Thinking back, I think most PS2 games could be replicated in a downscaled degree on the PS1. All we had during the PS2 era was more characters on screen and sharper graphics and better AI. Did we get any sort of generational advancement last gen?


Rhetorical question, there.

Soul Calibur, Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry are the games that come to my mind right now.

Soul Calibur was just a boosted up Soul Blade.  Resident Evil 4 was just Dino Crisis with better graphics.  Devil May Cry was just a stylish action game with fast gameplay mechanincs.  They could have changed up Soul Reaver and made that game. 

Soul Calibur was the first 3D fighter with a proper 3D movement system. It also was the first to add air throws, air control to prevent long juggles, guard impact, spirit charge unblockables, and bounce launchers. Biggest leap in 3D fighters in the history. Everybody copied elements from it.

Resident Evil 4 put the camera in a place allow me to see always what was happening in front of me. That allowed Capcom to remove the auto-aim. They added close combat moves on stunned enemies. The knife become useful in combat.

DMC was the first of its genre. It mixed elements from fighting games and adventure games to create something new.
