While everyone else fucked shit up, Sony got pretty much everything right. Here's what: the PlayStation was their perfect storm.
Yet the angry newcomer came out swinging and crushed the competition, leaving them asking: what the hell just happened? Many expected it to be an also-ran, at most a distant third place. Publicly scorned and fuming with resentment, Sony decided to take what they had at that point and make their own console. It began as a CD drive for the SNES, but Nintendo noticed too late that the contract was too favorable to Sony, jumped ship, and went to bed with Philips (which ultimately led to the creation of the infamous CD-i). These nuanced mechanics certainly make Soul Edge a fun game to play even today.The PlayStation's creation was a bumpy ride. What’s more interesting is the game’s Active Block and Weapon Gauge system, as blocking will slowly deplete its meter and eventually destroy the equipped weapon. Characters have combos but also have a few slow unblockables and some “Critical Edge” attacks that need a high combo string. Gameplay-wise, Soul Edge bears a lot of similarities with the Tekken series, with one or two key differences. Acquiring the sword is said to provide infinite power - a power that some seek for themselves, and others want only to destroy. Similar to the original Soulcalibur in plot, Soul Edge pits warriors against each other as they attempt to get their hands on the titular blade. The latter lends its name to the first official entry in the franchise, Soul Edge.
15 Psychic Forceįans of the Soulcalibur franchise will likely remember that all of its characters are chasing one of two powerful blades: the eponymous Soulcalibur of light, and the Soul Edge of darkness. Some more iconic PS1 fighting games involve using psychic powers, fighting with dinosaurs, or even transforming into werecreatures. Updated Jby Rhenn Taguiam: While today’s fighting games such as King Of Fighters 15 and Guilty Gear Strive provide just as much fast-paced excitement as other games in their franchise, sometimes even the oldest fighting games offer the most excitement with both their primitive and innovative mechanics. With landmark hits such as Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter having equally-amazing entries for the now-dated console, just which fighting games still hold up to the standards and expectations of modern technical gameplay, visuals, and fast-paced fighting? Unsurprisingly, perhaps, pretty much all PS1 fighting games now have dated graphics, but the gameplay found in some remains enjoyable to this day. Most fighting game fans know that the PlayStation 1 was a monumental console for the genre - after all, it effectively introduced some of the games and franchises that would grow into giants of the modern fighting game scene.
