With the XBOX and the GAMECUBE coming to the market in Japan and America, could the PS2 be dying? This has probably been discussed before, but i don't care.
The biggest problem with the PS2 is graphics. When it was released we were promised graphics to wet our pants/knickers over. When i saw the opening video for Smackdwon 3, that was exactly what i did (only joking). But if any one has been bothered to watch the opening vid to Smackdown 3 they will know what i mean. The graphics are stunning! they look almost real. When i pressed start and was greated by a very tacky Michael Cole introduction i started to cry. The graphics in game where OK, but nothing compared to the video.
I know that game developers struggle to make the in game graphics as good as the opening and in game vids, but why bother? Why not just concentrate more on the in game graphics and less on the vids.
Don't get me wrong. I admire the great work that is involved in game making, and i feel that the PS2 has made a great improvement on game systems in the European market. With consoles such as N64 and Dreamcast leaving me lying awake at night wondering why anyone would release such...t**d consoles.
Max Payne is a game that i have played on the PC and loved. Now it is coming to the PS2 in a week. Hail to the lord!!! or should i? from what i've heard the PS2 version of Max Payne does the PC and XBOX versions great injustice. Obviously i will buy it any way (Nothing beats the Matrix/John Woo style game play. I get to be Chow Yun Fat and Neo at the same time, YIPPEE!!) but if the game is as bad as every one says, i will be very disheartened.
With games such as MGS2 and Stuntman making an apperance on the market soon, perhaps the PS2 still has chance. But if Sony don't pull their fingers out, then i can see a certain company having to re-think the whole console thing.
If any one has anything to say, good or bad, please feel free to reply to my post.
Tah! Brad

Hee hee! Have you considered a career in comedy?
Yeah, awful graphics. Just look at Airblade and you see how poor they are (notice the sarcasm in my voice).
Just think one day WWF games will probably look that good. It gives me hope for the future.
"With the XBOX and the GAMECUBE coming to the market in Japan and America, could the PS2 be dying?"
I have thought this for a while now, and I'm glad to see someone else, albeit a JAT, sharing my opinions :D You're on Salevaa's good list :D
"The biggest problem with the PS2 is graphics. When it was released we were promised graphics to wet our pants/knickers over."
Not many other people think this, but I do agree, in that I am far from impressive, as we were promised. Just look at that windsurfing game on the PS2 - the graphics are nearly identical to that of a PS1 game. Call me ignorant - go on!

GT3 graphics, were they poor?
MGS2 gameplay, is it looking shallow?
GTA3 fun, is it wearing off?
Pro Evolution greatness, is it ever going to quit?
Apart from the last one of these which is a maybe, the answer is NO! And a big one at that.
PS. Don't listen to Salevaa, he talks crap! :D
