PS1 Games That Aged BEAUTIFULLY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- Truly great games never fully lose what made them great. Time may age the graphics and controls to some degree, but if you’re the sort of person who can appreciate a classic in the context of its era, the PS1 is still an awesome place to spend your free time.

PS1 RPGs have aged gracefully
All the footage of Digimon World right at the start is unlocking so many memories.
The two first (and IMO, best) Legacy of Kain games, Blood Omen and Soul Reaver, are still fantastic to this day. In fact, Blood Omen was recently (finally) released on GOG, and I bought it day one and played it through one more time. And it was every bit as awesome as it was 25+ years ago.
Oddworld Abe's Oddyssey/Exoddus and Heart of Darkness still look amazing today.
Chrono Cross is so underrated. I get it’s not Chrono Trigger, but what is?
I liked cross better than trigger for some reason
@@fourwingsweepa1705 Yeah same.. I was a Final Fantasy devotee by the time Chrono Trigger came out though. So I never got that into Chrono Trigger like a lot of people did.
But when Chrono Cross hit, just the vast number of playable characters appealed to me. That and I love the character Harle. She just makes me laugh.
@@fourwingsweepa1705 Me too but only for a little while. 3D loading battles take forever. Its another reason why i didnt like ff9. Loading time takes forever.
So many are great, FF Tactics, Valkyrie Profile, Darkstalkers 3, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Elemental Gearbolt, and so many others.
I preferred Street Fighter Alpha 2 over 3, but both were excellent games,
Nobody could disagree with Suikoden 2, man that game is glorious.
Both Oddworld games will always be beautiful and enjoyable
With proper upscaling and/or filters the SNES and PS1 Era look almost as good as the modern games in that style.
Would love if Sony made a ps1 and ps2 console with an upscale HDMI port built in… would totally buy that
@@artofmanslife I'd love that too, but the third-party upscalers sell for hundreds of dollars so this console would be priced similar to a modern console.
Would be better if Sony just enabled official emulators on the PS5 and added a software based upscaler, which would be no big deal.
Then they could just put the old games on a digital store without having to individually "remaster" anything.
And I think they would make more money having a massive catalog of original games than a smaller selection of "HD remasters" and ports.
For these frustrating reasons I just emulate. I also enjoy romhacks that can add english translations or fix bugs.
Bloody Roar 1 and 2 were such fun fighters.
Also, I’m in the niche crowd that loved Intelligent Qube. It;s a must play for people who like block droppers like Tetris and Puyo.
Alundra for me, gorgeous pixel art which still looks amazing today.
I had a demo disc and played metal Gear solid demo so many times... Good times
Fantastic collection of choices.
I'll admit the graphics were chunky but the Bushido Blade games are still fun to play!
*fawns in Ridge Racer Prototype 4* 😍
Great video guys!
Some other less talked about great PS1 RPGs that imo are masterpieces and hold up incredibly well today. Are Grandia, Vandel Hearts, and Arc the Lad 2! I might even argue that Arc of Lad 2 might just be one of the greatest SRPGs ever created, and I don't think hardly anyone has ever played it! The one flaw it has is you have to play the extremely underwhelming Arc of Lad 1 to get the full story of 2 haha. But it is a really short game, so not too bad.
Hello! Great video, these retro games are fascinating
Thank goodness for emulators
The best thing about Symphony of the Night is that is has been re-released a few times, so it's actually a fair bit easier to pick up the game outside of the PS1. My personal favorite version is the Dracula X Chronicles version on the PSP.
Also, as far as the list goes, I'd like to add these games:
- Klonoa
- Spyro 1-3
- R-Type Delta
- Parasite Eve
- Wild Arms 2
- Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (not exactly in the grapical department, but hey, MGS isn't exactly a looker anymore either, lol)
I don't miss anything about VHS
Did you not be kind and rewind?
Twisted Metal 2/World Tour and Darkstalkers. Oh and the opposite if Whoopie would be Melancholy 👌
Here comes the inevitable Symphony of the night
obviously because it is in the thumbnail bud lol
Didn't even notice the thumbnail 😂
Resident evil 3 aged really well!
SO MANY of these I haven't played yet. Why can't I have infinite time at my disposal? is that too much to ask? it is? oh right, makes sense.
I collect 750+ physical games for PlayStation1 when price i low. Great era system with begging games that exist today
Damn I thought having 438 games was huge but you make my collection look tiny
Breath Of Fire IV should be on this list too!
You reminded me of mentioning Future Cop Lapd, and then i remembered R Type Delta on the ps1. And then I remembered playing this open world 🌎 hover game... what was it called: V2000.
WOW V2000! now that's a blast from the past
I absolutely adore Tomba & Klonoa.
