Sadly, no PS4 games made the list.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/playstation_20_aniversario-e1443524964231.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81778\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/playstation_20_aniversario-e1443524964231.jpg\" alt=\"PlayStation 20th Anniversary\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The poll, which you can check out <a href=\"http:\/\/community.eu.playstation.com\/t5\/PSN-General\/Poll-20YearsOfPlay-Games-that-defined-the-generations\/td-p\/23642262\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>, will be open for about a week, ending 6th October, following which the results will be announced.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick from a range of classic PlayStation games, including\u00a0<em>Wipeout, Socom II, Gran Turismo, Spyro<\/em> and <em>Jak &amp; Dexter.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Just make a selection in each of the categories and choose your favourite games for each PlayStation console, with the exception of the PS4 of course. This is your chance to make your voices heard, and we strongly suggest you go right ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Sony has published similar surveys before. In April last year, they asked for PlayStation fans&#8217; opinions on several chat features and a player rating system.<\/p>\n<p>Most noteworthy is that polls like the above are commonly used in the gaming industry to measure interest in a game, franchise and even features for consoles.<\/p>\n<p>In all likelihood, Sony is probably using the survey to gauge fan interest in\u00a0sequels and\u00a0remasters for\u00a0the PS4.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u00a0we would have loved to see games like the <em>Legend of Dragoon<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Vagrant Story<\/em>, and so on, on the list of\u00a0PlayStation games. The number of titles feels a tad restricted for our liking.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s likely a last minute idea by Sony. It&#8217;s either that, or those are the licenses Sony knows they can most easily rekindle or throw money at.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/community.eu.playstation.com\/t5\/PSN-General\/Poll-20YearsOfPlay-Games-that-defined-the-generations\/td-p\/23642262\" target=\"_blank\">PlayStation EU Forum<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>More on PlayStation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to Don\u2019t hold your breath: A PlayStation Vita 2 is unlikely to happen\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/ps4\/81746-dont-hold-your-breath-a-playstation-vita-2-is-unlikely-to-happen.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Don\u2019t hold your breath: A PlayStation Vita 2 is unlikely to happen<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to PlayStation Asia quotes the death of PS Vita\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/ps4\/80963-playstation-asia-quotes-the-death-of-ps-vita.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">PlayStation Asia quotes the death of PS Vita<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Permalink to The questionable Nintendo PlayStation prototype may be a fake\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/78216-the-questionable-nintendo-playstation-prototype-may-be-a-fake.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">The questionable Nintendo PlayStation prototype may be a fake<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And perhaps decide which franchises we see reborn in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":81784,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11681],"tags":[1969,1870,15964,527,4627,5476,623,15399,3943,973],"class_list":["post-81772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-playstation","tag-news-2","tag-playstation","tag-playstation-20th-anniversary","tag-ps-vita","tag-ps","tag-ps1","tag-ps2","tag-ps3","tag-psone","tag-psp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81772"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81782,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81772\/revisions\/81782"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
