PS2

[AvidOC]

I Just bought a PS2 last week and now the xbox is going down £100 i'm considering taking the PS2 back and getting an xbox but there arent any good games for xbox really, so i need someone to convince me....

So what are the good games for Xbox

 

[Koing]

well personally I wouldn't mate.

The xbox has good games from what I've seen. Halo looks SWEET. And the other games don't look 'all' that to me. But there are 'probably' some 'great' games that I've not seen or read about. I'm not up to much news on the xbox scene.

I love GT3, TTT for my ps2. MGS2 is good. FFX I will buy when its out in the UK. Also I'm going to get VF4 and T4 when they are out. CvS2 is GREAT. I love my fighting games. The xbox controller doesn't look so great for fighting games. I'm so use to the ps2 pads now. I like the feel and where the buttons are placed for me.

Project Gotham Racing is great for Xbox. I'm not even a racing fan and I'm addicted to it.

 

[AvidOC]

Yea Koing, but i think the graphics on Xbox are amazing! and there are only 1 or two good games on it though.

i think i'll stick with PS2

MGS2 is amazing! i wanna get it soo bad but its £45! And what is TTT?

 

[spaceman]

halo and jet set future are both really good games.

 

[Koing]

<< halo and jet set future are both really good games. >>



yeah. I'd LOVE to get Jet Set future for my ps2!!! That looks like a really good game.

AvidOC NO DOUBT the xbox graphics look VERY GOOD. The only thing about the ps2 stuff is the lack of any decent AA! That does annoy me. But I can over look that.

For me I'll get which ever console has games that I like to play. Maybe get an xbox in a few years when it drops in price

 

[AvidOC]

Koing whats AA?

And what game is TTT?

 

[Koing]

AA is Anti Aliasing. You get quite a bit of 'jaggies' in the background and such with ps2 games. Even in MGS2.

TTT is Tekken Tag Tournament. I am a HARDCORE player to say the least. No 10 strings for me. I know frame data in the game from reading stuff and know juggles that eat a lot of energy that are 'unstopable' once started etc etc. I just use to play it alot. So I'll get any system that Tekken is currently on I suppose.

where are you in the UK? I'm in Surrey.......

 

[AvidOC]

Aaah, i've never noticed jagged egdes....yet

Aah tekken tag, i wanna get that, i just with the PS2 games would go down to 30 like PS1 games being 14 and skint

I'm in Brighton Koing

 

[Koing]

I see mate

well TTT is £20 now. its on platium range......

 

[AvidOC]

Yea i know but i dont even have that, i'm in 5 weeks of debt at the moment so.... I'm gonna have to wait or something

 

[AvidOC]

Anyone Else?

Xbox has a lot of upside to it. Great sound and graphics. It has more of a "future" to it than does a PS2 as the PS2 is nearer to the end of its product life.

PS2, OTOH, has a better game lineup. That is what you buy a system for.

Either way you'll be happy. Just a little sooner with the PS2, and you may not be as happy with the PS2 in the long run.

DOA3
(Dead or Alive 3)

for Xbox is an incredible game... could be the reason i purchase an Xbox her ein the future... played many an hour at a friends place with that so schweeet game

If you can afford it, get both!

PS2 has the best games right now. But like others have said, its future is more dim than X-Box's.

X-Box has some good titles out right now as well, and a pretty bright future. With games like Unreal Championship, Crazi Taxi 3, House of the Dead 3, Sega GT 2002, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and more to be announced at E3 as some of its exclusives, I think the next year will be a very good year for X-Box. Not to mention it seems to be getting alot if the big titles that are coming to other systems (or are already on them). (For example: GTA3, Some sortof Metal Gear Solid game, Turok Evolution, EA Sports titles).

As long as good games keep coming out for X-Box, it will hold the edge to PS2 because of its advantages in hardware. Graphics capabilities aside, X-Box has HDTV support, Dolby Digital 5.1 support in hardware (PS2 can do DTS Surround in software), plus more hardware for your dollar (Ethernet/hard drive).

So it really depends on what you want to do. If you intend to keep the console for the next 5 years and not buy another console, get X-Box now. If you think maybe you want to play some games for the next year and pickup another console in a year or so, keep the PS2 and get the X-Box at the next price drop.
