@andshrew Wild ARMS has region select (PAL/NTSC-U) in Settings

Thanks - I've removed that from the list.

Is it possible to get the region swap added to Pursuit Force please? The EU version is known to be ridiculously difficult compared to the US version, and I'd rather not pull all my hair out unnecessarily

July PlayStation Premium | Classics 

Gravity Crash Portable | PS4, PS5

Retro fun meets futuristic thrills in PSP space shooter Gravity Crash Portable, now enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Blast aliens across 30 hostile planets in stellar missions filled to the brim with wormholes, laser beams and amazing explosions. 

Twisted Metal | PS4, PS5

The vehicular combat game returns. Experience Twisted Metal on PS1, enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Outwit, outrun and outgun up to eight other vehicles to be the last one surviving by driving anywhere and using machine guns, heat-seeking missiles and more. Take on a friend in a local split-screen two player mode. 

Twisted Metal 2 | PS4, PS5

Smarter, deadlier and deeper battles in the vehicular combat world await in this sequel, with the PS1 version enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters. Master combos and Advanced Attacks to blow away the competition and use special weapons to be the last vehicle on the road. Two player battles return, while the game’s Battlegrounds are now rich with hidden areas, mystery cards, teleporters and secret passageways.

Twisted metal was such a banger back in the day 

[illninoese]

Any chance of telling the team to mention whether or not classics will have trophy support with the blog updates?

[TurtlePM]

It's a shame Toy Story 2 didn't get any trophy list... but even worst is that of the few that never even got the 60hz treatment like most post-launch games did for EU players ?

They're bound to. All but two first party Sony classics have trophies.

 

We will know for sure very soon anyway as the lists usually appear a couple of days before.

Like Veldin said, most Sony classics have had trophy support in the past so there's a likely chance these might have them too, however jefXfree probably can't answer this question until the trophy lists go live on PSN, which should be in the next day or two.

I do like this suggestion though, hopefully Sony does that in the future

[sweatysock47]

Toy Story 2 trophy support. That Is all

[Duck_mann86]

Exophase has confirmed that Gravity Crash Portable, Twisted Metal 1 and Twisted Metal 2 will all have Platinum trophies! This site should be updated with them any minute now

[knackered968]

@jefXfreefirst of all thank you for everything you're doing ?

 

I have just a couple things to report

Ridge Racer Type 4: the dpad is turned "off", it is probably caused by the original game using the physical switch between digital and analog on the controller. Usually it wouldn't be a big deal but Ridge Racer is very arcade-y and many people prefer the digital controls feel

I was wondering if there was a way to convert the physical analog button of the Dualshock into a virtual toggle that we can activate through the Options menu. Alternatively, if that isn't possible, I wonder if the analog steering could be remapped on the dpad

 

The other thing is yet another remapping request ? Gravity Crash Portable would greatly benefit from a buttons-to-right analog remap similar to the one you've implemented for Super Stardust Portable.

 

It would be great if you could please look into this ?

@jefXfree, I need your help once again.

 

Twisted Metal 1 and Twisted Metal 2 purchased from PS Store on PS3 do not appear to claim for free on PS4/PS5.

 

Please report this to the team.

 

I admit I'm already quite bothered to keep buying these classic games since Sony hasn't taken care of the upgrading process PS3 -> PS4/PS5 properly. It seems their goal is for only deluxe subscribers to play these classic games, which is fine, but they shouldn't forget to keep their word to make the games available to those who already own them.

 

If it weren't for you for reporting these license errors over and over again people would end up without the game on the latest console being entitled to it.

 

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hey @jefXfree

 

Something strange is going on with the Twisted Metal game(s). I have Twisted Metal 1 (PSOne Classic) on PS3/Vita but I didn't get the upgrade to PS4/PS5. I also can't download it on PS3/Vita for some reason. The purchase is in my Transaction History and money was taken from my PSN wallet. Could you pass this along as well? 

Thanks

Not sure if it’s related, but a ton of of the Premium games are showing up as “Last Chance to Play” on the store, including Twisted Metal 1/2 and Gravity Crash Portable. Is this a mistake?

I have the exactly same problem!

Even on PS3 I can't download it.

Let's hope for a solution.

Have you only just bought it? I had this problem a short while ago when buying a PS1 game on a PS3. The transaction completed but I couldn't download the game on PS3, and wasn't eligible for the free upgrade on PS5. In the end support had to refund the PS3 purchase (which wasn't a problem as I wasn't able to even download the game, it just took some time for them to do this).

[jefXfree]

I saw this in the Twisted Metal 2 forum. Has been passed along.

Hi, again! I just want to update this in case anyone else has issues unlocking 'Water Slick' on the PS4 version of the game on a PS5. The trophy has been reported as a little buggy by some people, including me, on different forums and other places (like Facebook).

 

[jefXfree]

Also passed this along

 

Quote

I received the "Galactic Menace" trophy but not the "Destructive Spirit" trophy, meaning I destroyed 250 objects but it didn't count when I destroyed 100. This is clearly bugged for other people as the Galactic Menace trophy is a higher percentage, but what could I even do to obtain the trophy other than waiting for a patch? Could they even fix this for people that already destroyed 250 objects?

What was the game you bought that also had this problem?
