Showing their age Now that the PS1 and other retro games for PS Plus Premium are leaking it seems, as you’d expect, that Sony is trying to get every half decent game that was ever on a PlayStation onto the service. That’s good in terms of game preservation but I have to ask the obvious question: are any of these games going to be worth playing?

It’s fairly accepted that PS1 era games have aged poorly in terms of graphics, much worse than the N64 (but not as bad as the Saturn), but I’m worried about how they’re going to play too. A lot of the early ones didn’t even have analogue controls and those that did had 90s era camera controls which were… not the best.

I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence but Tekken, Ridge Racer, and Worms should actually work fine, given the nature of their controls and restrictive nature of the game but the likes of Soul Reaver, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, Tenchu, and Tomb Raider I’m not so sure. Everyone jokes about tank controls in Resident Evil but when you go back to them today, they make the games virtually unplayable.

This isn’t anyone’s fault of course, but it makes me wonder if Sony will change anything like controls, the way the camera works, and the difficulty. That’s going to take a lot of work, and will change the original game, but if in its original form nobody’s going to enjoy it, is that a problem as long as it’s just an option? It’s an interesting question and I’m curious to see how it all plays out.Campbell
