Sorry if I missed anyone's favourites in the poll by the way, I wanted to keep it to the main ones, would've been there all day listing every game.

Anyway, I think it would be cool if Sony were to remake some of these classic franchises for the PS4 VR system under the Psygnosis banner.

Psygnosis... so many great Amiga and PlayStation memories; plus Wipeout HD / Fury on PS3 was my first experience of online gaming. Lots of good times.

It would be great if they bring back the Psygnosis brand, with a new Shadow of the Beast and Lemmings coming they could be part of that.

Formula One :wub:
Loved that game. Shame the link across 2 PSX's and 2 TVs didnt always work but when it did it was bliss.
Murray Walker commentary too :wub:

Indeed, may have something to do with the Sony published remake of the Amiga classic...



Edit: From GAF
My wild theory: Sony has bought Heavy Spectrum Entertainment Labs and is turning it into the new Psygnosis

Blood Money was my fave followed by Lemmings.

Wish they would get Roger Dean to do the box arts but video games have moved on from that sadly.

Playing fast and loose with the word 'classic' there, Nick :lol:

Shadow of the Beast was a lovely intro, parallax scrolling, and dying. Lots and lots of dying.

I remember retro gamer magazine raving loads about Shadow of the Beast when I was subscribed to the magazine. I remember loads of people on the retro gamer forum loving shadow of the beast too. I think it's a bit gooseberry fool personally.

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

Lemmings was amazing. It was the music, for me. Takes me back to a very cosy place.

Destruction Derby would appear to be the obvious choice for a comeback, though, as a mass online PSN game.

I just remembered The Killing Game Show. That really should be on the list. Played it for ages on the Amiga and then again on the Megadrive when it was released as Fatal Rewind.

Made by Rockstar North, published by Psygnosis. The perfect pairing.

DMA Design.

Yes I know its the same company, but lets call it by the name it had when it made Lemmings seeing as that's what you are talking about.
