Graphically Impressive PS1 Games #2

[@emilabbaszade622]

4:28 Starsky and Hutch Love it!

[@Vertignasse82]

Every PS1 game looks good in high resolution on an emulator. Lowering the resolution on the emulator would be more representative of actual PS1 footage. I still love those vids btw! Keep em coming!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks mate! Plenty more on the way.

[@Vertignasse82]

@@thatvideogamesshow The intros to your videos with the music and the footage of the console which will be discussed in the video are absolutely amazing, and the nostalgia it brings makes me drop whatever I'm doing to go watch your vid. Definitely in my top KZbin channels.

[@mrelba9176]

I've just said this same thing. I love emulation, but what's the point in talking about "impressive PS1 games" if you're not going to present them at least CLOSE to what they look like on original hardware? Super irritating.

[@farmerfreakeasy]

And there was me thinking my copy of Soul Blade is never going to look that good, when i finally dig it out and load it on my PS3. Agreed, high resolution footage doesn't accurately depict PS1 graphics.

[@SerBallister]

To be fair we used CRT displays for our PS1's, which came with their own anti-aliasing and also handled interlacing much better. HDTV's and their crisp well defined pixels made low resolution look worse.

[@QuestionBlockGaming]

Great work! My only critique is that you used upscaled, higher-resolution footage to show off these games and how they're graphically impressive; I feel like showing them off at their native resolution would've been way more effective ^^

[@alanf8622]

For real.

[@NeoTechni]

Agreed. This is polluting/misrepresenting the results.

[@glom_gazingo]

Yeah. I'd undo this whole video and use actual PS1 footage. Not upscaled b.s.

[@Nebujin383]

It is even better if not just upscaled, but if PGXP Filters in DuckStation are active too. Makes every Game look even better, that you could call them Remake instead.

[@dreadmn]

Driver 2 was so impressive. Played that game for hours as a kid. Omega boost is a pricey game

[@osamaroum]

Tekken 3 and bloody roar 2 are impressive.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree, check out part 1 🙂

[@yx6810]

To be fair, the emulator enhanced image exaggerated the graphics of these games by a LOT.

[@djandreal]

I agree. Misleading footage.

[@vincentt2309]

Play rgb

[@design-dwg5785]

I was about to say this. PS1 was hugely impressive back in the day but if you played any of the games now in their original form you’d think the graphics were ass

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

Yeah the OG PS1 graphics look a lot different than when emulated, you get the dithering effect and the resolution is far lower, you see the individual pixels especially on straight moving lines.

[@TonyTonyRedgrave]

You're not getting an accurate depiction of these games without a crt or at least crt shader anyway.

[@IndohNintendo]

Great memories and nostalgia from playing soulblade with my cousin back when I was about 10 and he 13. Time flies, kiddies. Always try to appreciate the happy times.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Same here used to play it so much back in the day with my big brother. Good times!

Wipeout is always best in class on every playstation!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that! Such an awesome series.

[@chilly6470]

Absolutely. Even though it's a good few years old now, Wipeout Omega Collection is still one of the best looking games in on a decent 4K hdr tv.

[@shawn1984]

Oh, the nostalgia. Megaman Legends and Soul Reaver were two of my favorite games at the time. Great list!

Tekken 3 and soul blade always amazed me Oh man the grass in soul blade was amazing for ps1

[@bulloguin]

The video starts with Soul Blade, outstanding! I remember playing Soul Blade with four friends at home and having so much fun for hours on weekends. I’ve never thought that after Wipeout XL a better Wipeout game couldn’t possible arrive on PSone then suddenly Wipeout 3 did and blew my mind. Great video and amazing games as well. Thanks for the memories!

What about Silent Hill? It had great lighting effects for its time, and also thanks to the fog effects there were very few loading screens while exploring the town.

Dino crisis 2, so underappreciated. Great game!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that!

[@Kvn-yh9zz]

Dino Crisis 2 для мене є найулюбленішою грою на PS1. Не дивлячись на слабку начинку консолі, авторам гри вдалось створити чудову гру. Атмосфера джунглів, буйство зелені, покинуті людьми міста і різні промислові підприємства, швидкі, агресивні і неймовірно небезпечні динозаври, плюс великий і різноманітний арсенал, можливість стріляти на бігу, кілька міні-ігр, просто розкішні відеоролики. Взагалі гра по своєму сюжету і графіці дуже нагадувала науково-фантастичний бойовик 80-90-х років.

