The Playstation is nearly dead. A handful of decent games have been shed in the past few months, including Alone in The Dark 4, World's Scariest Police Chases, Breath of Fire 4 and The Italian Job. The PSone is about to have it's final hour. Forget Black + White, they scrapped it. The last hope the PSone has is, wait for it. LMA 2002.

But is this game gonna be the canine's crackers or another last minute catastrophe. hopefully our Playstations can go out with a bang?

Lma Has a good history. It is a great game, and the first two were liked by footy fans everywhere. i just claimed the 2001 addition and i am already hooked, despite the fact i only received it yesterday. there is surely no way this can fail, is there?

It will have all the great stats, matches and highlights, as usual. It will almost definitely contain the depth of the last two. And it will probably take up a whole memory card for one save (oh no).

My final wish would be to see the PSone fade in a glorious fashion.
Dreamcast faded cos no one was buying them.
N64 faded cos no one would make any decent games.
And Xbox has faded before it has even come out, due to Bill gates' name on it.
But surely our favourite little grey box, and without a doubt the best console of the last 5 years, deserves to go out in style.

I think Longy meant

Little kids will play PS1 games because they are cheaper etc.

True Longy.

Everythings about money... and a lot of it.

i didnt understand a word of that.

anyway the PS1 will be gone before april next year because it is as the title suggests the final hour with the only games that have come out apart from all the ones in the title message being kiddie games like disney ones.

The PS2 makes PS1 look like a Game boy game with dodgy graphics and jagged edges i just dont appreciate how smooth the cars in smugglers run look like.

No not really.

Anyway, it is PS1's final hour in terms of new games coming out. There very few good games set to come out, and the ones that are, are few and far between. Many developers are now concentrating on all the next gen consoles as things are much better on there, and games have much bigger limits.

However you are right that the PS1 is far from dead. There is a huge range of PS1 games out there that are all very good, and the graphics dont matter as the game play is excellent. Also the PS2 can play these games so the PS1 games are still selling lots.

i doubt the PSone will have a final hour because it has so many class games for such cheap prices. I enjoyed when there wasnt all these "Dreamcasts final hour" "Psones' final hour" "DC losing out to PS" "Psone no good?" etc... see what i mean?
