[quote name='zewone']The reason was explained once on PS3 Fanboy when there was an interview with Yoshida:
Quote:
Where are all the PS1 games? We chatted with SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida about the lack of PS1 downloadable titles in America, and he admitted it frankly: "I'd like to see more games on that as well ... we haven't done enough with third party publishers."


While lamenting the lack of PS1 support on the PSN, he did ask us a favor: "Maybe if you can convince the third parties."

Link

And there are some publishers, who flat out admitted (like Working Designs) that their games will never end up on the PS Store, mostly due to their bad relationship with SCEA (Vic Ireland made that post at GAF, saying the only way Arc The Lad could appear on the U.S. Store would be for SCEA to re-translate it themselves. Vic Ireland certainly isn't allowing SCEA to use the work he did).[/QUOTE]

Look at you gettin' all The Mana Knight up in here.

And Vic Ireland can fuck off. I don't care if he's right. But he's a "developer personality" who doesn't deserve to be a personality. If he were a band, he'd be Linkin Park. If he were a pro wrestler, he'd be the Ultimate Warrior. The kind of person so pretentious so as to even fool themselves about who they really are. He's not even really a developer. He's an EX-glorified translator whose main recognition was that he' fuck up half the things he localized with terrible, terrible context-sensitive pop culture references.

I don't buy the licensed music excuse. Not for a lot of these titles. How much licensing does Resident Evil need?

EDIT: #-o :lol:

Good ol' Vic. Nice to hear he's still around. Him and Uwe Boll need to team up and make something.

Anyone else played the Bit.Trip Beats on the Wii. I got it this morning and I'm addicted.

I did good in most writing classes (all that killed me was tests), and I also did well in speech classes. What got me passed English in high school was my crazy high grade on Latin/Greek work tests, where I got a 100% on every single quiz and test. I nearly had a heartattack when I missed ONE question on the Quiz number 14 (out of 15) all because I put the Greek or Latin meaning of a word (basically, there was a word that meant different things in Latin and Greek, I got it mixed up and got counted off).

They do. You just don't get much for it.
 
[quote name='zewone']I'd love Twin Snakes if it wasn't for the Matrix cutscenes.

I blame Kojima.

The team that did TS kept the cutscenes very true to the source material. They showed them to Kojima for approval and he didn't like them because they were too similar, he said to "Michael Bay" them up and then we got the TS we all know and love hate.[/QUOTE]

Huh? They had a Japanese director do the new cutscenes: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0457565/
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Plus right now you get extra for trading in a DS. Pretty sure that applies to non-working as well.[/QUOTE]

Awesome.

I'll have to go in tomorrow and check. Everywhere is pretty much closed now due to the weather.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Frankenstein = awesome transition from bad to amazing.
I'm actually loving it.
I wish I wasn't so tired, only 5 more chapters...[/quote]

I am glad to hear that you are enjoying it now.

Oh and I guess to keep things relevant: I am playing though RE5 with a friend and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I had major doubts after playing that demo, but the game is fine now.

Ryûhei Kitamura created many of the game's cut scenes to look almost identical to the ones in Metal Gear Solid (1998) (VG). Hideo Kojima had him redo them, to make sure that they would all be in Kitamura's own style (thus keeping up the concept that this game would be a complete "re-imagination" of MGS).
 
So I'm probably going to go get me a new DS tomorrow.

I'll probably grab Phoenix Wright 3 and 4 since I've yet to play those, but anyone have any suggestions on other games like that? Readingish point/click stuff?

Not going to wait for a DSi?
 
I don't think I want to pay extra for it honestly. I'd rather have the gba port over the stuff they put in the DSi.

And if I'm not mistaken aren't the main things just the camera's and the downloadable stuff? Or am I missing something else?
 
I was too poor when I was a kid to ever own a Gameboy. :cry:

First handheld I ever owned was when I bought myself the NES special edition Gameboy SP.
 
I never owned myself a home console till I was in 8th grade (I don't count my Commodore 64 since I barely knew how to use it growing up) and started with my first being an original Gameboy. The thing exploded in my hands twice, no lie :lol:

I mainly got my gaming time with a friend who lived a bike ride away who owned every new system when they released. I played alot of NES and Genesis at his house. I also fell in love with fighting games since he'd always have the latest Street Fighter II version and the newest Mortal Kombat.

