Bro, come quick, That Video Game Show just dropped another batch of classics!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@thatvideogamesshowof course we enjoyed it!
Sus lol
AYOOO 😂😂😂
Here i am
I was a teenager when PS1 came out and it was the first console that I realized games are not just for kids. The introduction of the Sony Playstation was the turning point in gaming history.
Totally agree!
Sega Genesis had adultish games
For consoles maybe, PC had some pretty horrific games in the 90s
@@catsaregovernmentspies Thats nice.
@@DoCKathos PC was a different story, consoles and PCs were very different beasts and unaffordable to most. Also in 1999 the smash hit movie Cruel Intentions had the line: ""Ronald, email is for geeks and pedophiles." which tells you what the mainstream thought of PC users.
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.
Rising Zan was the first game that came to mind and happy to see it made it on this list!
Fun fact, Charles Martinet (voice actor of Mario) is featured in this game.
Haha I never knew that!
@@thatvideogamesshow He voices Master Suzuki in the game as well as some of the enemies. Such a cool game, I'm glad you featured it!
The battle theme of Koudelka is one of my favorite battle themes of all time! I will never get tired listening to it!
Such a great soundtrack!
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.
Didn’t know that! Thanks for the trivia 🙂
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.
Silent Hill absolutely does NOT need a remake. It's perfect the way it is.
Still scary to this day in fact.
SH1 and Fatal Frame 2 are two of the scariest games ever made.
What about a remaster?
@@ricomontoya1562 No!
@@mountainmgtow5421 you are correct.
I run SH1 through my Retrotink 5x and it looks amazing still to this day.
And the music and soundscape...good lord; how can you improve upon it?
Engine from Thrill Kill used for WuTang Shaolin Style. Just as violent with unlockables galore.
Facts💯
Got to add Parasite Eve, Bushido Blade, and Mortal Kombat 4 to the list. Even though MK is popular I always felt like 4 doesn't get enough love.
Part 2 in the works =)
Thrill Kill didn't make the cut, but they did make the Wu Tang game from that engine. Very fun and funny game
I have Thrill Kill.
Back in the day a friend of mine gave me a burner.
Still have it on CDR.
Plays on PS with mod chip.
Same here, someone gave me a copy in 1999 and I still have it somewhere. I didnt actually know it was never released until I saw this video!
@@iainstewart102 that's cool. I've heard that the Wu-tang game used the same fighting engine.
Your narration can make Pong interesting. Awesome upload!
Thank you kindly!
OMG thank you for doing Fear Effect no one remembers this game!!! It has such a unique look and I've never forgotten it!!
Thank you for mentioning Koudelka.
I think Persona 2 Eternal Punishment is also a great mature RPG.
Great suggestion!
I played and finished Koudelka for the first time a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised by the great written dialogue and awesome voice acting. The chemistry between the characters and the way they start as enemies but end up caring for each other at the end was so well done. Absolutely underrated in my opinion. (and it's the prequel to Shadow Hearts if anyone is interested in playing the whole series)
Would love to see a modern take on it!
Always great lists!! Fear Effect is such a wonderful game! Resident Evil 2 is one of my absolute favorite games. I play the original all the time.
Tenchu is extremely fun! And underrated stealth game imo
I’ll second that! Would love to see the franchise make a comeback!
@@thatvideogamesshow Same!
For real, all of the Tenchu games are damn good
Your show reminds me G4tech TV from way back in the day. Something that would come on late at night. Very nostalgic
Thanks Adam!
Hmmm freshly baked That Video Games Show
Hope you enjoy!
Blood gushing skeletal warriors? F^ck yeah!
You should check out soul of the samurai, it has an interesting story, you get different weapons with different move sets, you can play as 2 different characters, each with their own story, and allows the player the option to change the color of the blood.
Amazing list!
Aww man,that remind me why i need that Tenchu,Koudelka,Dino Crisis to get a remake
Would love to see all of them get the respect they deserve with a remake!
Heya, TVGS. Your videos accompanied me inbetween my nightly study breaks. Just saying my thanks.
My pleasure! Glad they’ve helped out and I hope your studies go well 🙂
You should do ps2 next
Already done a PS2 episode on the topic. Should pop up if you search for it on the channel 🙂
I remember playing some Vandal Hearts on my PS3 as a download years ago. I didn't get very far though. 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 really wish Rising Zan got a remake or a pc port or something. I tried getting into it, but the controls are just really janky. Which is a shame because the writing and comedy are both gold.
