In this article, The Exploding Barrel's Chris Taylor helps gamers better understand the differences between various versions of some popular multiplatform games, and gives his recommendations on which one gamers should buy.
Games covered include: Prince of Persia 3, Psychonauts, and Resident Evil 4.
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Includes savings on The Crew: Motorfest, Resident Evil 4, and much more.
I disagree with the platform recommendation on Psychonauts.
Psychonauts is free on the PC and plays very well with a gamepad.
Mods add- Mouse support.
Better textures
Better lightning
Adds HDR
proper keyboard controls
You can use trainers
Resident Evil 4 is the better choice on the Wii.The motion controls really contribute to the fun factor.
I really like this sentence "The game was then ported over to the PS2 since it had such a huge install base of like 100 billion systems or something."
More PS2's sold than humans on earth.
i prefer the GC verison of re4 O:
