When it was announced that Final Fantasy XIII was to be released on the Xbox 360 nerds threw a shitfit. Gamers are a naturally selfish and inclusive bunch. We don’t like other people touching OUR things! If you want to play Mass Effect, you damn well better buy an Xbox. But how did we get this way? In the old days a game would come out for every platform imaginable. Sometimes completely different developers would make games for different consoles, yielding a unique game all its own. Kids on the playground would talk about the level 3 boss and you’d have no friggin idea what he was talking about.
Video Gamer writes: "There's a rogue underworld of devs operating clandestinely, still creating Game Boy games. We've spoken to one of them."
The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.
I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.
And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.
With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.
The Genesis version was way better. The animations were better and the overal gameplay mechanics smoother IMO.
Agreed, sir
