Resident Evil 1&2 on PSP/PS Vita?


Recommended Posts

So has anyone here every played Resident Evil 1 or 2 on their PSP or PS Vita? If so, any glaring issues that make it an avoid at all cost deal? Or do they translate over with little to no issues?

Reason I ask is right now all Resident Evil titles are on sale on the PSN for the next week, and I can pick up 1&2 for a little under $6 since I am a + subscriber.

I honestly totally forget even playing these games, and am not sure if I even did play 1 myself as I was in college at the time. I definitely remember watching my one friend play 1 over and over, but I never played it myself I am pretty sure.

So considering how cheap they are, and they are considered classics, and I have a Vita, I figure why not. I should get to them at some point, like when I am on vacation or taking a plane ride. Will they hold up over all these years?

I actually went ahead and purchased both games. I figured I really could not go wrong for the price, and it is something I can play over the next couple of months on a plane ride or vacation or something. Still interested in hearing any feedback if there are any issues playing them on the Vita if anyone has any experience trying them out.

Sweet! That is awesome! I didn't know you could buy older games for the Vita!

I don't have one, just a PS3, but I'm pretty sure it's the same store for all the consoles, and all the PS1 games on the store work on all 3 platforms. (PS3, Vita, and PSP)

I am pretty sure all of the PS One games do not work on the Vita, only specific ones. Do not quote me on that however. They are clearly marked which ones do though, which is a nice touch. And most of the more popular ones do as well.

Actually I thought this may be the case, IGN has a list of the games that do, do not, and may work (Hopefully the formatting sticks).

Pretty damn good list actually...

This list shows the entire PSOne Classics library that can be purchased on the PS3 and then transferred to the Vita in North America. The games listed in bold indicate games that can be accessed directly from the Vita's PSN store. The games that can be found on Vita directly as of now are bolded.

Bolded entries are ones you can access directly from the PS Store on the Vita. The rest must be downloaded onto a PS3 and then copied over from the Vita (just don't delete the "installation bubble" on the PS3 before copying).

Honestly, I can't tell you how many nights my roommates and I sat up playing RE1, beating it in the 3hr. timespan numerous times.

Master of Unlocking, ya damn right!

That said, RE6 is a little under $15 for PS+ members. Has anyone played it? Is it total rubbish, or could i get by with at least one semi-enjoyable playthrough to make it worth it? I wasn't a huge fan of RE5, but I did rent it and almost got the platinum.

If you played RE5 and got the platinum, I think you will like RE6 just as much if not more actually. Now I never beat it, but I did play about 6 hours or so (I rented it) and it was basically RE5, but better I thought. Now obviously that is not saying all that much, RE5 was pretty damn bad, but 6 was better for sure I thought. So for $15, if you are looking for something to play, I think it is worth it at that price. (Y)

Reading that list is like looking back my youth. So many games there i used to play on my PSone.

I remember when i first got Resident Evil 2. I think i played it for days. I was really good at that game. I could do some pretty good speed runs through it.

I think if i played it today i would go insane though. The controls were a nightmare.

Could Tombi! (Tomba! for you Americans) be the best PSone game?

Tombi! 2 was a pretty good effort too.

That said, RE6 is a little under $15 for PS+ members. Has anyone played it? Is it total rubbish, or could i get by with at least one semi-enjoyable playthrough to make it worth it? I wasn't a huge fan of RE5, but I did rent it and almost got the platinum.

Just to touch on that for a moment: I enjoyed RE5, but the main enjoyment was from playing with a friend of mine. I've got RE6 and have played maybe 2 hours so far just solo...there are some great improvements over RE5 (finally, I can move and shoot!) and it feels more claustrophobic than RE5 (I consider this to be a good thing in a survival horror) but there is something that just hasn't grabbed me yet. I'm going to see if I can get my roommate to give it a whirl with me at some stage to get a better comparison, but I seem to remember that he isn't much of a gamer these days so it might be difficult. What I should really do is run through the campaign on easy-solo so that we can unlock the mercenaries mode.

I can't really compare RE6 to titles before 5 though, as I've only seen others play those.

I am pretty sure all of the PS One games do not work on the Vita, only specific ones. Do not quote me on that however. They are clearly marked which ones do though, which is a nice touch. And most of the more popular ones do as well.

Actually I thought this may be the case, IGN has a list of the games that do, do not, and may work (Hopefully the formatting sticks).

    • Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
