PE was objectively really good. It's like FF8 but with one character and it's creepy. Played it for the first time 2 years ago and it was the best thing I had touched in a year
>>337612276

Well, best racer is definitely CTR.
Ape Escape or Rayman are definitely my favorite platformers.
Not that Crash series and Spyro doesn't have their place. I kinda dislike Crash Bash though.

Either FF VII or FF Tactics, honestly. Even if you're not a fan of the series, you have to admit that both are the best of their respective genres.

>>337612706
i cant pinpoint how, but no game has even come close to the atmosphere of TR1 at release.. it really felt like you were going into and exploring a strange, desolate place, which was lethal but also had hidden beauty and treasures to discover. some parts were scary, others puzzling.
maybe it was the great narrative-gameplay linking, because you really had to think out your climbing else you'd slide into spikes or die, and you'd really get worried you might run out of oxygen when swimming through tunnels and you're excited to see the next area, but also afraid to explore further..
ironic because the reboot had tons of narrative dissonance

>>337614669

>>337611309
Digimon world 2.
Maybe you had to be alive back in the dark ages of gaming to enjoy PS1 games. I've tried with emulators. They look like garbage and play like shit. It's like trying to watch silent movies. They're all lame and boring. Have to go to the 6th gen before anything is decent enough to play. Some 4th gen games are okay.
>>337614251
>had great gameplay
Cars instantly stopped dead in their tracks if did so much as touch a wall for a microsecond, bumping into other cars did nothing other than just wobble them like jello without losing control at all, opponents were locked on rails and would push your shit left and right with ease if you crossed their path even once.
There was barely any sense of speed in it either, japs can't make a racing game to save their asses. It just feels like you're going for a casual drive around the city, rather than an actual race. Many other games had better hype than R4, like Wipeout, CTR, Rollcage, San Francisco Rush, and the list goes on.
It wasn't that bad of a game, it had almost everything to be GOAT. It had character, but when you got to actual gameplay, it was just kinda "meh" compared to other games of its time.
The fucking shit
>>337614860
>I meant in context of the PSOne era.
Then you shouldn't have said "of their respective genres."

It's a classic case of almost everything 3D kinda aged like shit because they were still figuring out the controls and framerate could tank. Keep on mind PS1 gamepad didn't originally have analog sticks so games were built around that.
>>337611309
Ape escape
>>337615072
They really did major things like replacing 3D fights with sprites for the sake of keeping the flow. They also re-balanced the game.
>>337614669
WHOA WHOA WHOA
There was a spinoff? I don't seem to ever recall BFM getting a sequel/spinoff unless you're mistaking it for Threads of Fate or something.
Chrono Trigger was ported to the PS1, so that wins by defaut. But it was kind of a shitty port with fucked up load times, so I'd have to say RE2 actually wins.

Don't get me wrong, I love FFT. I've done about a dozen SCCs and/or Double Dares, and I've played v1.3.
But as-released on PS1, the game's got some serious flaws, both in the ridiculously bad translation and just how quickly the job class system utterly breaks the game.
If you're not curbstomping your enemies with ridiculous ease by mid to late Chapter 2 (outside of broken fights like Weigraf/Velius and the Rooftop Elmdor fight), you're doing something incredibly wrong.
It had the framework to be a great game, but didn't capitalize on it.
I still play this to this day.

That's because PS1 games came out during a time when Sony was pushing 3D over 2D hard, and the PS1 wasn't equipped to handle 3D very well at all.
There are plenty of sprite-based games like SOTN which don't look like ass and use the increased power well.

>I just can't take pixels seriously.

To use your example, strategic save crystal use in TR was a good design choice.
In St Francis Folly, there's this sort of hub area with a huge collumn in the middle and only a couple of save crystals.
It made the gauntlet rooms and the climbs up and down the pillar much more tense.

OP here, very nice choices! In my opinion, there are so many amazing games to list for the PS1, but I have to say the ones that I enjoy are these (not in any particular order): CTR, Crash Bandicoot 1,2, and 3, Tomb Raider 1, and 2, Spyro 1, 2, and 3, Silent Hill, etc There's just too many to list here, the PS1 is a goldmine when it comes to video game classics!

It's not good design to limit a feature that's not part of the game itself. Having limited saves it's like limiting the amount of times you can press X. You press X too many times and then you can't press it ever again. EVER.
Does that make sense to you?
>>337611309
My favorites are the Spyro games but I can admit Metal Gear Solid is the best game on Playstation. It blew my mind the level of detail and love put into that game.
Anyone else play this classic?
>>337616381
my fav console as well. It brought so many new and fresh ips with fantastic gameplay with many memorable characters and games. It might be the nes of the 3d era but with a lot more variety in gameplay.

I get what you're saying, but this was from a different time.
Saving wasn't a common feature on consoles prior to the 5th gen. You played a game expecting to finish it in a single sitting.
This was a nice transitional feature into the pickup-putdown mentality we have about games now.
Limiting button presses is a false equivalency. Name me a single game that does that and I'll eat my hat.
>>337616852
Rally Cross?
Rip 989 studios. Rally cross 2 was great in the day.
>>337616637
Not him, but there can be purpose to seemingly arbitrary limitations, particularly to increase tension. There's one game (I forget what its called) where you have to make sure the coast is clear before you save or you would be caught off-guard and die when you reload. It's stuff like this that actually adds to the game in creative ways.

That's nostalgia considering it's the same game with worse graphics and no cutscenes.
Why does the PS1 have the comfiest games of all time?

You can if you read the recap on the soul reaver 2 options that tells you everything that happened. I still recommend playing the original if you can
>>337619220
Did Blood Omen finally get out of licensing hell on pc?
>>337614420
I like all of the PS1 TR games. Things were really atmospheric indeed, and the places you visited were always quite interesting. The silence and sudden tracks were also nice. It was always a special moment when a track start playing. Some of the places were really peaceful too, and at the same time you knew the game could suddenly get your heart racing at any moment.

>>337619709

OP here, this thread has been a thread of nostalgia, agreement, disagreement, and the evolution of gaming itself!
