The 25 games that defined 25 years of PlayStation

VG247: "The PlayStation has been around for 25 years this week, and so we’re taking a look back at the games that defined the console over four generations."

Venoxn4g2016d ago

okay, where is Metal gear solid 3?

telekineticmantis2016d ago (Edited 2016d ago )

It's crazy how many games that define PlayStation are not or No longer exclusive.

I hope with the celebration of the 25th anniversary Milestone PlayStation keeps their word, refocus on their legacy, and show how much they've affected the industry.

SOCOM-Had a record for most Online players at one time(Console before someone acts like a numbskull).

Shadow of the Colossus- Breath of the Wild

Little Big Planet- Mario Maker, MineCraft.
PS Analog stick- dual Analog Control

Twisted Metal- Rocket League

Uncharted-Action Genre

Etc..

MONOLITHICIDE2015d ago

Interesting about Rocket league. I didnt know that. Thank you for the link

2pacalypsenow2016d ago (Edited 2016d ago )

Where's Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4?

jreeves822016d ago

I would take out Resident Evil 4 and put in Final Fantasy X. To me Resident Evil 4 is know for gamecube or wii more than ps2.

CertifiedGamer2016d ago

I agree, it took about 2 years for it to port to the PS2.

jreeves822016d ago

It actually took 10 months. It came out in January 2005 for gamecube and October 2005 for ps2. And it was severely downgraded graphically for ps2.

Imortus_san2016d ago

Third party non exclusives games defined the PS1 and PS2? WTF, this list is just a big sloppy list.

And not in a good way! GOW 2018 was not what I was expecting either, and it blew me away! However this is like a popcorn fart in church.

Elda10d ago

I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.

RaidenBlack9d ago

Which 2.5D tho?
I think its a top down perspective game.

PassNextquestion9d ago

2.5D can be done in many different ways. It could be as simple as a size scrolling game with 3D backgrounds

Nebaku9d ago

Well it says "Metroidvania". I think you can derive which kind of 2.5D from that.

ravens5210d ago

🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.

jznrpg9d ago

This sounds very interesting. I love a good Metroidvania.

Deathdeliverer9d ago

Actually sounds good as hell in my imagination. Definitely interested.

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7264d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher64d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga64d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX64d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart64d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga64d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin64d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE63d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno64d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7264d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot64d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno64d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr64d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt64d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz64d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH64d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos64d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher64d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7264d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher64d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos64d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher64d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier63d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

Neonridr63d ago

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH63d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr63d ago

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6963d ago (Edited 63d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb64d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC64d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt64d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.