Same here, would love to see it updated for modern consoles.
@@thatvideogamesshow Eh. Someone could always mod the game and tune up the controls a bit. Then you could play it on an Xbox via duck or Retroarch, I guess. What's needed for that to happen is to get the word out about the game so it can get fans crazy enough to do such a thing.
I love Koudelka
One of the PlayStations greatest RPGs!
Would love to see remasters or remakes for Dino Crisis, Tenchu, and Fear Effect. I think the Fear Effect Remake might've been cancelled.
Nightmare Creatures is a fun M rated PS1 game too. Same for Covert Ops Nuclear Dawn.
Great suggestion with Nightmare creatures. That game was intense!
Jenn, wake up, That Video Game Show is up.
Syphon Filter series
Legacy Of Kain series
Wu-Tang Shaolin Style is what Thrill Kill ended up becoming and it's rated M.
Great suggestions!
I would love for any studio other than Craptivision to make a remake of Tenchu. This franchise has sadly been in hibernation for years and I still have Tenchu 1, 2, and 3 and all 3 were great classics.
Same here, would love to see it make a comeback!
Seeing this video man... My Cousin just passed away today.. 29 years old man... like wtf... Seeing this video reminds me so much of him we played every single one of these games on ur list.. me and him.... damn man.. .why him like wtf.
Sorry for your loss man.
Good list, except for thrill kill.. should have had Blood Omen instead :)
I'll add it for part 2 =)
Nice list! Wish some of the mentioned games get a remake/remaster. Nightmare creatures is also a neat m rated game. Creepy atmosphere
Nightmare creatures was Bloodborne before Bloodborne.
Love me some Nightmare Creatures!
I'm a big fan of Vandal Hearts. Compared to Final Fantasy Tactics, Vandal Hearts had greater variety of battle conditions, stages designed for you to tactically maneuver through them to trap the enemy and emphasized survival.
Would love to see a modern take on the game!
my kingdom for chapter markers in your videos
That's a great list! One of my personal m-rated favourites is Nightmare Creatures, not a great game but definitely a fun one. I'm curious about the ones that didn't make to the list...
Anyone that talks about Fear Effect (and Fear Effect 2) gets a thumbs up in my book.
One of the best games on the PS1 and one of the last great classics released on the system near the end of its lifecycle.
Thank you!
I'm a little sad that Soul Reaver isn't on this list, but it was originally released as T and then bumped up to M later.
Vandal Hearts looks fine, that style has certainly aged better than early 3D games. Anyway, graphics unless they are exceptionally bad are secondary, gameplay is what makes or breaks a game.
Would love to see something similiar to Thrill kill. The soundtrack of this game goes hard.
Same here!
Great as always. Also, you could make a video in the memory of the Wii U, maybe games that are stuck in the system.
That's a good idea!
excluding vandal hearts, played almost on the list and beat multiple times specially capcom survival horror games . two games stand out for me, thrill kill looks fun for pick up and play and that rising zan looks amazing! definitely gonna check that one out! Great Video as always!
Thrill Kill never actually came out, so I'm not sure how it can be on a "must have" list, but it's engine was applied to the game Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style
you want a reimagined Tenchu? four words: Sekiro: Shadows die twice
That intro is iconic 😅
Such a good tune!
@@thatvideogamesshow true
I told them to never change it. So far so good 😊
from tekken
I loved fear effect 1 and 2. Its a shame that 3 was cancelled on ps2 😢.
Would have been great to see!
Loved fear effect 1 and 2 :D
Such a great bunch of games!
My nan bought me Resi 2 for my bday. I knew she put it in her bedroom cupboard and managed to sneak Leons disc out to play lol good times
Haha that’s awesome 😅
Cel-shade artstyle was a great choice for PS1,
but I don't know many games that used it
There’s a fair few that do with one of my favourites being Megaman Legends. That game looks so good, even to this day!
Dang, I never played Fear Effect, but I never realized how stunning the actual gameplay visuals looked for the PS1! Definitely bumping that one up on my list of PS1 games to experience. 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. Awesome video as always man, and humbled to see some of my PS1 collection featured at the end!