Tomba's one I need to pick up and play again. It's been too long.
Gimme some Lunar Silver Star Story and Ridge Racer 4! I’ll play them (and all my PS1 games) on my PS3. Looks great, sounds great!
I dont remember seeing Medievil 2 in this.....
Swear to god if Wipeout 3 isn't on there..
You'll poop yourself?
Einhänder is still a looker
Great selection and video. I vote Tomb Raider 4, as its kind of the swansong for a certain kind of 3rd person adventure game that you don't see anymore. You have to do all the work and set up the jumps and vaults whereas a newer ps3 or 4 era game would have you just holding the action button and going in a direction doing fancy parkour stuff. Beautiful scenery and levels like in the earlier games but with better graphics and more fluid gameplay to back it up.
Threads of Fate i admit with some help in duckstation can look like even a todays indie title i mean, can look beutiful, Dragon Valor i think looks quite nice or if Megaman then legends 1-2 looks alright, 40 winks, Soul Reaver, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, Nightmare Creatures 2 i think has great graphics, but its kinda like released in the last stages of PS1 life or more like the end, so no wonder there i guess. Tai fu, Tail Concerto looking good i think. For me at least. I dont know there are many more that with some little lightweight tweeking u can get suprisingly great results, u almost forget that its a 20+ year old game in some cases. Anyway theres lot more to choose from. So u can do a lot of these videos :), like part 2-3-4 etc. :)
Happy to see JoJo's Bizarre Adventure! Though it definitely has many weaknesses compared to the Arcade version. Still, pretty good port with some additional content and nice visuals and animation and an easy to learn, hard to master gameplay.
Will always love the PS1 'look' .Those Crispy graphics with low res textures (with the signature texture warping) still look fantastic. The MGS 1 intro was something else for the first time playing, and R Racer type 4 was (and still is) one of the best Ridges. Soul Calibur was also top tier. Cheers vultures 👍😉 Edit:wait! Soul Reaver and Spyro also. Why did I get rid of my PS1?!
Brigandine legend of forsena, digimon world
i have to put my vote in vagrant story as one of the best looking games for ps1
#0 Dragon Warrior 7. I will not be taking questions.
We have aged, not the games.
V2000
Rtype delta
Future cop lapd
Blast Chamber.
👏🏻🗿
MGS still does look great. But play the whole game, then go to MGS2, and you’ll see the big jump in graphical fidelity
Well, the graphical leap is obvious! I played through them all again for the Master Collection and honestly 1 felt remarkably smooth. It's probably the smoothest 3D game of its type on the platform still
Nice fawg haha
Don't really agree with a few choices on this list. It doesn't mean I think they are bad, or that I don't enjoy playing them, or didn't at the time they were released. But Metal Gear Solid for example I don't think it's aged particularly well. Lot's camera issues that rear it's ugly head in later areas of the game that can cause frustration mostly because of hardware limitations. Silent Hill is extremely clunky in the combat department. I also think Chrono Cross aged really poorly with it's slow combat and slow loading times (At least on original hardware) To me it felt like a chore to play through because of that, despite liking the story.
I do agree with Suikoden II though, beautiful pixel art, great story, fast and enjoyable turn based combat. In fact most JRPGS on the ps1 will have aged well outside of a select few. Which sadly I include Chrono Cross as part of ones that haven't aged well. Legend of Legaia is one I loved as a kid but man...them long load times going in and out of battles and how frequent they are hurt the experience today as well.
Keep in mind my judgement is based on the original PS1, current remasters might be different with speed up options, and potentially faster load times.
konami's glorious days 😢 now they're stuck making casino machines
Mega Man X4 is probably the easiest of all the X games.
I agree. And one of the best. Even if it went a bit safer than X3 for example. X3 had more stuff in it but some weren't work that well. X4 is simpler, but the addition of Zero as fully playable is great.
Castlevania is so amazing.😮 I believe SOTN is called Metroidvania as well.👍
This is Final Fantasy Tactics erasure
One thing in Tekken 3 that always bugged me , , Nina's 3D polygon model looks HORRIBLE just BLOODY AWFUL , ,it's as if a programmer had 70% completed a Male fighter model and then at the last hours was informed they decided the fighter would be a Female instead , , remember this and play it again a see if you now notice , , ,fun video Sir , may the Triforce bless you 🛡️👍😸👍
:)
Half of these games would have aged and looked even better if you actually showed them correctly without having them stretched to fit the whole screen lol. They weren’t widescreen back in the day but you have half the games in this list stretched out and it looks awful lol.
Kind of ironic - they looked better than how you’re showing them. Unsubscribed. Stop making low quality videos.
MGS1 looks like sh1te in this days.
