Been collecting PS1 games few months now, there's some kinda rude bugs - but fuck me are the games good looking and actual FUN. There's so many interesting ideas.
For me, it's the 3D
Mogged in its complete entirety by a single Saturn title

>>12594605>>12594618Klonoa has SOVL. Tranny clown got nothing on it.

>>12594572PS1 was in a crazy sweet spot for presentation. Pre-rendered was so good for games. Getting to know those worlds was the best reward the games had for me>>12594646inb4 autists hating on this incredible game
>>12594646>Reddit Lagoon
PS2 was such a downgrade in soul it's unreal
The most gorgeous 3D visuals on PS1I remember spending hours looking at the environnement in first person
https://youtu.be/hg8UzFL_4LU?si=-8SyplP-kPxvId8D one thing i love about the PS1 era is that anime were still hand draw cell animated so you got tons of 90's style anime opening which are incredibly soulfullPS2 era there is almost no CGI/anime/live action intro,at best you got an ugly 2000's digital anime style opening
>>12594646Too bad the racing part is so weak.
>>12594572>more than half of it is jarpig shitI'm tired...
>>12594819reminder that tony hawk's pro skater 2 is a deeper and more fun game than 99% of shmups, with more complex routing and execution requirements
>>12594819
>>12594586threads of fate mogs the rest so hard its unreal
>>12594646>everything is amazing except the core gameplay: the game
>>12594847Soul reaver is more impressive,huge world without loading time+morph between 2 world in real time
>>12594858and it looks like grimdark garbage compared to threads of fate beautiful vibrant world
>>12594893It's a stylistic choice , Soul reaver is dark fantasy the graphics works very well for this game

>>12594646I love how the PSX has one of the deepest libraries in gaming. You could live to the age of 100 and still not have found every PSX hidden gem.
>>12594741one of the prettiest in terms of games that are fully 3D, though mostly for art direction and texture work rather than being particularly technically impressive.the most technically impressive psx game i've seen is i'd say terracon. the cutscenes look incredible, and the draw distance is massive. the lens distortion effect it does is something i didn't think you could do on psx.
>>12594639>this one i don't knowlegend of dragoon
>>12595928The texture and architecture detail pop-in is quite disturbing in Terracon however. It's like in Spyro but x10.
>>12595947yea, i still prefer the look of spyro overall, it has better art direction and more graceful handling of things coming in and out of full detail, spyro's framerate is also more consistent but i understand you have to excuse some frame drops when looking at games that push the limits, like people don't say shadow of the colossus is bad because it chugs a bit (or maybe some do but i haven't seen any)
Soul is having GTA three years before GTA 3.
>>12595958cool thing about psx threads is that you learn of new games every time
>>12595958i assume you mean a 3D GTA game, psx had GTA 1, London 1969, and 2
>>12595965GTA1 and 2 are 3D too

>>12595985kinda sorta not really. it's like the opposite of the doom arguments. while gta1/2 are actually 3D in terms of technology, unlike doom, the gameplay is obviously 2D, unlike doom
>>12595998>specifically leaving out Crash 1>including all that other shovelware bullshitfucking kys retard, it's the best in the trilogy by a significant margin

