Sony's PS4 has recently been announced. In anticipation of the upcoming console, the first of We Know Gamer's new Top 10 features will be dedicated to PlayStation's past as we take a trip down memory lane and take a look at some of the gems that made the world fall in love with the console that started it all for Sony's video game endeavour.
With all the PlayStation games that are now coming to PC, is it time for Sony to release a dedicated PC launcher?
Unless they are trying to kill their recently created PC business, I would advise against opening a dedicated PC store. It's an extremely hard endeavor, and people, in general, are very comfortable with Steam. Even Epic, with their billions of dollars invested, is still struggling to find a foothold, and they have Fortnite.
Can tell who ever put this together is not all that clued up on pc gaming.
It's just a known fact. The PC gaming community prefer Steam and Steam alone. They don't like different launchers. I personally don't mind them. But majority just stick with steam. Hence why EA and Ubisoft went back to on releasing on steam and why Microsoft release games on steam as people hated buying from the windows store.
The only other launchers that I imagine are doing ok is GOG due to being drm free and epic games due to the free games every week. Sony shouldn't release any sort of pc launcher n
This is just another ridiculous double standard article.
It's like how Microsoft can spend 20 years of making nothing but gaas and live service style games to sell microtransactions, dlc and subscriptions and get praise for doing it, but if Sony wants to make a single game like that every website under the sun is writing articles saying how Sony is anti-consumer or whatever.
"Driver was a technical achievement for PS1, a pioneer in cinematic gaming, and an often brutal challenge - TechStomper asks if its brand of 70s car chase antics still holds up."
Sadly youd be hard pressed to find any driving game with better physics these days. But the draw distance really kills it for me
Gran Turismo for PlayStation launched a sub-genre and revolutionised console racing - TechStomper asks is it still worth playing in 2024.
I'm not big into sim racing, but I got sucked into the hype for this one from magazines back then. I just played arcade mode and that was enough for me to feel like I got my money's worth.
Yeah, it's definitely worth playing today. GT 2 has a few interesting fan made graphical mods when played on an emulator as well.
Cars back then had much more personality then those we see today. Modern cars all about the led lights and the tablet size screens and they all seem alike, back then they could be simpler in design but had tons more personality.
That Corvette Stingray to this day is one of the most ferocious whips ever driven. Overpowered against other cars yes. But to drive it and be that close to losing control, but being in command around those curves, just can't be duplicated.
HiFi mode is also something I miss. There should be a mode in today's GT where it's Mano o Mano and the detail and resolution jump full throttle. In today's games, Max Ray Tracing and lighting and textures to make it look even more real..
Not according to Former Playstation president Jim Ryan for he told Time that he doesn't see why anyone would play old games given the advancements in fidelity achieved today.

Dino crisis & not resident evil huh? I find that hard to believe.. The rest seem pretty accurate however i know Gran Turismo, RE, Silent Hill, Castelvania, & many others contributed much more than Dino Crisis..
Medievil may be a pretty obscure series to most gamers these days.
But that game was amazing...Bring back Dan, Sony!
Good list but no wipeout does not compare to gran t. The depth and quality just had never been seen before ... Resident evil was also great in the day
Croc was a top PS1 platformer. And the music...the MUSIC!

Goes well with Crash, Spyro & Rayman imo.
Nice list ;)
My opinion will be hated because I was a kid at the time, but these are the games for me.
Crash
MGS
Tomb Raider
Resident Evil
THPS
WWF
Tekken
Final Fantasy
Ape Escape
Dave Mirra
They are the games I used to play the most. They made the PS brand what it is FOR ME... not in general. I loved going through my extreme sports phase with the PS1 games.
