PlayStation Classic Review: Best left in the past
Depending on how you look at it, Sony’s either celebrating the original PlayStation’s near-25th anniversary with the PlayStation Classic or simply looking to join in on the cash grab Nintendo created by releasing miniaturised versions of retro consoles. After time with the PlayStation Classic, I believe it’s sadly more a case of the latter.
The PlayStation Classic is so similar to Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classic Minis that it comes with nearly all of the same flaws: a small selection of retro games output at a paltry 720p resolution, a power cable that doesn’t come with a proper adapter to plug into a power socket and controller cords that’ll barely make it to your coffee table, let alone your couch. Thankfully, the unit’s controllers are USB which means you can use extenders to fix that issue, though it’ll be at an additional cost; you’ll also have to dish out more cash for that power adapter if you can’t plug the PlayStation Classic into a spare TV port or something.
The PlayStation Classic comes with two controllers at the very least, though they’re modeled after the PlayStation’s original controller design and not the far superior DualShock one that continues to prove itself today (well, with an additional touchpad added in). The controllers are responsive enough, but an actual control stick (or two) makes all the difference; I felt this the most playing through Resident Evil: Director’s Cut and yearning for Resident Evil: Director’s Cut DualShock Ver. instead.
