How many PS2 multiplats are still good compared to their GCN/Xbox counterparts?

Ridge Racer V

Saw someone else say it too, Zone of the Enders 1 and 2 were both awesome. I beat 2 several times but never beat 1.

- Mark of Kri, pretty sweet melee combat game for the time with dismemberment which was fun.
- GTA Vice City of course, game has such a cool vibe to it.

Common opinions already stated in this thread, but dammit the games are good!
Gta SA and both Stories games
DMC 3 (Even though younger me never got past the level after cerberus due to being terrified by the game. I beat it a couple of years ago on an emulator)
DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Delta Force (I think that was the name?): Black Hawk Down
Also, a game that I have not seen mentioned ever in any thread of any kind: Heatseeker. I never played Ace Combat and haven't done so yet, so I do not know if it was a bad or good flying game comparatively and I remember some missions being quite hard but it just oozed style, from the cinematic kills to the intermission cutscenes in the style of a military briefing. It was just a cool game.

>>9968397
>a game that I have not seen mentioned ever in any thread of any kind: Heatseeker.
i had Heatseeker for the ps2. i liked the game even though it was a poor mans ace combat but more arcadey. anon if u truly want a kino ace combat-kind of game then play Heroes of the Pacific. you wont regret it. KINo of the highest order.

There are so many games I like on the console, in so many genres, that it's hard to come up with a condensed list.

DMC
Shinobi and Nightshade
God Hand
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates
Onimusha series
Armored Core series
Ace Combat series
Fatal Frame series
Shadow Hearts 1 and 2
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
FFX
Persona 3
Growlanser 2
King's Field 4
Katamari Damacy
Odin Sphere
Grim Grimoire
Suikoden 3 and 5
Metal Saga
Urban Reign
Warship Gunner 2
Xenosaga 1 and 3
Twisted Metal Black
Mercenaries
Killer7

>>9967542
That depends on what you mean by good. It's quite rare for the PS2 version of a multiplat to be the preferred/best one, but the differences between versions usually aren't all that significant.

>>9968456
>That depends on what you mean by good.
It doesn't suck compared to it's counterparts.

ssx3 is probably the most fun i had on the ps2 as a kid

Devil May Cry 3
Metal Gear Solid 3
Onimusha Warlords
Resident Evil 4 (the PS2 version had extra bonus content)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

>>9966249

This board seems to hate it, but I'm still a massive Shadow of the Colossus fan. It's not perfect, but I was engrossed at the time, really enjoyed the gameplay and the 'show me don't tell me' storytelling, and fantastic music. There wasn't really anything like it at the time, and it was a step towards games as a more widely respected art form.

Black was pretty cool too - one of the strongest FPSs on the platform; some of the meatiest feeling guns I've ever shot in a FPS and very much a stripping out of unnecessary elements to give a very pure shooting experience.

The whole Gran Turismo series was a high watermark for racing games.

I'll get some more hate for this statement, but I honestly think the Ratchet and Clank series are some of the best 3D platformers ever made. The design, writing, the movement and the kinetic feeling of how everything works, and the range of weapons make it quite an addictive set of games. I sunk 12 hours into the first Ratchet and Clank when I was procrastinating writing an essay for uni.

Not solely a PS2 game - but the Psychonauts port was pretty decent.

>>9968534
People actively hate the ratchet games? I could see being indifferent to them I certainly am, but not hating them

>>9968534
secret agent clank is my favorite ps2 game because im a nostalgia fag and had it on my little psp

>>9968639
Not that anon but I couldn't get into it. Everything it does, Jak and Sly do better, depending on what you want.

soul calibur 3 chronicles of the sword

>>9968639

I don't think people hate Ratchet and Clank - they probably would hate me rating it about Mario 64, or Crash Bandicoot.

They're great games - just had more fun with Ratchet and Clank.

>>9968683
SC3 is the GOAT fighting game for singleplayer content. Chronicles of the sword, the story mode with branching paths, loads of challenges with special rules, the metric fuckton of unlockables (that you purchase in game, not as nickel & diming DLC), custom character creation. The fact that a game from 18 years ago has absolutely mogged anything that's been released since in terms of singleplayer content is just sad.

>>9968676
The weapons and their upgrades are the best in R&C. That's the strongest part of the series, not the platforming.
Jak, at least the first one, would be better as a platforming game. Don't care for Sly so not sure about it, from what I played it relied on mini games a lot, wasn't a fan.

