No shitposting, not drama, just good PS1 games.

Alright, been playing pic related. Pretty rad for a somewhat early PS1 game. The house you play in is open, where you chose your world, which is open, which contains three levels which are all open. This was very flexible for a PS1 game. The controls suffer a little from the PS1-syndrome zoomer clunkiness where the camera will get stuck on corners and will just downright refuse to go where you want in some cases.
Still, enjoyable.

kek what was with every game feeling the need to call out mario around that time?

>>715848176
It was a time where Mario was all anyone had ever heard of so every new game had to punch up to it to get noticed. It didn't work, and where Mario lived on 40 Winks faded into obscurity like so many others.

>>715848340
Woaw what a unique and cool opinion.

>>715848176
Mario was THE MAN and the 90's were all about REBELLION

>>715847821 (OP)
surprisingly good 3d collectathon

>>715848509

I remember renting that for a weekend. Remember falling a lot off ledges and into water. Don't know if the controls were a little shoddy or if I was just a shitter.

I like it better than Twisted Metal.

>>715847821 (OP)
This was the last game I played (the pc version) before upgrading from my old xp compaq.

>>715848579
>From the Developers Who Know Vehicular Combat
this was a badge of honor in the 90s huh?

Spyro was one of my favorite games when it came out. I remember having just played FF7 but being blow away by how bright and colorful Spyro was.

>>715848058
I vaguely remember some pretty cool FMVs from this game.

>>715848509
I own a demo or something of this. Or maybe I borrowed it from a friend? Don't remember.

Off topic; but having played the English Translation of this, I can proudly say this is the worst Square game I've ever played in my life.

anyone emulated ps1 on a 3ds? im gonna try xenogears and koudelka soon

>>715847821 (OP)
>>715848621
I remember this game being INSANELY long. Like not only did it cover the movie it expanded upon it.

>>715849002
I kinda miss SE's psychedelic phase. Despite the game looking ultra-shit it was nice when they were experimental.

>>715849002
Damn, that bad? Also, that wasn't Square yet

>>715849296
They spent five entire levels in the river. Pacha even makes a remark about that.
>"This scene was much shorter in the film."

>>715849002
I played the fan translation too. Surprisingly dark for a PS1 game.

>>715849002
schizokino

>>715849556

I remember playing this AFTER Xenogears and thinking it was a big downgrade.

>>715849574
Oh yeah that's true! I also remember the some of the latter levels being in the imperial capital and you got to explore streets and markets and stuff. I always liked it when games would expand upon their origin, even if ENG kinda did drag it out a bit more than you'd expect.

Sheep Raider (or Sheep Dog n Wolf if you're eurotrash) was a surprisingly clever little puzzle-solving game. A friend of mine had it on PC which both looked and played better but beyond that it was pretty similar.

I like team buddies. It's a pretty unique take on a squad based shooter with a really intuitive control scheme for the time and one of those art styles that aged pretty well, especially with upscalers and shit. Get the PAL version for uncensored voice lines.

>>715848518
>Has all the making of licensed slop from the get-go
>Is actually a solid platformer
Traveler's Tales put out some bangers every now and then

All the good Final Fantasy games.

>>715848509
the sequel to this with Taz was hella good if you had a sibling to play it with

>>715850021
I remember the fight against the red monster being bullshit. I feel for all the kids who got stuck there and couldn't look up help online.

>>715850532
Not gonna lie I found the sequel incredibly boring. I suppose it could be fun with a friend, but I don't have those.

I know zoomers like to pretend its good now but this ate some fat shit when it came out.

>>715850845
>>715850845
I mean its fine in my book as long as its similar to the original and not like the Gameboy port of something even then some Gameboy ports were pretty good.

>>715850965
They say it's good because they played it for like 30 minutes when they were a kid and put it down before it goes bad.

It got panned by reviewers, but my brother and I had a lot of fun with it.

>>715847821 (OP)
-Tank controls much like Tomb Raider
-Good soundtrack + audio effects
-Inventory management (if you don't save your items you aren't beating the game)
-Hard as nails 3d platformer
-Secret areas
-Boss battles
-Sexy female protagonist
Only thing is the graphics suck, even for a PS1 title there's tonnes of disappearing textures and draw distance issues. Framerate drops.
Oh and the camera clunkiness but that's par for the course with PS1.

>>715849002
This is way better than Chocobo Racing.

>>715850965
honestly this: >>715851084
i remember beating the campaign (if you could call it that) and by the end it was so frustratingly bad i wanted to put my controller through a wall

>>715851478
Wild Star was high kino.

