Vib-ribbon’s unique selling point on its original PlayStation release was the fact you could insert your own music CDs and the game would generate new levels from the tracks on the disc. Different types of obstacles require different button presses, and sometimes you’ll come across obstacles that combine elements together - for example, if you see a ledge with spikes on top, you’ll need to press both L1 (to clear the ledge) and X (to roll across the spikes). Taking on the role of the rabbit-like Vibri, it’s your job to guide her across a perilous landscape generated by the music you’re listening to. (Please note that the following list is based on the PAL region PlayStation store availability may vary in other regions.) Um Jammer LammyĪnother music game from Parappa and Um Jammer Lammy developers NanaOn-Sha, Vib-ribbon is a delightful game with some beautifully abstract presentation. You know what that means, boys and girls - time for a list of PSone Classics you should download before it’s too late! This is an issue, because a number of the games in that lineup are monstrously expensive if you want to pick up a disc-based copy of them, making the PSone Classics releases a much more practical way to experience them - to say nothing of how convenient it is to be able to play them on a handheld.
But not PS4 or PS5, because Sony CEO Jim Ryan is a pillock who doesn’t understand the value of retro games, as memorably demonstrated in this interview with Time Magazine. But it also means we’ll no longer be able to download the PSone Classics range of titles - straight ports of games from the original PlayStation which could be enjoyed on PS3, Vita and/or PSP.
We’ve already seen that the closure of these stores will mean the loss of some awesome PS3 exclusives. Video game collecting has never been better… or worse. These claims are yet to be confirmed by Sony, but in a now-deleted tweet (the Internet never forgets), the developer of indie roguelite platformer Scourgebringer noted that his game’s internal ID was “THELASTVITAGAME” and that he would only be given a 4-month distribution window on the platform, so he believes the reports to be plausible.
