I pretty much only played RPGs and multiplayer games like Twisted Metal on PS1&2, so I missed out on this series. Is it worth checking out? What’s the gameplay like? Do you think it has held up?
All three games have aged a fair bit, but they are still the same masterpieces as when they first launched. You can get used to the gameplay pretty easily, but story and the cinematic presentation are timeless, they’re the best parts of the games bar none. The only true clunkiness comes from the menus, which are pretty confusing and unintuitive these days.
They are all classics and you should at least try them.
I don’t have an answer but am commenting because I’m in the same boat and would also like to know.
Tough question. Worth checking out, yes, but that’s almost just for batshit insane story moments and sick boss fights/concepts.
Gameplay, has it held up? That’s tougher. I think the controls for 2&3 especially show their age. They’re very fiddly.
FWIW, I came to the series very late. Probably 2013ish on the release of The Legacy Collection for PS3.
