Full Lineup Of 20 Preloaded PlayStation Classic Games Unveiled

Sony has unveiled the full lineup of games set to feature on the miniaturized reboot of its classic PlayStation console known as the PlayStation Classic. 20 games will be preloaded onto the system when it launches at the end of this year on December 3rd. Five were already confirmed as Final Fantasy VII, Jumping Flash, Ridge Racer Type 4

, Tekken 3, and Wild Arms back when the console was announced in September.

The full list is below:

• Battle Arena Toshinden
• Cool Boarders 2
• Destruction Derby
• Final Fantasy VII
• Grand Theft Auto
• Intelligent Qube
• Jumping Flash
• Metal Gear Solid
• Mr Driller
• Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee
• Rayman
• Resident Evil Director’s Cut
• Revelations: Persona
• Ridge Racer Type 4
• Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
• Syphon Filter
• Tekken 3
• Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six
• Twisted Metal
• Wild Arms

With no possibility of adding games given the system doesn’t support discs or cartridges, the selection is the be all and end all of what will be playable. With classic games of the likes of Metal Gear Solid

, Resident Evil, Syphon Filter, Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto (the top down original that kickstarted Rockstar’s meteoric rise to triple A behemoth), and Twisted Metal, the offerings are in our estimation pretty robust.

As always with these things, personal opinion plays a huge part and games we feel should have made the cut were omitted, but we can’t complain. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 is a grave omission, but Cool Boarders 2 is a nice replacement.

In the same post announcing the 20 preloaded games, Sony confirmed the PS Classic ships with two classic PS1 controllers (the ones without the fat analogue sticks we’ve grown accustomed to it in PlayStation models ever since).

Pre-orders are open on PlayStation’s official web store.
