>weaker than the tendie cube>80% of its library was shovelware>mainly used as a glorified DVD player that distracted kids every once in a whileyeah still the "king" you fucking retarded faggot
>>744620458Didn't the travelers tales guy demonstrate it did like 1 million particles at 60fps? Or was it 10mil?
>>744620438Keep the change.
>>744620479>weaker than the tendie cubeWe could spend all day discussing this and not get to a definitive answer so i will just say "depends on the game" and get away with it>80% of its library was shovelware20% of the PS2 library is still a lot more games than the gamecube>mainly used as a glorified DVD player that distracted kids every once in a whileSadly the true is that it was more of a GTA/Fifa machine than anything else.50% dvd/50% figta>>74462053717million but per second, which is around 500.000 per frame:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEQLbbyToxwBut all using transparency and not giving a fuck.

>>744620719>depends on the gameso literally every single game that came out on both gamecube and PS2 and looked better on gamecube? why are you trying to use underhanded language to try to convince people otherwise? you stupid revisionist faggot fag lord
Would gladly take PS2's first year of console exclusives than whatever the PS4/5 have combined.Crazy to think that blockbuster after blockbuster would come out on a regular basis, now we are lucky if we get 1-2 a year.And when I say 'blockbuster' I fucking mean it, these games were fun without any kind of pandering to any group of people.Fucking glad that I stocked up on PS1/2/3 games that will last me a life time, now if I can only find a decently priced Castlevania: Symphony of the Night then I'm set..Also thinking about N64 and Dreamcast but not sure at the moment.
Original Xbox series S.
>>744620254Jak and DaxterShadow of the ColossusGod of WarWhat do I win?
>>744621049The gamecube was easier to develop for and had a better default screen resolution.But if you tried to port something like MGS2 or Silent hill 2 for it, you would have to cripple the hell out of the transparency effects for example.
Pretty much the worst console ever made. Xbox came out a year later and was 3x more powerful.
>>744621676>The gamecube was easier to develop for and had a better default screen resolution.common misconceptionit runs at the same res as PS2

>>744622052The PS2 has a 640x480 resolution?
>>744622637It does, but gamecube and ps2 both use 448 line resolutions. Especially for first party nintendo.
>>744617837I kneel, still unsurpassed and never dethroned
>>744620479The PS2 library is so huge and varied that it still has hundreds of games worth playing even with shovelware. The shovelware argument is fucking retarded anyway cause every platform has it and the worst offender is the Wii, not the PS2
>>744617837>be 2024>oh shit, the switch is about to outsel the ps2>quick, introduce ps2s to the market in somalia
>>744622771the difference between shovelware on ps2 and wii is it's a funny little oddity some british sitcom has a dumb spain exclusive game nobody ever heard of on PS2. On Wii it's a game every wii owner bought and played once and now it pads out every used game section with infinity copies of it and for some reason there's people who grew up with them SWEAR it's actually a really good game.Same goes for DS and GBA. Throw in the Wii and you have the triad of shovelware.
>>744622685Yeah, the vertical resolution is the same indeed, but as far i know PS2 often use 512x448 instead of 640x448, and this make it look grainier, even when the developer implement some form of mip mapping (which for some reason on the PS2 is often forgotten).

