captain commando, final fight and RE2/3 caught my eye..

JoySticksFTW6215d ago

Especially if you own a PSP with a sizable memory stick

himdeel6215d ago

...I cannot wait to get a PSP and slather it up with some if not all of these games.

Panthers6215d ago

Once I get a PSP Go I will be getting RE 1,2,and 3 and FFVII

Greywulf6215d ago (Edited 6215d ago )

Still more challenging than any survival horror i've played this gen. capcom really hit some good gameplay with Resident Evil.. its less a horror game, b ut more a strategy horror -action rpg?

Cant wait to get 2 & 3..

napoleon dynamite(yes!)

Sony is shooting themselves in the foot as far as Backwards compatibility goes. They are missing out on sales from each 80gb/non BC unit out there. Capcom should insist on BC emulation, it can clearly be done w/software.

callahan096215d ago

Thinking about downloading Dino Crisis when it comes out. I never got a chance to play that one other than a short demo in a Toys R Us 10 years ago.

maniacmayhem6215d ago

I played the first Dino Crisis for 10 minutes then moved on due to so many games being on the PS2.

It would be nice to revisit that game and try and finish it.

LoL, u got a disagree...

Livenow6215d ago (Edited 6215d ago )

"We at Capcom just realized that people will buy our old games even if we don't patch in trophies or provide any upgrades to the visuals/gameplay and we just figured this out with PSN so we're going to get our old games to you."

BTW, I will be buying Resident Evil 2.

UnwanteDreamz6215d ago

I was actually thinking about Dino Crisis the other day. I beat the game and loved it. I liked how underpowered you were compared to the Dinos. You will spend a fair ammount of time running for your life in this game.

Trebius6215d ago

This is easy money for them, that's number one.

They know that because the sales of games on PSN are admirable, especially when it came to a big name like FFVII, they can throw old games at PSN and receive huge sums of cash in return.

Not to say this is a BAD thing, it isnt at all...because I'll be playing RE2 and reliving the moment.

I bought FFVII only about a week ago, i was skeptical because I rarely buy things online...but I got it because why not, it's only 10 bucks.

Im SO glad I got it...I'm seeing things I didnt catch when I played it all those years ago. I'm playing a completely different way...some things are actually NEW to me...like whoa, I forgot about this...

Anyway...I digress big time.

YAY CAPCOM.

Jaces6215d ago

RE1, 2, and 3! Yess!

Dino Crisis is a plus too, great game.

Megatron086215d ago

$ony throwing around more money for content....................... .....whatever happen to that we dont buy stuff ?

Tapewurm6215d ago

These games will be great on the PSP..... I have quite a few of them on my PSP atm and FF7 looks sweeet on that little screen......like mentioned above...finding and seeing things I didn't see my first time through all those years ago. Will be getting Dino Crisis, RE2 and Nemesis as soon as they launch.

Greywulf6215d ago

Capcom is releasing its previous sony playstation titles again digitally over PSN. keyword. Playstation.

That was easy.

Omaplatypus6215d ago

ALL PS3 models are compatable with PS1 games, PSN or disc based... get your facts straight

cayal6215d ago

Dino Crisis had an awesome opening sequence.

Was quite a good game that I will purchase if it comes to the Aussie store.

rockleex6214d ago

We first got our PS1. We had no memory card. -_-

We had to try and beat Resident Evil 1 in just ONE playthrough. O_O

Never could beat it. :P

BUY POWERSTONE COLLECTION! ENCOURAGE CAPCOM TO MAKE THE THIRD!!!

hay6215d ago

Hell yeah, I did love both Powerstones on DC.

SprSynJn6215d ago

I don't suppose that is also playable on the PS3 without the use of a PSP, is it? I would love to get any Power Stone game I can find, but I do not have a PSP.

saint_john_paul_ii6215d ago

Capcom is seriously taking the PSN to its fullest potential when it comes to the Store. hopefully other 3rd party companies take notice.

JonnyBigBoss6215d ago

Agreed. It's really a great idea. I mean, I'd prefer PS2 games but PS2 wasn't too long ago... and they would take up a lot of HD space.

Rampaged Death6215d ago

I hope Europe get's this update. I will deffinaltey think about getting Resident Evil 2 and 3. Playing them on the PSP will be brilliant !!

Shuya6215d ago

bah they haven't even given us in EU RE1 yet

Conan9976215d ago

well, you guys have Crash Team Racing!
So jealous. I would love to play that game again.

beavis4play6215d ago

i've been wanting some great RE action. (and no, RE5 ain't it)

beavis4play6215d ago

RE directors cut IS very good........but my favorite is RE2. i've been hoping it'd hit PSN.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle69d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7769d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde76d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy77d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12576d ago (Edited 76d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7778d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga78d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199277d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga77d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman77d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger77d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box78d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion77d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7278d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7578d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit77d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14978d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7778d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
