Again I cant vouch for these games because I haven't tried them yet but they look interesting and more like what your into good luck I hope you like some of these.

I love the PS1 library, but find it hard to play the games. The load times are a bit much and games seem to draaaaaag when playing them. The last one I was playing was Legend of Draaaaaaaaagging-Oooooooooooon. I got annoyed and had to stop. Wonder if I thought the same thing back then but just pushed through it.

I do like to pick them up on sale on the PSN and play them for a bit on the Vita. I rarely do more than immerse myself in the nostalgia though.

I didn't expect to get much of a reaction, let alone have someone curate a sizable list of games I never heard of that actually sound kind of intriguing. I didn't know The Neverhood had a spinoff platformer...

Thanks Wartoy, I really appreciate that.

--- Quote from: vivigamer on July 10, 2020, 02:36:21 am ---I enjoy PS1 Games, but I confess I don't hunt out for obscure titles like I do later generations - Well not so much on the PS4 there is far to much trash released on the PS Store every week!

I have 100+ Games & Still plenty I need to go back to and experience. I can't recall the last PS1 game I actually bought. nor is there any game on my radar to get either.

I did recently play Ronin Blade / Soul of the Samurai and had a blast.

I think honestly what may have hurt it is the lack of availability this generation. The PS3 could play pretty much all PS1 games, while the PS4 has had no equivalent - Not even a downloadable option. So due to the lack of accessibility I can see why the popularity may have dwindled down.

Also, I very rarely use my PS1 Discs anymore. I have a modded PS1 Classic which is a Dream to play on - Don't get huffy with my about piracy, I have 100+ physical games :P I guess many people emulate PS1 games these days not just for convince/price but also performance! I don't even have a powered PC but look at the difference between PS1 on the PS3 Emu & PC:
Also the rise in price doesn't help & PS1 discs lack the protection Blu-Rays seem to have so I can see why many might not see the appeal in collecting them. I'm personally glad I have mine, but I am also quite content on what I have already.

that's probably a pc port not the og ps1 version

But yes the pc versions where usually better, sometimes lesser music and soundeffects though, final fantasy fantasy VII also had a superior pc port at the time to name one example way better models

I took them photos off my TV (So not direct screenshots, but good enough indication to see the difference), the PC photo was me running the PS1 version of RE2 on Emu - I was just flabbergasted by the difference! & Have never gone back to playing PS1 games on my PS3 since.

I've been trying to mod the PC version of FF7 recently... but sadly can't seem to get the modding software to work - Which is annoying as to mod FF8 it was simply a case of downloading files and placing them in folders.

One of the big issues with the PS1 in Europe is that we missed out on some big triple A titles - I later played Parasite Eve 1 and really enjoyed it, but I still have other games like Xenogears to play.

The biggest issue i have these days is with PS2 games, some are lucky to be Remastered but many have not. & Sadly there still aren't many reasonably priced ways to get a satisfactory display on a HDTV. Which is sadly why I have 2 big boxes of PS2 games in storage - which is awful considering it is the 2nd biggest collection of games I have for a console (1st being PS3).

On a side note, I did make a video on PS1 Hidden Gems - Not the most obscure Japanese titles you've never heard of but 5 games which I felt were overlooked still:

Many gamers from this generation don't like crude polygons, so yeah, I'd say yes.

Personally, I love me some crude polygonal curvatures. Smexy.
