The original PlayStation housed some of the most influential games ever made. From Final Fantasy VII through to Resident Evil, Tekken, and more, many genres were defined for years to come by the classic releases that made their way to Sony’s console. However, history hasn’t remembered every PlayStation game, and a few great games have therefore slipped by the wayside. So what are the most underrated PlayStation games ever? Let us know in the comments below, and as always we’ll feature our favorite. Paul Tamburro, executive editor: To be honest, my experience with the original PlayStation almost solely consists of playing underrated or downright terrible games. For whatever reason, I chose to avoid every popular release and stick to games that no one else bothered playing. This meant that while everyone else was playing Metal Gear Solid, I’d decided to invest in Lucky Luke. I was a moron. But being disinterested in … [Read more...] about Tell GR: What is the Most Underrated PlayStation Game?

Tell GR: Where Should Assassin’s Creed Go Next?
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey reviews have gone live, including GameRevolution’s own. We liked it a reasonable amount, with its ancient Greece setting proving to be a memorable location that our reviewer had a lot of fun exploring. However, with Ubisoft now having explored a whole bunch of different settings and time period, where’s left for the team to tackle? Assassin’s Creed‘s location is always the star of the show, no matter where its story goes. Allowing players to jump through time, Ubisoft’s open-world franchise has transported us aboard pirate ships in the Caribbean, the industrious Victorian-era London, and ancient Egypt in Assassin’s Creed Origins. Of course, there’s still plenty of history for Ubisoft to explore, though it already feels like the developer has nailed many of the most popular eras. So where’s left for Ubisoft to take us to? Should Assassin’s Creed‘s creators stop looking towards their … [Read more...] about Tell GR: Where Should Assassin’s Creed Go Next?
Exclusive: A Quiet Place director on when to use sound… and when not to (plus, why he originally wanted more music in the movie)
A Quiet Place came out of nowhere earlier this year to become one of the best movies of 2018 - and certainly one of the best horror movies of all time - thanks in no small part to its use of sound. If you haven't seen the film yet, you can probably guess from the title that sound... or the lack of it, is a big part of the storyline, but as director John Krasinski reveals in the above exclusive behind-the-scenes video, it played a much bigger role in the movie than you probably realised. You can watch the video for yourself above, but Krasinski - who also wrote and starred in the movie - reveals that he originally wanted a lot more music in the film, but changed his mind once film composer Marco Beltrami came onboard. "We were unbelievably lucky to get Marco," says Krasinski. "Marco had done some of my favourite scores like The Hurt Locker and World War Z and these things that are big, actiony things, but have so much heart. He does that in the music."He adds: "He wrote all … [Read more...] about Exclusive: A Quiet Place director on when to use sound… and when not to (plus, why he originally wanted more music in the movie)

Original Assassin’s Creed producer on its decade-long success: “I’m still surprised”
Assassin's Creed is one of the biggest video game franchises in the world more than a decade after it debuted, and original producer Jade Raymond has done pretty well too - but she's still amazed to see how far her co-creation has come. Raymond, who is now general manager of EA Motive Studios (which includes several of the publisher's upcoming Star Wars projects) talked about how it felt to look back in a keynote interview at Develop: Brighton earlier today, attended by GR+'s Alex Avard.The Guardian's Jordan Erica Webber asked Raymond if there's any one recipe for crafting a successful video game series, and Raymond got real for a moment before diving into her answer."I've gotta be honest, I'm still surprised about how successful Assassin's Creed is and how it took on a life of its own," Raymond answered. "When we started working on it, we did have a plan to make three games. We wanted to, we were super excited. And we also felt like since we were getting this great opportunity to … [Read more...] about Original Assassin’s Creed producer on its decade-long success: “I’m still surprised”
