Why didn't Sony make the PlayStation Classic better? - Blu-ray Forum

Like probably most people, I was perplexed by the PlayStation Classic's 20 games.

Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil 2 and 3, Silent Hill, and other classics were blatantly missing. Instead, it included many titles that are mediocre.

The main menu lacked music, and had hardly any options. I think the lack of main menu music was what really did it for me. If they couldn't even add catchy music to the main menu, they must care little about the system, I thought.

The PS Classic is plagued by bizarre choices on Sony's part. You have Twisted Metal, but no Twisted Metal 2 (one of the best Twisted Metal games). People don't want to see that. They want to have the superior sequel to a series as well, to help complete the collection. The same can be said for Rainbow Six. Rogue Spear is a superior sequel, absent from the system, despite being on the PS. I think many people would've been pleased to see Rogue Spear there, from a completionist and collector standpoint at the least.

PS Classic does have bright parts. It has Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 1, Grand Theft Auto 1, Syphon Filter, Tekken 3, Final Fantasy VII, Twisted Metal 1, etc. But the system is too lacking and bizarre otherwise. It should have the best Tomb Raider games on PS, and all the rest I mentioned.

What happened? How come it's so lacking? Is this because of licensing issues? Or did Sony just not care enough to make it great? Was it rushed or something? The NES Classic and SNES Classic are rightly praised, because they pretty much represent the best of the NES and SNES. What happened with the PS Classic?
