I also have to add Urban Reign in there, didn't realize this was an all time classic and probably the greatest 3d beat em up ever made. The learning curve is even steeper than God Hand, I can see this game genuinely filtering people who aren't good at games.

2 dropped the ball with the RC1 legacy weapons and the yeti planet.
3 just refined it just that little bit more. Plus it had a real villain, and Nefarious was great until they ruined him in later games.

There was an ocean of decent games in every genre. I feel like PS1 had less variety but PS1 had all-time classics that stratosphered the industry into a billion dollar genre. Stuff like RE1, MGS, and FF7 changed everything. PS2 felt like it had less classics

In the case of Fucking Gamestop they've started buying them up again and repackaging them for $200 a piece. I just sold them a few PS1s that were laying around collecting dust for some chump change. I wouldn't buy them considering how old they are. Otherwise you'll have to start importing pallets of PS2s out of Somlia and the Atlantean Empire since those are the only worthwhile stocks left on the open market

Part of the pain of being a music rhythm game fan is that we WILL never get proper re-releases of those games with the original setlist intact, not even Tony Hawk could get their original songs back with Activision's influence or Rockstar with the GTA re-releases
>>
MGS3 and GTA San Andreas are easy picks, same with the Kingdom Hearts games and Soul Calibur II and III. The .hack games were super good at the time, the original IMOQ games are a hard thing to revisit despite the nostalgia. There are a lot of old games that look and sound goofy due to their old voice acting, but there's something about old games like Orphen that just feel like playing a shitty old anime.

also Onimusha 2 for being the definitive version despite getting a "remake" recently.

Yeah and that autism has slipped over to the likes of car manufacturers for things like Forza. It's bad enough that record keeping longnoses cry foul but you can't even buy a racing game past the five year mark. Because MS takes it down rather than paying them the blood tribute. You don't need payments for every waking hour of your life for things that are potentially 20+ years old at this point. Learn to create something new rather than rent seeking on near ancient shit for pennies.

Retro isn't a sliding time scale, it refers to trends of a given time and ones that specifically went out of favor.
Most of what the PS2, Xbox, and GCN did is still being done today. Multiplayer games, FPS games, OTS games, etc. have barely changed since then.

The actual reality is just incompetence in the case of Sony. They don't know how to do brand image and so most things just get discarded after the generation ends, and their focus is on big investments for big payouts, which means they naturally don't care much for long terms brand building and maintenance.
Really, an obvious idea should've been to do reissues of the PS1-3 using approximate or emulation tech and offer digital games as well as the means to play physical ones on those reissued consoles, and then offer your first party catalog as part of that, and while that is a big ask, Sony not doing a PS2 Mini kind of proves they have no clue what they're doing.
