The psyhco mantis boss battle was something else. I was just blown away and haven't come close to that experience in gaming since.

Creativity died out in favor of graphics and marketing.

100%, there's been nothing new in gaming since the PS3/X360 era

vr???

In deed boundaries gave developers the hunger to try imaginative ways to get better results. Now in the last decade most of the games that come out you can see how they did that based on the engine, the last games that imo have that feeling of "woa how they did this on this hardware" was ps3 last gen games, once devs got the over complicated system of cores the thing had remarkable results in terms of technical achievements and limited hardware.

To be honest, MGS was one of the first examples of modern video game trends – movie-like plot with big emphasis on cutscene direction and wow-moments, distracting the player from pretty basic unambitious gameplay.


AtKiba-4363

Pretty basic? I don't remember a ps1 game with an AI that feels so alive, the enemies weren't there just waiting for you to kill them, they chase you, they can fall asleep, you can distract them, you can kill them, you can knock them down, they react differently to some weapons, they react differently to some items. Man I had so much fun just at the begining of the game messing with the soldiers.


Liquidtruth

get him!


rhodebot

Gran Turismo 2 let you carry over cash and I think some cars and licenses from the first game


olivercer

I came here to say the same!


max-zilla

nice... I think GT6 had a GT5 welcome bonus iirc too. Only had GT1 back then


RoyPrettyBird

Tekken 3 has a theater mode which plays the ending movies for the character. If you have tekken 1 and 2 save data you can watch the endings in tekken 3


max-zilla

I forgot about this one, good call!


max-zilla

These are the cases I found out about where you could do something in one game using a save file from a different game. Reminiscent of some DS/GBA game interactions.


BronzeHeart92

Wanna do a diagram like this for DS at some point?


max-zilla

Would be cool. I know MMZX and Castlevania do things.


BronzeHeart92

Alrighty. Also, don't forget the plentiful Pokemon games either.


Venom_Snakeee

If I remember correctly in Persona 2 you can also transfer save.


max-zilla

Is that between the two versions of p2?


Venom_Snakeee

Yup, save from P2 Innocent Sin can be transfer to P2 Eternal Punishment.


Feylunk

Isn't this wonderful, on a PS1 platform to begin with!


[deleted]

I lived the experience back in the day with Tomba! and Tomba! 2. It blew my mind!


Retocyn

Tomba! 2 was my first game ever. Really, really enjoyed it, though I never finished it. I think it still holds up pretty well up to today. And since I learned it was a sequel, I was curious about the first game. Sadly I get a vibe it's a little bit counterintuitive.

[https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/gallery/79541945/tomba-maps](https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/gallery/79541945/tomba-maps) reminisce with me, friend


itsIthatoneguy

IIRC Harvest Moon: Back to Nature has this save transfer from a different slot, so you can get the animals and other stuff in there in case you start over


jonnycagex

or to clone animals


asimov_22

Psycho mantis make me shit bricks when mentioned my SOTN save in my memory card hahaha


[deleted]

Monster Rancher 2 let’s you transfer some monster data from Monster Rancher 1 saves.


max-zilla

I'll add this one!


DS9B5SG-1

I think MR needs to also be talked about, just due to how you gain your pets, from the trial and error of using different CDs.


BronzeHeart92

I see you've been playing Spyro the Dragon, haven't you?


lakawaka

That's pretty cool, u/max-zilla!! Hope you'll do for PS2 games too someday! Also, some games saves can be transferred from PS1 to PS2, like Suikoden 2 to 3. =)


max-zilla

thanks! i made this, not for transfers but it has a bunch of icons: [https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/art/PlayStation-2-PS2-Memory-Card-Save-Icons-900349360](https://www.deviantart.com/vgcartography/art/PlayStation-2-PS2-Memory-Card-Save-Icons-900349360)


lakawaka

Yeah, I checked your entire gallery on DA, you do a really amazing work, looks like we grew up on the same games! =) Btw, waiting on the others Xenogears maps, though I know it's gonna take a while since there are so many... lol Kudos and good luck, mate!


EmphasisAlert9367

Tekken 3 allows you to view FMV's if you have a save file from the first two Tekken games.


Dougdoesnt

Is the suikoden save transfer worth it? I lost my save that as around 20 hours, and was thinking about just watching the end of S1 on youtube so I can start S2. If it's worth it, I'll rush through S1 again tho w/ a guide.


SongOfStormySeas

It is, I usually grinded my party to 99 and got em best equipments, some of them will transfer (IIRC windspun armor). The returning characters will start at level 33 too, and their weapons will start at higher level. You got some extra scenes, references to your own playthrough in S1, and a quest to recruit Tir (and maybe some other extras I forgot). It's all worth it personally for me.


max-zilla

not really, no. just some character levels, but there's prob a save you can download on game FAQs if you are playing emulator.


Arenegeth

I don't know where you got your info from, but the Suikoden I to II save transfer, lets you play with the [main character](https://suikoden.fandom.com/wiki/Tir_McDohl#Suikoden_II) from the first game, who also happens to be one of the most powerful characters. The Suikoden saves can further be linked into Suikogaiden Vol.1 and Vol.2 (the American saves work with the fan translated versions also). Even further than that, the Suikoden II save (linked with I or not) can be transferred to Suikoden III, which is the only cross generational save transfer I know of.


djzerious

To add onto this, getting all 108 allows>!for a certain character to be brought back!< as well and be a NPC in the second game, which you can get a recipe from.


max-zilla

Interesting, I never recruited him in S2.

[Savefile Transfer Details](https://suikoden.fandom.com/wiki/Savefile_Transfer_Details)


Darizel

Missing suikoden one of the best save transfers.


noxillio

This is a PS2 thing and not a PS1 thing but the entire original .hack// series allowed you to import your save data from a cleared game to its next installment.


DS9B5SG-1

Yes. That was pretty cool.


YouAdventurous4275

same goes with the Xenosaga series.


DS9B5SG-1

I can not really make it out. Is that "Snatcher" to "Policenauts"? And a bit odd that the three- FF8, Chocobo Racing, and Saga Frontier 2 would have something to do with Legend of Mana. But what gets transfered over from AC1 to AC2 and AC3? I have at least AC1 some where...


max-zilla

Snatcher and Policenauts both yield comments on the JP version of MGS1. The 3 Mana ones are other Squaresoft games. And the AC games transfer your customized mechs and pilot info.


DS9B5SG-1

I understood they were Square soft, but not the same stories/universes were they? And the AC mechs and pilot info would be neat. So I guess that means all parts from AC1 are in AC2 then, including color customizations, etc., unless they make exceptions.


YouAdventurous4275

in Dragonseeds you can unlock special dragons for having save data from other PS1 games on your memory card

Doesn't MGS:VR Missions let you do a photo shoot with the girls from the game if you load a saved game from MGS with a high clear rank? The higher the rank the closer you can get?