>>715851208
Looks rad.

>>715851619
That's Wild Arms.

>>715850514
TT felt like a company who would put in a ton of work no matter what task they were given.

>>715851316
To be fair, I've never played that myself. I'd give that a masochistic try though

>>715851208
>Oh and the camera clunkiness but that's par for the course with PS1.
This. Looking back it I think the best way to describe it is that the camera was usually in a fixed radius around the player, and you could adjust the angle and the position of the radius but never its size, so it crashed into corners and objects and all sorts of stupid shit.

>>715851691
looks autistic
i like it

I liked how two players can play two separate instances of the single player game.

>>715848518
This game fucks but man if it isn't hard as shit later on.

It's pretty cool game

True. I remember a bunch of 7th gen (PS3 was 7th, wasn't it?) games advertising themselves as THE Halo killer.

>>715848176
SM64 was the new hotness and everyone was trying to show that they could do it better.

Gradius Gaiden, of course.

Bruce Willis Apocalypse starring Bruce Willis, of course.

Bushido Blade, of course.

Blade Arts, of course.

This was the only fightning game I played as a kid besides Clay Fighter on the SNES.

Crime Crackers 2, too, of course.

Colony Wars, of course.

>>715858406
It even had dinos that never showed up in the movies. It was kino for a dino brat like me:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koNkwFvWOtk

Duke Nukem Time to Kill, of course.

>>715851478
Wild ARMs 2's script is absolutely fucked. It's hard to consider the game good with that consideration.

Ghost in the Shell, of course.

Gungage, of course.

Little Ralph, of course.

Goemon Uchuu Kaizoku Akogingu, of course. (ignore anyone telling you the 2D games are bad on PS1, even Shin Sedai)

Nascar Rumble, of course.

Pac-Man World, of course.

>>715850965
can you finish the campaign 100% by single player only?

Paranoia Scape, of course.

Pop'n Tanks, of course.

Raystorm of course.

Xena Warrior Princess, of course. (skip the N64 version.)

Road Rash 3D, of course. (Skip the 64 version.)

You can make a top 3 for every genre you like and have 10 different games that qualify for it on the console. Play Ape Escape, Omegaboost and Money Puzzle Exchanger.

Starfighter Sanvein, of course.

Cool puzzles, cool music.

Shadow Tower, of course.

I replayed the first medal of honor for the first time in like 18 years recently and once I got used to the game I started appreciating everything about it and had a great time.
I don't know what it is about the second game but I just couldn't get into it.

Silent Bomber, of course.

>>715848176
I mean, if you got a real quote from Nintendo Official Magazine saying that, wouldn't you use it. It's not like Xbox Official Magazine sucking off Blinx as a pseudo industry plant.

Tail Concerto, of course.

>>715859334
Make sure you set up dual analog controls. I personally use the d-pad for movement still because running at a 45 degree angle doubles your speed.

Gekido, of course.

Namco Anthology 2 - Valkyrie no Bouken, of course.

>>715848653
Omae wa baka degozaru
It's to do with the fact that SingleTrac were the original developers of Twisted Metal but got kicked to the crub due to a dispute with Sony. Presumably, there must have been some legal concern with printing "From the REAL/ORIGINAL developers of Twisted Metal" onto the box.

R4 - Ridge Racer Type 4, of course.

>>715859405
After getting used to them I actually liked it with the default controls and took it a bit slow. Each encounter felt more engaging but it was also clearly designed with that in mind so it never felt too difficult.

Worlds Scariest Police chases, of course. Which one is which? Nobody will ever know.

I have tons of good memories of playing this one. It was the first 2D platformer I ever played, even before any Mario games.
>>715859261
That was called Kula World in Europe and Australia, my mum loved it.

Brightis, of course.

So damn good. Here's hoping these Tamsoft fellas reach for even greater heights and continue to deliver!

>>715858852
Yes but it's RNG heavy

>>715867721
My nigga, this game was fucking kino even if the grapple was OP as hell

Great game despite being a copy of 2D Zeldas

>>715859341
Based, of all the hidden gems that exist that game is certainly one of the best

>>715858597
Best TPS on the console, the PS1 isn't known to have great TPS but still its quite entertaining

>>715849002
Not a Square game you dumbfuck zoom zoom, you don't even know that Enix and Square were two completely different companies before the merger

Anyway play Deception 1 and 2, great atmosphere and their game concept is still very original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVoQTpD_1sg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DNpRN3U8Zo

I love Einhander, Thunderforce V, Gradius Gaiden and the various Parodius games but this is probably the best shmup on the platform and imo the best game in the franchise

>>715848176
it happens all the time, there were mario killers, zelda killers, halo killers, CoD killers, even now people try to make fortnite killers despite it not being near as prevalent as it used to be because the industry tends to just dickride trends like crazy now instead of specific games

Tomba 1/2 are gems that aren't too popular.

