Paperclyp Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 So I know recently it came to light that some of the PSN classics were now available to purchase just like any other game (as opposed to just being tied to your subscription to whatever they call their highest tier). However, I am looking right now and some PS1 games that I bought on PS3 are freely downloadable to me, which absolutely was not the case in the past. It’s not universal, but Wild Arms 1-2 and Legend of the Dragoon are downloadable, say “purchased” and I can actually play them. But, for example, I bought jak and daxter on PS3 and that one does not work. This is all very strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I want Devil Dice so bad. That game the wife and I played all the time and it was so much fun. I don't care if I had to buy again or what ever, I just want that game to play anytime I want. I have it on my retro arcade mame system along with 40,000 others but it's not the same. Some games still hold so much nostalgia why is it that there not all available to rebuy and play on the ps4 or 5, can't be hard to emplimate some kind of backward compatibility right? I don't know how it all works but I want it and a hand full of others. I did manage to out of nowhere see I could download Intelligent Cube another huge favorite of mine way back in the PS1 days. I'd love a Metal Gear Solid 1 available also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I’ll have a look at this - I’d quite like to play FF9, but I don’t fancy plugging in my PS3 to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, this is only games they have released on their premium service (FF9 has not been) and it is not universal. I suspect it is related to licensing or legal shit of some kind.

Keyser_Soze Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Just wait for the FF9 remaster that has not been announced but is rumored to be coming. Easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They explained this ages ago, but I can see how it can be missed if you don't connect the two: it's part of the new PS Plus. When a game is added to the PS Plus Classics collections, it can be bought individually. If you already bought the game on a PS3, then you have access to it on your PS5 as well. You don't need PS Plus to be able to do this, either -- if you bought them individually, you have them on PS5. It's great; the more PS1 games added to the streaming service, the more backwards compatible games there are. EDIT: Discussed in this thread: "Also, players who have previously purchased the digital version of select games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will not have to make a separate purchase or sign up to PlayStation Plus to play these titles on PS4 or PS5. When these titles are released for PS4 and PS5, players can head to PlayStation Store and download a version for the consoles at no extra cost if they already own the digital version of the title. Some of the titles will also be available for individual purchase. " EDIT 2: Dude, you were IN THAT THREAD and I explained it to you specifically! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I can think of two purchases I really want to come over, Silent Hill and Tokyo Jungle. Other than that I don’t really care about the rest of my old PSN purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 @SaysWho? I 100 percent forgot BUT, I bought Jak on PS3 and I can’t get it on PS5. I’m sure there are weird version differences that cause this to happen. But mostly yes I am a moron. Although, I think Jak not being available to me vindicates me to some degree from our prior conversation. I bought it, should be mine to play per your explanation in the past, and it is not.

PS1 and PSP were mentioned, not 2. Should be all of them as added, but this isn’t a contradiction. Though I have Jak on ps4, which…. I THINK should work on my 5. Kind of weird 3 would be treated differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, the PS5 feels like a PS4 on steroids, whereas the PS4 felt like it was made by a different company than the company that made the ps3.

PS3's tech was bonkers, which is why it's so much harder to get right, though I feel if it recognizes you bought Jak on PS3, it should recognize that license for PS4; it's not like the version I have is a remake. Otherwise, at least this explains your PS1 questions! It's definitely great progress. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 Just to throw more gas into my self created fire, my buddy for sure owns RE director’s cut on PS3 but it won’t let him download it to his PS5… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an organization that has an archive of all the old Playstation games. Perhaps you should seek it out on google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you had it on Playstation somehow like PSN classics, etc. That's where I got Intelligent Cube last week. A much loved game back in the day and was fun to see it available on my PS5. I have an Arcade system bartop with every damned system & game under the sun {Supposedly over 40,000} and in there is Devil Dice. I was just under the impression maybe sony had released it under some category I was missing. Again like Intelligent Cube and games in that time period. I don't want to Emulate on my Steam deck. I know it can be amazing it's just not what I use it for. Thanks for clearing that up, much appreciated. The Organization can stand down . . . lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
