"XBOX games on the PS2? Who Agrees 2"

XBOX games look great, but they have copied some PS2 games for it. I hope Sony copy games from them e.g. Halo, Dead or Alive 3 etc. Even though it is only on the XBOX, it would be trash if the Sony won't try to copy. Who Agrees?

The ones they're porting at the moment are not worthy (Wreckless, for example) of a conversion.

Jet Set Radio Future on the PS2, anyone?

Developers who make games, and the publisers they use, are free to develop games for any console they want. With very popular games, Sony or MS might buy exclusive rights to it, meaning that other consoles will never see that game (GTA3 is PS2 console exclusive for 4 years for example). Other games are made by people owned by the console maker (Halo is made by a company owned by Microsoft).

Exclusive games (ie. ones which Sony/MS poay to onlky be on their console for a fixed amount of time) and games made by developers own by manufacturers will not be able to be ported across consoles.

Any other games can be ported if the publisher so wishes- it's just that in most cases that have reasons for not doing so.

Helk, I can't remember myself.

Not a success?

I wonder why...

My PS3 forum wasn't a success. But anyway, if the PS3 was invented, would they put on XBox games? I definetly doubt that Nintendo will put their games on it.

Ugh, there can be more games for the PS2 hopefully. Example, Raw is War, Project Gotham Racer etc. More games are needed!

I can see A difference, but not a HUGE difference, not over DoA2 on 60Hz mode anyway.

Still, games are about gameplay, and DoA3 is identical to DoA2. If you have 2, there's no need whatsoever to get 3. That's why I took mine back.

For some reason, I doubt that Microsoft will give their games to Sony. I hope that they do. Xbox sucks, wait a minute.................no, it doesn't suck IF they give some of their games. Damn you Xbox! The graphics are good.
