The Other Worlds Shrine

  • Finally got myself a PS2. For the price of a new PS2, I got a used system, used copies of ZoE and GTA3, and a used Sony remote. Had to get the mem card new, but who's complaining? Just one thing...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I already had Gradius 3 and 4 from a month ago (very cheap :-), and I've played that, ZoE, and MGS2 demo. Now, Gradius isn't gonna factor into this equation, but with ZoE and MGS2, I was actually a bit disappointed with the graphics. After seeing Halo, Gunvalkyrie ( a LOT like ZoE), Rogue Leader, and Resident Evil, I was just expecting the PS2 to be MUCH better graphically speaking (please note, we are speaking about graphics only here; there is no discussion regarding which system is better or which has better games, just graphics). It's basically Dreamcast level stuff. Not that the DC had bad graphics; in fact it had quite excellent graphics. But we're talking about the next generation now. What I want to know is, is it the games I've played so far? What games show off the capabilities of the system better?

Before some of you even get started, remember how I've been saying all along that the PS2 has easily the best games out there and that I actually went out and bought the system. For everyone who thinks I'm trying to pull a Seeker here, I've had the GC for 2 weeks and the PS2 for 1 day and I already own more games for the PS2.......</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Go rent Ace Combat 4, very nice. Also GT3 boasts the PS2 graphics along with FFX. I dunno, I just got a new TV with component. My PS2 never looked so good :)</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>Two "off the beaten path" games : ICO and Shadow of Destiny(this is the most unique game - I loved it!)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Both are on my list and both should be dropping soon. I heard about ICO, about how good it looks and how good it is. Shadow of Destiny I read a bit about a while ago and it seems cool</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I played GT3 a while back, that one does look damned nice. Forgot about that one. Now I gotta find me a copy that isn't Greatest Hits, I hate those freakin' packages</div>
