I would love a Hogs of War remaster! So funny and genuinely fun to play

Remaster is in the making for some time now.

Amiga: Lemmings
Megadrive: Sonic 2

PS1: Final Fantasy VII

I haven’t really dedicated that much time to the more recent ones to be honest. PS2 was probably the last console I properly hammered.

 

[horsechoker]

I don't.

[The Cat]

Needs a bit of love for PGA Tour 2 on Megadrive as well forgot that spent hours playing it.

 

[FrankDrebin]

PS1- Resident Evil
PS2- Pro Evolution Soccer 4
XBOX360- Fallout 3
PS4- Death Stranding

 

[Pexbo]

PS1: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater

I would love a Hogs of War remaster! So funny and genuinely fun to play

Brilliant game. Basically 3D worms.

 

[MadDogg]

Megadrive - Shining Force 2

SGenesis - Shining Force 2

Thought I'd be the only one. Played that game way too much as a kid, to the extent that I actually tried writing a novel based on the game. Pulled out the old Megadrive collection on the PC a few months ago just to give it another go.

Megadrive - Shining Force 2

PS1 - Final Fantasy VII
PS2 - GTA San Andreas
PS3 - Battlefield: Bad Company 2

PC - PlanetSide 2

 

[Bebestation]

I'm an FPS guy - I loved Black Ops 1 on PS3 and then next generation was Overwatch for me.

Before all the COD's & 007 games I was a fighter and Skater guy - Tony hawk and tekken or street fighter

 

[Zen86]

Ooh I forgot to add PC. Too many to choose from.. Unreal Tournament / Ultima Online / Age of Empires 2

 

[FrankDrebin]

Atari- Cannon Fodder

 

[Abizzz]

I'm not huge into consoles, but have fond memories of this on PS1:

 

[Ainu]

- PS1: Metal Gear Solid
- PS2: GTA: Vice City
- PS3: The Last of Us
- PS4: Bloodborne

I never owned a Nintendo as a kid but over the years I've played just about enough to do a list on most generations.

- SNES: Final Fantasy VI
- N64: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- GC: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Switch: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Last but certainly not least, the equivalent eras on the PC:

- 1993 (SNES era): Doom
- 1998 (PS1 era): Half-Life
- 2004 (PS2 era): Half-Life 2
- 2011 (PS3 era): Skyrim
- 2015 (PS4 era): The Witcher 3

Thinking back mid-to-late-90s PC gaming was undoubtedly the greatest era of video gaming ever for me. The list of games I played around that time is ridiculous. Duke Nukem 3D, Age of Empires 1/2, Diablo, Red Alert, Half-Life, SiN, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Tiberian Sun, Populous: The Beginning, Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, Carmageddon 2, SimCity 3000, Quake 3: Arena, Unreal Tournament, etc. And you include the year 2000, you get the likes of Deus Ex, Diablo 2 and Red Alert 2 as well. What a time!

 

[Jev]

PS1: Tony Hawk 2
PS2: Jak & Daxter (MGS2, Beyond Good and Evil and GTA: Vice City as runner-ups)
X360: Braid (honourable mention to Borderlands 2 and GTA5)
PS4: God of War or Bloodborne

 

[Reiver]

Amstrad: Fantasy World Dizzy
Commodore 64: Bubble Bobble

NES: Super Mario Bros. 3

SNES: Tough one as its my all time favourite console but - Chrono Trigger
N64: Ocarina of Time
Gamecube: Metroid Prime

XBox 360: Red Dead Redemption

PS1: FFVII
PS4: Witcher 3

 

[Tiber]

Ooh I forgot to add PC. Too many to choose from.. Unreal Tournament / Ultima Online / Age of Empires 2

What a game. I just hope AOE4 is going to be a lot closer to AOE2 than AOE3

 

[Organic Potatoes]

There are so many remasters and remakes these days that it hardly seems worth differentiating between the last two generations. I would probably get some wrong because I played a better version on a later console.

It is more relevant to older consoles with more defined differences.

