Stop Classifying PS Classics Games on PS4 & PS5 as Duplicate "Port" Entries
Why are some of the PS1, PS2, & PSP Classics titles being released on the PS4 & PS5 being given duplicate entries and being called "ports"? These games are not ports, they are the same exact game released on PS1, PS2, & PSP playable on PS4 & PS5 entirely through emulation. There is a layer outside of the game that allows the unlocking of trophies and save states, however the game itself is completely unmodified, anything extra is all being done through the consoles emulation layer.
Examples of this are Twisted Metal, Syphon Filter, The Legend of Dragoon, and many more

I beg to differ.
Even if I'm not sure yet if they are "real ports" or they are somehow emulated, I still see them as separate titles as the playing experience is different regardless where the "extras" are coming from.
We can discuss if they should be called "ports" or in some other way (but it would need a much broader discussion), but I think they should have a separate entry in the database.