>>715872645
Speaking of Tomba, how was the recent remasters?

>>715872690
wouldn't know, i haven't owned a console since the ps3. my life is all about mmos or emulating old games now.

Echo Night 1&2 are Fromsoft's stab at the horror genre
when the chuckle of a little girl or the tinkling of a bell fills you with dread you know they've done a fine job of it

EN2 requires a translation patch

dragon valor is also a little known gem

>>715872636

I loved Wipeout, was my favorite PS1 racer aside from Jet Moto.

Disney's Hercules Action Game
The Adventures of Lomax
Rayman is great (Hard as fuck tho)

Pandemonium and Pandemonium 2 are supposed to be good but i only played the demo on PC when it was released so don't really know

I remember enjoying the demo of the Disney Tarzan game a lot so might be worth a try

what the fuck, all these games look good

why did all these PS1 series die instead of becoming classics with lots of sequels like the big n64 games?

>>715848518
beat the PC version with a keyboard back then
the cutscenes are also how i basically "watched" Toy Story 2 for the longest time until i randomly caught it on TV

>>715873210
>>715873018
hey thanks i'm going to try them if they have retroachievements

>>715847821 (OP)
Literally never seen anyone talk about this, probably because it released around 2003.
It's fun. uses dual-stick controls in a way unlike any other ps1 game I've played.

Easy.

>>715858415
Hows the language barrier?

>>715873346
The only reason why you would build a series around an IP and make sequels for it is if the game sold well, back then it was quite common for good or great games to sell poorly while trash rose to the top, usually western trash, you could say that it still happens during our days but personally all i'm seeing is endless trash regardless of region

>>715873474

>>715872927

I'd be more willing to play Goemon games if they'd just let me play the whole game as the cute ninja girl.

Because the PS1 had a fairly large library, many games had small prints, many weren't really advertised much since so many people got their gaming recommendations from magazines or rental shops which typically only talked about the big names, many games weren't even localized and took literally 15+ years to even get translation patches, many games only got one game released in the west and then the others only came out in Japan or Europe (Which was and still sort of is a significantly smaller market, especially back in the day), and many devs just did one-off games without sequels in general.

Case and point (Sorry everyone for all the (You)s):
>>715872748 2 requires a translation patch, only 1 was released in the west.
>>715870873 Ace Combat 3's western version was worse than the Japanese version as it was missing a lot of content, particularly some added stuff from the Append Disc's save file.
>>715858964 Japan only and still doesn't have a translation patch.
>>715858920 Japan only.
>>715858357 Japan only and no translation patch.
>>715851691 Europe only.

I also don't know if this was just me but I knew far more people with N64s or even Dreamcasts than I did PS1s in America at least, and most of the kids around me primarily stuck to Nintendo handhelds over anything else.

So much kino I want to try, what the fuck is taking PlayStation plus so long to add shit?

>>715883490
Incredibly white post.

>>715884090
Is there a reason you just don't emulate?

>>715847821 (OP)
Absolute gem of a puzzler. Better than its sequels, which imo focused too much on fluff for kids. Everything in this game is tuned to perfection and this port sounds and plays the best.

>>715858307
Hell yeah

>>715858357
Is this a Souls like?

The coolest anime robot fight I have ever seen in the second level

That game absolutely captivated me as a kid. I didn't even "play" it. I just flew around the void for the weekend I rented it

>>715858757
Absolute ludo had no business being as good as it was. I loved the evolution of the cars from stock nascar to hot wheels esque turbo rockets

quite a nice game but combat gets boring fast. There is a fan translation for 1 and 2 I don't think they will do poporogue which sucks. Anyway its I recommend playing it it even has voice acting feels like a early Ni nu Kuni prototype.

My top 4 are probably Brave Fencer Musashi, Digimon World, Wild Arms 2, and Ape Escape.

bust a move 2
true pinball

Was surprised to find out that Japanese exclusive Wonder Trek recently got translated
This one was always interesting looking to me but I never expected for it to get a patch, haven't played it yet tho
