Over the course of the lifespan of the PlayStation 1, some games made it clear that things were never going to be the same again, and other games didn’t have that immediate impact. It’s the latter we’re focusing on here, with 10 PS1 games that were ahead of their time. From innovative features trapped on otherwise average releases, to excellent titles that simply came out too early in the PlayStation’s run to be properly appreciated, these are the games that told us in one way or another where the industry was headed, even if the games themselves didn’t know it.

Tekken 8 patch 1.06.01 brings to us the debut of Lidia Sobieska. While this is technically a big update having a new DLC character on the roster, the patch doesn't have much to offer aside from new content. As previously stated in patch 1.05, that will be the last update with major buffs and nerfs coming to the game, at least for Season 1.

Reached the Shang Tsung Laboratory? Kongratulations! Now you’ll have to solve a Klue called the BACK STABBER in Mortal Kombat 1 Invasions Season 7. You’re going up against a Gears variant in this part of the game, and you’ll need to stab him in the back! No no no, it’s not a revenge story we’re talking about. In fact, you need to literally put a sword or something at his back, and I know an Earthrealm warrior who does just that with precision cuts.

Capcom has guided franchises such as Resident Evil and Monster Hunter spectacularly over the years, but other properties under the company’s belt haven’t had quite the same luck.
