Take a PC and just put it into an oversized case - done.

I still got my blue box and the two games I bought for it before quitting video games for a decade. Tony Hawk 4 and Virtua Fighter 4. Actually, no, I did buy one other game. Way of the Samurai and my faggot friend traded it into Funcoland when I let him borrow it. And it had my memory card in the case.

I wish I had a functional DS2. I still got my PS1 controller that I used to play VF4 (too many years of tekken with that controller. it was broken in just right) but the DS2 committed suicide from being stored in a closet for 20 years. I read online that the pcb traces oxidize if it isn't used for an extended period. I opened it up and tried to clean the traces but it looked like they had evaporated or some shit. now I just use a ds3 with my brook adapter.

Not great but feels like a real time capsule. Like a PS1/Dreamcast game but with souped-up visuals.
>Wild Wild Racing
Underrated if I'm being honest.
>Unreal Tournament
Fun, but inferior to both the PC version and the Dreamcast port.
>TimeSplitters
Good fun in multiplayer, though the single-player lacks content, just feels like an early prototype for TimeSplitters 2.

Good fun if you're into Tekken.

Never played it.
>Summoner
Feels a bit bland and drab, visuals aren't impressive but the gameplay was neat for a console game at the time.

It's okay I guess... really jealous that the Dreamcast had Street Fighter 3 instead though probably because of Sony's "muh 3D" stance at the time.

Has a bit of that janky launch game stink about it, but it was visually impressive and fun for a little bit at-least.

They have cool soulful shit like Pokemon cards and DVD's on the shelves that you don't find in game/electronic stores anymore, instead you see shitty Fuckopop figures and preorder brochures for soulless overhyped trash games.

It also represents a different culture I think, giving the sense that we still lived in a relatively-free society. The dude at the register looks like he's in a good mood and has the sense that he's got his whole life ahead of him, whereas a lot of people working retail now are snarky, effeminate, depressing, and dead inside because they know their future is fucked.

I didn't care much about the launch titles. But quite ironically I indeed bought two japanese PS2 launch titles very late and way after the PS2 era was over.

Btw. these titles were Dead of Alive 2 and the Squaresoft Wrestling game All Star Pro Wrestling, which wasn't that great of a game but got better with every sequel. To this date ASPW3 is by far the best looking PS2 wrestling title. But you can't say that about the first iteration of the game, which had a really bizarre controlling scheme (either ONLY via directional buttons or with the analog sticks but with some kind of gesture control with various circling motions - very weird indeed).

Just beat MGS 2 for the first time since 2002 last night. Some PS2 era nostalgia, but it holds up on its own, since I honestly haven't played it in so long that most of the second act is fresh. I'm reminded why I never replayed it though; it stops being much of a game after Shell 1.
Amazing how HUGE and mindblowing MGS2 was in terms of graphical advancement at the time, but I'm playing MGS5 in parallel with this and while it certainly looks nicer than 2, its hardly mindblowing anymore. That sort of wow factor no longer exists, and hasn't really since the 6th gen.

I under appreciated the story at the time. The novel nature of digital information never occurred to me, because I couldn't really remember a time before it (my schools had a computer lab with the world wide web back in 1995, even if I didn't have it at home until the late 90s). And digital censorship was still in the future. At the time, I was more overwhelmed the absolute retardation that is Liquid-Ocelot and overlooked most of the themes.

>On October 25, 2000, Tecmo released DOA2: Hardcore for the PlayStation 2 in America and Europe, which was based on the Japanese second update of Dead or Alive 2 for Dreamcast. This version was featuring new playable characters, new stages, extra costumes and introduced the "Gallery" option. The Hard*core release was finally the complete game Itagaki had envisioned at the time, featuring many changes compared to its predecessor: Characters, pictures and moves were altered to appear more realistic, lessening the anime-look. Some fighting animations were elaborated upon, while others were cut. New stages were added (8 more than the Dreamcast update). More character outfits were added. Survival Mode now only took place in the "Danger Zone" arena. Overall gameplay speed was increased, and the entire game (including cutscenes) now ran at a full 60 frames-per-second (in the Dreamcast version, the game ran at 60fps, while cutscenes ran at 30). A special "Items Collection" feature and menu section was added to appeal to video game collectors. New artworks were added, and a CG Gallery section featuring renders of the female characters was added. The player history files were enhanced, and now included statistics on how often the player used each character, and tag battle pairing. Several special moves were added, but left undocumented. English voiceovers were added in addition to the original Japanese voice overs. Kasumi can be unlocked as a trainable 'monster' in Monster Rancher 4 by going to the Shrine, and inserting the DOA2: Hardcore disk in the PS2.
You sure about that Bernie? I know you're retarded but Hardcore is the definitive non-Ultimate version of the game.

Shit like this stupid post made me weary of playing the first Timesplitters, since I had played 2 and 3 first. But I finally said "Fuck it. It's more Timesplitters" and got it earlier this month. The first Timesplitters game is actually really fun and I like the mapmaker a bit more than the two sequels'. I also like the character designs and animations a little more and how unbalanced the weapons are. Definitely better than a lot of you say it is and I think it's worth playing. I will say that the story mode is a bit weak, but the game's optimized for multiplayer/arcade mode and it really shines there. Lots of great levels I've never seen before, too.

Was there ever any console with a really outstanding and truly impressive launch lineup? Usually the first titles are rather bland and unremarkable since the devs haven't got a hang on the system yet. Just look at the C64. The early games look absolutely ridiculous and partially are still even hideous underperforming (many were still programmed in BASIC), while (at least purely in terms of graphic fidelity) the late games were small marvels in what they managed to get out of the rater limited 8-bit hardware. You usually can't do that at launch time, since you don't know the quirks of the hardware yet.
