Devil May Cry games, Tekkens, Soul Caliburs, MGS2, God of Wars. Apparently around 60% of the games ran at 60 FPS.

this thing had a surprising amount of games that genuinely ran at 60fps. the whole 30fps with drops cinematic meme was a 7th gen thing and a result of a push for ultra realism when the technology still wasn't quite there.

I know it hurts, but you need to accept it. PS2 will forever remain King. Had the best games with the most SOVL, last generation of the CRT which adds to the feeling and greatness of it. And so much more, it doesn't matter whether PC has the most games or any other console will beat it because they produce nothing but slop.

>480i instead of 480p
Almost every PS2 game can be played at 480p. It was one of Sony's restrictions for being allowed to release your game on the console.
Only a few companies ignored it and release their game anyways. NIS being the worst offender.

i use component on my wii and i can't go back. it makes everything look a little less blurry. makes an even bigger difference when you keep the image at 4:3. but even if you don't it still looks better. espectially if you soft mod your system and disable the deflicker effect.

>Worst multiplats
Actually the best most of the times, even fucking GTA San Andreas was better on the PS2 than it was on PC at the time.
As for the other consoles, many developers lamented the impossibility to do on other hardware what they could do on PS2, with Burnout being the most famous one.
>Couldn't run games at 60 fps
False, the majority of its library(and im not including the shovelware) did run at 60fps.
>480i instead of 480p
false, it was capable of both and it was up to the developers to include the option to select which one to do, and it being available or not depended on the TV it was used on, not the console
>Huge failure rate
false, cause the "failure" was more often than not a slightly loose screw anyone with a screwdriver could tighten back to how it was supposed to be, and given the console has a high reparaibility rate, it didn't really "fail"
even the first FAT models released in 2001-2002 can still be "repaired" by simply tightening one screw on the optical drive
>Shovelware galore
literally irrelevant, doesn't take away from the amazing games it had
>Mediocre exclusives
with the exception of Halo and Nintendo games, it literally had and even birthed the best exclusives which ended up becoming classics in the entire videogame industry

one of the first games that comes to mind is metal arms glitch in the system, i got it for the gamecube and it looked really good, but i originally wanted it for the XBOX because i know it would pbably look even better. ps2 version looked the worst. even back when i was super young this was my approach to a game i was excited about. even back then i knew the ps2 version would look worst.

the ps2 has enough advantages people do not need to lie and say that it also had the best multiplats because it wasnt the truth in most cases perhaps any case if all 3 consoles were involved unless it was just independent mistakes or oversights of the people making the ports.

that guys shovelware comment is incredibly important because the ps2 came out during a time where the average household didnt even have a computer or internet. so many of us were flying blind when we bought a game. and either we got advice from some gaming magazine, our friends, or we had to just take a leap of faith. ps2 was super easy to get burned on if you bought a game at gamestop or whatever that look cool but could just end up being trash. this was exponentially less of a problem on the other two consoles.

the ps2 was the cheapest console to get published on which is one reason why so many people chose the system. they also had the least involved quality control demands of the 3 consoles as well and this is all documented and talked about online. by the time that 2007 rolled around and the next generation of consoles were out, the majority of households had internet and comuters in their house and they could research shit themselves. in 2001-2004 a lot of people didnt so a console having an unreal amount of trash games was a problem for consumers.

im not arguing this as a fan boy i think every console of that generation had its own strengths and all 3 were worth owning if you had the ability to do it.

whats crazy is it didnt even do that well the interface and controls on the ps2 to use it as a dvd player was way worse than whatever we got to play dvds from walmart. i didnt even try using the dvd function on the ps2 until like 2010 out of curiosity and i got super frustrated with it. it worked in a pinch but i expected it to be a lot more polished considering the dvd thing was one of its selling points

the gamecube was way stronger than the ps2, if the multiplat looks worse on the gamecube its purely on the fault of the team making the port. and in certain cases its an issue of it being a game built first for the ps2s architecture that doesnt translate over to the other consoles. this is the entire reason why there were justified exclusives in this era. some games were just better suited to a particular console. all 3 had their niche they were best at. (which is based)

for every game that looks worst on gamecube there are probably a handful that look better on the gamecube than the ps2. there are a lot of launch games on the gamecube that look better than any ps2 game that came out during its entire life cycle. doesnt mean that the ps2 is a bad console. but the gamecube was stronger in certain areas than the ps2 was.

