Looking back to 1999
Like every day of the PlayStation Advent Calendar 2024 there is a look back at the history of the PlayStation. This time the focus is on 1999. The following points were selected by Sony:
PocketStation: The compact expansion for the PS1
In 1999, Sony brought the PocketStation to the Japanese market. This expanded storage unit for the PlayStation not only offered storage space, but also an LCD display and controls that could be used to play mini-games.
Titles like “Final Fantasy 8” and “Legend of Mana” used the PocketStation for exclusive content. Two devices could even be linked together to enable multiplayer functions.
Stealth and horror characterize the year
With “Syphon Filter” Sony established a third-person shooter that combined action and stealth elements. The game became a classic and influenced later developments in the genre.
“Silent Hill”, which shaped the horror game scene and still inspires today with its atmosphere, will also not be forgotten. Last found this Remake of “Silent Hil 2” plenty of response.