>>744622836>noooo not THOSE console sales>THOSE console sales dont count because they just dont, okay?
>>74462047980% of the library is not shovelware lmao. The ps2 had hits for every genre. It had everything for everyone. It continued the experimental game trend that the ps1 had going. The PS2 has a lot of hidden gems. It's the greatest console of all time. Cuckcube only has around 600 games. I saw PS2's in more households than any other console back then.
>>744622771Ironically enough this is admitting the switch 1 has a superior library because it's even larger than the PS2's now, higher quality stuff too, including the ports of any indie game actually worth playing.
>>744617837im partial to the ps1 but both are good
>>744622963Yeah 512x448 is also very common on GC, basically all the biggest games run at that resolution.>mip mapping Hurts the impression of distant detail by softening and blurring it. Really if you want all the bells and whistles you go Xbox which doesn't compromise by running at 512x448 unlike ps2 and gc. There's like 3 480i only games and most titles bottom out at 480p.
I bought a stack of DVDs, and I'm burning Sonic Heroes right now. Any quick game recommendation?
>>744620479Every console worth playing has a shit load of shovelware. Shovelware is not a sign of a library is bad, just that it has a massive userbase. Just look at the NES and Atari 2600. Hell every Nintendo console that wasn't the fucking Virtual Boy because no one bought that piece of garbage.
>>744623138Mip mapping/trilinear/anisotropic filtering is basically a requeriment for 3D graphics, otherwise you get horrbile noise.Top end PS2 games do it, but many don't because it's not just as switch
>>744623267>Mip mapping/trilinear/anisotropic filtering is basically a requeriment for 3D graphicsAnon that's fucking stupid
>>744623234Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari
>>744623092I find people use the term shovelware to describe genuine 7/10 games and not for ultra low effort garbage. If you use it for the former then yeah you can get close to 80% of the PS2 library.
>>744623401when nintendo fans are talking about shovelware they're talking about every game not made on nintendo, when anyone else does they're talking about 100 mystery puzzles for windows 98 and zombo fitness.
Before Myrient went down I finally made an archive of everything I was even slightly interested in from the 3rd gen to the 7th. I ended up with 54 Gamecube games and 155 PS2 games.
>>744623469>100 mystery puzzles for windows 98You better not be shitting on the Windows Entertainment Packs.
>>744623303Not really, you probably only played a game without it once or twice because it looks absurdly awful.When you have too many texture pixels shoved into the same screen pixel, the CPU will just pick at random and do literal noise.You have to keep the ratio of screen pixels vs texture pixels as close as possible to have a good output picture.mip map is brutal because it does a hard switch at distance, but better solutions do a better job at it, with trilinear at least smoothly blending the steps, and anisotropic filtering getting pretty darn close of keeping the 1:1 ratio without over blurring an specific axis.TAA also fixes this, but you get a shitload of ghosting.

>>744623540Take it as a lessonLoose lips sink ships
>>744624198That isn’t why Myrient went down btw
>>744623096Nah, shitch games are just pure dogshit, bad remasters and ports galore like everything past 6th gen. Ironically, the PS2 still has the most higheste-rated game of any console on metacritic even with that criteriaNumber of Games with 93 or more:PS2 - 25XBOX 360 - 22PS3 - 18Switch - 13PS5 - 11PS4 - 9Number of Games with 90 or more:PS2 - 58XBOX 360 - 54PS3 - 49Switch - 40PS5 - 35PS4 - 33Number of Games with 87 or more:XBOX 360 - 118Switch - 109PS3 - 109PS2 - 101PS4 - 101PS5 - 90

PS2 not only has the perfect library of games it can also do graphical effects that modern consoles can’t do.

I was mostly a Nintendo kid growing up, but I finally got around to installing PSBBN and got my PS2 hooked up to a CRT and optical to my receiver for surround sound. What are some more overlooked games on the console? I've played MGS2 and 3. Plan on going through at least the original Jak & Daxter, the Ratchet & Clank games, etc. I've got a modded Wii so I probably won't be playing anything that's also on the Gamecube unless for some reason that specific game is better on PS2

>>744632253For the past week I have been playing Soulcalibur II and I'm unlocking everything. After that, I am going to move onto Soulcalibur III and not play Chronicles of the Sword, since it can currupt your memory card. Somehow I never ran into this back in the day (and I bought the game at launch). I assume it's because I never really played this mode.
>>744617837And that's a bad thing. Gaming is fucking dead.
>>744637050fuck this looks fun
>>744636903I hope this helps Anon.
>>744637292>Lightgun games on a console>Western shovelware >NuCrash, Sonic, NuMegamanActual garbage list.
>>744637406Buddy, Time Crisis II and III (I haven't played Crisis Zone and don't own it on the PS2, so I can't speak on that) are the best versions of the game.
>>744637531To be clear, you're not counting the arcade versions, right?
>>744637576I am. The PS2 version / port graphically looks better than the arcade cabinet. This same thing happened with Soulcalibur (Dreamcast version)
>>744633680he's not wrong, ps2 launched at the end of october in USnobody considers the "first year" to just be nov and dec