all 3 consoles had their strengths and were worth owning.

it doesnt matter because despite this the average gamecube game looked better than the average ps2 anyway. thats how far ahead the gamecube was hardware wise than the gamecube. than even by gimping itself with the small discs, the games typically still looked better regardless. that isnt a gotchya that the gamecube had a problem, it only highlights how bad the ps2 games looked.

the ps2 came out earlier than the gamecube so to some degree i can give it a pass i suppose, but when people try to compare the ps2 to the gamecube to somehow attack it, it would be stupid not to point this out as a counter point.

there are games on the dreamcast i have played that looked better than the ps2. and its weird that the ps2 looked so bad because the ps1 was a very graphically impressive machine.

>>716146223
i cant remember i just remember it had issues where it wouldnt put in the command i wanted and it would skip ahead or whatever a lot. the UI wasnt very good. i dont really care much because i dont think the point of a console is to watch dvds im just saying that using a generic walmart dvd player was a smoother experience than the ps2 was- because people cant stop talking about how it played dvds.

99.99% of people who owned a PS2 only had regular TVs.
Interlaced rendering provides a significant advantage, that being not throwing away half your fill rate into the void. The problem that plagued the PS2 was fuck-heads whinging about "jaggies", resulting in devs having to bend over backwards to prevent them thus ruining the performance and quality of the graphics.

there are a lot more games that are multiplats that look better on the gamecube than the ps2. yeah each console had unique architecture and sometimes a port would would surely not make full of use of each consoles strengths. but its a common pattern on average that the ps2 versions looks worse. there are always going to be outliers.

>>716150134
simping for corporations? what makes you say that? im not even a nintendo fanboy and personally i think sony microsoft and nintendo are all shitty. maybe 20 years ago they had a spark of wanting to do cool things people liked but they were always just corporations. and like with all corporations and companies when the older guys who were key to the company leave and get replaced by new people the result is almost always even worse than it was before. im a fan of the ps2 and the gamecube and the xbox. im not a fan of the companies that made them.

Hes on about the Christmas fiasco.

Sony basically knew they couldnt releases the numbers of consoles required for Christmas. They used cheap factories to meet the numbers, told QC to not bother checking the products.

Millions upon millions of ps2 consoles (fat) were returned after xmas because they didnt work. This involved.

>Disks not reading
>No powering on
>Disk drives not connected
>Faulty MB
>Soldering not done
>Controller ports not connected
>Pins broken

Sony had to openly admit they fucked up. They releases new fat ps2 systems 3 months later but the fat ps2 is a piece of garbage and still had huge failure rate because they used cheap DVD drives were the laser would burn out quickly.

Are you sure in the case of MGS2. I have always been pretty sensitive to blur and I always thought MSG2 had pretty decent fidelity. Not super sharp by any means, but it certainly did not blur on motion. Maybe only the NTSC version has the blur? I live in a PAL region.

Sony never fixed the issues with the drives.
The original ps2 drive was fucking trash (Thompson make I've read on some forums).
The slim ps2 used a slightly different model but by the same company.
Super slim ps2 used the same laser again.

All had high failure rates. Even more so if you were pirating games using the action replay trick

Most games had lower resolutions than that. Like 512x400 and lower. Some 60fps games like Ridge Racer V and Tekken Tag were 640x240 but each frame was rendered with 1 vertical shift in pixels, corresponding to the interlaced fields of 480i. In motion it would give the illusion of 640x480 but with even more aliasing than had it been a full frame. I think Devil May Cry also was rendered liked this. Most later games just settled for the lower res and had full frames, especially if the game had progressive scan support. This was all because the frame buffer wasnโ€™t big enough (back in the day referred to as the video memory). This is why PS2 looks like shit on HDTVs and emulators need to deinterlace

That was part of it. PS2 had massive hype and was demoed showing it could render Tekken, FF8, and GT cutscenes in real time. This was actually because it wasnโ€™t real hardware coupled would some tricks. Having PS1 BC and playing DVDs for the price of a DVD player (at least for a couple years until DVD players came way down in price) was the cherry on the top. But what really made it took off was a price cut in early 2002, it dropped from $300 to $200. Plus GTA3 exclusive helped a lot. It got most of the games even though the hardware didnโ€™t deserve it. I remember an interview with factor 5 saying it was really difficult to get anything out of it and that polyphony digital had to have sold their souls to make GT3 look as good as it did.

