They did the job, and did it bloody well it seems!
(the Cube version is still the definitive, it seems, but you can't have it all :P)

I can still remember discussions with people telling me "the PS2 can't do it".
Well, yes it can, and we have extras, too.
I'm never one to say "I told you so", so to those people I say:
Re-arrange these words to form a well-known phrase or expression...
THAT STICK YOUR SMOKE PIPE IN AND IT

Extra weapons, extra costumes (if you're into unlocking that sort of thing), Pro-Logic II surround support, true widescreen display, "more cutscenes and more than a few hours of extra gameplay".

All together now...
Resi's comin' home... it's comin' home... it's comin' home... it's comin...
So the Gamecube basically got one new game out of the 'exclusive' deal.
Don't get me wrong... I liked my 'cube. I still like the machine, but I bought it primarily for the Resi series. Once it was decided that they were releasing 4 for the PS2, I decided not to keep it - purely because it was lacking in software support. I'm sure many find Ninty's own games more than sufficient, but they've never really worked for me.

Might pick this up on the cheap once I've bothered to get a PS2, bothered to get the lik-sang Xbox pad converter and bothered to play through my copy for the Cube.
But before that: Click Here
Might be a bit busy. |

Some of those titles are about 3 years old. Have you just not deleted them from the list, or have you been living in a cave with no power? :-)
EDIT: Actually, one is seven years old!

I'm getting them cheap and I've only gotten back into RPGs in the past year or so.
It doesn't have to be new to be good or fun.
If you have a look at the game I actually do own you might see why I've yet to pick a few of those games up.

So true. Although half the old PC games I get suck, but all the old console games (i.e early Cube/Xbox etc) that I used to get were good fun, some real gems that people left in favour of more popular titles.

If it's on a console I own then I might.
Otherwise I'll get it much later when it's cheap.
Coming from someone who likes sprite RPG's I thought you'd be the one suggesting a few pre-playstation titles I should get.
Have you played Angband?

And sometimes it depends on the price. For instance: True Crime for 10 quid is a great game but a rip-off at 30+.

I didn't say it did. Though I still feel personally that old games are never as good when you go back to them.

You should stick some of those on eBay - you'd make quite a bit of dosh. My Paradroid for the C64 sold for over £20.

Now that I'd have to disagree with.
A crap game is a crap game, whether it cost £10 or £40.

Nope.
A decent sandbox with a fun story, daft missions and fun stuff to do is worth 10 quid.
It's not worth 30 because it's not impressive enough and the missions aren't the fun bit of the game.
It's like picking up a short game and blasting through it never to pick it up again: much better when it's cheap and a bit of a waste at full RRP.

Haven't you worked out yet that I'd be approaching these games having never played them before? There's no 'going back' to speak of.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I don't see any point in buying a game, even for a tenner, if I know I'm not going to enjoy 90% of it. (Note: This is just me I'm talking about, no-one else. Others, like yourself, may see a point - but I don't.)
As for 'short' games - the majority of games are relatively short anyway. If I know I'm likely to enjoy it, I've no objection to paying the full RRP. These days, though, I know I'll probably be able to get a game online for about £25 and sell it on eBay for about the same.

Of course I have. No need for the confrontational tone. I was just passing a comment in what until now has been a civil conversation.
To clarify - I didn't literally mean going back to a game that you've played before. I meant that, what was a good game in its day, isn't going to have the same impact today.
e.g. Duke Nukem was utterly brilliant in its day, which was only a few years ago. However, having played the Half Life's and CoD's of today, it seems more than a little bit pants - regardless of whether or not you've played it before.
I've played a few 'classics' that I originally missed, either by picking them up cheap or through emulation. Almost without exception they've not been worth it - because the same thing has usually been done far better since, and they don't hold the interest. So I don't bother any more.
Now, to clarify again - that's just my opinion. If you don't share it, fine. I'm not telling you not to buy/play the old games, I'm just giving examples of why I personally don't bother.

It's simply about value for money, in someways it's more enjoyable playing a bargain.
Getting an enjoyable 8 hours play out of a game you paid 5 quid for is better than getting an enjoyable 8 hours out of one costing 40 quid (partly because with the money saved you can get more enjoyable games).
The only ones I pay fullprice for now are online ones (because it's fun to be there at the start, and you're guaranteed the servers will be active with players) or ones where there's a nice shared experience/community vibe (when everyone went through Fable/Morrowind swapping stories etc).

Duke Nukem is still one of the best offline multiplayer games, excellent level design, co-op and very varied ways to bump opponents off.
Plus the humour and references aren't topped by most modern titles.

What are the new weapons? That's all I'm really fussed about, and even then ... not really. Atmosphere is the most important thing, and so the GC still wins.

According to the official PS2 magazine a few months ago, the new Ada missions will show what Ada was doing during the game, in a kind of Resi 2 style. One of the missions shows why the bell rings at the beginning of the game.