>>9968860
the first sly is basically crash 4

>>9966249
From my childhood:
Dynasty Warriors 3/4
Simpsons Hit and Run
Scooby Doo Night of 100 Frights
Wallace and Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Time Crisis 2/3
Ninja Assault

Recently I’ve played Klonoa 2. On my backlog I have Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and FF10.

>>9966249
Call of Duty 2 Big Red One, for both personal and critical reasons, to me it's the GOAT of WW2 games.

>>9969027
Nah, CoD 1 and United Offensive is the peak, everything went downhill from there. The PS2 games were just a pale imitation of the real thing.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
Tony Hawk's Underground
Devil May Cry 3
GTA Vice City
Manhunt
Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence
Guitar Hero II (+The 80s expansion)

>>9969057
not at all, BRO was the first to properly introduce this concept of game-long characters into COD and it was and is still one of the few games to explore the war beyond campaigns in France and Germany.

>>9969260
Xbox has the definitive version of Battlefront II because PS2 Online fucking blew

>>9969265
True. The PS2 version is just what I played as a kid, splitscreen mostly.

>>9968676
>Everything it does, Jak and Sly do better
Eh. Jak 2 and 3 had atrocious shooting mechanics. In Ratchet 2 they had the good sense add strafing and an aiming reticle. Those additions alone blow the shit out of Jak's clumsy combat.
The Sly sequels suffered from too many minigames and shitty secondary characters that you had to play as. Especially Sly 3.

>>9969282

>>9968639
Most people rate the Ratchet series over Jak and Sly and rightly so

>>9968534
>>9968639

Ratchet is considerably better than both Sly and Jak. Jak is a fucking mess of a franchise and Sly shit the bed after the first one. It was much better as a more straightforward platformer than the overdesigned slop 2 and 3 went for.

>>9969472
Sly 2 is great.

>>9966249
ico

>>9969720
It's okay. Murray and Bentley are nowhere near as fun to play as Sly, and I don't feel that the open levels added a great deal of value. Much preferred the immediacy and tighter level design of Sly 1.

Easily one of the best games on the PS2 and criminally unknown.

>>9967145
>Tekken 4
Just for that alone you are based. Never let anybody say otherwise.

Siren 2. I love the original one too, but 2 is more enjoyable overall.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift 2. My favorite racing game ever. Just the right amount of arcadeness, cars are fun to drive and all feel different, npc are fleshed out. The only bad thing about this game is music.
Ace Combat 5. Not as good as Electrosphere, but still rocks.

>>9966249
There are so many that I do like that has already been mentioned. So I will go for a mid-tier one that I really like called Skygunner. It has a magical atmosphere that is reminiscent of my most favorite childhood animations. The gameplay while simple has some depth with its combo system. It is a shame that it stayed exclusive to the PS2 platform, but maybe it could get a modern remake, since I believe there was a pretty similar fan game made for Windows.

>>9970538
Is there any reason to play the ps2 version over the ps360 version?

>>9971156
>Tokyo Xtreme Racer: Drift 2
Kaido Racer (Kaido Battle 2) is better IMO. It's very similar but just seems to be more soulful. Also it solves the problem of the music being bad, since you actually win music samples by beating rivals, which you can then use to create your own tracks in a rudimentary DAW inside of the game.

>>9968534
The Ratchet & Clank games are probably the games I’ve finished the most times in my life. I remember many a sleepover at my friend’s house where either of us would beat one of the games in that night. That series was on heavy rotation from grade to middle school for me.
It is funny how my opinions change over time, though. I replayed them recently for the first time in a decade or more, and the first is my favorite now. The things I loved about 2 and 3, like leveling weapons, weren’t unappreciated but didn’t make the game for me like they used.

>>9973381
>if a ps2 game also released on the gamecube, likewise the gamecube blows the ps2 version out of the water
This is just a talking point parroted by nintendies trying to cope with the GameCube coming in last place. This could only occasionally be considered true if the only factors you're looking at are load times and framerate. The GameCube versions of multiplats almost always have shit audio, shit textures, and shit quality FMVs in comparison to the PS2 and Xbox versions, on account of the gimped mini discs. Effects present on PS2 versions are also often missing or badly substituted on GameCube versions. Controls are also sometimes gimped (e.g. SSX) due to the GameCube controller having fewer buttons than Xbox and PS2. It's telling that your 2 examples of PS2 multiplats being worse are from 2 games that were originally only meant for the GameCube (before Capcom realised that releasing games exclusively for the shitcube isn't financially viable, because barely anyone owned one).

>>9973204
no, they are like 5 Euros each one in your local cashconoverters and rebuty stores.

