Ah yes! The sweet sounds of the PlayStation startup are clear in our minds. From the beginning, Sony’s powerhouse gaming empire has transcended gamers to new heights with incredible exclusives and titles filled with innovative storytelling, memorable characters, unbelievable worlds, and breathtaking moments. From the first PlayStation to the PS4, we have ventured into new IP’s, new concepts, new iconic characters, and new exclusives.

Not all our fan-favorite titles from Playstation old made a return in PS4, with many games yet to make a return appearance. Not all titles can grace the presences felt where we have become a demigod like Kratos, adventured in uncharted territories like Nathan Drake, or had electrifying powers like Cole MacGrath. But it doesn’t mean that the titles hold near and true to our hearts. Let’s take a look at the forgotten titles that we hope make a comeback on the PS5 ,whether it be a sequel or remake.

10 Dino Crisis

Originally marked as a PlayStation exclusive, before branching out to other consoles. Dino Crisis, is another masterpiece from Shinji Mikami, director mostly known for the ever-popular Resident Evil series. Both games were vastly similar in gameplay, level design, and female protagonist leads.

Simply change out the zombies for dinosaurs and you have Dino Crisis. The game earned critically acclaimed success and great fan reception from players earning two more sequels in the process. However, since then this franchise has not made its appearance. Let’s hope it receives the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remake makeover on the PS5.

9 Vagrant Story

From the makers of Square Soft (now Square Enix) came the awesome PS1 RPG titled, Vagrant Story. At the time of the PS1 conception, the developers juggled this critically acclaimed RPG with the other series of Final Fantasy. Both garnished huge success from critics and fans alike with Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX being other memorable successes from Square Soft.

However, unlike its popular cousins, Vagrant Story never reached sequel status despite its critical and sales success with great visuals, an in-depth and diverse combat system, creative puzzle solving, and interesting plot surrounding cults, conspiracy, magic, and other themes. Maybe we will see a remake of this classic after Final Fantasy VII?

8 Heavenly Sword

At the time of the PS3 release, no game tried to rival the god slaying title of God of War. Until the release of Heavenly Sword came about which was similar to the hack and slash formula and quick-time events God of War was known for at the time. The title produced from Ninja Theory, the makers behind the Devil May Cry reboot and Hellblade series, put gamers in the role of the female protagonist, Nariko.

You fight against an evil army led by a king voiced by Andy Serkis, looking to take over your clan’s territory. Heavenly Sword looked beautiful with its gorgeous graphics, top-notch voice performances, addictive action gameplay, and concepts like motion controls in certain moments. Maybe we will receive a sequel or perhaps a remaster in the future?

7 Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

This PS1 classic made by Crystal Dynamics, the developers behind the recent Tomb Raider series, was a joy of a game to play. It follows the dark adventure of wraith protagonist Raziel as he exacts vengeance against his former vampiric general Kain.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver boasted a fun combat system, excellent platforming, Shakespearian like voice performances, puzzle-solving, impressive graphics, and an interesting plot filled with betrayal and twists with a gothic aesthetic. The game was so well received that it gained two sequels on the PS2. We would love to revisit the story soon.

6 Medievil

Bring back our favorite one-eyed ghoul Sir Dan Fortesque from eternal slumber. We have followed the creepy adventures of this warrior from his first appearance on PS1 to the sequel set in Victoria-era London that followed. Like many PlayStation icons like Crash, Spyro, Parappa, and many others, Dan represents part of the nostalgia of the past generation Sony games.

Medievil was a classic blend of interesting level design, fun combat, a wicked antagonist, creepy cutscenes that set the tone for each level, and let’s not forget the many personalities from the Hall of Heroes. The game recently got a remaster, but we would love to look forward to a long-awaited third installment of this underdog to hero fantasy tale.

5 Final Fantasy Tactics

Another Square Soft classic hitting, the list, is Final Fantasy Tactics. Different from the traditional exploration and combat scenarios seen in the other Final Fantasy titles. It is more like a chess game with characters used as pawns to utilize both offensive and defensive strategy, and master abilities of magic, ranged, and melee attacks.

The game holds up well with its original plot, memorable characters, and diverse class system to battle the opposition. There were several spin-offs and a sequel of this awesome tactical role-playing game, including very fantastically made Tactics Advance on the GBA which you can sink a ton of hours into. It will be great to see a remake of this game, with full 3D models and animations. Please make this happen, Square Enix.

4 SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals

Before there was Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands and other popular cooperative third-person shooters on the market, there was SOCOM. This game utilized strategy and voice commands, which were the first time PlayStation utilized the headset functionality within a game.

The game gave players freedom to either command your three-man A.I. team on offline mode or join your friends on online mode to tackle objectives and complete missions. This series was ahead of its time and helped set the standard for online co-op multiplayer games to come afterward. We can imagine a Tom Clancy like makeover for this game and we think it will do well on the new console.

3 Twisted Metal

Let’s bring back the mayhem of Twisted Metal! We would love another game in this twisted web of carnage and destruction to make waves on the PS5. The last game was eight years ago on the Playstation 3, which had a decent share of favorable critical reviews and fan reception. Bring in some new wacky ideas and innovation to this already crazy vehicle mash-up for Sweet Tooth and the gang to get their diabolical hands-on and it’s sure to bring new and old fans alike into the chaos.

2 Resistance

Some first-person shooters were highly talked about on the PlayStation consoles, one being Killzone which received a sequel in the latest console generation with Shadow Fall. And the other is a game called Resistance: Fall of Man.

Both the first game and sequel garnished favorable reviews and a fan base that plead for a return to kick some Chimera tail with an enriched story, intense gameplay, and bleak survival setting. Not likely that we will receive another game on this current console generation, but can we potentially see it on the next-gen?

1 Syphon Filter

Many gamers are accustomed to the stealth espionage genre with Metal Gear Solid, Splinter Cell, and Hitman dominating the market. However, another agent is missing from the assignments, his name is Gabe Logan. Siphon Filter was an instant classic on the first PlayStation console.

Allowing us to take out enemies with ease with our tactical prowess and arsenal of weapons that include a very satisfying to use taser that can turn enemies into charred toast while they scream in agony…Oh, the sweet terrifying sounds. Gabe Logan’s presence is long overdue and we hope he makes his return to the agency on the next PlayStation console.
