Unlike any other medium on the planet, the further back you go, the harder many "classic" video games are to pick up.
From once glorious, pioneering graphics to certain mechanics that only got perfected over time, yes, these games revolutionised the industry in a million different ways, but are they just as playable and enjoyable today?
In many cases, even the developers elected to revisit their finest work, upgrading graphics, reworking facets of gameplay and - in some cases - designing entirely different levels and ways to funnel the player from place to place, executing on that original vision in a way that technology just couldn't allow.
Although you should always experience the originals for posterity's sake, these remakes easily replace them in the pantheon of gaming overall.
Bounce back to Ratchet & Clank (2016) for its 8th anniversary! To celebrate, the Bouncer is now available to download at no additional cost.
They should update Rift Apart on PS5 it is broken we cannot finish it lost all weapons and even the ratchet...
I've got a platinum and done everything on two playthroughs have not encountered a bug like that
Will it happened to me.. and if you search people are experiencing it as well. Some suggest fix but didn’t work out for me ..
People disagree like i insulted their mother.. kids in here
"We?" Let's change to just "You" first before I can even take your comment seriously.
I wish we got dlc for Ratchet and Clank Rift apart. I want more content for that masterpiece of a game.
yeah, would be great to have a story expansion or something for Rift Apart. with the Rift and multi-dimensional travel, there is so much potential left on the table. but I guess with the Spidey games doing bonkers and next, Wolverine, it will be some times before we see another R&C. oh...and RIP Resistance!
I know I just wish Sony would recognize and remember such a great JRPG franchise.
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂
Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

“Hating”
No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies
But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.
Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.
I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?
I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy
That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
BLG writes, "There are many fantastic and iconic weapons in game history, but some are significantly more memorable than others. When we think of iconic game weapons, these are the top 20 that come to mind."
You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
You can pick up classic games just as easily as any other entertainment medium. I don’t see why that wouldn’t be the case in any other industry
I love MGS Twin Snakes and don't get the hate towards it
So many other classic I would love to see such as : R-type, Gradius, decent Contra ,Einhander etc...
I'm not sure you can call Star Fox and Ocarina of Time "remakes"... They are enhanced ports. A remake is making the same game from scratch. Adding better graphics and tweaking gameplay mechanics is not the same.
So you have to get an account on that site to see more than a few lines per page. Haha! Don't think so.