YES! everyone says SCII but chronicles of the sword was the shit, not to mention the theme kicked ass

this shit was the GOAT 3D beat ‘em up, PS1 3D brawlers like fighting force and crisis beat just missed the mark, they couldn’t do it justice yet. Rockstar alone with Warriors, Bully, and state of emergency brought that arcadey fun to the 3D realm. Others like God hand and urban reign seem cool too. beat down: fists of vengeance beat Yakuza to the open world 3D beat ‘em up gimmick by a few months

>>9967542
A lot of PS2 multiplats are dogshit, but some of them have their own charm that I don't mind them being technically inferior. The Tom Clancy games come to mind.

There are some that are actually unplayable and should be avoided though. See Full Spectrum Warrior and Band of Brothers 1/2 to see the worst ports around.

Just get this and a hard drive. Downloading the ISO’s and installing opl is less of a hassle than buying discs and individually burning dvds if you even have a dvd burner. Then you can just load the whole fucking ps2 library and never have to deal with a shit ton of burned dvds taking up space.

he doesn't want to spend any money. he'd rather just keep playing one game over and over. getting a hold of agent under fire, a memory card, and an old xp computer with a dvd burner is just too much to ask

What’s the most experimental or sovlful ps2 games you don’t usually see on lists. Open to import friendly JP and fan translated games as well, I don’t speak moon though.

Most of my favorites were already posted but I really love 6th gen Yugioh games: Capsule Monsters, DOTR, even Tag Force (but I don't think that counts here) were all good. I used to wish Konami would keep making more of them but that series is dead to me. They got like 500 different OP summons now.

>>9977520
put it on a flashdrive and transfer it over using the stuff freemcboot comes with. I've heard people say fmcb comes with it now but mine didn't, but the cool thing is once you have fmcb you can keep making more fmcb

>>9978937
i dont have free mcboot, is there a way around that?

>>9978952
no. the alternate way is free hdd boot where you just put everything on the hdd from the beginning
you're going to have to buy stuff online, thirdie

I want to try out Tales of the Abyss, Kuon, Rule of Rose, Jak and Daxter, and Ape Escape 3.

PS2 was not my first system, but I definitely have the most nostalgia for it, due to hanging out with friends and playing games all summer in the early 2000s. Very good memories. And while the games don't hold up quite as well as SNES/Genesis era, there's a bunch of timeless classics. My favorites include:

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven
Summoner
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Final Fantasy X
La Pucelle: Tactics
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Dynasty Warriors 3
Timesplitters 2 (mainly multiplayer though)


Not in any order, but if pressed, Tench: Wrath of Heaven is probably my pick for my favorite game on the platform.

>PS2 was not my first system, but I definitely have the most nostalgia for it, due to hanging out with friends and playing games all summer in the early 2000s
My exact feelings. I think it's my favorite gen and platform, though. I love that era of 3D - it wasn't as shaky and flawed as 5th gen, but there was still plenty of experimentation.

>>9985431
>Monster Rancher 3
Based. It's way too easy, but it's still incredibly charming and the biome evolutions were a cool change.
>Onimusha 2
I love 1 and 3, but I've never really played 2. I just remember being a big baby about not playing Samanosuke. I've got copies of all three now, so I should do a series playthrough.
>TimeSplitters: Future Perfect
Love and have put so many hours into 2, but I've never, ever played FP. I should probably change that.

>>9988173
If it wasn't on my favorites list, I wouldn't have posted it.

>>9988550
I'm not saying it's not your favorite, I'm saying most people would pick something else

>>9988075
I just tried it out of curiosity, did the tutorial level and everything ran perfectly on internal HDD. A few couple of things that might help you out.

Use the latest official beta from github (the pre-release one, not the one from 2021): https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/releases

While the compatibility lists are ok for reference, keep in mind that those are 5 years old already, many games don't even need special configs these days if you use the latest build. Lastly, the only thing I'd suggest to change in OPL is disabling PADEMU completely. It's brings more trouble than it's worth.

If you're on the latest build and still have problems, it's more likely a bad iso.

>>9988170
Not anons fault you like eating shit.

>>9988879
I'll try this since I have no idea what version I'm using. In the about section it says
>OPL 1392-DB-TA-20681ff
which looks like a completely different versioning system from that github.
Dumb question, but to update it I just replace the .ELF file, right?

>>9989104
Yep, that's an ancient build (2019 looks like). The github is the official OPL, the one from "ps2-home" is a fork of the official, with it's own modifications. I just use the official these days, seems to be less bloated. The ELF files are executables, you just replace the old one and done (the configs and covers all remain).

