Jack Oughton: Remember the golden age of the Playstation?
If not, let me help you out. It was the late 90s. Sony could almost do no wrong. Mobile phones were thick plastic oblongs with green screens, The Spice Girls owned the still-relevant popular music charts, and regular people were starting to get online a bit more with this thing called The Internet.
According to the European Union Intellectual Property Office, Sony has filed an application for “G-Police.” The application is filed under Class 9 for game software and Class 41 for online game software.
Yes, please! I loved that game back in the PS1 days! (not sure how well it stands up today though.)
Wasn't G-Police from the guys that made all the strike games with the attack helis?
G-Police was made by Psygnosis, who also developed Colony Wars and the early Wipeout games.
They were in the top echelon of PlayStation developers, and way ahead of their time for console gaming. Colony Wars is still one of the best series ever released on the original system, IMO.
EDIT:
I forgot to answer your question, NapalmSanctuary; the Strike games were developed by EA, not Psygnosis.
@thereapersson I was thinking of Future Cop LAPD, but I played the hell out of Colony Wars and thats probably why I've heard of this.
On a side note, it seems like the perfect time to bring CWs back.
G-Police I could care less. but...FUTURE COP L.A.P.D!! THIS is the game to be reimagined!!!
OtterX,
The gameplay still holds up, though slightly clunky, and the draw distance isn't the greatest. However, the game overall is still worth a playthrough, more so if you grew up during the days of the PS1 but never got to play G.Police.
Wish they had made it playable as a PS1 classic on the Vita. PS1 games always look and feel best on it, for me.
I'd buy it tomorrow if they made it available.
G-police is available on the Vita I played it about huh cant remember, but the store says it came out in 2007
PS1 games are getting "remasters" soon for P4.
Think small improvements + trophies. They are ging to reveal it in a bit less than a month.
O wow, not heard that name in AGES.. was a great ps1 game though, would make a great VR game I reckon.
Ken McKown writes: The From A to Z series lets our editors go back and take a look at games from past generations that are classics, overlooked gems, or just titles they remember fondly. The idea behind this is to pick five games from each letter of the alphabet, once a week to showcase. This delivers 26 weeks and 130 games to talk about. Hopefully it sparks some conversation, and of course plenty of memories.
Our first series will focus on Sony’s first entry into the console business, the PlayStation.
Let’s continue with the letter “G”.
Ah Gran Torismo! I remember playing the demo for it a ton as a kid. My father, who isn't even a gamer would even play it. He was into how "realistic" it as and how fun it was at the time. Good times!
But yeah, another great list of great games.
Zach of B-TEN discusses some classic Sony franchises that he'd like to see make a comeback.
Sometimes I question whether people actually played MediEvil. They act as if MediEvil was akin to that of spyro or crash. Did they forget MediEvil was actually gothic horror game? The main character died because he got shot in the eye with an arrow. An just happened to be brought back to life because an evil sorcerer decided to raise the dead to terrorize the land. Let's not forget the fact that you go around killing demons, undead and humans. If they do bring MediEvil back why would they make into a Pixar sort of story? That's not even what MediEvil is supposed to be.
I would LOVE to see MediEvil make a comeback this gen, that was one of my favorite games when I was a teen. They could do so much with it this gen, wouldn't be too shocked if that new 'From Software' game was a complete MediEvil remake, highly unlikely, but one can wish.
Agree entirely, however there was still a fairly cartoony style to it. The PSP remake went to far with it though. A remake never the less would be amazing to have, if done correctly.
Crash is for sure is my #1 most wanted franchise to return !

It could be very cool, but I think bringing Crash back could be a very difficult tightrope walk.
On the one hand if you modernize and change it too much, purists will reject it. If you do too little it'll be criticized as being little more than an HD remake.
To jump through all these hoops a modern Crash game would have to be a masterpiece.
Possible, desirable, but risky.
Syphon Filter (I agree totally with this one)
Omega Boost
Crash
Socom
JET MOTO 3 (I like the stunts)

I'm still dreaming of new generation Colony Wars game.
Same here, but the reason there's no plans for any because there NO DEMAND for it.

We, the gamers have to flood Sony forums with petitions and whatnot. Or at least HD-UP the 3 ps1 classics and G-Police 1 & 2 and bring them to PSN.
Dude, Colony Wars was the sheet.
