Why was the PS2 like this?

Why are you like this at age 47?

>>11972881
OP is an assmad faggot console warrior confirmed

>>11972863 (OP)
Because it was rushed to market to 1 up Sega and as a result, the hardware is shit.

>>11972863 (OP)
n64 of 6th gen

>>11972863 (OP)
PS2 has a comically small texture buffer compared to all competitors, Dreamcast included. Straight ports would often not get enough time/funding to properly reprogram (an actually doable task) a game around PS2's limitations, resulting in poor showing on the console.

>>11972863 (OP)
It is the sixth gen console with the weakest hardware by far. The PS2 only sold because of the DVD player and backwards compatibility.

no regular person cared about 480p vs 480i in the 00s, especially on crts

>>11972917
n64 had next to zero load times at least

>>11972863 (OP)
Real answer is the guy taking the screenshot didn't turn on anti-blur on the emulator.

It's crazy how a years older console like the Dreamcast consistently mogs it graphics wise.

To win and make you seethe for eternity.

>>11972917
The ps2 had to do 480 to play dvds stupid.

>>11972863 (OP)
Less than a percent of customers used component cables on EDTV's.
All GameCube and Dreamcast games also have flicker filters when outputting interlaced video.
FUCK OFF MORON!

>>11972863 (OP)
It was the stepping stone up from the Dreamcast, and not quite as "future-proofed" as the Xbox, with the Gamecube being a weird outlier of better power but its own Nintendo brained design decisions. It's easy to figure that Sony simply had been so focused on making the new step of gaming that there wasn't a lot of foresight but the HDD slot.

>>11972863 (OP)
why was the gamecube like this?

>>11973597
I mean look at it, so zesty

>>11972863 (OP)
Because it looked the same at 480i which everyoe used

>>11973597
im convinced cubies only shill the shitcube as some weird rabbit hole for you to take hrt and join their discord cult

>>11973597
Smashtrannies of today aren't representative of what it was like to own one. Normal people played smash bros back then without using autistic cheats like wavedashing or taking HRT.

Like wine? yes
A perfect analogy for the PS2 hardware

>>11973661
shitcube's entire library combined can't even match 10 pixels of SOVL emanating from this image

You mean the greatest console of all time? It was powered by the Emotion Engine, what else did you expect?

>god of war 2 colossus fight
seeing this in plain 2007, with xbox 360 and ps3 already in the market, was mind blowing.
No next gen console needed

>>11972863 (OP)
idc it was good enough for me to play the shit out of the game on my PS2 back in the early 00s

>>11972863 (OP)
clearly just because of the lazy and/or dumb developers, but has to blame the console
fanboys are disguting

I think those screenshots are from PCSX2. Some PS2 games look really great however.

>>11972863 (OP)
To mindbreak segoys and cubies

>>11973661
>emulator screenshots
On actual hardware all of those games are as blurry as crazy taxi.

>>11974261
No they aren't. They look identical on a CRT. 480p is irrelevant. PS2 games at 480i only have blur when you deinterlace.

I'm glad I've never engaged with any of this console war garbage.

>>11974365
You have never played ff12.

>>11974365
>PS2 games at 480i only have blur when you deinterlace.
Dude the flicker filter is there to make interlacing less obvious

>>11973512

Xbox

>>11974424
Yes I have. I replayed it recently on a PS2 and CRT just a couple years ago. It's not blurry and you are full of shit.

>>11974445
This has nothing to do with what I said and you are probably illiterate and stupid.

>>11974261
Zoomers really don't understand the wizardry of CRT tvs.

>>11973597
Holy shit there's even a chudtranny or is he working undercover

low res textures and bi-linear filtering(xbox and gamecube supported tri), all things being equal the games would come out blurrier. lack of progressive scan is a red herring, niche feature only a small segment of the 6th gen audience could take advantage of and only noticeable now with emulation.

>>11972863 (OP)
>no aliasing
PS2 is superior in this example.

>>11974420
>pointing out the obvious flaws of a console is “console war garbage”

>>11974458
The flicker filter blurs the whole screen whether you digitally deinterlace it or not.

>>11974460
Crts make things less sharp compared to every other display tech. No I'm not talking about motion blur.

>Increase internal resolution to 2x in the emulator settings
>480i turns into 960i which in turn it's 480p
problem solved

>hey galpals isn't whats going on in gaza CRAZY!?

>>11972863 (OP)
Emulator screengrabs. Both the dreamcast and the DC have a strongk analog blur on their output. The PS2 famously didn't and because of whining from idiots devs would be made to ruin their games with shitty software blurs. Do a proper capture from real hardware of all three and you'll see there's not that big a difference. Every console gen has some bullshit you just have to live with.

>>11972863 (OP)
Sony was never known for good hardware, its success was all just marketing and games themselves.

>>11972863 (OP)
Sega was notoriously bad at making ps2 ports

>>11978159
The hardware was good enough where it mattered

>>11978163
If "good enough" is "it produces some image", then sure it was.

>>11978159
PS1 had excellent hardware for its time, it was one of the draws. PS2 was the Saturn of its generation, because Sony knew they can get away with it.

>>11978182
if the ps2 is so shit, why can't dreamcast run san andreas or gran turismo or mgs3

>>11978202
Despite what /vr/ wants you to believe, Dreamcast is weaker. It doesn't make PS2 any less of messy hardware.

>>11972863 (OP)
Accurate

bilinear filtering and sub 480p resolution
According to burnout 3 developer who famously said the gamecube couldn't handle it the Graphics synthesizer had a bug which prevented it at rendering at 640x480

>>11972863 (OP)
Sorry, Idorts only here
Take your console warring somewhere else

>>11978545
Dreamcast? More like PS1