>>9986410
Battles are a little slow is my only complaint.

>>9966249
>There’s so many PS2 games, but what are some of YOUR favorite titles for the system?

Gladiator: Road to Freedom Remix (Ertain's Best)

I love this game. I bought a PS2 for this game when emulating was no longer enough. I bought the game from Japan on disc as well.

I just like being a gladiator.

>>9968250
BASED

>>9966249
I don't like the game that much in general but PS2 San Andreas just has that special something

>>9988170
I've never played The Bouncer. I got my PS2 a couple of years after launch when it was widespread that the game was only a couple or few hours long. It was hard to justify getting it when you're a kid and game purchases are limited. My friend had a copy, but it didn't work in some way or another. I was destined to never play it.
But for you, pal, I'll move it up my shortlist of things to play through OPL.

>>9988170
The thing is that it came out in a time where Square could do no wrong. Every game they released previously was hype as fuck full content. So when The Bouncer came out, everyone was very disappointed in how short and simple it was, with character clones from FF8 and animations recycled from Ehrgeiz. It was the first time everyone felt like Square was not as "godlike" as they seemed to be. You can play it now and enjoy it for what it is, sure, but you can't really blame anyone for still having a grudge over it.

>>9988879
Wait, has the FMV issue from 1.1 been fixed since in nightlies? I've been using 1.0 like a coward because of that. It's worked fine, but I just started using it so my sample source is tiny.

>>9990154
Never played it before so I don't know what the issue originally was but it's running perfectly on the latest build. On internal HDD, I've never seen FMV skipping in any game, that's mainly a USB problem.

>>9990461
I could swear I read it was for internals. I should just stop trusting the documentation on PS2 stuff and try it all on my own. I’m used to coming along when a system’s CFW is totally solved, but PS2 doesn’t seem to be where I can always take other people’s word for it.

>>9972673
Man that artwork is lame compared to the PAL version.

>>9973623
>I replayed them recently for the first time in a decade or more
same but i never really played the sequels properly, ratchet 1 was the first game i had for ps2 but i only played the sequels at my friends.

The first game is the best because it has the best music, dialogue and story are all great, sure they add a lot more weapons in the sequel but its kinda like vice city to san andreas comparison, if VC is a 10/10 SA is a 9, its still great but you can tell the quality ever so slightly dropped in favour of ALOT more game. I feel like if i owned 2 as a kid it would have been my favourite, its a true sequel but the first game has more soul

shit nigga remember when we actually had proper sequels

Gran turismo 3/4
Vice City
San Andreas
The Mark of Kri
Merenaries
NFS Underground 2
Ratchet 1
Tony Hawks Underground

>>9972673

>>9991185
That change in ranking happens a lot for me when I replay a series, now. I think I value and appreciate the simplicity in earlier entries more than I used to.
2 and 3 are still great, and for slightly different reasons for each, but yeah, the first completely edges them out for me now for the reasons you state.
>shit nigga remember when we actually had proper sequels
And in short order, too. For any shortcomings, we got three incredibly solid games in the span of three years. I miss those days.

>>9967510
it was better on Xbox

>>9991185

The first R&C is the game I sunk hours and hours into - I do think 2 and 3 are still good, but the first one will always have a place in my heart.

There could be an argument to say the first was a bit simpler in it's platforming focus, and so they got that bit really good, whereas 2 and 3 got a bit more sidetracked on mini games, but I did actually quite enjoy a lot of the mini games!

Also, and this is a factor I've realised in a lot of games for me - the way they animated Ratchet and the movement arcs of even things like the boomerang wrench attack made a lot of the melee attacks and jumping feel really lively, kinetic and satisfying when you chain up any sort of movement combo.

With good 3D action platformers, that sort of detail just tips things over from being pretty fun to really fun. Tomb Raider, Mario 64, hell even outliers like Jedi Outcast all have elements that get that right.

>>9991252
>>9991392
>he way they animated Ratchet and the movement arcs of even things like the boomerang wrench attack made a lot of the melee attacks and jumping feel really lively, kinetic and satisfying when you chain up any sort of movement combo.
I agree 100% everything in the original had a lot more effort and polish put into it from the animations, the dialogue, the worlds you visit, what really solidifies it for me though, and i usually dont rate story in videos as a priority but its just the best, the way ratchet starts out as a kind of anti-hero who is not really out to save the galaxy, he doesnt really like clank, but he sort of wins him over as the game goes on. In the 2nd game i've already forgot the story and i just played it at christmas, i just remember none of what you're doing makes any sense
also they really REALLY fucking butchered the remake holy shit i couldnt even finish it

Yeah, that's the issue. Documentation on everything is very outdated and the most popular youtube videos are also outdated, so I don't really blame people for thinking OPL is shit or whatever. I took the habit of downloading the latest build from github every month and try things myself. Yesterday I tested Cy Girls, which was one of the few games that I could never run on any opl, and it's working fine now (enable mode 2), despite all the documentation you find online saying it doesn't even boot.

