Fear Effect actually looks insane, I can't believe that was on the PS1, it looks so good for the era, and not one but TWO 4-disc games were released for it? Honestly surprised a full remaster or remake never came to fruition for the IP. I'm getting it for sure.

The battle theme gets stuck in my head from time to time. Can't believe reviewers at the time wrote it off as uninspired.

Putting Silent Hill and Koudelka back-to-back has me overjoyed! Their both have phenomenal looking backgrounds, and their ost's are amazing. I smiled the second I heard 'Waterfall' play. Fun-fact about Koudelka: It was directed, written, and composed by Hiroki Kikuta. The same guy responsible for the ost's of 'Secret of Mana' and 'Trials of Mana'. Koudelka also led to the creation of the 'Shadow Hearts' series after Kikuta left. Sorry, I just liked Koudelka.

@thatvideogamesshow

2 ай бұрын

Didn’t know that! Thanks for the trivia 🙂

@culturedbrother

2 ай бұрын

Another funfact is that Kikuta supposedly wanted to make the game even more survival horror in nature but Sacnoth (ex-Squaresoft employees) wanted to make it more like the typical Final Fantasy. And thus, they mixed both. But as the series went on (Shadow Hearts), slowly but surely the franchise got rid of its horror elements..............which was a real shame. Koudelka is probably the game with the most amount of media (of the franchise). In form of a Manga sequel (which might tie some more events together between Koudelka and Shadow Hearts......havent read it tho), Light Novel (re-telling of the game) and Drama CD.

Your narration can make Pong interesting. Awesome upload!

Tenchu 2 I've never played but I have a memory of watching one of those gaming VHS tapes where the guy was talking about cheat codes and mentions one about I think one of the Tenchu games. I wish I still had that tape. A number of my friends speak highly of Koudelka so I've been quite curious of it! Ah, of course we've all hears of Thrill Kill LOL! Probably won't ever play it though. Rising Zan looks fun too! I've really only played MGS in a demo, but I had a lot of fun! it's definitely a classic!

I didn't enjoy playing Dino Crisis. Found it too much walking back and forth through the same parts over and over again. DC2 however, was a lot of fun. RE2 definitely is the must have RE on PS1.

Koudelka is another I heard of, and seems like such a unique horror experience. Glad to see some iconic Capcom survival horror games that are essential! Rising Zan is one I recall you mentioning before, and you just reminded me I need to experience this one still. Looks very unique, and crazy to think this was made from the same dev studio that made Coolboarders 1&2 lol. The final game choice...100% essential pick lol.

Not every game needs a remake, you're basically saying the best PS1 games are not good enough and they need a remake. I'd like old games to be preserved, but remaking them is not the only way to do it.

I wish people wouldn't keep criticising 20-30 year old games for not 'holding up to modern standards ' It's an absurd take. Play the game on its own merit.

💚💚💚💙💚

Some of these have absolutely no reason to be M-rated. Vandal Hearts? Dino Crisis?

A modern version of Tenchu would have neon green highlights on every place that you could use the grappling hook, alert meters over every enemy, endless button prompts, and a shit-ton of quicktime events. In short, it would be crap meant for people who can't handle playing a game where they actually have to think.
