In a matter of weeks, Sony will be launching its revamped PlayStation Plus, which will see the service split up into three tiers: PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, and PS Plus Premium. PlayStation Plus subscribers that want to get the most bang for their buck will definitely want to consider signing up for PS Plus Premium because even though it's the most expensive tier, it will come with hundreds of retro games not available in the lower tiers.
Not only will PS Plus Premium gives players access to classic games from the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 libraries, but the games will have some significant improvements compared to how they were originally presented. The PS1 games on PS Plus Premium will have better performance, save states, a rewind feature, and different filters so players can relive the classics how they want. Not only that, but some PS Plus Premium PS1 games will even have trophy support.
It was confirmed recently by Bend Studio that PS1 classic Syphon Filter will have trophies when it comes to PS Plus Premium, including its own Platinum. Now that PS Plus Premium is starting to roll out in certain Asian markets, more PS1 games with trophies have leaked online, shared by Exophase.
According to Exophase, Wild Arms, IQ: Intelligent Qube, Hot Shots Golf, and Ape Escape will be joining Syphon Filter in having trophy support. It's unclear if all the games will have a Platinum trophy, but more information on that should come to light as we get closer to the PS Plus Premium launch date in Japan, North America, and elsewhere in the world.
The Exophase leak does more than confirm trophy support for more PS1 games, though. It also confirms a game for PS Plus Premium that weren't previously announced by Sony. It seems as though PS Plus Premium subscribers can look forward to playing the JRPG classic Wild Arms when the service launches, assuming this information is accurate.
In the meantime, some other PS Plus Premium games have leaked online as well. PlayStation 1 classic Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee was leaked for PS Plus Premium when the service launched in Asian markets, as was PSP game Ridge Racer 2. PS Plus Premium is said to include hundreds of retro games, though, so one has to imagine that there are plenty more games on the way for fans to check out in the very near future.
