Best 'Retro' Sony Console, Whats your preference?

[jw]

What system do you prefer? PSOne or the deuce?

I loved my PSOne and own over 100 games still for it. By far my favorite system even with the lack of internet, etc that todays systems have. I grew up without the net so its not a staple to me by any means.
I play the PS2, however my hard won battles were old skool


We all know the PS3 is a gimmie as the best so it was omitted from this poll for obvious reasons

No PS3 option = thread fail.

But of the two, obviously Ps2, full backwards compatibility and awesome games like the God of War series.

Without question, the system that birthed the Crash Bandicoot series...PS1

hmm, not in PS3 forum, thats why. Didnt we have this discussion about thread crapping etc? Ill retitle it so you understand it better My original intent was posting it in retro discussion, however I remembered the PS2 is still in stores

[mikejet]

This is hard. I can't decide between FF7 and Parappa or SotC and GT4.

Grrr.....

Not going to pick for a while.

I forgot about Gran Turismo.....

The hours I spent on that game, building my car, etc....
One game I really like that persuaded me to get one was destruction derby...I loved that game (I like racing games, if you cant tell)

I...can't...decide! This is like asking a parent which child they love the most.

I have to give a slight edge to the PS2 though because of BC. My PS1 finally died and when I bought my PS2, I still bought PS1 games for quite a while.

SCPH1001 still getting weekly use for cd, however I now play my PS1 games using the PS3 - - Final Fantasy Tactics - one of my favorite games of all time

[GLaDOS]

PS2

[Musashi]

I've enough games on both and enough fun filled memories that I simply can't name one over the other.

I like the poll icons tho: If a poll like this were conducted 20 years from now, logic would suggest for PS3 and for PS4.

[ochild3180]

I have to go with the original Playstation...If not for its greatness, we would not even be discussing the PS2 (or currently enjoying the PS3).

[Dexter Morgan]

I would say PS2 because you had the ability to play all games on both systems with it. I will never forget the badass feeling when first playing the PS1, and the "amazing" graphics. The old school Resident Evil and Gran Turismo games were my favorites. I actually DL'ed REC off the PSN recently, wanting to bring myself back to the good old days of survival horror games. When I saw the graphics though.

Agreed. I loved what each brought to the table at the time, and as I look back at my gaming collection, both brought fond memories.

I did the same when the PS2 launched, when PS2 offerings were relatively slim. I had an extensive library of PS games (and a couple on the Dreamcast) to keep me preoccupied. Even though my PS2 library is substantially larger than my PS', I think I enjoyed the PS offerings just a tad more (I'm still kicking myself for never owning or playing Soul Blade or Final Fantasy VII In my defence though, I didn't purchase the original PlayStation until five years into its life cycle. The joy of being a broke college student )

Loved Soul Blade

[bandit29]

Love 'em both but I had more fun with the original PSX. Gaming changed so much from the SNES to the PSX. 3D gaming was in it's infancy..everything was unknown and new.

Resident Evil 1-3, Final Fantasy VII, Xenogears, Tekken 1 & 2, Metal Gear Solid and Soul Blade were some of my favorites.

I still remember buying a PSX with Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden..I was 20.

[AndyTheZombie]

lol I don't think there is much a history with retro sony consoles I mean all they have is ps1 ps2 ps3 and then psp for hand held. even if I choose ps1 that's not really saying much haha.

It's been 15 years since the original PSX was released.. I would say that it is retro now..The PS2 is not retro really. It's still being made and new games are still being released.