>>12596112no it is isn't.>>12596348Tormented Souls isn't pre rendered but the fixed cameras make it so many environments are as interesting as classic RE
Honestly I never got this meme at all. PS1 had a few great 2D games, and jarpig if you like jarpig. The rest? It's whatever, quantity over quality. Most 3D games suffer terribly from typical 5th gen issues: fixed camera, tank controls, overall lack of polish, etc.. That said, I think 5th gen in general was mediocre when it came to 3D, only N64 managed to do fine there, but it had few games as a result.I cannot in good faith recommend most popular PS games to anyone who "wasn't there", especially zoomers. MGS, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill, Syphon Filter, Crash were good FOR THE TIME, but today they will feel dated, and I've seen countless people who were filtered by their controls / camera / slow pace / whatever. Gran Turismo, Tekken 3, THPS etc. don't suffer from this, but there's almost no point to going back to them today when newer games exist. No Tekken fan plays 3, no racing fan sticks to GT1.3D simply got better in 6th gen, in anything from action to sports to FPS to racing; it's not even a question that nothing on PS compares to GTA trilogy, RE4, DMC3, Halo, and so on. 2D on PS was ok, but obviously it was not as big as on SNES/Genesis. And arcade genres like 2D fighters / beat 'em ups / SHMUPs were better on arcade, maybe also Saturn for SHMUPs.PS was an epitome of "quantity over quality" and "you had to be there", it had games in every genre but few of them hold up. And no, I'm not implying Saturn or N64 were much or any better, 5th gen had too many problems in general, chasing shit 3D instead of good 2D.
>>12596945>fixed Camerabetter than free cam. Freecam takes level design away. You sound like a faggot who plays open world ps5 games.>rank controls as a bad thingYou're bad at video games.>lack of polishbaseless.>MGS, silent hill, crashI know multiple zoomer who like these games and played them in recent years.You're a casual who's barely touched a video game. Darius Gaiden, Harmful Park, Parodius 5, Bloody Roar 2, Ehrgeiz, Bushido Blade 2, Ape Escape, Crash 2&3, Spyro 1-3, Aconcagua, LSD, Policenauts, Alundra, Brave Prove, Community Pom, Legend of Mana, MM Legends 1&2, MGS 1+VR, Castlevania Chronicles/Symphony, Mega Man 8, X4, Oddworld Oddysee/Exodus, Rollcage 1&2, Res Evil 1-3, Silent Hill, Parasite Eve 1/2, Deception 2&3, I.Q, etc...These are all 9/10 and 10/10 for anyone who likes the genre. Younger gamers interested in the respective genres end up loving these. You're just bad at video games and haven't even played many.
>>12596945>I played mgs1 for 5 seconds and got mad because the controls weren't the same as assassin's creedYou need to go back
>>12594572I am not surprised so many think this way about retro gaming or in this case the PS1 in particular. I would say the entire 5th gen was special because it was the first gen where the main competitors decided to go mostly all in on 3D. So this gen had a lot of games that didn't always end up being as great as they could be in terms of playability and they could often be too obscure in mechanics for their own good. But then that is what made this gen feel so different from everything that came afterwards. These devs were making all sorts of games and seeing what was sticking and what wasn't. They didn't even fully grasp how cameras should work until a bit into the PS2 gen. And this doesn't even get into the unique looking visuals that these 32-bit games had that makes games look so distinct. A cool mix of details but also a lack of details. Devs had to be really good to make anything compelling that people would care about.
>>12596279>translation when?When you get off your ass and do your reps.
>>12594586>>12594582Recently discovered this game Tunnel B1 and it is some of the most fascinating and interesting level design+movement I've seen in a game. I know it's akin to Descent but it feels more refined and cool imo. I emulated it on Saturn because it has slightly cooler graphics but that was a poor choice. The controls are awful and apparently it feels much better on PS1 so I just switched over
>>12595769TRVKEEvery time I look at my rom folder I see some random game I don't remember downloading that looks amazingAnd we don't even have all the games yet! We need mermanoid translated. Dark atmospheric JRPG, set deep underwater in a crumbling Atlantis where mermaids are at war
>>12596945My first console was a GameCube and I just started playing SH1 for the first time and it's really good. Much better than RE1 PSX reload simulator.
>>12597423I tried this game but I ended up dropping it at some point because the time limit can get pretty insane in some levels; plus in some levels you can softlock yourself or there are obtuse objectives. I'd still like to come back to it and beat it one of these days because I like vehicule FPS, a trendy genre between 95-97 that is overlooked today.
>>12597423Also you should check out MachineHead if you haven't, the draw distance is poor but it's a great game otherwise
>>12595985GTA1 is 3D like MGS1 is '3D'.
>>12597454That looks sick. Thanks for the rec
>>12596945>GTA trilogy, RE4, DMC3, Haloholy normie nigger cattle
>>12596989>Ehrgeiz>9/10anon lets be serious here
>>12597578Well, at least it's much better than Bushido Blade.
>>12597574name a good game
>>12597768
>>12594582started collecting PC games from that era in the past month also. it's the peak of gaming and no one will convince me otherwise.
>>12597428holy kino
>>12597578that game is a blast. Thats why people come back after so many years. Being casual doesn't lower the score.