No. FMVs and audio were the only things that may need to be compressed do to storage limitations, and those aside games of that era were generally quite small. Even something like GTA:SA could've fit on a GC disc if it wasn't for the radio tracks.

There's so much wrong with that. Do you really think the GC only supported 1 texture format? It supported 15. Do you really think the GC didn't support lossless textures at all? Because it did. And of course converting lossy from lossy is going to be bad, but literally no one is doing that and that has nothing to do with the discussion whatsoever. Furthermore GC's S3TC texture compression was much better than PS2's VQ texture compression.
This is why you don't use AI, it'll just tell you (incorrectly) what you want to hear.

The jaggies were caused by the interlaced rendering. To fit into the 4MB frame buffer aka VRAM instead of making 640x480 frames and throwing every other line away, they generated 640x240 frames (or possibly lower like 512x240), one frame for each interlaced field (odd line frame, even line frame). Some modern console games used similar techniques such as Mario Odyssey. But the problem was, a full frame generated with half the lines thrown away is still a higher res image and super sampled and less jaggy compared to rendering a smaller frame. This caused the jaggies. On some early HD sets, in motion it would toss out one field and line double the other resulting in progressive frames that were 640x240 until the motion stopped

640x480 will still be jaggy as hell. 240 vs 480 isn't enough of a difference to make it worthwhile, especially when you're cutting the framerate in half to display frames as 2 fields, rather than one field per frame.

640x480 is pretty nice looking, Xbox games tend to run at or above this res when running in 480p mode and they have a very clean look. That might be thanks to the prevalent MSAA in Xbox games however. GC and PS2 run most games are the same 512x448 resolution but they have a slight horizontal blur stretching the 512 to 640, which does soften the image and give it the impression of more clarity as the image takes up more space on a SD display.

I rendered this progressive vs interlaced, and it has a difference, but the progressive one still looks like rehydrated ass because the resolution is still way too low. That's why Nvidia pushed FSAA so hard when the GPU model came along.

Its not the interlaced rendering that was the issue rather the PS2 did not support anti-aliasing. My understanding is that many ps2 games applied some sort of blur filter to the progressive frame. This resulted in PS2 games being Vaseline smeared messes. God I hate the Vaseline smear lovers and how they ruined the PS2.

What games did the Xbox use AA in? One of the features of the 360 backward compatibility was applying AA to Xbox games.

Anyone remember this game?
I remember buying it and being impressed but I don't think it held up at all.
Don't see much discussion on it

I can't think of any that did. Play KotOR at 480p and look at how shimmery and faggy it is, then play it on the 360.

Because I'm sending into my scaler and capturing it with OBS. You can see the MSAA clearer if it's upscaled.

Where did this bullshit idea that the Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2 come from? Retards brainlessly parroting tendie retards on /vr/ saying itโ€™s more powerful because some effects in RE4 look better on GC, the console it was specifically developed for before being ported hastily, than PS2? Really? Silent Hill 2 looks better than it did on Xbox despite being less powerful hardware because it was developed for it FIRST. Being middle of the pack didnโ€™t mean it was the weakest, for fuckโ€™s sake. Man, fuck tendies. Absolute cult of mentally ill brand loyalist literally trying to rewrite history.

Facts. I used to work at Game Crazy and owned all three consoles that gen. I remember standing in the store looking at the individual sections. The PS2 section was like 3 times bigger but it was 80% garbage and it never really had a Smash or Halo level exclusive.

If you have already done the usual (Ratchet, Sly, Jak), then I would say give the console ports of certain light gun games a go. Just got done doing everything in Ninja Assault, very fun.
