As you know I can't reply so I'm posting my point as a new topic:

It was mentioned on SR that PS2 games can't currently even come near to the quality and playability, etc of Dreamcast games!

In my opinion I think that PS2 games will get better! There graphics will be improved upon, the sound quality will get better, games will be more playable and so on!

Remember the PS2 which I will not touch with radiation proof gloves has only been out for less than a month so the games will have been rushed a lot like the console was for it's release!

However this does not mean I have changed my opinion at all about Sony! I still hate their console market! I've got a great diskman from them though!

TTT doesn't even touch SC - i'd like to see someone try and beat me with button bashing tactics !

As for Shenmue, i don't think you can really class the games as sequals. Its a story thats been broken down into many parts - a lot like star wars. Most sequals are something that is just added on later with new this and new that with the main female characters going up by another 3 or 4 bra sizes.

Final Fantasy games are sequals because the stories to that series are stand alone games rather than follow ups. But Shenmue is something different in that its not something thats followed up because the original has become popular. Its always been planned to cover over an amount of games because it is such a big story.

Blah blah blah TTT kicks @ss, at least the PS2 will still have new games coming out in March AND Smuggler's Run is rather fun.

I can't be bothered to reply to people who just can't take that the PS2 is the best console and will for a while to come.
