More or Less

And it's funny, the ps2 is now getting old in a way.
they also did that for the ps1 long ago, when ps2 was new
there was like ps1 ported versions of the ps2 games.

then you got those dang compareing PS3 and Xbox 360 got everything and more.
when the old port versions well i can understand it were down graded and removed a few things to make it fit.

Anyone still owns a ps2 only and buying the newest ps2 version ported games base on the new gen ones?

I still have mine because I play alot of my old favorites. I'm an RPG fan and the ps2 provided, so I was pretty keen on the continued use of it. Most now are being ported so when I get myself a PSP Go, I can download them to my system.

((Chess,

Don't be dissin' the old PS2. It has some of the mostest awesomest games ever! EVER!

Though... few games really equal the sheer awesomeness of Valkyrie Profile and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the PS1...

Or... for you older fans, the old TSR, AD&D games like Pools of Radiance.))

yes i have heard of it but neaver played it but i thinck that the game called .hack is a brillant game

Which one? There are seven .//hack games spanning two different storylines.

I've played both dot hack games, the Infection through Quarantine which came first starring the twin blad, Kite. The the GU series which featured the Multiweapon, Haseo, which was alot better due to its innovative character design capable of wielding multiple types of weapons (My favorite being the scythe)

I still own my PS2, becuase my PS3 lacks backwards compatability.

Far as I know only PS2 had games like this which is why its still so good. ^_^

(this stuff usually pisses off other people for some reason, but I quite enjoy it ^_^)

What? That's ridiculous. The PS3 has full backwards compatability for every PS1 and PS2 game. It was one of the major selling points it had over the Xbox 360 when they came out together.

And I agree, Rune, the G.U. series was and is infinitely superior to the first.

Since when? I've been playing PS1&2 games on my PS3 for years, ever since I got it, and I still can, so what in the world are you talking about?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 05 Jan 2009 Posts: 4287

Well the first released PS3's are backward compatible (I didnt think it played PS1 games though)

PS3's now dont have that sadly.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

Oh, that's what you meant. Well, that's just plain idiotic. What in the world possessed those people to take out one of the PS3's most valuable features? Sounds like insanity, a sales death wish or sabotage to me.

*cough*sonys very very greedy*cough*

example: PSP go, makes already psp users have to rebuy their games to play on that since its download only and they made no way to transfer games.

thats why i own a wii the ps3 is good but i follow nintendo rather then sony.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

I have a Wii as well, but Playstation has always been my favorite and will continue to be so into the forseeable future.

Hmmm, since I am getting that PSP GO, I might as well list some games that Sony had that I'll be downloading anyways.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Darkstalkers
Disgaea 1 and 2
Soul Nomad
Final Fantasy 7 (Or all of them)
Wild Arms
Final Fantasy Tactics: The war of the lions
etc, too many to list

DSi:

Dragon Quest all
Valkryie Profile: Covenant of the Plume
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Bangai-O Spirits
Yu-Gi-Oh (Okay, so I play the card game, its fun damn it!)
Castlevania
Advance Wars
Mario Games

((About Koudelka: I loved the intro-chant music to that game, and the ctluthu-mythos feel of it. Wish I hadn't resold it.

Pretty much any of the NIS games I've played have been a hoot. They're all rpg-stratagy simulators, but... NIS just has gotten the "fun" part correct. Atlus also seems to have really hit the whole niche-fun market pretty well too.

About the PS3 backwards compatability: I have a backwards compatable PS3... but... I don't see all the fuss about the newer ones not having it. If you really want to play your PS2 games, couldn't you just rehook up your PS2? And, how much are the PS2 games on the PSN site?

Other awsome games from the PS1 and PS2 years, in no particular order:

Lunar
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
Parasite Eve 1 and 2
Valkyrie Profile
Thousand Arms
Disgaea
Rule of Rose
The Bards Tale
Chu-Chu Rocket
Any of the Katamari series

So... just some quick thoughts.))
