FINALLY! After years of waiting, some true PSOne Classics are coming to the PSN's PSOne Classics store. The ESRB has done what the ESRB does best and leaked details of five PSX games headed to the PS3's online service, chief among them being Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil: Director's Cut.
Spec Ops: Covert Assault, Spec Ops: Ranger Elite and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six have also been rated and all look to be hitting the PSN. It would appear as if SCEA is finally getting up off its arse and bringing some serious heavy metal to the PSOne Classics section, which still remains one of my favorite elements of the PS3.
Great news for PlayStation fans. MGS and RE are arguably among the very best the PSX had to offer. Now we just need the Final Fantasy titles and the Oddworld games to seal the deal.

I never thought I'd see the day. Sony, ESRB, thank you. I have just "jizzed-in-my-pants!"
I think God himself will descend from heaven now.
Or better yet remake it. Imagine how scary they could make the game nowadays.
Now where is my goddamn Final Fantasy 7.
... These better damn well come out on the European PSN or whatever.
And that is why my friend, you make an American or Japanese account if it doesn't.
that last sentence is priceless
Luckily I still have my black label PS1 copy I bought in '98 =D
It had a great manual too IMO.
On topic, this is great but they really need to put out a lot more. The US PS1 store is mostly pathetic, European stores seem a little better and of course Japan's is just ridiculous. Nationalist Japanese assholes! ;)
I recently found a lost box full of playstation games in a closet including MGS,FFVII,RE2,Tekken 3 and the original tomb raider games...For a second there I left earth and felt like going to heaven.
Gonna replay em all during the summer finishing with MGS then I'm gonna follow up all the way to MGS4.
I actually prefer the pixelized graphics of this version to the very sterile looking GC remake, as well as the more grounded and realistic cutscenes. The only improvement to be found in Twin Snakes is the cutscenes involving Cyborg Ninja.
Leon S. Kennedy?! LEON S. KENNEDY!!! LEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOON EESSSSSSS KEEEEEEEEEEEENEDY!!!!!!!!
@NostalGeek I totally agree with you on the old Snake design.
This news actually makes me want to buy a PS3, finally.
Same goes for Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve + PE2, Dino Crisis 1 + 2.
