We will be honest when we talk about Sony releasing PS1 games on PS5 and PS4 as part of PS Plus Premium, we didn’t believe it. Then, when it was confirmed, we expected the absolute minimum. So, all the credit goes to the Japanese giant, which actually exceeded our expectations: rewinding, pushing and even some trophies are included. And now the games are starting to come out in Asia, we have even more details.
Like most modern emulators, there will be various options for displaying PS1 titles. This includes the ability to play in natural resolution, 4: 3 for 16: 9, and even stretched if you are a sinner. There are also three filters you can apply, including Default, Retro Classic (which is actually CRT) and Modern. We’re not entirely sure what the latter option does, but here are some comparisons from Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, as uploaded by BrokenSwiftie in Reset Era:

Overall, we’re quite happy with the variety of options available here – it really seems that Sony has done a decent job. As mentioned in our story with screenshots of Ridge Racer 2, we still have to see these games on the go to draw any solid conclusions, but things are looking pretty good so far.
