Cool pixel art of the original PlayStation, PS2, PS3 & the PS4.
The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)
First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..
@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
With so many games on the PS1, here's a list of underrated classics for you to try out! The games that you should play at least once!
I feel slighted by that. With the exception of Air Combat... I've also played all of these games and beaten them (except Fear Effect).
Not all at launch, of course. I don't really remember if I got any that early on.
"A lot of these" = Not ALL of them...
Air Combat - Ace Combat 1
Fear Effect - The sequel is more of a hidden gem
Vagrant Story - Probably the best looking PS1 game of all time and constantly brought up
Dino Crisis - Constantly asked to be remade. Especially now that Capcom is on a Remake warpath
Persona 2 - Seriously?
Parasite Eve 1 - The sequel is more of a hidden gem
Soul Blade - Only the Soulfreakingcalibur prequel
Are in no way shape or form "hidden gems". Great games for sure but hardly hidden. Some of these are prequels to highly famous or regarded series and the others are constantly being talked about and petition for sequels/remakes to be made.
Here's 10 from my list of hidden gems:
The Divide: Enemy Within
In Cold Blood
Echo Night
Loony Tunes: Sheep Raider
Blaster Master: Blasting Again
MDK
Rising Zen: The Samurai Gunman
Vanark
Silhouette Mirage
G-Police 1 & 2
Extra:
Policenauts - Because reasons...
And there are many more.
MDK!
I loved MDK! I had it for Dreamcast. Clever use of face buttons in place of an absent second analog stick.
Great list, by the way, mate.
Also you can name drop persona 2 but it wasn’t til 3 that the series took off. Persona 2 peaked at #60 in Japan where it’s most popular.
I liked the style of the original Oddworld games, Alien Trilogy was a little underrated as well IMO.. Basically a lot like Doom but with aliens. There were a lot of great games on the PS1 though.
Here's my top ten hidden gems.
Silhouette Mirage, Threads of Fate, Koudelka, Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Tail Concerto, Blasto, Silent Bomber, T.R.A.G, Trap Gunner, and Tiny Tank.
All great hidden gems that I 100% recommend.
DuckStation emulator for PlayStation 1 can now employ rollback netcode, letting you play games like Tekken online with 6 frames of rollback.
Aww they're so cute ^_^
Nice art!
I want
Epic!
