Ken McKown writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our first series will focus on Sony’s first entry into the console business, the PlayStation.
Let’s continue with the letter “G”.
Ah Gran Torismo! I remember playing the demo for it a ton as a kid. My father, who isn't even a gamer would even play it. He was into how "realistic" it as and how fun it was at the time. Good times!
But yeah, another great list of great games.
The Independent: "It's hard to decide where to start with such a huge array of PSOne titles to choose from, so we've gone ahead and chosen five games that are worth a look."
Soul Reaver hell yes. i remember the first time i saw that game there was a trailer for it on the gex 3 ps1 disc. actually i still got the ps1 version of soul reaver case and everything, just like when i first bought it. def needs another sequel this gen or next gen.
I bought Fear Effect 1 & 2 a few months ago for like 9 bucks on ebay and from what I have played of the first game it blew me away how good it was. Maybe after I beat Yakuza 4 I will go back to it because I have so many games I don't even know what to play and I like playing 1 at a time unless it is a fighting game or something.
Wasn't it Fear Effect that used the revolutionary idea of streaming video off the CD for background animations?
Gribble,
Fear Effect does stream the environments. It's basically a stream on constant repeat or loop, hence the 4 discs.
The same devs also did Fear Effect Retro Helix which is an excellent sequel. The did Fear Effect Inferno for the PS2 but the game was never released. I am uncertain as to how far the development progressed before being canned.
I have talked about Fear Effect on this board several times. It's at the top of my list for a remake...as long as it's a true to form remake and not some money grab where the name is similar but everything else is out the window.
I didn't actually play the full game but from what I remember of the demo it wasn't dissimilar in theme to Dead Space? Or am I getting it confused with something else?
Fear Effect is amazing but it's 4 discs. Is it possible to smooth the pixels a little bit on Vita while playing PSone classics ? and are they playable on full screen ?
You can play it full screen by zooming in but you lose some of the screen and the graphics look a bit poo.
I suggest using the Normal screen because you can see everything and the graphics look much better.
Oddworld 1 & 2
Parasite Eve 2
Street Fighter Alpha 3
and many more...
There is a game called Heart of Darkness it had gorgeous graphics it never made it to PSN.
Just downloaded Parasite Eve 2 ( annoying that we don't get the first game in EU) but the graphics look great on the Vita screen you can tell it was a Squaresoft game with the running FMVs in the background while you play it kind of like Fear Effect.
I really hope they do a proper sequel one day on consoles, or the Vita would be nice and just forget the 3rd Birthday ever happened.
sadly enough i dont think a true sequel that will do the series justice will come at any time cause SE are "casualizing" all their games and we saw that with 3rd Birthday. Gorgeous graphics but too easy, no challenge no true overdrive system and pure action no RPG aspects no puzzles... I remember a friend of mine bought PE2 in Japanese cause we were soooo eager to put our hands on it and WE LOVED getting stuck cause we dont speak a work jap LOL..
That era is over now..... Nomura killed PE.

Evidence of deteriorating muscle tone, lack of cash for holidays and an impending midlife crisis? Probably, but screw it - "what" doesn't lead to such pretty pictures. Join me on a tour of various forgotten gaming environments, worlds I hope developers will revisit in the not-too-distant future."
G-Police. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. They'd need to sort out the obtuse controls though.
Yes, please! I loved that game back in the PS1 days! (not sure how well it stands up today though.)
Hoping this becomes real, next up Colony Wars please.
PS1 games are getting "remasters" soon for P4.
Think small improvements + trophies. They are ging to reveal it in a bit less than a month.
Next Eihander please D: !!
O wow, not heard that name in AGES.. was a great ps1 game though, would make a great VR game I reckon.
