life-force tenka is the best FPS (graphically speaking) on PSone , where is my sequel SCEE ?

omg that game was awesome. You had a 10-in-1 gun with lasers and miniguns and rocket launchers. Only played the demo.

 

[jeremy_ricci]

Crash 3
Tekken 3
Vagrant Story
MGS

That is all, IMO.

 

[Philanthropist]

ICO beta? Whaa? Do elaborate.

ICO was originally going to be a PS1 game.

Great thread. But you guys should post more screens of the games if you can.

 

[vagabondarts]

chrono cross and FFIX

Same here, but the demo lacked bad guys to shoot so I had fun just morphing the gun to different modes :lol

You just blew my mind because that is something I truly did not know. Perhaps this is information suitable for the "Video game facts that blow your mind" thread?

Thanks for the schooling and educational video!

my mind has also been blown. I think this would have been damn good on PSone but it was damn good on PS2 so i can't complain.

 

[Redd]

Vagrant Story

Soul Reaver

Tekken 3 and if ICO hit on the psone than that.

 

[Foxix Von]

My vote goes for chrono cross.

However this thread makes me wonder, was the PS1 really that much of a visual powerhouse or is the PS2 just THAT bad?

 

[jett]

The people mentioning MGS...have you even read the thread title? Yes, those characters with no faces sure are the most impressive 3d models on the ps1.

Tobal 2 is the real answer.

Watch this and be amazed at the ps1.

Bitches don't know about T2, sadly. 60fps, hi-res, amazing animation, highly detailed characters. All in early 1997. Blew my fucking mind when I imported the game back then.

Yeah, those environments sure do put MGS to shame...

What PSOne game had the most impressive in-game realtime 3D models and animation?

Hello McFly, anybody home?

Tekken 3.

Smackdown on PSX had absolutely appalling modeling/rigging/animation.

 

[Roxas]

Fear Effect!

[Lion Heart]

Holy shit! That looks like Doom 3 on my PC

 

[Dali]

Vagrant Story is the first game that comes to mind. That game still looks pretty good.


Hokuto No Ken: Seiki Matsukyu Seishi Densetsu

This game rocks. It's basically a beat-em-up and can admittedly get repetitive, but I'm an HNK fan so it being Kenshiro and reliving some of the moments from the show doesn't ever really get old. The best part is when you are fighting a group of enemies and this minigame is initiated. You hit the correct button presses and they all die horrible deaths just as though you were Kenshiro. Seeing the poly's that make up the bad-guy's head expand like that... The boss battles have similar minigames and you even say the classic you're already dead, you've got 3 seconds to live line.

The animation is kind of iffy, but the models are close to Tekken 3 only with a lot more on screen, making it more impressive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw3J7tIO_SI Get's good at 1:15. This is a boss battle so it may look like a fighting game, but it's a beat-em-up. The video says epsxe, but you can still gauge how awesome the graphics are running on a PSX.

 

[Jigsaw]

vagrant story of course,even today when playing it today on psp it looks better than most retail games x)

i also found dino crisis pretty impressive (the raptors had awsome animations)

 

[dallow_bg]

Hello McFly, anybody home?

That's exactly why my vote went to Tobal 2 as well.

Best models and animation.

Third vid is copied wrong.

The second vid is an awesome remake of the intro with PS1 graphics... awesome

 

[Klytus]

Tobal 2 by a mile. It looks unlike any other PS1 game out there.

Squaresoft had a near-untouchable run of drop-dead amazing games in the mid-nineties. Tobal 2, Einhander, Internal Section, Vagrant Story... God, I miss pre-merger Square.

Fist of the North star right?

reminds me of Godhand

 

[shouamabane]

Soul Blade was really amazing at the time.

 

[TylerPwnsYou1986]

For human models and animation, probably Tekken 3. As for most impressive graphics on the system, I'd say something like FFIX.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdWifJioVoo

It's amazing how far they pushed the system. I wonder if the DS will ever be able to match that.

Holy shit that is fucking awesome.:lol Ive played FF9 before, but i dont think i got that far.

C'mon, that's a Playstation 2 game, right?

Are you blind? Vagrant Story looks good for the PS1, but it looks no where near PS2 quality.

 

[Madman]

Did you ever see God of War 2?

That was news to you? In that case, did you know Onimusha also started out as a Playstation game? I think it was close to being completed too, but Capcom decided to move it to the PS2.

[jaydogg691]

I've never heard of Tobal 2, but it has one of the weirdest cast of characters.

My vote goes for chrono cross.

ummmmm MGS2's unveiling and the collective ejaculation by gamers everywhere when they saw a watermelon burst open says hello.

 

[Manmademan]

Vagrant story runs roughshod all over the competition here. The game is simply spectacular.

ICO-beta is seriously good stuff, but as it was never actually finished and released...ehh..I dunno if it counts

My vote goes for chrono cross.

The PS2...bad??

Amazing how far they pushed the PS.

I forgot how pretty FF9 was. Hell with some aliasing that could pass for a decent PS2 game.

The wrestling game was also really good looking for a PS game.

 

[Synless]

There are only three answers and all of them came from square, FFIX, Chrono Cross, and Vagrant Story.

 

[vagabondarts]

only like the first half of that ico video could possibly be ps1 graphics...

still...

awesome.

Wow. Haven't played that game in ages, but you're right that's a really good running animation.

 

[FoxSpirit]

Square had a real knack for streaming effects off the disc on the PSX.

 

[Mr.Potato Head]

Einhänder... just load it up in PXSCe and look at how glorious it still looks.

that game is still bad ass even today.. hell even the explosions were ace in the game..

Does this game still hold up today? Don't have a PSP anymore and I thought Dark Mirror was awesome. Hopefully they do a next gen version and do it right, or they port it to the PSN. Either would be great.

The ps2 could outperform the xbox 1 in certain areas my friend...

 

[anaron]

Final Fantasy 9?

Totally agree along with Chrono Cross.

 

[Jirotrom]

I see amirox has yet to stroll through this thread.

Tekken 3

yes except if it were running on the Xbox it could have looked even better.

 

[miyamotofreak]

Smackdown 2. That and Here Comes the Pain were so epic.
