PlayStation Classic only sports 16GB of storage space, and the 20 CD-sized games already on there use up most of that space (there’s reportedly about 730MB left spare). Instead, they’re likely a selection of games Sony wanted to include on the system but couldn’t – either because the rights holders objected, or other licencing issues popped up.
There are some fantastic games in that list that would have made me grab the PlayStation Classic without question – even though we now know that its emulation is spotty at best and many of the games are hampered by PAL’s 50hz refresh.

Man, I already love this site not just for the fun content, but actually being one of the ONLY places that reported on this debacle correctly and not just immediately pushing out fake clickbait crap “PlayStation Classic has 36 hidden games locked inside!!!111” nonsense, instead accurately reporting about tested data, not existing data.
Thank you <3

I don’t really understand why would anyone buy this why would I want to play old games with super outdated graphics and game play? Waste of money what is the point of having a new PS4 Pro and a 4k TV that I spend so much money on to play latest games with new game play and graphics!

I totally get it. As a pc gamer, gog is fantastic. I just bought the original Flashback the other day and I cannot wait to play it. I loved playing Another World again as well.
Graphics don’t mean much to me. Sure, it’s fantastic and impressive and immersive, but it doesn’t make a good game.

I do totally agree with you graphics aren’t everything when it comes to the game it’s a plus when they are there but I played games with amazing graphics and I hated the game prime example is Red Dead 2 played it for a week ended up training it in really did not enjoy it. For me it’s more about that super outdated gameplay and how everything responds I mean today we get some really good indie games with not great graphics but they are fun as they do implement newer tech when it comes to gameplay and ideas.
