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..

Captain Qwark 94077d ago

1, 2, 3, 7, 8, were pretty accurate. the others not so much. resident evil should def be on there, thats a no brainer.

HammadTheBeast4076d ago

Legend of Dragoon, FF VIII AND VII and IX I think. Also Spyro and Crash were awesome. I remember not having a memory card in the early days and leaving my Playstation on for 2-3 days to finish games. Oh the days of no overheating.

guitarded774076d ago

Yeah, Resident Evil and Gran Turismo need to be on that list. They helped define the PS1. Syphon Filter was a huge franchise for the PS1 also. Maybe not a defining series, but Driver was ahead of its time.

-Superman-4076d ago

Spyro the dragon, i miss this game.
Ape Escape loved PS1 version, too bad they wont making new games.

Tomb Raider, this was so good.

NukaCola4076d ago

Oddworld Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus

These two master pieces never get old and have stood the test of time in every way better than any game I have ever played. Can't wait for New & Tasty...!!!

jony_dols4077d ago

Medievil may be a pretty obscure series to most gamers these days.

But that game was amazing...Bring back Dan, Sony!

T24077d ago

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

Sidewinder-4077d ago (Edited 4077d ago )

Croc was a top PS1 platformer. And the music...the MUSIC!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Goes well with Crash, Spyro & Rayman imo.

Nice list ;)

I_LOVE_MYSELF4077d ago

I loved Croc as a kid, but I have come to realise it is quite average. Weird looking back on games I loved as a kid through an adults eyes.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4077d ago

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.

contradictory4076d ago

why do you think you would be hated for that?
i can't think of anyone who would really disagree with that too much

I_LOVE_MYSELF4076d ago

Usually my opinion is hated lol. I don't think Dave Mirra and WWF really define the PS1 as much as Soul Reaver or Syphon Filter etc, but they were just my childhood games. I felt they just fit in to "my" list rather than a list that defines Playstation.

There is usually one person who has to be like "omg, you put Dave Mirra over Abe, Soul Reaver, Syphon Filter, Rayman," etc etc.

HammadTheBeast4076d ago

Dude those are awesome. Tekken II was the one I played.

“While we haven't even begun to tap into the full potential of the PS5“

We always here this statement yet we have plenty of games that struggle to run at solid frame rates or decent resolutions.

Skuletor18h ago

The developers should know the limits of these consoles, especially this far into the gen. I'd blame them and possibly the publishers, pushing to make games as visually appealing as possible at the cost of resolution and frame rate, which is nothing new in the industry.

Diablo IV is Available on PlayStation Cloud Gaming - Beats Xbox to the Punch

Diablo IV is now available to play via PlayStation Cloud Gaming! Still not available to Play on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

We ran our script again and found 15 other PS5 games (a lot of popular ones!) that got PS5 Cloud Gaming support within the last month as well.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k43d ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas3d ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k43d ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas3d ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows903d ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider16243d ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k43d ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan3d ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka3d ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing693d ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto3d ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander19722d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast3d ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows903d ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast2d ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k43d ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows903d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast2d ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 3d ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers15d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken14d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g14d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing14d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H914d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola14d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66914d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle14d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
