this is from before e3 so nothing came of it but it's interesting none the less

PlayStation 1 Classic could be in the works as Sony CEO teases revamp of the iconic console ahead of E3

Could Sony be prepping something big for E3 next month

AS THE sun sets on two Sony consoles, the company could resurrect the beloved PlayStation 1 to give mourning gamers a nostalgia fix.
Rumours are hotting up about a PS1 Classic in the vein of Nintendo's successful NES and SNES revamps after Sony CEO John Kodera revealed that the company is exploring the option.

“Our company is always digging up past assets. I think there are various ways to do (a classic console)," Kodera told Japan's Mantan Web.
"There have been discussions happening (within the company) on what kind of ways are there.”

That'd be f***ing amazing if they did that.

I fully admit I don't understand the trend towards these classic consoles as I grew up almost exclusively on PC until the N64 happened, so my classic console is DosBox.

That said, I know at least two people who would order this the second it became available.

I can see myself hitting the reset button for an hour just to listen to those smash screens again

That sound is peak nostalgia. That is being at my friend's house in 5th/6th grade, eating pizza, and playing Twisted Metal 2 & Final Fantasy VII.

I can't imagine this wouldn't be a licensing nightmare.

Any word on what's going on with Dreams? Nothing except ten second previews throughout E3.

And nothing about Final Fantasy VII remake either. Just a lot of guesses about release dates on Walmart's preorder sheet.

Death Stranding looks so damn good though, that caught my interest the most.

Oh mannn, Twisted Metal? Now that's a blast from the pass. I was up in my friends house who lived in the mountains when I was in 6th grade. We motorbiked all day and came in after dark and just played the hell out of that.

So they’re cheaper in Canada?

P4 is absolutely amazing. Got the true ending in about 88 hours. Please go play it. If you have a Vita, get P4G.

Well, it took awhile after my PSTV arrived to wrangle up the game, an old DS2 controller and a long enough USB micro cable, but I finally started up P4G last night.

Four hours in and I'm already hooked.

I chose to play Normal difficulty, but after the first couple "bosses" I'm starting to wonder if I should've gone for easy. I beat the second "shadow" by the skin of my ass.

Any tips for not screwing up your game royally? (I got the not so subtle hint from Igor).

You can't really screw anything up, per se, though you'll probably end up consulting a FAQ at some point to get the true ending.

Good thing!

I've beaten the first dungeon and really enjoying it so far.

I had a blackout at my house. I have an external hard drive connected to my 500GB PS4. I think some of my games might be glitching. (Final Fantasy XV is the biggest culprit.) Is there a cure to this? Has anybody else ever have this happened to you?

I could buy it if FFVII is on it. Otherwise, my PS4 & PS3 versions are for me.

My PS4 crashed the other day with the external harddrive connected. It wasn't too happy about it when I turned it back on. My fix was to simply disconnect the harddrive, reconnect it then let the PS4 run it's own troubleshooting. Works fine now.

Maybe you could reinstall games that have gone loopy.

Thanks for the offer. I'll do what you said.

fwiw the psn store is having a really good mid year sale

 

[Habsfan18]

Just got an email with a code for 25% off God Of War in the PS store.

When I get the cash, I'll look into this sale.

I mean we already knew that Death Stranding was going to be weird, I guess...

This is easily the best PS4 line-up there's been for IGC over the years.

Now if Mafia III's season pass could end up on sale (I remember it being there a couple months ago), that'd be great.

 

[sa cyred]

Great lineup. One where I will play multiple games. The trivia game also looking like it could be fun!

 

[Oscar Acosta]

I liked Mafia 3 quite a bit, it’s really repetitive but I had fun. Good story, killer soundtrack

 

[syz]

Looks like they're going to put out the Valkyria Chronicles 4 demo in English this week.

 

[BigMac1212]

Argh! My house lost power for a brief moment (maybe a brownout), and my poor PS4 with attached external hard drive went for a doozey. I think I got it fixed, but I don't have time to get a battery backup. (I'm going on vacation to Cincinnati tomorrow #TwilightSparkle Spoiler Alert! )

 

[JaegerDice]

I paid full price for Mafia 3 and didn't regret it one iota. It's not a perfect game by any means, but it has one of my favorite stories, settings and ensembles of characters in any open-world game.

If you haven't played it, I highly recommend picking it up for free this month.
