Right lets get this over and done with shall we?

Where are all the AAA titles we where promised for the PS2??
After all the machine has had so much hype that you would expect something decent to appear by now!

Look at the number of developers creating games for it, with that rate you would expect to see TOP QUALITY games. Not Cheap rushed efforts, 3DO Take note, ie 'No more Army Men games'.
And dont say that Sega's games are a blessing either. Because you only have to look at the games screenshots to come to the conclusion, that they look no-better than the Dreamcast Versions.

And, yes I know, Metal Gear 2 and GTA 3 are being released, but is that it?
Is that all the Playstation 2 has going for it?
What now would give me and so many other gamers a reason to buy a Playstation 2?
With the dawn of the Gamecube on the horizon and even the X-BOX, Sony will probably get the kick up the back side that it so deserves.

Roll on E3, it could change everything.

I wouldn't be too sure...

Sony have a large presence at E3. Looks like they have a lot to show, too.

Sony will not be expected to be quiet at any time, as far as E3 is concerned.
I mean do you 'expect' Sony to be quiet?, after all they have become huge heavyweight's in the industry.
But even with past E3's they where loud too! as expected this year.
But had the Gamers (apart from Metal Gear, GTA, FF) witnessed top quality titles streaming to the PS1 in the past 3 yrs?? The answer:No.

I dont think Sony will surprise many this year. I hope they turn things round for the better.

Unless there is going to be room to swing a tiger between their stands, Sony do have a lot up their sleeve. :0)

sony have a huge user base who are loyal.

i dont know if its a good thing because alot of people are missing out on the dreamcast. I pesonaly think the DC is better games wise but people won't realise it unless the the console has a sony logo on it.

Tragic. Who'd have thought brand names could have such an unjust effect on the games industry. Such is the cruel, image-conscious world we live in.

*sigh*

errrrr....

Well, what about ZOE?? StarFighter?? Formula 1 2001?? Shadow Of Memories?? Crazy Taxi in a few days?? DOA2?? Quake 3?? Unreal Tournament?? SSX?? TimeSplitters?? Summoner??


And as Grix said, Sony have a lot to show off at the E3. And why do you think GameSpot say that the PS2 is the console of the future.

With games such as Crazy Taxi, GTA 3D, GT3, MGS2, Operation Winback, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Evil Dead, Final Fantasy IX and many many more, I think the PS2 has a great future in front of him.
