Playstation,Gaming History,30Th Anniversary

For Sony's PlayStation 30th anniversary, instead of listing the best games, this piece focuses on the most influential titles that have had a lasting impact on the gaming industry and PlayStation's success.

This was originally going to be a list of the best PlayStation games. It's the 30th anniversary of Sony's industry-shaking console, so it made sense to pick the best, but that's not so simple when looking at games that are decades old. What does"best" even mean when looking back that far? A lot of retro games have been superseded on newer platforms, and some of the classics were bettered multiple times on the original hardware.

To me, what truly makes a game special, a standout classic worthy of recognition, isn't just how you feel about it now but the impact it had.

We're not including honourable mentions, despite having a list of cut games that people will obviously be angry about not being included. Picking 10 was a little painful, especially for a handful of games that just slipped off the list like a last-second drop on a coin pusher machine as you were about to walk away. Such is life.game to show off what this new console could do - and it played superbly too. It's hard to understate how much of a 'wow' moment this was 30 years ago.

But there's also a bit more to it than that. As well as being an incredibly well-timed mascot, Crash Bandicoot also did something genuinely new, in providing a different take on what a 3D platformer could be. Where Nintendo sent Mario out into an open, free-roaming environment, Naughty Dog's small team, developing Crash simultaneously, opted for what they jokingly called the"Sonic's Ass" idea, placing a camera directly behind the platforming character.
