PALGN: "As anyone will care to tell you, the faithful ol’ Playstation 2 was a console of varied pleasures, with a little something to appease fans of any genre. Those with predilections towards running, jumping, and collecting were particular well-catered for by the platform’s abundance of mascot-based platforming games (you know, those things which were all the rage from the days of the Nintendo 64 until the first-person shooting genre throttled gamers by the throat and dominated our collective consciousness). To wit, the Playstation 2 was graced with the Jak & Daxter trilogy (plus a later game not developed by Naughty Dog), a quartet of Ratchet & Clank titles, and, perhaps the most underrated of them all, the Sly Cooper trilogy, which may (whisper it) have just been the pick of the proverbial litter. Developed by Sucker Punch (of inFamous fame), each of the Sly games was a bright, charming platforming title with the aesthetic of a Saturday morning cartoon and the refined mechanics of Nintendo’s best forays in the genre."

I don't know why more jrpgs haven't stolen off of the addition system in that game it's really satisfying
Legend of Dragoon
Dark Cloud
Rogue Galaxy
Ape Escape
Syphon Filter
Sly Cooper
Twisted Metal
Folklore
Tiny Tank
@RPGer
its.... a good game, a really good game. but only if your into occult/fairytale stuff. but its definitely a watch/play :)
Yeah, give the crackball Jaffe some work. He may have went off the rails, but he is the father of both Twisted Metal and God of War.
Jumping flash VR
Warhawk the original on VR and the remake plus sequel
Folklore was top 5 RPGs of the PS3/360 era. Maybe Top 3... and we'll never see it again.
Id take a modern reboot on Brave fencer Musashi. Maybe a new Tenchu. Heavenly sword would be sick. Mention Klonoa and I might get a little excited too lol
Only reason I didn't mention Brave Fencer Musashi or Tenchu is because Sony doesn't own them. I'll take all the games you listed, they should all return.
I’m just shocked that Square doesn’t do more Remakes of older IPs. Xenogears and Parasite Eve would be killer... although 3rd birthday does make me lose faith in Square being able to make a decent Parasite Eve game, but if they treated it like Capcom treated RE2 then it’d be incredible.
Agreed. I'd love to see this come true but Xenogears and Parasite Eve aren't popular enough. Xenogears has an intense but small cult following. I'd rather see a new Xenogears but I'd definitely take a well-made remake or hell even a remaster with high definition sprites and environments. If they were to give it the same treatment as FF7 it'd probably take over a decade to make.
Parasite Eve might have more luck at a remake... especially if Square wants to ride Capcom's trend of remaking classic Resident Evil titles.
The Left Behind Game Club's Jacob and Moe look through everyone’s personal effects, dodge minions, and take down 5 bosses to retrieve a family heirloom in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.
Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."
