It can easily be claimed that PS1 is one of the greatest consoles of all timeunless the Largest. Those who grew up in the 90s may remember that he took home the beautiful gray console, pops into a record and then wowed by the iconic starting music. The starting music alone can send nostalgic reveling down all Playstation -fans' spine.
There are several reasons why PS1 is important for the gaming culture and why it is a simple console to go back to today, at least for their games. So let's claim that PS1 is the largest console ever made. Here are some easy -to -understand reasons why this is the case.
It brought Sony into the console
A console for the people
Then it was unfortunate that Nintendo lost the faith in Sony and pulled out at the last second at their business to develop a console. Now Sony can look back and see that it was the biggest thing that would happen to them because as a result they dominated the first 3D console market. PS1 appointed N64 with a large margin, thanks to its better game plan, lower prices and a previous launch.
Sony's embrace of the record-based format was a blessing because they were cheaper to produce, which led to cheaper gaming prices than N64 cartridges could offer. In addition, PS1 was able to play CDs and act as a stereo, which was cool and much on the Sony brand because their Walkman was also revolutionary at that time.
The biggest list of Final Fantasy Games
And a black sheep
On PS1, Mainline and Spinoff Final fantasy Titles stood out. Final Fantasy 7, In particular, new land broke in graphics, stories and CG. Final Fantasy 9 was a strong farewell to the classic style of the series, and Final Fantasy Tactics helped popularize tactical RPG.
But sharing, Final Fantasy 8 remains highly appreciated by many. These four games could overshadow the entire libraries for other consoles, without even mentioning the many spinoffs and collections that were also on PS1.
Squaresoft's most experimental age
From fighters to shooters
While PS1 played host for Stellar Final fantasy Games, that was also a factor in Squaresoft's Golden Era, before they became Square Enix. The developer's original and published titles stood for experiments. Brave fencer Musashi Repeated ZeldaThe Bushido leaves was a fighter one-hit, and Hedges was a side scrolling shooter.
Then there were RPG that had strange games or unique settings, as Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile, and Xenogears. While all of these did not branch and became as successful as Final fantasyThey were all bangers. There were more large non-square RPG on PS1, but Squaresoft definitely played a big role in making the console an RPG jug.
Born modern survival fear
The nightmare begins
Resident evil Debuted in 1996 and was temporarily a PS1 exclusive, and the changed horror game forever. Although it can be difficult to go back to the first three games in the series thanks to their tank checks, they are still important horror experiences. They helped to give rise to other horror franchise, both large and small, as Dino Crisis, Fear Effect, Parasite Eve, and Quiet hill.
To this day, Quiet hill is probably probably the biggest horror franchise rival for Resident evilAnd it's amazing that they both try to do something different for the horror genre. Maybe this Halloween, PS1 fans should relive the console's full scare offers.
A large distinctive graphics range
From 2D to 3D
PS1 has an incredibly wide range of artistic choices in their games. The low polygonal look captures again with modern games, and it is easy to see that these new developers are PS1 fans. Resident evil and Final fantasy Be groundbreaking for his time as fantastic, completely 3D games.
In addition to fully 3D games, there were also 2D games that used pixelated graphics or 3D models, such as Castlevania: Night's symphony and Trot. Finally, there are Mega Man Legends and Parate the rapperWho used more cartoon art styles that helped them stand the test of the time. In addition to genres, these examples help to show how different PS1 became graphic.
Printed Dramatic Story
Metal Gear Solid's return
Although there are better stories in games today, PS1 can be thanked for having driven stories ahead. Although confusing in some respects, these games still have engaging stories, even though they have aged in other respects. Metal Gear Solid is the best example, as it was an incredible hope forward from the NES days, what about its long cuts and credible voice talent.
Final Fantasy 7Again, another fine example is, as it made that series more mature, from its themes to its bloody content. Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is another premiere PS1 story, a dark story that is well tried with a gripping story of revenge. PS1 may be decades old, but these stories are timeless.
Future evidence backward compatibility
For two consoles, at least
The PS1 discs were known to be smeared and scratched, but with the right tools they could be repaired. What is astonishing is that all games that PS1 fans grew up with then stayed with them in two more console generations.
PS2 was backward compatible without any other unit was needed. PS3 was launched as a completely backward -compatible PS1 machine, and the first round of consoles was also back compatible with most PS2 games. Unfortunately, that function was removed in later generations, but PS1 discs still worked. It is really remarkable that PS1 was such a well -constructed console to develop because it was easy enough to make their games playable on at least two future consoles naturally. How is it for a legacy?
