OPM UK writes: settle down class, and welcome to a PlayStation history lesson. We look at the games that helped the PS One rise to dominance.
See how the franchise and console intertwined over the years.
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
Tekken's enduring popularity is owed in part to its varied and well-written cast of characters, and the lore behind them really brings them to life.
Basically all Tekken 1 standard characters except Michelle, + boss Heihachi Mishima and maybe Kuma. Also Lei and Jun from Tekken 2, Hwoarang, Eddy,Xiaoyu, Bryan Fury, Mokujin, Jin- from Tekken 3. After that they added many more great characters but none of them used to be as fun and interesting as the fleshed out initial ones from the first 3 games. Tekken 7 was really weak when it came to new characters.
And to be honest..that "article" that does not even have Yoshimitsu in it looks like a cheap excuse to have the keyword Tekken 8 on the website.
I think Resident Evil 1 is the most important, released in 1996 it was the first grown up game released.
Some good picks, but I would like to add Crash, Spyro, Rayman, Twisted Metal and Tomb Raider etc.
That's an awful list by OPM. 1) Gran Turismo. 2) Crash. 3) Spyro 4) Oddworld. 5) Tomb Raider. 6) Wipeout. 7) Rayman. 8) MediEvil.
Lmao!
Such a trash list.
& why does it seem that people are afraid to mention Metal Gear at times?
Metal Gear Solid evolutionize what was possible not only on the PlayStation, but in video games as a whole.
A game that is self-conscience of the gamer playing.
Getting your key card hot or cold.
Switching controllers.
Tons of Easter eggs & secrets.
All of these things has changed how gamers see & play games.
I would replace Tekken with the 1st Battle Arena Toshinden.
