    The Sony PlayStation was released in September 1995. It competed alongside the Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn as part of the fifth generation of consoles. A total of 3,061 PlayStation 1 games were released, with cumulative sales of 967 million units.
    The PlayStation was the result of a failed partnership between Sony and Nintendo to create a CD-ROM add-on for the Super Famicom. When Nintendo withdrew, Sony's CEO at the time, Norio Ogha, was enraged and appointed executive Ken Kutaragi to develop the PSX in-house with the objective of dethroning Nintendo's Super Famicom.

    I think the main difference between silent hill and resident evil is that resident evil is, at its core, and action horror game. Yes it's supposed to be creepy and scary, but you're really there to shoot stuff.
    Silent Hill on the other hand is a straight horror game. It's focused on the story, the environment, it's slower paced, and the action is much less but still effective when you do need to use it.

    I think Aliens Res is probably the best Aliens game, so much atmosphere. Personally I'd always add Alundra to a top PS list, such a great Zelda style game with a really dark plot that grips you... I got to the last boss twice, save game deleted by son twice!

    • @ClassicReplay
      @ClassicReplay  2 роки тому +2

      100% on Alien Resurrection. As for Alundra, I did think about it, but it looked more like a 16 bit game than a PlayStation game, plus I found it quite difficult. Todays kids don’t give games enough time to impress. Straight on to the next. I tried so many games with my daughters, nieces and nephews, this was some long drawn out research, I was sure I’d never make this vid. These were the ones they wanted to play the most. I had to restrict access to Resurrection as they all wanted to play that, but not old enough. In fact Crash Bandicoot was their favourite followed by FF7. Plus I had my input 😀

    A note regarding Ace Combat 3:
    The western release was significantly cut back compared to the Japanese release, of which contained numerous missions, multiple endings and animated/voiced cutscenes in an anime format by Production I.G - The iconic animation studio responsible for Ghost In The Shell 1995. It's arguably one of the best earliest entries in the AC series that many have patched to play.

    This list is pretty solid and fair. Now, I have been reading through alot of the comments on this video and people are saying they would more likely vote majority RPG games or the list is missing lots of RPG titles. However, you do have to remember the most popular games are the ones that are the most mainstream and appeal to the masses because many of the RPG's for PS1 are very rare especially mega man, clock tower, shadow tower, misadventures of tron bonne, and MM legends 1 and 2. Not everyone got to enjoy the RPG unless they were heavy fans or intentionally looking for the titles/genres.

    Crash Bandicoot - You're playing it wrong. Don't you know that you're not supposed to be careful and avoid enemies while picking up everything? You're supposed to run through the levels as fast as possible, smashing into enemies and missing half the pickups. ;)
    Spider-Man - The controls annoy the hell out of me. The fact that you can only turn in 45 degree increments means that you can never properly line up jumps, or run along narrow platforms without falling off. I managed to complete the game on Windows despite a bunch of bugs, but I rage quit the challenge mode and never went back to it. The section late in the game that has you going through a corridor without touching the floor had me screaming at the screen in frustration.
    My recommendations;
    NASCAR Rumble - Other than the cars, it doesn't really have anything to do with NASCAR. It has a large number of cars and tracks, powerups (that can be turned off), shortcuts, big jumps, crashes. It's probably the closest thing to a Burnout game you'll find on the PS1.
    Rival Schools - Anime inspired fighting game. Large cast of characters, tag team action and over the top moves.
    Spyro the Dragon - Enjoyable platformer. One of the most impressive features is that there's no fog. It has quite a long draw distance and even then, things that are too far away to see realistically come into view as you get closer to them.