 

[peridigm]

Atari 5200 - Space Invaders
NES - Legend of Zelda
Xbox - Def Jam fight for NY
Xbox360 - FIFA whatever
Wii - Guitar Hero
Switch - BOTW
PC - Need for Speed/COD original

 

[Hound Dog]

Gameboy: Warioland (Super Mario Land 3)

PS1 : Metal Gear Solid
PS2 : Mortal Kombat Deception
PS3: PES 09 - Would probably be top of my list for every Playstation, but I played this one so much that I do not recall playing anything else on PS3
PS4: Red Dead Redemption
PSP : Need For Speed (can't recall the version - the only driving game I ever completed)

Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
Switch: Super Mario Odyssey

Off topic : PC - Might and Magic VI (not heroes, just might and magic)

 

[esmufc07]

Come on @Bojan11

 

[Havak]

PS1: Dino Crisis
PS2: Grand Theft Auto 3

N64: Super Mario 64
GameCube: Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
Wii U: Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate
Switch: Pokémon Sword (so far)

GBA: Pokémon Emerald
DS: Pokémon Platinum
3DS: Pokémon Y

Never owned an Xbox console, Sega Dreamcast or the PS3/4. I'd chuck Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch in for PS3 though as I have played it on Switch and it was one of the only games I was super interested in that almost made me buy a PS3 back then. Haven't included NES, SNES, MegaDrive or GameBoy as I'm assuming the starting point is the Generation where Sony first came into it...

Lots of Pokémon for me as it's what I spent the most time on, but there were a lot of really good 3DS games I enjoyed as well. Much closer to picking something else on 3DS than I was on GBA and DS for example.

Side note: GameCube is actually the best console and super overlooked.

 

[Zen86]

Atari- Cannon Fodder

Commodore 64: Bubble Bobble

Great shouts. Bubble Bobble was probably the first game I ever played properly, and I recently redownloaded Cannon Fodder from Gog. Interesting playing it on a 4K screen

What a game. I just hope AOE4 is going to be a lot closer to AOE2 than AOE3

I got the AOE2 HD refresh not so long ago. I run it for 20 mins and I could fry and egg on my laptop!

 

[Jagga7]

PS1: MGS 1
PS2: Pro Evo Soccer 2/3
PS3: Last of Us
PS4: Horizon Zero Dawn

BOTW my favourite game of recent memory!

 

[Steve Bruce]

This quite difficult, but I'll give it a go.

PS1 - Tekken (can't remember which one)
PS2 - Fight Night Round 2
PS3 - GTA V
PS4 - Red Dead 2

Amiga - Barbarian
NES - Mike Tyson Punch Out
SNES - Star Fox
N64 - 007

Master System - Impossible Mission
Megadrive - Super Monaco

PC - Football Manager

 

[krautrøck]

All the consoles I had:

Atari 2600: 32 in 1 Game Cartridge
PS1: Destruction Derby
PS3: Demon's Souls
N64: Perfect Dark (my favorite console)
GameCube: Metroid Prime

 

[Bosws87]

PS1: Final Fantasy 7 no expansion needed on this.
PS2: Shadow of The Colossus/MGS Snake Eater
PS3: MGS4/Portal 2/Last of Us
PS4: BloodBourne

XBOX: Ninja Gaiden Black
Xbox 360: Gears Of War Series
XBOX ONE: Ori and the Will of The Wisps

Could expand on them but they speak for themselves.

I missed out Broken Sword 1 & 2 on the PS1 what wonderful games those are!

 

[R.N7]

It seems like basically no one bought the Wii U l0l

 

[rcoobc]

Final fantasy VII is such an incredible game. I didn't own it originally but borrowed it for 2 weeks.

That had no right to be a ps1 game.

Likewise GTA on PS2.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

PS1: Dino Crisis

Waiting for this Regina gunning down hordes of dinosaurs is just pure bliss. The 1st one is a lot more challenging compare to the 2nd's difficulty dialed down to too easy.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

PS1 - Tekken (can't remember which one)

Should be Tekken 3, best mechanics in the game series and heaviest assembly of characters for that console.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Final fantasy VII is such an incredible game. I didn't own it originally but borrowed it for 2 weeks.

That had no right to be a ps1 game.

Just curious, why?

Love the unique "blocky + triangle/diamond shaped" characters and the whole visuals of buildings and all. PS1 fits it. The visuals of characters in FF VIII in comparison is just terrible though.. except during cutscene. FF IX make it a bit better but still look.. ugly. Making a FF X visuals out of FF VII will only meant nothing special about FF VII.. it's like the remake, visually I've seen that kind of visuals everywhere. It's a bit boring visually.

Very special in a way. I think it's the only game I've played to have that kind of visuals and unique shaped characters.
