Below you'll find IGN's picks for what those 15 games should be, based on the nostalgic memories of various IGN staff members. First, some caveats:. You'll notice what seems like several very iconic PlayStation games omitted from our list. We took into account all officially announced or recently released remasters when making this list. So, yes, the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro trilogies are iconic mascot platformers, Resident Evil 1 & 2 are genre-defining horror entries, while MediEvil and PaRappa the Rapper are titles heavily associated with the era.

Now we all know the only problem is that nobody plays this game and it's a shame, really. I've played many of those fighting games, be it stuff like Street Fighter or even For Honor. And I think Blade Symphony is quite unique compared to that. By the way, does anybody know when this F2P Patch 3 is supposed to drop?

But all of those games have been remastered or remade — or are soon to be released in a remade form — and available on PS4. As important as they are to the original PlayStation, it seems silly to include those titles in such a limited lineup when there are more fully realized and modernized versions of them. We've also omitted titles that essentially required a DualShock controller, though some on this list certainly took advantage of it. While it's unclear if a DualShock-style controller will be made available — or modern DualShocks can be plugged in for use — that means it would be silly to include titles that relied on that type of controller. Sorry, Ape Escape, we'll hold out for your inevitable return. There are a lot of PlayStation games to consider in compiling a list like this.
It may be missing some of your favorites — it's even missing some of ours given the limited space. So if you have a recommendation for what should be included, let us know in the comments!And without further ado, our wishlist, which you can see in both gallery and list form below. Bushido Blade Bushido Blade is a brilliantly experimental and cinematic take on the iconic myth of the sword duel. It’s a stripped down fighting game about landing one perfect strike, a showdown between two poised figures silhouetted against a bleeding sunrise.
No life bars, no fireballs. In Bushido Blade, savage instant kills are the order of the day.

Blows to limbs disable and slow the player, hits to vital organs usually drop them. It’s an elegant, visceral game where dishonorable challengers throw dirt in opponents’ eyes, limping warriors swipe savagely at the legs of enemies, and a single step is the difference between victory and defeat. An arsenal of distinctive weapons, diverse moves, and memorable fighters give players an extraordinary variety of ways to inflict death upon one another. There’s really nothing else quite like Bushido Blade. Even its sequel failed to comprehend the magic that made the original a treasure of the PlayStation era. — Jared Petty.