Man that takes me back to good times.
 
My first game console was a Sears version of the 2600. Before that, I had a TI. I could do stuff on it, but my parents couldn't afford the disk drive, so I couldn't save any of my work. :(
 
My first game console was the NES. My brother wouldn't let me play his 2600. :cry:

First handheld was the OG Gameboy, back in '89. I got to play one not long ago, and it's fucking huge, and the screen sucks. Technology has come a long way. I played my cousin's Game Gear AKA battery eater, but never got one. I later bought a Neo Geo Pocket Color, which was a pretty neat system. I only had 2 games for it, and I just recently sold it on CAG. SNK pulled the plug the second I bought it. :cry:

Then I bought a Game Boy Advance because it came with a free copy of Castlevania Circle of the Moon. Screen was so dark that you couldn't see shit. I later found out, thanks to my Game Boy Player, that Dracula shoots dark purple clouds of poison smoke at you. I would just die fighting him and not know why. :lol: Never bothered with an SP, and bought a DS Phat just to play Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow and Phoenix Wright. I hoped on a DS Lite at launch on impulse, just because I was at Walmart at midnight and they were putting them out. Sold my Phat to GS the next day and got $75. Not interested in the DSi, and I was thinking of selling my Lite because I don't play it, though I should just keep it.

I still play my copy of Tetris on my Game Boy Player.

I've got some work to do today, finally. Time to get paid. :cool:
 
My first console was a Genesis. I'm young yo.

I played the NES at my grandparents house though since my uncle was like 20 at the time and going to the university in the area.


On a side note: The second season of tower of druaga ended, I'm sad because it was so damn funny/good. Ah well!
 
My first console was the SNES. The N64 was out at the time I got it, so it was only like 40 bucks at Walmart. First game was super mario allstars, then LttP. Man, LttP was a bitch when you couldn't read well yet. First handheld was a red Gameboy Pocket.
 
My first Handheld was the Gameboy Pocket with Star Wars. I walked in on my parents wrapping it on Christmas the year it came out. And the first console I remember clearly was the NES... but I do vaguely remember owning an atari... I think.
 
The first thing I ever played games on was a Commodore 64, man it was the shit back in the day, there was some really decent games on it.

The first console I played was a 2600 my Aunt and Uncle had, used to play Combat and Adventure a lot.

First console I owned myself was the original Gameboy, I still get the urge to play GB stuff now, I fecking loved that Gameboy. Got a Sega Megadrive not long after that.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']
I don't buy the licensed music excuse. Not for a lot of these titles. How much licensing does Resident Evil need?

EDIT: #-o :lol:[/QUOTE]Licensed music is true though. If a publisher outsources their music or has some company doing it for them (and/or another company doing FMV, story writing, etc.), they have to ask permission by them to use it. The games also have to be re-negotiated to allow for a game to be a digital download (although a game is disc, has to be re-licensed to allow as a download, no matter what), re-negotiated to allow for it to be region free (previous games were region locked), and so on. The entire reason PS1/PS2 games aren't region free (disc based games) is because the old contract already has the games as being region locked, and unfortunately Sony cannot break that (unless they ask every publisher/developer permission first. Some publishers/developers may not care, but some definitely do). One reason we don't even see many VC games either is because of licensing (like Earhbound makes so many references making licensing complicated, unless they remove everything).

I also found this (John Diamonon from Capcom)
When developers first created games on the PSone, not many companies accounted for their games being ported in the digital space, 10 to 13 years later. The reason why you don’t see too many games on the PSone classics right now is because there are so many legal and licensing challenges for the developer. It’s possible that the developer no longer owns the IP, or the rights to the music, voice overs, images, etc.

It's kind of like with SingStar music with SCEE cannot just take a PS2 SingStar disc and put all the music right in the SingStore. The music was only licensed for disc previously, and they have to re-negotiate the music to be used as a digital download, allow for the rights to upload the music online (for video and music), along with agreeing on the price structure. One music company (Universal Music Group) has not come to an agreement with SCEE which has led to their PS2/PS3 disc music never appearing in the store, or any download. If UMG owns the rights to a particular song in a region (like they have they distribution rights to Queen in Canada, not 100% sure about the U.S.), the song doesn't go up in the store in that particular reason. There was an oversight before where a UMG owned song in a particular region appeared, but was taken down (probably because UMG was angry).
