>>11986843
Klonoa, Viewtiful Joe, Contra, Mega Man X8 are the closest I can think of and even then it's stretching a bit the concept of a 2D platformer. It was just not a popular genre at the time I guess

how did they do it?
>>
>>11986935
You never owned one. That much is obvious. Maybe you were a Nindendofag mad at no games besides cute platformers? Maybe you were an X-fag mad at the shitty controller and dead HDD and no games besides HALO?
>>
>>11986851
I think the original fat ones look better too. They also have a HDD bay and FireWire.
>>
>>11986935
I genuinely have no idea and it's horrifying. Almost
the entire PS2 library is SEGA tier mediocre somehow, yet coming off the back of the console with the largest variety of good to great games by far. It's absolutely astonishing how massively far ahead the PS1 was and how far the quality of games fell off moving on to 2.

It has so many games that seemed like they would be amazing, but when you actually play them you realize how tedious and jank they are if they aren't based around a shallow gimmick. It's the console that wholesale replaced platformers with third person 3D action shooters pretending to be their successors.

>uncover a hidden gem.
But those barely exist on the PS2 and are almost always as tedious as the well known games on it that are supposed to be "the good ones".

It's completely different with the PSX, where you can throw a dart at a ROM site, land on something you've never heard of, and find that it's enjoyable as fuck, and know there are legit hundreds of games on the system that are about as good.

>>11987087
Shadow of the Colossus could have been a game that doesn't effectively boil down to follow your sword to reach a boss that isn't an interesting challenge to fight because (despite the behavior of the colossi being interesting an the world being vast and intricate) you're just tediously crawling over this huge thing that's to slow to properly attack you and that's most of the game. The way that the PS2 can barely run it even makes the 'artistic beauty' it has something that's tough to take in as care for. It's absolutely mogged by something like Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.

ps1 can not render 3d good so all of the 3d games suck and have clunky controlls. PS2 simply has better games in every category. ps1 is pure nostalgia googles

I don't disagree at all, which is why is so astonishing that the games are so much more entertaining despite the absolutely severe limitations. PS2 games are on a much more capable system that can properly do 3D and at a time when devs has learned from so many earlier experiments, so the way that the games are so much milquetoast shit is that much more embarrassing.

It's like, yes PS1 games often have highly jank controls, especially with the non-analog defaults, but eve nwith those limitations you get absolutely inspired games like Megaman:Legends (which wasn't even well praises at the time) that do bonkers stuff like have a town that naturally reacts to how enemies destroy actual buildings in fights that you can otherwise explore progressively as you get new gadgets, and you cannot find cool PS2 games that pull off experimental crap that well without being ridiculous level of pointlessly tedious.

The single most solid PS2 game I can think of would have to be Timsplitters 2, and that's a multiplat that I don't think even really lives up to its predecessor Goldeneye.

Platformers are the soul of 3D, as they are about letting you actually move around in 3D space meaningfully in order to take advantage of what you can do in it that you couldn't in a 2D game. So many PS2 games instead reverted to having 'realistic' movement that effectively limits you to a 2D plane that is the ground surface, making them play something like 2D games with odd camera angles. These faltering is a huge red flag of 3D games degenerating instead of progressing, the genre dropped off just when it should have been the strongest and learnt from previous examples how to do everything right.

MGS2 and MGS3 are both better than MGS1

DON is an arena fighter not a platform fighter?

>>11986935
There is a ton of shovelware sure but there are also goated classics. MGS2 and anything using the network adapter ( MonHun? Vanadiel? )

>>11987239
I'm still shocked spyro fell off so hard.
>>
>>11987174
But the point is you can play Resident Evil 4, not only that, it has 2 online multiplayer Resident Evil games.

>DON is an arena fighter not a platform fighter?
Have you ever played it? It's a 2D Smash clone
>>
>>11988597
I have not and you are right. I was going off of memory desu. I'm suprised they did not make sequels to this , there are rumors of arc sys doing a DBZ vs OP game now, and we had that weird 3ds duology where the characters for each franchise were on separate cartridges but could play in versus mode. It would be expensive but I like the idea of a JUMP game where u buy one roster at a time
>>
>>11988609
I only remember that game because the SNES was my last Nintendo console and I really wanted something like Smash. I pirated that game but it sucked and my friends preferred to play the Narutimate games anyway.
>>
disliking the most popular console makes me very cool and smart! that popular game that most people like? it's bad, actually!

Taste so terrible it should result in jail time. 10 is the worst mainline entry in the series. At least they pulled it back with 12 being the best.

PS3 is shittier for PS1 games than PS2 slim.
