I saw this video today of a developer still missing on gog and thought more people might find this interesting.
It does focus mostly on Amiga and Playstation tough which is a bit dissappointing seeing G-Police and Rollcage looked so much better on the PC and Psygnosis made some awesome PC exclusives like Lander, Darker and Pyrotechnica which this video didn't cover.

Interesting that you mention Psygnosis. I have a copy of Novastorm (PC) and have been playing it on and off the past week or so. Good rail shooter with good production values (it has a lot of FMV stuff) but it's a bit on the difficult side. Would be nice to see that game here, though it's a DOS game and works fine off the CD with just Dosbox.

I bought Metal Fatigue at a thrift store a couple of months back but haven't touched it yet.

I seem to recall that Psygnosis (or what was once Psygnosis anyway) is now owned by Sony.

What was once Psygnosis was acquired by Sony in 1993 or so, became Studio Liverpool and was terminated gradually between 2010 and 2012.

Psygnosis were purchased by Sony way back in 1993, but they no longer exist; Sony pulled the plug on them in 2012.

That's an interesting tidbit. I always thought Psygnosis as an Amiga, and later Sony console (Playstation) developer, even if PC ports came from many of those PS games too.

Interesting to know they did make some PC exclusives as well. I'm also a bit surprised none of those you mentioned ring any bell, albeit the Lander cover picture on Mobygames looks oddly familiar. I could almost swear I even own that game (just haven't played it ever), but maybe not.

As for Psygnosis' Amiga-era games, frankly I felt they made games which were a real feast to your ears and eyes, but a bit empty on the gameplay side. That didn't stop me loving e.g. Barbarian, Menace and especially Obliterator.

Any news on all the games and IPs? They're still in the hands of Sony and the probability to see them on here is next to zero, right?

I know they did Novastorm not just for PS1, but also for PC, 3DO and Sega CD. They did stuff on non-Sony consoles from time to time.

Yeah I know there were PC versions of many of their PS1 games, but I wasn't aware they made some PC-exclusives as well.
One of my favorite titles under Psygnosis is Drakan: Order of the Flame. I can run it, once the patches have been applied, on my Windows 7 64 comp, but not sure if it will run in Win 10. Hopefully it will make it here someday, along some of the other Psygnosis games.

Yup, Sony own the games. As for any chances of them being released here, I would say that they are currently zero, but they could be improved if GOG start having luck with major Japanese publishers and/or Sony start releasing their own stuff on PC.
