I feel like they figured it out at the end of ps1 with Tekken 3 and Metal Gear Solid. They figured out what worked and then transitioned which some is still felt to this day. Parappa the Rappa ultimately became guitar hero. Every Espionage game now is pretty much from Metal Gear solid. Resident evil lead to every other survival horror game which lead to PS making stuff like Onimusha. I'm honestly not sure whats out there now as I stopped gaming past ps2 but I found really great games to be few and far between on ps1 but when they were good...man they were good. I still don't think anything can top the first Metal Gear Solid.

God, yeah. I mean sure, some games stuck to familiar things. But there were so many games trying to do their own thing at the time. Pretty much early 360 days and before, people still tried to be unique with their games (not everyone, but still). Nowadays, most game releases are the exact opposite. With most companies just doing the "popular thing" to try and get fast money, while every so often a fun and unique game pops up.

I've always felt that rockstar's "the warriors" game was an under appreciated brawler, the combat felt very arcade-y but really heavy hitting as enemy's would become all bloodied and bruised the longer you fought them. I particularly enjoyed the mechanic were if you commanded your gang members to attack while you had an enemy grappled or if you attacked while your gang had someone grappled you'd perform these really brutal double takedowns with varying animations depending on which weapon was being used.

@zudy90674 жыл бұрын
Man, The Warriors was great. A little bit stiff on the movement side of things but everything else is great. And the bruises that appear when you take damage really does wonders to me. It made me feel like grounded to the earth, feels like I actually took damage, not coming out of a brawl unscathed like a god. And also can we talk about how all the characters voicelines when attacking is the same :') It was really surprising for the first time to hear someone like Rembrandt put out a voice like that

IMO the old red factions and timesplitters are the best FPS of all time, both for very different reasons. I liked the cartoony over the top characters and personalities in timesplitters and some of the funky guns like the injector etc aswell as game modes. And I LOVED the red faction mechanics of being able to manipulate ur environment by blow holes in walls, creating hiding places, shortcuts and finding hidden parts of the MP maps, they were by far my 2 favourite FPS

@swamdono4 жыл бұрын
I remember. Though not as fondly as you. For me it was the game that showed me just how bad the dreaded "escort mission" could be. The chaos and gunplay were fun though. I was thinking Psi-Ops would be too well known when I opened the video, but they put XIII and Onimusha on here that were far from ignored at the time 'or' more recently. So I'm not sure what they atually mean with 'ignored'. An actual ignored game I can think of is Riding Spirits. A Gran Turismo-like game but with motorbikes.
