Lets face it, these 2 systems gave millions of ppl the best entertainment during thier eras. I meanif yourandomly pick5 PS1/PS2 games chances our atleast 4outa 5 you would like. Thewide rangeof games for these systems is just SICK. I always said PS1 was better than PS2 because PS1 lasted longer as i felt sequals were still fresh unlike PS2's.can anybodylook back at both system'sgames and debate which is better?

Some PS1 hits(Just Naming Games)

MGS1, Twisted Metal 1, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Gran Turismo(1 or 2), Final Fantasy 7, Silent Hill, Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Tony Hawk, Silent Hill etc.

Some PS2 Hits( Just Naming Games)

Grand Theft Auto,Devil May Cry, God Of War, Smackdown( vs raws gamesuck though), Racthet/Clank, Socom, Jak/Daxter, Sly Cooper, Madden NFL, ICO(didnt sell well though), etc.

Can anybody decide a winner?

Also what are the chances PS3 will have that same sitaution?

PSone for me.

Favorite console of all time, bought a PS2 expecting the same and I was disappointed for the most part. Thats what influenced me most into getting a 360, if PS2 disappointed me and some consider it to have the greatest console library, why would it make sense to get a PS3?

The PS1 was the seed that spawned many of the PS2's biggest titles as well as having a (in my opinion) much better library. I don't think there are any PS2 games that would be associated with being 'classics', and there are countless on the PS1.

Even though I was a bigger Sega Saturn fan, I owned a PS1 cuz it was awesome. I never bought a PS2 cuz it didn't interest me at all. So PSX gets my vote hands down.

I pick PS1 for its selection of RPGS. Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 7, Vagrant Story, Star Ocean 2, Suikoden 2, etc. Pretty tough to beat.

I'll vote for 2. The sheer size was incredible. Also, if some of the great franchises were created on ps1, they were perfected on 2, so even those franchises were better on the whole with ps2

Playstation- The best Metal Gear Solid
THe best 3 Final Fantasy games in FF 7, FF 8 and FF 9. FF X was good. but XI and XII stunk.
Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Resideent Evil 1, 2, 3 nemesis.
Syphon Filter
Spyro(the good ones)
Twisted Metal
Tekken
Crash
Tony Hawk 2, Silent Hill
Chrono Trigger

The playstations never really had the OMFG games of the gen. |

I mean personally the 64 best 5 games IMO

OOT, MARIO 64, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie 2, and Perfect Dark were way better than the PS1s best 5 IMO MGS, FF 7, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis, Vagrant Story, Chrono Chross

Also last gen personally I thought Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Resident Evil 4, Halo, Kotor, Ninja Gaiden, etc were much better games than the top PS2 games(although 2 systems versus 1 was kind of the reason) but outside of MGS 2 no other game was really a big favorite of mine.

But thats where Playstation usually dominated i never needed them to make me a favorite, just depth. No star game, just a bunch of great games.

Thats why the PS3 struggles, its missing that depth advatage sony has had, without it Sony really doesnt have anything big for me at this point besides my Love for MEtal Gear Solid.

You need a poll, c'mon now.

As for my decision, jesus I'd have to go with Playstation, soooooo many godly games on one console (the N64 wasn't too shabby either.) Megaman Legends, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Parappa the Rappa, Tekken 1-3, Castlevania: SOTN, Mortal Kombat: Trilogy, MediEvil, Road Rash 3D, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, I could go on all night.

QFT

Black is underrated. Well, not by Gamespot (9.5), but by the general public. It was a launch game which is maybe why it didn't make the splash it should have.

PS1 definitely gets my vote, while I absolutely loved a lot of things on PS2 there wasn't anything quite as epic and timeless as some of the things I played on PS1.

Durned whippersnappers don't appreciate sprites. IN MY DAY we didn't have all of this new-fangled 3D..okay, so there was Starfox..and Quake, and that Stunt Race FX thing but you didn't have this new-fangled bump-mapping and normal-mapping and HDRerr whatever that is.

PS2 by a long shot, PSone for me just had a bunch of excellent RPG's. PS2 has more variety and i'm a fan of action/beat 'em up/fighter games.

PS1 no doubt. Most of the big titles back than were revolutionary. All that 3D explosion, everything seemed new and different from 2D, so probably that is why i give my vote to PS1.

P.S-you should have created pool on this topic

PS1, because the gap between SNES and PS1 graphics was just enourmous. I will never have that feeling ever again.

Booting up Resident Evil for the first time on my new-smell PS1, man that was really something. PS2 never gave me that feeling, so I'm voting PS1.

The 5th generation was an unforgettable one. I don't know if there ever will be another like it.
