PS1 shooters

[Anonymous No.4642724]

Name some good first-person shooters for the PS1. DOOM, Quake 2, Medal of Honor, Disruptor and Powerslave seem like the obvious choices, is there anything else worth mention? Also, which one is the best and why?

[Anonymous No.4642732]

I really liked Kileak 1 and 2. The first one was one of the first games that I got for the PS. Even better was BRAHMA Force, that game was really awesome.

[Anonymous No.4642737]

These look pretty similar to Forsaken/Descent and the like. I could never really get into these kind of games, I feel like something is missing if I can't see the actual guns.

[Anonymous No.4642760]

I tried Doom for the Ps1 and it's not that good.

[Anonymous No.4642770]

What was bad about it?

[Anonymous No.4642805]

>>4642770
the music. the thrash metal/grunge MIDI music from the og doom is sorely missed in the ps1 version. theres creepy atmospheric music in literally any other game, but they HAD to fuck with dooms soundtrack. not cool. not a welcome change.

not who you responded too, btw.

[Anonymous No.4642808]

>>4642805
Personally that was one of the highlights for me. I liked the atmosphere added by the ambient soundtrack and colored lighting. The DOOM soundtrack is 90% trash, if I want to listen to something badass while I play I'd rather just listen to real music like Alice in Chains. That MIDI metal is straight up dirt, half of it doesn't even fit the game, especially in DOOM 2.

[Anonymous No.4642847]

>>4642808
Yeah, there's like 3 good tracks on the whole Doom soundtrack, and they are featured in the first few levels.

[Anonymous No.4642859]

>>4642847
Yep, completely agree. Not to mention a lot of the songs get repeated over and over in later levels. There are a lot of things to love about DOOM but the music isn't one of them.

Neck yourself you tastless pleb. Doom's thrash metal soundtrack was top-tier way back when and the remix of it is still top-tier today.

Never played it but I see it getting rec'd from time to time.

It keeps getting recommended b/c it's one of those early console shooters that can control like a modern FPS (move/strafe w/ left stick, aim with right stick).

>liking DOOM's soundtrack
>calling anyone else tasteless
If you think the majority of DOOM's music is good, you haven't listened to much music. The very fact you'd even say "way back when" is pretty much an admittance of how much it fucking sucks and that you're purely biased out of nostalgia. A lot of it is generic 3 chord riffs, droning beats the repeat over and over, and some bizarre stuff like the music for The Underhalls that sounds like some shit from Santana's Corazon Espinado. It's hot garbage.

[Anonymous No.4642896]

The PS1 Version has a great remixed soundtrack as well as the exclusive plug and pray episode.

Shame it has such a poor framerate.

Alien Trilogy (also on Saturn on PC)

Great game, but PC is definitely the way to go with this one. The digital controls on console do not feel right.

I'm not him, but I don't judge games on whether they were "good at the time". I judge them on whether they are good now. Doom, though, is a different case. It front loaded its good tracks, like many arcade shooters did. They are good, but the tracks get more and more uninspired as you go.

>written on a retro video gaming forum. ironic.
Because some things can actually be good despite being old, while the praise of others is due solely to nostalgia. Case and point, DOOM's gameplay is timeless but the music was, is and will always be dogshit.

music is subjective. and i like doom's soundtrack. so does the other anon. so do alot of people and im sure alot of people dont like it either. but to inject personal bias and parade it like fact is a shitty way to go about discussion maaaan

Everything is subjective. I'm not parading anything as fact, but to say that most of the tracks from the DOOM games are somehow good music when they are generic and simplistic as fuck is pretty laughable. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to my opinion that your tastes are shit.

Calling things that don't agree with your fragile sensibilities "hostile" is a sign of weakness. It's what pussies and liberals do.

I will, because that's actually good music.

[Anonymous No.4642950]

I honestly think Doom is the best of the bunch. Disruptor is pretty dated, and most PSX shooters just struggle to run on the hardware. Especially given that many of them have PC versions (not all are ports, Alien Trilogy was ported TO PC) that are just better to play. Quake 2 runs great but just isn't very fun.

[Anonymous No.4642963]

>>4642950
Hang on, they made Alien Trilogy for consoles first then ported it to PC.

Wouldn't it have been better to do it the way around?

What I meant was the game might have been of higher quality had it been developed exclusively on PC then ported to consoles later like Duke Nukem 3D and DOOM.

Lmao, nice revisionist history faggot. What actually happened is that you didn't like the "hostile" way I spoke to you and started to cry about muh feelings. It's not like I even called you autistic or anything, I just said you had shit taste for liking crappy old MIDI metal and you became instantly butthurt over it, which is why I redirected you to redd1t because clearly this is not the place for you if such minor "hostility" bruises you so easily.
>if im a worthless piece of shit for this, than what are you?
Someone that doesn't use the memory of a legitimately good guy as a tool to try and make a point. I have no respect for anyone that does that. Layne played a lot of games and actually had good taste in music, so for all we know he might have thought you were a gigantic faggot too.

and all you have been doing is bitching about me telling you to chill out, jesus dude stop calling my kettle black already.

"so hostile, chill out" vs literally anything you have typed out so far. hmm. im scratching my beard over this one still.
also, layne was someone who had no patience for jack-assery. he'd have told you to stop listing to his music if he'd have seen you now. and thats not me "using the memory" ...that was his literal personality on all accounts.. he also punched nazis. lmao.

I played a little bit of it, like the first 3 levels. It's pretty bog-standard when it comes to the shooting and the plot really isn't a strong point. The only real appeal is the cheesy FMV cutscenes.

This is ENTIRELY based on what you grew up with and are used to. It's a big shock. but after a while the score really grows on you. Give it a try. I like it mor ethan the original.
