A PlayStation fan imagines how the covers of modern PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games would look as PlayStation 1 titles.
A PlayStation fan imagined what the covers of modern PS4 and PS5 games would like if they were released on PS1. Sony’s first-party AAA games often get positive reviews and sell millions of copies. This includes new IPs like Ghost of Tsushima and the Horizon series, and the latest installments in blockbuster franchises like Uncharted, The Last of Us, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and God of War.
PlayStation has released a bunch of exclusives since the PS5 came out in November 2020. The console launched with marquee titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Demon’s Souls, with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Returnal coming out the following summer. This year alone, Sony has already released Gran Turismo 7 and Horizon Forbidden West, and God of War Ragnarok is just around the corner. Now, one PlayStation fan has reimagined some of these modern games as PS1 titles.
A Reddit user named M_S_1 shared several images that imagined the covers of PS4 and PS5 titles as PS1 games. A few images feature the official cover of that particular game, but others have different pieces of artwork. M_S_1 uploaded 16 images largely consisting of first-party games with a few popular third-party titles. The post begins by showing Nate and Sam fighting off pirates in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, followed by Bloodborne, Death Stranding, and two covers for Ghost of Tsushima.
Additional images can be viewed on Reddit.
Other prominent first-party AAA games like God of War and The Last of Us Part 2 are also included. In terms of third-party titles, M_S_1 decided to feature Resident Evil Village, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon among others. Fans will notice several neat details in these images, such as the old Sony Computer Entertainment logo before it was renamed Sony Interactive Entertainment. The user also made sure to include the correct ESRB rating of many of these games, and the covers look more authentic as a result.
Users in the comments showed their appreciation and love for the covers, with one mentioning that the Bloodborne image looks like a proper PS1 cover. On the other hand, one fan suggested that M_S_1 demake the artwork and lower the quality, at least for each game’s logo. Another player posted a funny comment wondering how many disks each game would require, as many modern titles take up a lot of storage space. In another comment, M_S_1 said that the Uncharted cover was their favorite and the one featuring Returnal was their least favorite.
