Official Playstation Magazine UK listing 7 games that weren't released in the UK and giving the header "7 Playstation classics you’ve genuinely never heard of", WTF. I could go to Japan and say, I bet you've never heard of "Yorkshire Puddings" and get no as a response, but guess what, I won't bother. This is NOT news worthy.

GamerCheese4175d ago

Didn't notice til you pointed it out! Also, what's Yorkshire pudding?

Bimkoblerutso4175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

Unless I am wrong (and I am never wrong), it's a type of gardening tool.

Zichu4175d ago

They're great lol. Have them in roast dinners, made out of pancake batter and cooked in the oven until they rise.

Can't have a roast beef dinner without a yorkshire pudding.

pompombrum4175d ago

If anyone is confused as to what yorkshire pudding is, should see our festive mince pies :D

tgcorke4175d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't actually play any of these games until they decided to make an article about obscure games.

JellyJelly4175d ago

I've still played 3 of them :)

Bimkoblerutso4175d ago

Yeah, I've played the three on the list that were actually available in the US, and even then, I've only played the Neverhood on PC...because IT WASN'T AVAILABLE ON THE PLAYSTATION IN NORTH AMERICA.

What a dumb list.

Catoplepas4175d ago

Other titles aside, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Jade Cocoon, are both fairly well known titles.

Captain Qwark 94175d ago

indeed, played and loved both.

they should put carnage heart in there. it was such a unique, awesome, and challenging game

CalibriSerif4175d ago

what the hell? brave fencer mushashi?? seriously? it's like saying tomba is not popular.

MilkMan4175d ago

Played all of these man. Get your list straight. I think I still have Brave Fencer under my bed somewhere.

I would definitely enjoy a Xenogears remaster. Recently finished Legend of Dragoon again (this time with platinum trophy) and would love to dive back into Xenogears with Fei and the rest of the crew.

closed_account283d ago

Came here to say Xenogears as well. Great taste, raWfodog!

notachance283d ago

It needs more than a remaster though, I hope they can turn disc 2 into a full game..

Kneetos282d ago (Edited 282d ago )

I wonder how they would even handle a xenogears remaster

Would they give it to monolith soft (the original developers) to handle, and more then likely make it a Nintendo exclusive, cue the endless bitching from Sony fans...

Or will they do it themselves, thus not finishing the original story as intended

raWfodog282d ago

"... and more then likely make it a Nintendo exclusive"

I would think it'd eventually hit all the platforms much like the Front Mission 1st Remake. That way no one would be 'bitching' regardless of your platform preference lol.

Miraak82 282d ago

They don't need the original people , they already have the foundation of characters ,world and lore to work off of.
Honestly it's not that big of a game if you really examine it by modern standards , it's how they present everything that makes it seem so grand especially with how epic the story/music is . SE have good writers that could incorporate post release lore of perfect works and such if they ever remade it from the ground up.

gold_drake284d ago

"THE BOUNCER"

scares me everytime i play it haha

Godmars290283d ago (Edited 283d ago )

Maybe this time around it could be good/playable?

Becuzisaid282d ago

Lol! What a game. Had a lot of fun with it. Beat it multiple times!

Marcello283d ago

Square Enix classics? dont they mean Squaresoft. Square Enix dont make classic games, just games with pretty graphics, no heart & soul, boring & over stuffed with woke Gen Z cockiness.

But while were on the subject i would love too see a remaster of Front Mission 3.

ZeekQuattro283d ago

They already announced a Front Mission 3 remake. Doubt they'll also do a remaster.

Marcello283d ago

I will get the remake but i still want a remaster cos with all remakes they lose a lot of the original magic the original game had.

Godmars290283d ago

Pretty sure its going to be a remaster of the game, similar to what's been done with the first two games, not a remake.

FF7r is certainly more a remake of FF7 than a remaster for instance.

Now, if they did Gun Hazard remaster...

raWfodog283d ago (Edited 283d ago )

Yeah they call it a remake like "Front Mission 1st Remake" but I'd consider it more of a remaster as it doesn't change any of the core gameplay but basically just sharpens up the graphics. I think they added a couple of new features also but I still think it's more of a remaster.

Like @Godmars290 suggested, FF7Remake fits the mold of a remake since they 'remade' the game from the ground up, changing the battle system completely, and retelling the story with a lot of different elements added.

But I guess they can call it what they want since they're making it lol.

DeadManMMX283d ago

Exactly. SquareSoft merged with Enix shortly after Final Fantasy X and it has never been the same.

Gardenia283d ago

I miss the old Squaresoft games. So much quality back then.

Terry_B283d ago

Almost all of the listed games are not Square Enix Classics lol

AdventurerDonLocke283d ago

Quintet Gaia Trilogy: Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia & Terranigma.

15 Most Underrated PlayStation Games (PS1)

The PlayStation (PSX or PS1) was home to a whole load of amazing games. The system is arguably the best console for RPGs and helped revolutionize sports and shooter games. With such an influx of overwhelmingly great PS1 RPGs and other games, it’s only natural that a few would slip through the cracks.

I thought Dune 2000 was something I made up in my head. I used to ask my brothers about the sand level in Command and Conquer. The interface is like dead-on.

CrimsonWing69825d ago

I’m fairly certain Parasite Eve was not underrated. The game got a greatest hits release and is pretty fondly remembered to this day.

SegaSaturn669825d ago

The Quest Mode for Ehrgeiz is phenomenal. Really good looking ps1 game that benefits from modern emulation.

I find it weird Um Jammer Lammy being so unknown when I think it's much better than Parappa. It even has a secret second half which you play as Parappa himself, with rap versions of the songs.
However, while Parappa is famous and his first game even got a remaster, Um Jammer Lammy stays forgotten.
