If you love the PS2, you owe yourself to having an Xbox as well.It really is like having a roided PS2, better visuals, performance, audio and controls.
https://blogstation2.wordpress.com/tag/evolution/ PS2 is actually more powerfull than Xbox
>>12589506Everyone already knows that, OP.
>>12589506Or just play the pc versions of everything on it and emulate the exclusives on xemu
>>12589550PC ports of the time were usually worse.
>>12589506Yeah this is the most logical step going from PS2. Genuinely different experience with the same games.
>>12589506not too far off, I bought an Xbox a few years ago and mainly replayed shit I played on PS2 20 years ago while my PS2 is used for Jap shit and exclusives. games like Metal Arms are unironically a night and day difference in terms of visuals and performance between the 2 consoles.
>>12589535>Just ignore every instance of the Xbox running games better than the PS2 and you'll understand which console was actually more powerful!>Links a phisher
>>12589535Nigga even the Gamecube mogged the PS2.
>>12589506>If you love the PS2, you owe yourself to having an Xbox as well.This is one the most retarded threads ever.If I want a "better" experience, I have only two reasonable options:>PC versions>PCSX2Just by imagining setting up an Xbox, a console that I have zero nostalgia and respect, already make me uncomfortable, like I'm trying to reinvent the wheel or something.There are no reason to touch an Xbox other than nostalgia. Even if I want to, I already have an Xbox 360 with dozens of fully playable Xbox games ready to play, but never had any desire.I understand your nostalgia and personal attachment to the Xbox, but, please, don't be delusional.
>>12589506It's like a ps2, but with no games.
nothing but goynigger-tier ball and gun slop on xcocks and psjew. gamecube and older gens for everyone who likes real games
Kino
for me it's ps2 for games and xbox for xbmc
you had everything as a ps2 owner
>>12589550>emulate the exclusives on xemuCrimson Skies is completely borked.Blood Wake runs like 5x faster than it should.Mech Assault 2 slows to a crawl every time something explodes (constantly), on top of having notable lighting and audio issues.Even games that supposedly run fine will often just randomly break in some way and require a restart.Shit's just not there yet.
Dreamcast is still my favorite from this gen
>>12589506PS2 games just felt like Playstation games with slightly better graphics. The Xbox seemed genuinely next gen. Halo blew our minds.
>>12590058>Dreamcast games just felt like Playstation games with slightly better graphicsFTFY
>>12590559Dreamcast felt more like an upgraded N64 to me than a Playstation.
The PS2 rarely has the best version of a game but often has the only version of a game
>>12590572the most technically impressive games are typically also ps2-exclusive, as the uniqueness of the hardware means you need to focus on the ps2 to get the most out of it. multiplats are generally best on xbox, though in some cases where a game is ps2 first it may still be better on ps2 (like the gta games)
I prefer Xbox because I like the controller a lot more, simple as
But the PS2 had the most exclusives and the best overall library.
>>12590761also the best controller
>>12590606the gta games look objectively better on xbox
>>12590808the xbox version completely lacked the lighting of the ps2 version. completely sterile by comparison. same with the pc and most other ports unless you use mods to restore the ps2 lighting
>>12590813that's fine. the ps2 piss filter was too much in the wrong direction. i get the vibe they were going for but it was overdone
>>12590813It does but it has better performance and sharper visuals. It's not as awful as the PC port and has some unique assets.
>>12590828just remember it was made for ps2 first and the left picture is what it's supposed to look like.i initially and mostly played it on ps2, but did also play a bunch of the pc version later, which is, out of the box, like the xbox version. it's not bad, but it doesn't have the same feel as the ps2 original, not without mods at least.
>>12590839NTA but the PS2 version looks too fucking dark, i remember playing the PS2 version on my CRT a few years ago and i fucking hated it. Constantly had to boost the brightness up to tube-raping maximum to be able to see anything. I prefer the Xbox and PC lighting now.
>>12589506>It really is like having a roided PS2, better visuals, performance, audio and controls.But it doesn't have better gameplay/games?
>>12590058>PS2 games just felt like Playstation games with slightly better graphics.
>>12590813Metal Gear Solid 2 is apparently superior on PS2 as well, even though the Xbox version came out an entire year later.
Og xbox is great for collecting too. Game thats 80$+ on ps2 will be like 20 on xbox
