PS1 Classics you've downloaded that haven't aged well?

I've bought quite a few PS1 Classics, and I've found most of them to still be just as enjoyable as they were back when I first played them. There have been a few exceptions though, with games that I find myself thinking "I used to enjoy this?" Anyone else have this experience?

For me:

Jet Moto 2

Twisted Metal 2

Pandemonium

Dino Crisis

The only classic I've downloaded is FFVII but I haven't played it yet. I did start it up for a couple minutes to see if my old PS1 saves worked with the download version though and just based on that, the graphics certainly aren't the greatest on an HDTV :lol:Texas2089

Yeah, I had a feeling that one wouldn't hold up so well - which is why I've resisted the urge to download it.

Silent Hill

Jet moto and Twisted metal 2. They looks pretty ugly but I still play them and have tons of fun on them. Lol I had to download jet moto just to finish nebulous in first place once. :) It is still worth it.

RE. Worst Voice acting ever.

MGS is baaaaaad too.

Spyro YOTD and RE3 are OK though.

MGS is baaaaaad too.muzik_mafia

the tank controls of RE make he ame un playable, i cant figure out how ppl actually played those games, i havent played the older games since the 90s and i always thought i just sucked a video games back then(my neighbor had a psx, i was still rockin' a 2600) i never realized the games were just crap.

also after playing MGS for ten minutes i thought it was aweful, but kept playing cause it was the only one i hadnt played and gotp was about to come out... anywho, by the first time i saw rex in the game i thought it was the best looking games ive seen in a while lol

I actually just finished Suikoden today and I thought that it has held up very well. For the most part RPG's will hold up well as far as gameplay goes.

I still play through MGS from time to time and it still holds up very well in my mind. The plot is great and I actually love the controls.

I don't know. Most of the games I bought, I've really liked. I have no problem with older games and know and understand they cannot compare to today's standards in gaming. Then again, I don't just buy "any" PS1 game either.

People have to remember, this was 1995 ~ 2000. Most of these games were "top of the line" back then.

Funny thing is we will be saying the same thing about ps3/360 in 10 years timehotfiree

Always ends up that way. It's good when it moves forward, but never discard the past.

It would be because people want to reach the power of movie quality CGI and video games always seem to be five years behind. No game engine can really reach that level yet at it's current capabilities and what you can actually fit in a plastic case at a reasonable cost.

Jet Moto 2

The_Pig_Hostage

lol, This is exactly what I was thinking when I clicked on this topic.

They need to get Jet Moto 3 in there, what with the crazy trick modes and stuff.

It's like comparing NES games 10 years after release vs SNES games 10 years after release. RogueShodown

MGS RE2 Twisted Metal hope they add more

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"][QUOTE="The_Pig_Hostage"] Unlikely. Games from the early PS1 days often feel archaic because 3D game development was still in its infancy back then, meaning that games were necessarily rough around the edges. Developers were still figuring out the basics (like camera control, for instance). I don't think that will be the case with today's games - at least not to the same degree.Texas2089

FF VII
dont get me wrong, the game is still really fun but I noticed a pattern of my fun level and game process
the first part of the game was fun and around disc 2 the game became awsome and when I got my ultima (leveled and ready for use) the game started to rapidly fall

No, it doesn't. Primitive 3d is just hard to go back to. Take any good 2d platformer on the snes/nes/genesis... They'll still play as well today as they ever have.

edit: To be on-topic, I'll throw out Spyro. I knew it wasn't going to have aged well when buying it, though I wanted it for nostalgic purposes... And yet it has aged even worse than I expected.

The only two I've downloaded are Silent Hill, which hasn't aged well, and FF VII, which looks like it was from the ColecoVision era moreso than a PS1 title. A friend of mine tells me I should keep playing it, as it gets really good eventually. Well, I'm playing Final Fantasy XII.