      Thanks for leaving a comment, NASCAR Rumble is a fantastic game, had lots of fun with that one. I suspect not many people realised the style of game and passed it by thinking “not another NASCAR game”. I see where you’re coming from with your other comments as well, but can’t agree with you about Spider-Man 👍

      @@ClassicReplay Whenever I'd try to line up a jump or web swing in Spider-Man, I could never get it perfect, it would always be off to the left or the right. Then I'd have to change direction in the middle of the swing, usually multiple times because first it would go too far to the left, then too far to the right, etc. This was especially troublesome when trying to land on a smaller target, like the top of the crane to see the Easter egg. When on the building that was under construction, I kept falling off the beams. Also, a lot of times, I had trouble going up to enemies and hitting them, because he wouldn't be facing them. I also missed throwing stuff at enemies quite a lot.
      Oh, and the cutscene in the middle of the Catch Venom level that seems to screw up on most every system and either leave you stuck in the opening, have you swing to the wrong building, or just fall to your death.
      I will admit that I do have a bit of a sore spot for this game because of how many problems the Windows version had (which Activision knew about and never patched). It crashed quite often, sometimes the controls just stopped working for several seconds, and I had to delete the prefs, then reconfigure the controls each time I ran it, or the game would start in EXTREME slow-motion.

      On the PS1 where I played it the most, then later on the Dreamcast (surprisingly not as fluid). It was a great experience, camera angle is always and issue with these early 3D games, same with Tomb Raider. But I just remember having a whale of a time with one of my favourite superheroes.

      @@ClassicReplay I actually don't mind the camera in Tomb Raider. If you imagine that the camera is attached to the back of Lara's head with a flexible pole, its movement becomes almost entirely predictable. If there's enough room, it's straight behind her, but if not, it bends off to the side. And there's always the Look button.
      I actually hate third person games where the camera and the character turn independently of each other. In Max Payne and Jedi Academy (Windows), the mouse controls both the camera and the character, making it easy to strafe and shoot enemies while running backwards. More modern games make you use a lock-on system to make up for the fact that while the camera might be looking at an enemy, your character may have their back turned to said enemy. Also, the camera tends to be equally as useless in cramped areas as the old Tomb Raider camera.

    Great list! Maybe due to growing up with the start of video/arcade games, a lot of these still look impressive to me. Love Toca, I seem to recall you could have in-car view, it felt incredibly realistic. They refused to compromise so you'd get some mad slowdown at a tight bend with 8 million cars, but it didn't matter. The sounds as well (plus music by EZ Rollers!). Silent Hill and Resi were epic.

    I got a PlayStation for Christmas when I was 11 years old in 1995-96!
    We got Tekken, ridge racer, destruction derby, jumping flash, twisted metal and Street fighter the movie the game!!
    I could not be peeled away from destruction derby because nothing like it had ever been seen and it was so fun!! But twisted metal became a returning favorite for me and all of my friends at the time!
    Every other major release on this list, I got at the time of its release with Gran Turismo one when I was 13 to 14 and Gran Turismo two when I was 15 and metal gear solid when I was about 15 also and all of these games hold a special place in my heart!
    I have to say that some of the best memories were of the total amazement of Gran Turismo, having never seen nothing like that game and then the anticipation leading up to the second one! And then of course resident evil and then the amazing unforgettable resident evil 2 but it wasn’t until playing metal gear solid for the first time that I truly experienced what an cinematic action stealth masterpiece was, and it totally set the standard for what an action game with Hollywood level or voice acting and cinematics should be moving forward!!

    Nice to see Silent Hill on here. It's still my favorite of the series (and I played the first three again a few years ago) but it gets overshadowed by the second game I think in part because a lot of people played that one first and came back to the original with expectations of a similar type of story. I think the story of the first game is actually more disturbing and crazy than the second one because the second one is much more of a character study. The music in the first game is more unsettling too.
    If I made a top 20 PS1 list it would be very RPG heavy, ha ha. But I would also fit MGS, RE2, SH, and probably SOTN in there. And I really do like OG Tomb Raider a lot. It was always clunky to control but I think the exploratory level design and atmosphere (aided by wonderful snippets of music) is still good. Thing is though, for more action-oriented titles like platformers, wrestling games, and FPS games, I mostly got my fix on the N64 back then. It's very possible that I never quite gave the PS1 its due in that area as a result.

    • @ClassicReplay
      @ClassicReplay  Рік тому

      I can’t disagree with anything you’ve said. On a different day the list gets turned on it’s head, there’s way too many classics to try and break things down to a small list. Silent Hill is a fantastic experience, still is, as you say it’s more unsettling. I’m more old stamp JRPG’s, but even then it all depends on the game. I had the N64 as well, but nothing in the N64 touched Smackdown IMPHO.
