PSN downloadable games today = good. (TMNT,Silent Hill, LoK)

[BHvrd]

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reshelled came out today and I really like it, at $9.99 it's well worth it.

The big thing though "imo" is they released 2 of the games I have severely "pun intended" wanted. The PSone classics Silent Hill and Legacy of Kain.

Silent Hill would run you around $50 on ebay and you can get all three of these games for a total combined price of $21.97. That's a good deal.

It's great that Legacy of Kain is on there. Now they need to add Dragon Warrior VII and I'll be happy.

Downloading the demo of Reshelled now!

I hope I like it! Would definitely pay $10 for it, if it's good!

Let's not forget the demo for the new Katamari game went up as well
who is not pumped for that??

[Robocop2]

Did they fix that annoying bug in Silent Hill where when played on a ps3 anytime you fire a gun the game starts emitting a hideous constant screech?

[walrusmonger]

did they fix the load times in legacy of kain? while i own the ps1 and pc versions, i'd buy the PSN one if they managed to end the horrible load times.

SONY has done a good job with the new games available for the PSN ... now it's worth to take a look

FF7 was a great addition

[LiquidPolicenaut]

They actually finally released a demo for Little Big Planet as well. I finally got a chance to play it and, while it IS a pretty game, I found it kind of boring *meh* Maybe I'll give it another try sometime...

Not sure but the PS1 emulation on PS3 does have the "faster load time" option for what that's worth (I think it simulates a 2X disc drive vs. the native 1X drive the PS1 had).

[Leo_A]

I thought PSOne's already had a 2x drive as standard?

[kupomogli]

Legacy of Kain.

Blood Omen or Soul Reaver? Blood Omen is good, but Soul Reaver isn't really.

[norkusa]

Do the PS1 games available on PSN have any graphical improvements? Or do they look exactly the same as playing off a disc?

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

I thought PSOne's already had a 2x drive as standard?

Hmmmm ... yes, looks like it does. Whatever the base speed is, I think the "reduce load time" setting simply emulates a faster drive speed, which subsequently doesn't increase load-times on some games.

Blood Omen and boy is it good as ever.

Blood Omen does in FACT load faster. I tested it and where it usually took 15+ seconds it now takes 5. The menus also load faster.

The graphics are much less pixelated and the colors are vibrant. I've never seen the game look this good. I would say it's worth it even if you own the disc. To me it's the best PSone transfer yet, seems like maybe they took a bit more time on it.

I tested Silent Hill and got no screeching from firing the gun, though I have to admit that the game doesn't look as good as I remember. Don't have my old disc anymore so can't compare but the film grain seems like maybe it didn't transfer so well, turning smoothing off seems best. It's still a classic regardless.

[Robocop2]

That makes me want to try my disc copy maybe they rectified the issue

Not really. It's averaging between $20-30.

Not really. It's averaging between $20-30.

Yeah, the Silent Hill ebay fiasco pretty much ended last January/February. I've seen copies going for under $20 all summer.
