The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
After reading some posts moaning about boring threads, I thought I'd...er...add to them :P
This post isn't groundbreakingly fantasticallistimo, but it should (hopefully) make a change from all the retarded posts filling up the PS2 forum right now.
Yes, my love for PS2 is continually declining. Why? How? Who? Well, it all started...
*cue ripply effect to show transition into flashback*
Wow! Xbox Live! *buys*
*cue another ripply transition back to current time, GMT of course*
That's it. Since discovering the wonderous magic of Xbox Live, I have played on my PS two a mammoth 1 time, to have a quick go on SOCOM.
Now, PS2 future hanging in the balance, I reflect on the good times. We've had classics aplenty on this vertical black box of tricks. We've experienced the next-gen greatness of classics like Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, Grand Theft Auto 3, MGS2, Final Fantasy X etc. We've had not-so-classic yet still highly enjoyable games like Manhunt, Vice City, Tekken 4 and Prince of Persia (OK, that would probably count as a classic IMO). And we've had to tolerate literally hundreds of titles that would make you peel your own skin off and go for a swim in a vinegar lake. Yes, they were that bad.
Now what do we have to look forward to?
Gran Turismo 4? Meh, I've pre-ordered Prologue, but I doubt this is going to be a patch on Project Gotham 2.
Final Fantasy XI? Yeah, we're really going to see this in the UK before it's too late!
Splinter Cell 2? See Xbox.
Even Sony-sellers like Resident Evil have moved on to other consoles. RE:Outbreak? Sod that, RE4 is the real gem.
So what do we have? Well, There are now only two (maybe 3) games I am showing interest in on PS2 - Killzone and San Andreas. Not really much is it? And they're both a long way away.
This isn't a post on how you should all go and get an Xbox with Live, I'm just pointing out the fact that Sony don't really have any 'killer titles' on the horizon and that I am afraid I may be forced to offload my PS2. Again.
These days, anything worth buying for PS2 is available on Xbox or Gamecube. Splinter Cell 2, PoP, even Pro Evo is dabbling with Microsoft - there's another Sony Exclusive out the window.
So, what does the future hold for Sony's current generation of console? Be honest now, and think hard. I know a lot of you disagree with me but come on, can you really say that you are looking forward to Ratchet & Clank 3? Yet another Dancing Game? Yet another Jak ripoff?
Put your minds hard to work. Even the online aspect has sadly failed. There was so much potential yet Sony weren't as comitted as they claimed. Microsoft went on and on about how Live would kick ass. and it did. Microsoft did something right for a change. Nintendo said they weren't too bothered about online gaming. They have now proved they don't need it.
Now, looking at the time, ansd summarising on this post, I will stop now before I drag it out.
Bullett's Final Thought
What is left for the PS2? At least for us Europeans, can you see anything outstanding coming this way? We've already been denied the HDD along with FFXI, what else are they going to keep from us? Is it worth staying with Sony or should we all go elsewhere where the companies there have got it right?
What do you think?
DISCLAIMER - The HDD has NOT been denied, just that it seems to be taking forever to reach us. It's early, so sorry if this post doesn't make sense and I've just wasted 5 minutes of your life. I'll send you a replacement 5 minutes in the post :)

I could never get rid of the PS2 not because I'm a diehard fan but because of the Final Fantasy series. They are really the only things I play these days. I dappled with Jak but found it so boring I immediately fled back to Nintendo.
I already have an Xbox and a Gamecube. I'm just beginning to wonder why I still have my PS2 and if there is any future for Sony's machine at all.
Xbox is continuing to kick ass IMO
