I hear Spyro a lot. Post what you got though

>> No.9567917

Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider for early PS1. MGS1 and Syphon Filter were more impressive than Spyro I think

>> No.9567943

Omega boost, bitch

>> No.9567983

Alien Resurrection - Screenshots don't do it justice.
Silent Hill - Obvious choice
Tekken 3 - Another obvious choice but with 60fps
Driver 2 - Amazing use of the limited PS1 ram.

Vagrant Story is a reliable choice. It's basically the peak of what you could do with "native" realtime tricks and makes the most of not only the system's strengths but also it weaknesses. For example, the approach to texturing makes their ridiculously low resolution look GREAT somehow, avoiding that muddy low color depth texture/shading artifacting you see in lots of late PS1 games.

I just recently saw someone going full-force-fag, shittalking the way Spyro looks, just the other day. It was probably on here, too. But I think Spyro, and especially the first, has a strong art direction for what it lacks in technical fidelity. That’s the big reason why the remakes are so divisive.

Terracon. Doesn't look that impressive on screenshots, you have to play it yourself. The in-engine cutscenes are especially impressive. Put's some early PS2 games to shame.
