Fraser MacInnes reports:
''Jumping Flash was a bit of a white elephant among the PlayStation's clutch of launch titles. It's not that it wasn't a fun and well polished game but rather that it was... well, it was just so damn quirky.
As twee as any video game could get away with being (though more modern examples like Katamari Damacy and LocoRoco have since trumped it), in fact, and, strangest of all, it merged two genres successfully that had scarcely been proven in their own right on Sony's brave new hardware.''
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.
Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."
Sorry Crash, but there are quite a few other characters gamers would rather see back on the big screen instead of you. No hard feelings, eh?
Dark Cliud and Legend of Dragoon would be great. But imagine how Sony could do so well in the mobile market with games like these. They should have done what Nintendo did offering PS Now etc on a device that also plays cheap mobile games. Sony could easily rival Samsung!
I want to see Gex make a return. An HD/VR reboot of N2O: Nitrous Oxide would be cool.
I hate sites that make you click 10 times to read the "article". In any case, they should obviously bring back Colony Wars. They totally got it wrong with No Man's Sky.
Twisted Metal with lots of environmental destruction. For those that played the PS3 games, was it any good??
It was probably the least of the Jaffe TMs, still decent though. Better than TM3&4. I want a game like TM2 with the superior sound design of TMB.
Krikit of Gaming Rebellion looks back at early PS1 title Jumping Flash to see how it holds up when the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia are removed.
This game has been on my backlog since I first played it on the ps1 demo disc lol...