[@chilly6470]

Colin McRae 2.0 is very impressive. I also love how R-type Delta looks. Especially stage 3.

[@MsSirAndy]

You forgot Delta force Urban Warfare and Quake 2, these two really pushed the console at the very limit

[@josephzamer5802]

Glad to see someone remember Omega Boost, so underrated game, and very god by the way, great video as always

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks Jose, glad you enjoyed the video 🙂

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

I have Omega Boost installed on my phone right now lol, I love that game😂

[@francoaiello6930]

It's incredible how many of the most graphically impressive games on the system were also the beginning (or at least some of the first games) of successful franchises Soul Calibur, Wipeout, Ace Combat, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve, Soul River, etc. Gotta say the obvious thing but... what an impressive console it was the psONE!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree! The console that just keeps on giving!

[@brooklynboiprod]

Soulblade is so overlooked. One of my favorite games I also noticed you like Taki. She's my favorite in the series

[@SalivatingSteve]

Excellent video! I think PS1 games have held up much better graphically than N64 games. Image quality is much cleaner.

[@customsongmaker]

LOL! This isn't what the PS1 games actually look like on a PS1. Try setting up 2 of the same model TV next to each other, then compare Rayman for PS1 with Rayman for N64. The N64 looks like a hand-drawn cartoon, while the PS1 looks like a mess of broken lines. If you play a racing game on PS1, even the road doesn't look smooth. It looks like a road with severe acne.

[@tec5x5]

Own quite bit on this list Wipeout 3, Ace Combat 3, Driver 2, Omaga Boost, Soul Edge all great games

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Great collection!

[@Seki09]

Soul Blade along with Crash Bandicoot are the first two games I played on the PlayStation and they blew my mind at the time. They also stood the test of time. I can play them anytime without a problem while many other PS1 games just don't cut it by today's standards.

Soul edge and omega boost, are hugely underrated along with a few others on the list. These all are great examples of what can be done on the ps1 when in the hands of skilled developers.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree, those games are well worth playing!

[@xman777b]

Hello: new subscriber. This list disappointed me. My history with the PS1 dates back to 1998. In other words, first-hand knowledge. Very good call on 'Resident Evil 2', "Ace Combat 3' and Ridge Racer 4. However, these are 5 notable omissions: *Crash Bandicoot 1-3 , Fear Effect, Pac-Man World , Knockout Kings 2000* , and *NBA Live 99* . Sidenote: I was a huge Driver series fan. That said, Driver 2 was virtually unplayable due to graphical/performance limitations and doesn't belong in this particular video. You do have a solid channel. Take care.

[@fistofgods7043]

Legacy of kain : Soul Reaver would have been the ps1's god of war franchise.. The game had it all..: action, puzzle, history, new abilities,. etc. To me it's like Soul Reaver was a metroidvania 3d game.

I also agree

There's at least 5 in that series that I know of it not only was the legacy of kain but also became soul reaver then it joined together for the final battle with both original characters together🤔🌜

[@LordTenebrum]

I played Ace Combat 3 way too many times in my teenage days. It was AMAZING. It was super futuristic for its time. That's when I fell in love with Ace Combat series. And Megaman Legends was a game that it perfectly fits as a PS2 game. Good choice of games!

Ironically, Dino Crisis 1 being fully realtime 3d with dynamic cameras made it way more impressive than the "easy soup" of Dino Crisis 2, which had already been seen countless times in similar games

Love the vid, hate the misleading footage lol Although it looks great, it's probably best pointing out this is not what the games look like on the original playstation. They've clearly been enhanced with an emulator. The original games look far worse than what the video showcases

@Xenos just a clearer picture? Just play Resident evil 3 in the original Playstation and play it again at 1080p, they are two different games. In the video, that resident evil 3 is running with a mod that clears the prerendered environments. You can't reach that level with an emulador, it looks even better than Code Verónica on Xbox One.