Thanks for watching mate! Glad you found something new to try out =)
Fear Effect is such an amazing game but the puzzles were so damn frustrating once you got to the later half of the game i would also recommend the second one too
Thank you for being amazing with perfect editing
Thank you for watching! 🙂
I owned Metal Gear Solid on both the PS1 and the Gamecube remake.
tenchu 2. demo screen took way longer to beat than the game itself
PS1 was the GOAT, I can’t get enough
Superb list, as always. But still, why all of the games are pc emulated? I don't get it
Thanks!
That,s because the original silent hill was meant to sycoanilize you as the player the game itself was reading your own action,s you took in the game i found that out later on but i must admit it was interesting to say the least 😮
Great selection of PS1 games!
Rising Zan sounds a bit like No More Heroes..! 🤔
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.
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.
Hopefully you got Parasite Eve in part 2.
100%!
I was all about the Tenchu series 👌🏻
100%!
Technically, silent hill 1 already got a remake in Silent hill Shattered Memories but even without that, Silent Hill 2 is more refined, more engrossing and more loved so it makes sense that it gets a true remake first. Here's hoping it doesn't turn out bad...
Amazing list as always, were never going to see games like this again but some ps1 gamer were negated by their dated controls but still amazing games nevertheless
Thank you!
Why does Dino Crisis have the Cold Fear Music ?
My only issue with tenchu is the tank controls. In action games it really makes the game very clunky. In survivor horrors I guess they're OK.
I get that, it can get really tricky to control.
@@thatvideogamesshow your Channel is awesome. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Love your videos please post more
More on the way =)
Silent Hill was remade for Wii ❤️
decent compilation, but those early polygons are really tough on the eyes
Back in my day we walked barefoot through the snow for 5 miles to get a game filled with polygons, and we loved them!
Just checked eBays prices on Samurai Zan... yeah this looks like another one for the emulator.
Hope you enjoy it!
Koudelka and fear effect are two geme! Rising Zan has a cool idea but the controls are terrible
Awesome PS1 games that were made for that specific system and time. No need to remake them or remaster them. Instead we should welcome new IP's Instead. Encouraging innovation in gameplay and new stories.
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.
Yeah. Rising Zan is good game. At least for that time
Silent hill 1 costs £75 now lol ridiculous its worth double what it was when it first came out
You can buy thrill kill online
Wales!
🫡
Parasite Eve series
Will have to add them to part 2 🙂
My ancestors came from Wales on both sides I believe
Nice!
Resident Evil 2♥️♥️♥️
I don't get why Twin Snakes get so much hate, it's a pretty good remake😅
Haha I just don't like the several ways it deviates from the original. The over the top cutscenes by Ryuhei Kitamura just felt like parody at points!
Wow Fear Effect looks really impressive for the time!
It was!
I get what you're saying about backflipping off missiles in Twin Snakes, but personally I am all for that kind of overthetop action. I mean in Revengance you had cyborg Raiden RUNNING on missiles to reach a helicopter.
That aside though, people barking for a MGS remake are the same who bark for a Resident Evil 1 remake, to which we alle say: It already exists.
Speaking of unreleased was the ps1 onimusha got demo released or leaked?
Never heard of Onimusha on the PS1! Going to have to check this out 🙂
How about must have M rated Dreamcast games?
In the works 🙂
Every time I look at old psx + n64 titles, I'm reminded of just how bad most of the 1st-gen 3D games were. It took a long time for developers to figure out how to do 3D well.
Na
No Parasite Eve?
Part 2 in the works!
No Syphon Filter?
Part 2 in the works!
Did Thrill Kill actually get a rating?
Yes we’re taking it way back to the beginning of Sony PlayStation great games
Those were the days!
@@thatvideogamesshowabsolutely I’ve been blessed to see all from 1980-Now
I agree with your comment about the Twin Snakes. That "remake" is an absolute abomination that disgraces the Metal Gear name.
Borders on literal parody at points 😅
and still Twin Snakes never got to Switch
Tenchu 2 had 3 playable Characters
Some of these have absolutely no reason to be M-rated. Vandal Hearts? Dino Crisis?
What's that one in the thumb nail?
Tenchu 2 🙂
MGS the best🔥
The GOAT!
Fear Effect might have been the first time I saw a gay/lesbian main protaganist in a vidya game.
Wrong, I have thrill kill :)
timestamp!
