- Medievil might not have sold too well, but the game’s sequel appears to be getting a remake.
- Some cryptic tweets from the game’s composer have got people saying the sequel is coming.
- As good as Medievil 2 was, there are many games out there more deserving. Here are just 3 of them.
MediEvil was a classic PS1 game, and it got a somewhat decent remake. But, it did not sell as well as the other PS1 remakes of the past few years . So you might imagine some people’s shock that a Medievil 2 remake was actually going to happen.
If some cryptic tweets from the game’s composer, Andrew Barnabas, are anything to go by [Twitter], we should get Medievil 2 quicker than we think.
As great a piece of news as that is, it certainly makes you think of some of the other PS1 titles which are deserving of a remake. So here are 3 critically underrated PS1 games that really need to make a comeback.
If you’ve never experienced Soul Reaver then you’re missing out. Medievil 2 might have had a dark aesthetic, but it was overall pretty goofy. Soul Reaver goes full gothic. It’s a plot of betrayal, revenge, mutants, and vampires.
This action-adventure game was originally produced by Crystal Dynamics. It tells the tale of Raziel, a vampire betrayed by his master and left for dead. Revived s of years later he comes home to find his brothers mutated beyond recognition and his world in tatters.
I can already hear people asking “What?”. Wild 9 is a game that almost no one I talk to seem to remember. It was back in the day when people still made 2.5D games and it’s awesome. You’re basically a man with an electric whip who runs around bashing enemies to a messy pulp against walls and floors.
It might not look like much, but trust me this is a fun game and don’t forget Medievil 2 once looked like this. | Source:
No, this is not a PS1 game based on the movie or book. Heart of Darkness is a cinematic platformer directed by Eric Chahi, the man behind Another World (Out of This World in NA).
It’s a pretty dark, and brutally hard, platformer in the same style as Oddworld Abe’s Oddysee. Except in Oddworld you’re a strange creature who turns into motes of light when you die. Here you’re a young child who gets eaten alive, drowned, squashed and 188 other gruesome things that shouldn’t be happening to a child.
As you can probably tell the Heart of Darkness is as brutal in tone as it is in difficulty. If Medievil 2 is worth a remake, this dark gem certainly is.
So there you have it, 3 underrated PS1 games that I think are deserving of remakes. This doesn’t even scratch the surface of all the great ps1 titles out there.
