There isn't a clean full scan of the interview yet, so this is all I know right now to be 100% accurate.

Yeah they will bring the games over here like MGS and Resident Evil 1 and 2......

Blu-Runner · 06-25-2008, 03:49 AM

I hope we get them and then some. I'm really disappointed with the PSX games on the PSN. So far I have Castlevania SotN and that's it. I'd gladly pay for more.

Shin-Ra · 06-25-2008, 04:45 AM

The first four are:

Einhander (Squaresoft)

Xenogears (Squaresoft)

Astronoka (Enix)

Rakugaki Showtime (Enix)

Square-Enix own Taito too so I suppose these may count:

Fighters Impact (Taito)

Raystorm (Taito)

Giyomu · 06-25-2008, 07:03 AM

OUAH!!!!

ok XENOGEARS right now!! at least as soon as I get back home from work

excellent!!!!

Grisle · 06-25-2008, 07:11 AM

I hope these downloads drop the price of the discs...so I can buy them. I just bought Einhander a couple months ago though so it'll probably be Xenogears for me. I may be getting ahead of myself though since nothing is announced for the US.

MOONPHASE · 06-25-2008, 07:42 AM

well i do have my Japanese account ready just in case these dont make it to america but on the Japanese PSN they have so many PS1 games available to download its not even funny. instead of these companies just focusing on just Japan they need to also focus on U.S.

Cplhicks · 06-25-2008, 09:36 AM

They still haven't released Metal Gear Solid on PSN in the US yet, so I hold out little hope for these for a while/ever.

Man, I wish the US store would put up more PS1/PSP games.

yeah, i wouldn't really care about games where you really dont need audio, but for games like MGS and RPG's.........yeah, im gonna need english audio. Otherwise, i wont know what the hell is going on

Xenogears is still, by far, my all time favorite game. But of course I already have the disc version

Im looking forward to Einhander though. Thats EXACTLY the kind of game I want on the PSN (the disc version is a collectors and therefore fairly expensive). I really want KOF98 too, I love king of fighters games.

Yeah, IMO Xenosaga trumped Xenogears (though I never really liked the "good guy doesn't know who he is" storylines, unless they're done better than Xenogears or FFVII (gasp, I said it!)

I thought Zach in FFVII:CC made me feel more powerful than I've ever felt playing any main characters in an RPG, though. RIP, Zach!

And one of the best overall stories (but Xenosaga is still better) of any RPG is Dragon Quest 5, nothing trumps the multiple shifts in time/main characters in that game, IMO.

CptGreedle · 06-25-2008, 03:14 PM

XENOGEARS?!?! AWESOME!! That game has been sold out for ages. It is hard to find without spending a lot.
This is a welcome addition to the PSN network, I just pray we see it here in USA (and other countries) soon too.
