Cultured Vultures: We’re ranking every Sony PlayStation console released over the years, ranging from the handhelds that were far ahead of their time to home consoles that would probably sell today if they were still being manufactured.
In an industry with countless FIFAs, sorry EA Sports FCs, Sloclap’s Rematch is a brilliant arcade football game that feels incredibly unique. Putting players in the shoes of an individual player, the new multiplayer game is essentially Rocket League without the rockets and cars… it’s football.
TNS: Expedition 33 was the wake-up call Square Enix needed, telling it turn-based RPGs are still popular, but that shouldn't have been the case.
True, but if it does get it through their thick skulls, then that works.
Although, the Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD remakes will be turn-based and (the worst kept secret) Final Fantasy IX remake should be turn-based I would imagine. Let's see if any newer games go turn-based too.
While it is true that Sqaure Enix has moved away from turn based games compared to how they were in the past, there is a good reason for it.
Older gamers will know this but during the ps2 era, we were flooded with turned based games from Japanese studios and this created a form of fatigue back then going into the next generation.
When Square released FF13, they received heavy criticism for making the game turned based like every other FF game and not doing enough to innovate. This is why they made FF15, FF7 Remake and FF16 have real time combat. It gave the series a fresh spin and has brought in new fans to the series.
I personally would be happy with either turned based FF or the real-time combat version we see today.
Only need to look at their own game DQ 11 approaching 10 million to show there's a market. And that's not as big of a name as FF
Another article about Expedition 33 and Square Enix and turn-based games? This is starting to sound like propaganda.
The game didn't sell because it's a turn-based game; it sold and is enjoyed because it's a really freaking good game that released completed at a good price without gamer drama attached to it. No Mtx, no wait-until-it's-patched, minimal bloat, a self-contained story, no multiplatform BS. Just a solid original game that absolutely nails what it intended to do.
After going hands-on with Invincible VS, I can tell you it is just as brutal and gorey as fans of the show or comic might hope for!
Looking forward to this game!
Made by KI developers. One can clearly tell that they´re bringing some KI mechanics to Invincible VS.
I have fond memories of all of them. I'd have to say my personal #1 is the PS3. It still holds up today unlike PS1 and PS2 which both had excellent libraries of games but many of which did not age all that great. which is why in the PS3 era we were introduced to HD remasters.
The PS4 was the better seller, but i feel it didnt take as many risks to get that reward as the 3 did. And obviously the PS2 was the popular one that gave birth to many of my favorite franchises (killzone, GoW, Ratchet) but like i said above, those games were remastered in HD for PS3.
PS5 is still in its growing phase but i do like how it makes 4 games better. I keep holding out hope they will enable PS3 support for discs then it would probably be my new #1. PS1 is the grand daddy, but sadly it just doesnt hold up in in the current conditions. Especially the 3d games, i have no nostalgia for those anymore thanks to being able to play them in better (higher) quality in remaster or even emulation. When even a Dreamcast can make a PS1 game look and play better... why play them on the PS1. PS1 did have some awesome shmups though..
PSP and Vita... both excellent portables and i would say i like the Vita more due to it being able to play the plethora of PSP games (converted to digital) as well as the PS1 classics and Minis that the PSP could do but also its own selection of games. Vita had the better screen, better controls and is just a better all around PSP than even the PSP.
They were all great for their time.
PS3 had a slow start but I was playing my PS1/2 collection on the fat and it hit its stride and released some great games.
I would have to choose PS2 as the best.
Honestly, they were all great. Even the Vita which is considered a "flop" is quite a gem.
I love them all but PS2 takes the cake as best console of all time for me.
