PlayStation Reportedly Abandoned Plans to Bring Back Classic PS1 Game - OpenCritic
Former Sony Interactive Entertainment executive Shuhei Yoshida recently revealed that the company was about to bring back the classic PS1 game to PlayStation VR, though it eventually decided not to. Besides Jumping Flash, Yoshida also commented on other franchises that have been adapted for PlayStation VR.
The PlayStation 1 has an immense portfolio of games, with titles that have become major franchises over the years. During its lifespan, the PS1 revolutionized the video game industry, introducing an innovative and more accessible way to experience the medium and becoming a strong competitor to Nintendo at a time when the Mario creator was the dominant force in gaming. Some of the franchises that originated on the PS1 are Gran Turismo, Silent Hill, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot, and many more. Franchises like these were not only major hits back in the 1990s and 2000s, but also endured over time and spawned many subsequent titles and remakes. However, some significant titles have remained long dormant, and Sony has not brought them back yet.
These RPGs have yet to receive a coveted re-release on modern consoles and remain trapped to this day on the PlayStation...
