Side-Scrollers Will Never Die

"As an aficionado of old school games, I hold the side-scrolling genre near and dear to my heart. With each new console generation, developers get more creative with how they handle this genre. I feel that the side-scroller genre is stronger now than it has ever been and is used in more creative ways than ever thought possible. Retro games had the formula right, but advances in gaming development has really brought new concepts to the genre and keeps it going strong..."

Trials HD is a side-scroller? Since when?

Also, isn't Bonk being tabled now, since Hudson Soft USA is no more?

Great list otherwise. Some of those games look mighty pretty indeed.

JoelT4826d ago

No matter how advanced things get with 3D this and millions of polygons that, side scrollers will always hold a place in my gaming heart. (tear)

booni34826d ago

I completely agree with that. It's an old concept, but there's nothing wrong with it, so it's pretty much a mainstay.

JohnColaw4826d ago

Allen I was wondering about Trials HD too, I definitely wouldn't call it a side scroller. It's a 2D game, but "side scroller" is such a weird term that could apply to anything really. Not a bad list though.

StickyDinosaur4826d ago

Aren't you the guy who wrote it?

thevokillist4826d ago

I seriously cannot wait for Hard Corps! Great read. Long live side-scrollers!

smashly4826d ago

JoelT4826d ago

Parasite Eve would be great.

Ratchet751281d ago

That's a square Enix franchise.

Minute Man 7211281d ago

Shhhh 🤐 don't ruin it for them

phoenixwing1282d ago

Legend of dragoon would be good.

Pughski1281d ago

If only. One of my favorite RPGs as a kid

phoenixwing1281d ago

I don't know why more jrpgs haven't stolen off of the addition system in that game it's really satisfying

Pughski1281d ago

It was just so damn fun. Everything about it I loved.

Relientk771282d ago

Legend of Dragoon
Dark Cloud
Rogue Galaxy
Ape Escape
Syphon Filter
Sly Cooper
Twisted Metal
Folklore
Tiny Tank

Hellcat20201282d ago

Folklore is a true hidden gem

RPGer1282d ago

Is it worth it for now? Or didn't aged well?

gold_drake1281d ago

@RPGer

its.... a good game, a really good game. but only if your into occult/fairytale stuff. but its definitely a watch/play :)

SamTheGamer1282d ago

Twisted Metal was so much fun.

roadkillers1282d ago

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.

1Victor1281d ago (Edited 1281d ago )

Jumping flash VR
Warhawk the original on VR and the remake plus sequel

SullysCigar1281d ago

Hell yeah, especially Warhawk VR!

Ulf1281d ago (Edited 1281d ago )

Folklore was top 5 RPGs of the PS3/360 era. Maybe Top 3... and we'll never see it again.

Ratchet751281d ago

Jak and daxter
Star hawk
The order 1886

jivah1281d ago

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

Relientk771281d ago

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.

Michiel19891281d ago

put Fear Effect on there as well, belong in that list with ps1 games ;)

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.

Ratty1282d ago

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.

lonewolf101282d ago

PE and Resistance for me off of that list.
