Crowdfunded games: When we talk about new game releases, it can be easy to get caught up in the spectacle of AAA releases.
The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)
First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..
@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
Cinnabunny and Time is Honey are currently up to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter right now. They're both adorable.
They list Pillars, which is awesome. But how do you list that, and then pass over games like the original sim series? Even Wasteland 2, while a bit janky, was huge for so many people.
Outside of that, Kingdom Come: Deliverence is an amazing experience to come out of Kickstarter. It took some post launch patching, but it's one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and I put it alongside games like Planescape: Torment, Morrowind, New Vegas, and Witcher 2/3.
I'm ashamed at myself for forgetting 1-8 were Kickstarters and how awesome that platform can be when put in the hands of the right developers.
On a personal note my fav personal Kickstarter game is Bloodstained Ritual of the Night loved every bit of that game.
