OnlySP.com writes:’The current console generation is home to a number of initiatives that see earlier games lumped under the prestigious banner of Classics. The respective online stores of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 feature subsections for the games on their predecessors, while the HD Remaster efforts (at least on the PS3 in PAL regions) carry the title of Classics HD. Most consumers see it as convenient branding to better distinguish them from more modern products, but when you consider the nature of what has historically been termed ‘Classic’, one might begin to consider this mass cataloguing, irrespective of quality, as sacrilegious. With this feeling at the forefront, the question coalesced: “What defines a Classic?”’OnlySP explores the question as it applies to video games and whether the classification should be granted as indiscriminately as it has been to date. (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Culture, Demon’s Souls, Deus Ex, Dev, Final Fantasy VII, Industry, LittleBigPlanet, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, PS3, Shadow of the Colossus, Xbox 360)
