You guys weren't kidding...The PlayStation 2 version of Hot Pursuit 2 absolutely annihilates the Xbox, GameCube and PC ports. It's not even close.
The soundtrack is so fucking good.
It was different gameplay-wise to PC version? HP2 on PC was utter disappointment, i.e. on par with NfS2.
>>12608469PS2 version is supposed to be the main gamePC/Xbox/GC were rushed out just to make it multiplat, and they weren't allowed to use any PS2 assets, just the cars/songs that were licensed and the basic track layouts
>>12608443>The superior hardware has better graphics!!!What a surprise
>>12608501>PS2 superior hardware to Xbox, GameCube and PCSon....
>>12608469>HP2 on PC was utter disappointmentWhy people hate the PC port? I thought it was fine as a kid
>>12608506>PS2 superior hardware to Xbox, GameCube and PCYeshttps://blogstation2.wordpress.com/tag/evolution/>Jason Rubin: Yes, I do think that there are advantages to the hardware setup of the PS2. The multiprocessor setup of the system allows the PS2 to do so many things at the same time (if programmed well) that the hardware is actually far more powerful than its spec. They say the Xbox is going to be either 600mhz or 1000mhz. The PS2 is only 300mhz. But if you can have your background engine running in 10% CPU and 50% VU1 time, then you have far more power.>And yes, of course there will be more powerful systems in the future. That is how technology works. But the Xbox may not be that system>Question: About the math capabilities mentioned earlier, could you talk in more detail about them and what you’ll be doing with them?>Charles: The PS2 math capabilities are like Intel’s SSE… but on steroids. >To put it simply, I don’t think anyone has ever overstated the complexity of programming for the PS2. But, on the other hand, the Xbox libraries won’t allow you anywhere near the actual hardware, so there is little room for optimisation. Plus, the Xbox doesn’t have the high speed vector units of the PS2, which may be why even the best Xbox games run at 30Hz.>seriously doubt we would have been able to make Ratchet and Clank run at 60Hz on the Xbox without drastically reducing the number of moving objects>It’s very difficult to put a number on how far we’ve pushed the PS2 at this point. If I had to estimate, I’d say Ratchet and Clank may use about 50% of the PS2’s maximum potential
>>12608520Posts some blog as source for his claim when everyone can see that ps2 games look worse than its competitors in 98/100 cases.
>>12608515The level of expectations after NfS3/4/PU was too high.
>>12608537Shadow of the Colossus could never work on GameCube or Xbox Their CPU is too weak
>>12608543Gun could hardly run at 30fps on PS2 and ran at 60fps on GameCube. NightFire also allowed 2 extra bots in multiplayer. CPU too weak.
>>1260854310 fps empty open world map? Nigga, The Silent Cartographer from Halo mogs everything SotC ever did. Show me any game from the PS2 library with the level of detail as Chronicles of Riddick.
PS2 NFSHP2 is not a "version", it's THE original game. The rest are shoddy ports handled by monkeys at EA Seattle using their outdated engine from Porsche Unleashed
>>12608554Show me any Xbox game with an open world,complexe physic system,gigantic polygone beast,ultra detailled fur and particles effects...
>>12608560Morrowind was on Xbox you fucking retard and that alone is far more impressive than fucking Shadow of the Colossus lmao
>>12608554>>12608562
>>12608443You're welcome. I've been posting about it for months when it is thread-relevant.Now try it with the "extreme driving" (allows oversteer) and manual transmission! Only way to play it.
>>12608443fuck the tanky ass cops though
>>12608443They really knew what they were doing when taking advantage of the PS2 hardware.
>>12608562It really isn't. Morrowind has no physics besides you being able to jump. Morrowind is just a memory hog because it's a bethesda game. The fur and climbing physics in SotC are insane for that time period and honestly still rock today.
>>12608680SotC is a jewish goodgoy simulator!
>>12608686uhhhhhh
>>12608443I love the scenery so much in this game (on PS2)
>>12608520>jason rubinwhat a surprise- the guy who was cofounder of naughty dog (a sony-owned developer) shilling the ps2. shocking.
>>12608560Conker: Live n' Reloaded
>>12608443can't ever criticize the game for being overall bad without some retard jumping in "HuRr BuT yOu PlAyEd ThE wRoNg PoRt!!1!"the PS2 version still has the same general game design, which is crap. it still has wide as fuck tracks with oversized scenery items like trees: it's like you're racing 1:2 models of cars. it has those stupid cinematic angles with motion blur when you hit big air. helicopter dropping dumb shit. cop chatter that's way worse than the one from NFS3:HP and NFS:HS - especially calling out cars by their full make and model on every message, it's just stupid. list goes on how much worse it is from all the previous games
>>12610041shut up unc
>>12608515>Why people hate the PC port? I thought it was fine as a kidIt's ok, but it's bland
>>12608443and it's still just a 6/10. 5 was the last good NFS and even that was worse in some regards compared to 3 and 4. Talking about the PC versions. NFS5 on PS1 is shit. >>12608462It's a desaster compared to 2-5.
>>12612957>NFS5 on PS1 is shit. The sad thing is most people here only played the turd version on PSX because they don't even know how to download and run PC games without steam lol
>>12613578Ha ha yah I would never know to download the fully patched for modern systems game herehttps://archive.org/details/need-for-speed-v-porsche-unleashed.-7zha ha you really are a wise and smart fella anon so smart more than most here that's for sure ha ha ha
Anything trashing HP2 PS2 is an absolute pleb who should stick to Mario Kart.That game is all about the pristine physics and its deep tire model.The only people qualified to speak on it are those who can clear events without hitting the walls, and never giving up the lead.
