Which one was your favorite, /vr/?

>>10878891
Tomba! was the one thing the PS1 had that really was comparable to Zelda in its focus on completing quests through exploration and experimentation.

>>10878891
The only ones I even know of are the Alundra games

In Silent Hill there is an overworld and dungeons, it's also my favorite PS1 game so I guess it's my Zelda-killer
>>
>>10878958
Legend of Mana isn't even vaguely similar to Zelda outside of both having fantasy settings. It's a decent game, but designed to be played with a guide unless you plan to replay it multiple times. It's decent though

Well, Alundra 1 is basically a larger, meaner LttP with an actual story, though it's pointless to compare it to the N64 Zeldas, which I assume is the "point" of the op.

The irony of the second Alundra though is that, though it's 3D, it can't even hold a candle to the original 2D Alundra.

I love the psx, but there was no Zelda-killer that generation. Nintendo got it incredibly right in the Adventure/Action RPG genre. And in the 3D platformer department with Mario 64 for that matter. Most other genres they got beat out by plenty of games on psx or even a few on Saturn. With Rail shooters being a toss up between the 64 and Saturn. Alundra was a good copy of A Link to the Past, and there were a couple other 2D things around that time floating around. But in 3D, OOT and MM are the best of their generation.

Psx had a game with a fox that was an ok rip-off, I forget the name but I’m sure someone knows it. If you count the Tomb Raiders or Soul Reaver they’re probably the closest to a great Zelda type game in 3D. King’s Field’s, Medievil. Neither hold up to OOT.

At least the PSX had better games in the genre than Saturn. Sure, there was Legend of Oasis, Magic Knight Rayearth and Shining Wisdom and Linkle Liver. But they were 2d. Dark Savior was ok but it’s not really 3D either. In 3D the Saturn had Virtua Hydlide (an incredibly bad game) and… Baroque? Tomb Raider 1? I guess? It’s a stretch to call either Zelda like. So… nothing worth playing at all?

>'Le Dark Souls grandfather'' game from Spain
What game?
>>
>>10878972
Interesting way of viewing that. I never thought of it that way. I guess that's why the old school REs feel suddenly like a role-playing game (like Zelda or Dragon Quest) at the time to me on recent playthroughs.
>>
>>10878891
I could never get into this game, the girl is ok but I find the guy's design utterly unpleasant. Fucking bald baby with ugly hat and pizza cutter sword.
>>
>>10879197
The OoT roll is really a lot more interesting than Souls'. It lowers your hitbox under high hitting attacks (while backflipping does the opposite and raises it) and its iframes can be hard countered by strong attacks. So OoT has a really diverse set of defensive mechanics that each have potentially specific uses that just unfortunately don't matter in the original game, so you're only going to see them taken advantage of in source code mods.

People do this because it's obviously the best. Zelda is amazingly better executed than anything competing against it.

Most of these games try to do their own thing within the 'Action Adventure' genre though (which is a positive)
The exception seems to be Alundra thats almost a literal clone of AlttP.
None of these would classify as 'Zelda Killers' but I did have fun with several of them.

Alundra is the greatest Hydlide clone of that generation. Best puzzles with light years of difference, far less reliant on the repetitive formula of just using the last item you picked and constantly entering menus. It has the best dungeons, the best world map, the best pacing, the best music...
If we're talking about 3d games. Well, Zelda OOT was heavily inspired by Tomb Raider to begin with. Soul Reaver is superior to Zelda in various aspects (better framerate, recorded dialogues, more interactive environments with more verticality, a more agile character that you can fully control, a world that feels far more unique than Zelda's typical generic fantasy...)

i remember i figured out that if you accidentally hit that shitty windows key and tabbed out in the middle of a jump, when you tabbed back in it would blast you across the map and through walls sometimes, so i used to do that and try and get out of bounds or to different parts of the game i wasnt supposed to be in

Yeah. Instead, you get trial and error and mixed with random bullshit. I love having to hitting a switch to grab a falling barrel that'll either land in 1 of 4 spots at random before it shatters hitting the ground with only 4 - 5 tries, and then have to leave the room to reset the puzzle and repeat the process all over again this happens often. L-O-V-E IT!

Very few games are actually like Zelda. Most games of the sortgo the Action RPG rout more than the Adventure which Zelda excels at. ARPGs are much easier to design than puzzle/exploration based games.

PS1 - Harry Potter 1,2
PC/PS2 - Hobbit
PS2 - Maximo 1,2

I very loved Harry and Hobbit at childhood. N64 wasnt popular in my country. And when I finally played 3ds Ocarina, I was dissapoint. I wanted more linear adventure with collactables. Its fine game, but this list is more fun adventures.
After some time I played Maximo and this exactly, what I want, 10 of 10.

There aren't any PS1 games that are similar to Zelda. Unless you think every game where you have a sword is "like Zelda".

It's a fun game calling it, among anything, a "zelda killer" is simply ridiculous.

I'm sorry but you can't compare a linear gauntlet game to the exploration and backtracking offered by any typical Zelda.

If one is so lost he needs things like "buy" and "sell" to be translated he's not worthy and should stick to telling himself that "if the game wasn't released for me in my country that means it's shit". Menus can be learnt, the important things are the dialogues, and in the case of what's shown in that video most fan translations wouldn't have done that better.

ive never been subject to the marketing surrounding ff7 (thankfully) but in a way, i kind 'sort' of see it, if we're talking specifically about the older zelda games. hard to put into words what it is, but its definitely a competitor to the quality of older zelda titles. with oot, i don't really see it. there's barely any platforming either.

Lol, it's the precise opposite. The reason people hold those games in such high regard comparatively is *because* they've played tons of other games and simply found them lacking compared to Mario/Zelda/Rare shooter/platformer due to how incredibly refined those games are.

Goldeneye is better than Doom/Quake/Thief
Zelda is better than all RPGs, period
>>
>>10891845
Never reply to biased fags like her unless they can name several games in their respective genre that launched around those games that are supposedly better.
But you're right. It's not that 'tendo "did it first", it's that in most cases they did it better.
>>
>>10891845
>because* they've played tons of other games
N64 had the smallest library at the time and the library is so garbage 99% of N64 fags kept speedrunning Tech Demo 64 out of boredom, which is why it became its own hobby for tendies.
>Goldeneye is better than Doom/Quake/Thief

By the time anyone 'learns' Japanse to a level sufficient enough to read games, AI has surpassed it by miles.

Sucks to be you then, waisting time and energy on something like that.

TLDR: Fuck learning japanese and just use AI translations.
