X-box rules. So it's microsoft's first gamesmachine so what doesn't stp it being good does it.
Why don't you people wake up and get into the real world
No, the systme is FAR too hard to program for, how come every DC title comes with it and makes it look smoother???
And extra hardware slots???
In the end, the PS2 wont fit in the shops, thats why they aint selling them there...
Since I am STILL annoyed that I bought a Jap PS2 Im gonna prove yall wrong....
No, the DVD on the PS2 WILL still be software based and YES, it sucks...
The DC already has 100 quality titles out there and if you wanna wine about good games, lets try Code Veronica (just bought it and it looks better than MGS2 in my opinion), Dead or Alive 2 (yes the PS2 version IS a disgrace and should NEVER have been done), Metropolis Street Racer (played the demo and its even the reeal time of day, if ur racing in the UK at 3pm it will be light 11PM dark etc with mists etc etc, Quake 3, Soldier of fortune, Half Life, Unreal Tournament at 40fps (at the minute they have the PS2 version at 15-25 fps and Time splitters looks awful), Ferrari F355 challenge and NO, you want have F360 cus its canned (thank goodness, it looked awful), Shenmue, Phantasy Star Online.... now, name one PS2 game apart from MGS2 that is better than those titles....please?
You can not only buy a good DVD player for £150 but a region free one aswell, better than the PS2s AND its not massive and gold, there are currently 3 models...
And as for the other post....
Because your thinking of back ups....
<- Better games that are cheaper
Depends on your taste, but it's personal opinion. Personally, the games I want are on PS/PS2 - if they were on DC or N64, I'd buy one.>
There are only 5 decent games coming on the PS2, no matter what ur tastes, and dont even try to tell me that NO DC games tempt you, because I know that for any genre you say, there is an excellent game..
<- GD-rom
Eh? The only relevance here is capacity, and DVD wins hands down. GD-ROM is 1Gb I think? Up to 7Gb on DVD. >
HA!! Wrong, DVD is 4.7GB and only one PS2 title is going to use it within the next year, Kessen which was a crap game anyway AND GDROMS load faster, so they have more space than a cd AND load faster...
<- Small
And PS2 is huge, is it? >
Yes, actually, and it leaves dents in my carpet
<- looks better than a ps2
Looks suspiciously like an inflated PS1 though, doesn't it? Imitation is the sincerest for of flattery. >
No, it looks COMPLETELY different, and its funny that you may say that cus Sony are obviously trying to please some toaster company :)
<- 4 controller sockets at the front not 2 at the back in a stupid fasion
Err - PS2 controllers plug in the front, mate! Try looking at the pictures! 2 or 4 controllers - to me - is irrelevant - Few games support more than 2 players, and I can always buy a multi-tap or two and have up to eight! >
So, multiplayer is irrelevant but you brag about being able to play with 8 people??? HA! Sony made 2 slots cus they know that they can rip you off...
<- Better internet connection
An internet connection is an internet connection; if you want "the best", get a PC. As no-one has yet seen the Sony internet set-up or capabilities, how can you claim that? >
Cus, the PS2 will have none from launch day??? And Sega are about to launch broadband...
<- Better memory cards
A memory card is a memory card to me. I don't want a screen on it, it's for storing game saves. >
I bet u loved the PS pocketstation.. and the screen ghelps you organise and trade saves, a LOT better...
<- Better name I mean who thought up Playstation 2 (clever)
Probably the same person who thought up that wonderful DC logo! Why change a name that's already known by millions as the best in console gaming?>
True, especially if its basically the same machine with a few extra beans...
<- Memory cards can be used on Arcade Machines
Well, woo-bloody-hoo! PlayStation memory cards can be used in arcade machines too - mostly things like Dance Dance Revolution. Again, Sega are behind the times.>
Uhhhh, no they cant and Segas release was a year ago and PS2s is upcoming and looks like a 60s toaster with less capabilities... Who is behind the times??
<- Original controller not the same as the saturn
Well, you got me there. But the the original PS controller is so good, it doesn't really need to be changed. Analogue buttons all round is about the only improvment they could make.>
Trust me, the analog buttons are not an improvement cus u have to press them so fecking hard it hurts and CVG members had to go to the doctor once.... And, the PS controler sucked, the dpad was crap, the 3D stick didnt move propery and it felt like crap....
Just to clear things up...
"And the Gamecube and X-box are peices of crap!" please think about it. The PS2 is not more realistic, have you really sat down and compared pictures from each games? (MGS2 and Rebirth are good for comparison) I have. And I can truly say that the graphics on the PS2 are not as good as the Gamecube. DVD playback is let down on the PS2, and most people are buying them in Japan just for that purpose just because it is cheaper. (Yes, the PS2 is cheaper than a decent DVD player, and you get a game playing device as well)
Personnaly, I think chipping will kill Sony this time round, as chips are ALREADY AVAILABLE for the PS2! It took a while for chips to get into circulation for the PSX (X?).
> E3, so check your sources!
Or how about check it out yourself before drawing any conclusions? Rather than take someone else's word for it.
Joe Public won't notice the difference between a decent quality DVD playback or a bad one so....
Bleeders
The Dreamcast is a great system(one of my favs) but it's a piece of crap compared to the PlayStation2 and even the PlayStation! Oh yeah and MGS2(metal gear is my fav series) is do in 2001 not 2002. And the Gamecube and X-box are peices of crap! I mean come on, if u really look at PS2's graphics they look the most realistic(and the best) even if the others are more 3D! If you ask me you should all get the good system, wich is the PS2.
p.s. The dvd is very good quality and everybody even said so at E3, so check your sources!
