/vr/ - Retro Games

yes

can you believe this old guy still btfos several current gen games?

>>7867660
Subtle, OP.

Shame no one bit.

Whats with the hebrew on the walls?

>>7869157
someone translated it to "like a camel away from man you keep away" or something

The PS2 was actually pretty capable. Play FF12 with a good S-video cable to see for yourself

>>7867660

>>7870543
PS2 games are the best looking of the generation, people have memory holed this and base their impression of the consoles visuals on multiplats or distinctly demanding games like san andreas which visually are not much more impressive than some dreamcast games. The ones built to take advantage of the PS2 excel.

>>7870543
There's something off about the video output even with s-video or component thanks to 480i, everything looks dark and the colors are kinda washed out compared to other systems

>>7871967
Xbox SH2 is better

>>7872026
Xbox is a piece of shit and would already have been consigned to the graveyard if Microsoft hadn't bribed Rockstar.
Deal with it.

>>7872037
>bribed
lol

>>7872037
It looks and plays better?
SH2 PS2 vs XBOX clearly favors the XBOX.

>>7872037

>>7872026
Better at running in 15fps and missing half the effects lol

>>7867673
The clothes even have a certain thickness and I still wonder where it blends into a single sided mesh. That's peak lowpoly aesthetics.

>>7872037
This but unironically. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Xbox, and fuck American dudebro culture and all it engenders. I want to go back to a world where the market was completely dominated by two or three Japanese giants. A world where gaming was for nerds and thoughtful casuals, but not single-parent household trailer/slum trash that thought teabagging KO'd opponents was the funniest thing ever but GameCube was a purple lunchbox.

I hope you weren't referring to Sega or Nintendo in that count right?
Sega and Nintendo heavily tapped into the dudebro American culture market on the Genesis and SNES.
I think both companies may have veered away from being so heavy in that stuff in 5th gen, can't remember.
But that's an example of both companies doing what Microsoft does.
All you need to look at is how much EA Sports/American sports titles you'll find in their libraries.
Sony's always been mixed with both Japan and western, and did tap into American culture early on despite mainly being Japan first and foremost.
But just eventually came an American company more and more as time went on from end of 6th gen or somewhere in 7th
All the major companies tapped into dudebro American culture basically, none of them are clean of it.

wow the dark graphics make it feel so real, this sure justifies me being a poor/traitor sonyshitter

if normalfags hadn't picked it up gaming would be a thing of the past

i played all that weeb shit as a kid too, but i didn't act so fucking gay about it that I couldn't smash on some Halo with my friends when it came out

grow up

>>7874290
This, gaming was becoming a niche import thing for kids, two crashes nearly killed the industry in the west

The fact that SH 2 and 3 still look pretty good even to this day just goes to show the quality of those games.
Man I love SH.

>>7873684
Only if you were an amerifat

>>7874593
This was for everyone. -_-

>>7874596
modern gaming could use a crash or two 2bh

>>7874621
Youre just a bitter person, the 83 crash resulted in thousands of shit games flooding the market at once at a cheap price, it killed Atari, made Nintendo rebrand and keep tons of Famicom games out of the west, Nintendo then became the strict publishing monster it still is today that created the Playstation, entire stores went bankrupt or stopped selling games, destroying half the arcade halls and hundreds of thousands of arcade machines. And above it all, it made companies like Nintendo a dominating factor while smaller companies simply couldnt compete and died, which took decades to recover in the form of the modern indie gaming scene.

>>7872231
Was Gen 6 really low poly tho?

While we’re here, what’s the best way to play SH2? PC version with the latest fix mod or PS2 version on the latest version of PCSX2?

>>7867660
Wow, it actually looks more like an early 360, or PS3 game. That's pretty good for the PS2.

>>7874791
For zoomers ps3 is low poly

>>7875065
That's not the PS2 version.

>>7875062

I played it on PCSX2 and it was beautiful. However, it's highly recommended you use a controller with pressure sensitive buttons if you can. I used a PS3 controller.

>>7874406
I still think even SH1 looks good. The texture work is just amazing sometimes.

>>7872263
Teabagging IS the funniest thing ever and GameCube IS a purple lunchbox

Why yes, it is.

>>7875958
>pressure sensitive buttons
huh? the game doesn't utilize those. am i missing something?

>>7875062
Depends how much of a purist you are. It should work fine on PCSX2 as long as your PC can handle it, and you can even do basic resolution upscaling if you want without affecting anything else.

PC version with the enhanced mod is probably your best choice if you want to play in widescreen, but it makes changes that not everyone likes such as changing camera angles in certain areas to better suit those widescreen resolutions, and random changes to small details in some parts. Nothing that will make you think the enhanced mod ruins the game but some people don't like modders randomly changing details like that.

>>7877067
i was a teenager when it came out

you faggots are tryhards for real

>>7877151
>changing camera angles in certain areas to better suit those widescreen resolutions
pretty sure that's optional, you can just play it in 4:3 without problems.
when I replayed SH2 a couple years ago, the patch didn't have soft shadows yet, so emulating was the superior choice. now that soft shadows are in, the only thing PC version possibly lacks is controller-related stuff.

>>7874290
>burger culture saved gaming
It fucked it up beyond repair, It destroyed Sony and everything great about them from their first two console generations.
It's planted it's roots into every big gaming company in some way really.
>if normalfags hadn't picked it up gaming would be a thing of the past
If that's how things had to go then i wish gaming died.
I'd rather a market crash now more than anything, so i didn't have to keep revisiting this board and would be satisfied with what i was getting in the industry today.
And so i can see the current console wars actually being about fans of each respective company talking about how they have massive libraries of exclusives titles compared to the current situation of fanboys boasting about how much their console sold.
Absolutely leveling the industry completely and starting over is what is currently needed.
Remove it all from Burgerland and we're back to everything being good again.

>>7877187
>I wish gaming died
then piss off
>i didn't have to keep revisiting this board
the X button is in the top right corner

though i won't lie, console fetishism/sales are a huge scam and it won't ever stop unless normalfags stop paying to beta test graphics

>>7871967
ps2 is like the n64 where the majority of developers couldn't get to grips with the hardware but there were a couple of games that really achieved above its level.

>>7877195
>then piss off
Not sure why i would leave a board that caters to a fragment of the industry that i considered the ideal period of the industry.
>the X button is in the top right corner
No, because all i have to talk about is the past now.
I'm stuck here for eternity because it's never going to happen, the gaming industry is too big to fall.

Mommy bought me a ps2 making me cool for life

>>7877098
It does for the attacks
see: >>7877070

>>7877151
???
it doesn't "change" any camera angles it literally just zooms in because it was never made with 16:9 in mind
MGS HD Collection also does this they zoom in

>>7877243
Go figure, never realized melee animations were tied to how hard the button was pressed. Thought it was based on character movement or RNG.

>>7877256
This doesn't just look like zooming in to me, it's very clearly a different viewing angle.

>>7877461
The text also even says the cameras have been adjusted because of issues with the viewing angles.

>>7874791
To me the era of lowpoly ended when devs came up with more complex shading and normal maps. SH2's polycount is relatively low compared to Doom 3, but its of course much higher than Crash Bandicoot.

>>7867660
no this is

>>7873935
looool it's so sad