>>9966249
Hello anons, I am trying to remember the name of a PS2 game, it was a shinobi themed video game on feudal japan, there was some weird time travel plot, also it had an extremely cool map editor.
It was third person.

>>9991759
It sounds to me like you are mixing different games. I think only Tenchu 2 and Shinobido had level editors. And there was time travel in Tenchu 3 but only in a bonus map, not in the main plot.

yeah just like Resident Evil 4 and the ports of Monkey Ball on PS2 the extra DVD size didnt help with muffled audio and missing sfx and all the cutscenes turned into videos and all the Capcom 5 five games .
Also the gamecube Controller dindt had fewer buttons, the triggers could actually act like 2 buttons but barely any game used that.
And the analog control had much more degrees per angle than the PS2 controller .

Also no one cares about your quest to pose the PS2 as technically superior than the other ones, the most important thing here is talking about games.

Goblin Commander, fun RTS made by ex devs from Blizzard

Actually looks fun

Not following you at all and I guess you are confusing me with some nemisis you have. But thanks for the game suggestion

Ah you were not replying to the evil dead question. Coolio.

Is there a version of Viewtiful Joe which doesn't have awful voice recordings for half the bosses? Japanese release maybe?

>Resident Evil 4 and the ports of Monkey Ball
RE4 was originally designed solely for the GameCube. Don't know about Monkey Ball as I'm not 6 years old, but I'll take your word for it.
>all the Capcom 5 five games
Pronoun Number 03 didn't make it to PS2, because it was so bad even content-starved GameCube owners didn't buy it.
>Also the gamecube Controller dindt had fewer buttons
Yes, it did. No clickable sticks, no select button, and missing a shoulder button. Even if you count each trigger as 2 buttons (which you shouldn't), it's still 2 buttons short. The triggers shouldn't be considered 2 buttons as to activate the second "button", the first "button" must be activated first, which makes it unusable for any actions not performed in sequence.
>And the analog control had much more degrees per angle than the PS2 controller
Not even sure what you're trying to say here. But the octagonal gates on the GCN controller are objectively worse when trying to use the sticks for anything other than cardinal & intermediate directions (i.e. the purpose of analog sticks).
>Also no one cares about your quest to pose the PS2 as technically superior than the other ones
The reply was to a post about the PS2 generally being inferior, which isn't the case. Didn't say PS2 was superior to Xbox so not sure how you've invented that idea.

Question to anyone here. Did someone use illustrator to make that? I am wondering how to automate such a large list of games without manually scaling each artwork down one by one. Unless the insane person just relied on grids in ps/illustrator.

>>10001852
I don't remember if Illustrator of PhotoShop can do this, but InDesign would let you create image frames and then allow you to resize the image you place in it to fit in one action.

>PS2 cope still happening that the ps2 was capabilities wise barely better than the DC... and worse in two ways no less. Completely cummed on by the cube and xbox, and again DC in two ways

Cube isn't even a question better. There is no debate and no one will give you one. My reply is correcting you, learn from it. Be better.
A huge amount of ps2 games don't even use more than the space of a GC disc anyway, you should know this if you ever bothered to try and learn if the ps2 was actually as good as you pretend it is.

Feel bad for you kid.

Interesting

I thought this would be a good thread to ask.

The blue part of this ribbon cable just came off the other day when I opened up my phat ps2. How do people normally put it back on? are there any adhesives at all that aren't recommended to use or is anything fine?

>A huge amount of ps2 games don't even use more than the space of a GC disc
Only 1 (one) of the PS2's 20 best selling games is less than 1.5GB - Jak & Daxter. The majority of the PS2's most popular games would be physically impossible on the GameCube without the assets being shittified or being a multi-disc mess. Your claim has no basis in reality, hence you haven't listed a single one of these "huge amount of ps2 games". You've corrected nothing because you haven't stated a single fact. I'm sorry you were stuck with a GameCube as a child, but it's time to accept the realities of its shortcomings.

Has anyone here tried the Katana Wireless controller? If so are they any good or worth it?

Damn dude, I love the psx, 2, and even the 3 but stop being such a console warring cockroach.
