Why people say the PS1's library is much stronger than the PS2's?

>> No.7881881

Doesn't matter what way you slice it, they're the two greatest consoles of all time.

>> No.7881883

They’re both stronger than the PS3, at least.

They're close, but
>more high profile games due to shorter dev cycle
>it did all the 3D firsts, while the PS2 was mostly just continuations
That said I think as PS2 emulation gets more accessible and people explore its library more it will gain more esteem.

>> No.7881945

>>7881870
Both libraries are so ridiculously strong, any kind of comparison is pointless. They both have upwards of 4,000 games. That's ludicrous even by modern standards.

Hell yeah! I've been running through some Crash 2 lately as well.

This right here.
In the first half of the 2000s I spent more time playing PS1 games that I could get for only $5-10 at EB Games and flea markets. Never ran out of new games to try. The second half of the decade is when I did the same with PS2 games (but they were like $10-20).
Sure I picked up a couple duds that I only played for a week but I'm glad I got to experience so many different games. I used to keep a handwritten list of every game I'd ever played and my rating of it but alas, it was lost when I moved in 2010 :(

Not a PS2 exclusive, it's way better on Xbox.

The ratio of classics to shovelware was much better on PS1. But that's mostly due to the sheer volume of games that came out on the PS2.

When the later PS3 models dropped backwards compatability with the PS2, it signaled the beginning of the end. The PS4 era destroyed any respect I had left for them. Those last few months of 2020 were especially bad.

>> No.7882907

>>7881870
PS1 had more real exclusives while the PS2 had more shared games I guess. Lots of games I think of as reasons to buy a PS2 back in the day were still multiplatform

Experimental 3D games vs. Polished 3D games.
Some people prefer the first option to the second.

It is a shame. The PS4 had some improvement at first but they went back to their old habits. Now, the PS5 has no real selling point. At least that new Xbox has backwards compatability.

The fact that more people tuned in to Nintendo’s E3 for a hardware revision that doesn’t exist then for Sony talking about news for a console that’s actually real speaks volumes. Hoping the boys in blue get their act together, but for now I’m sticking with their first two consoles.

PS1 had the better games in a larger variety of genres. PS2 developed existing genres into highly refined versions of themselves, but the sheer number of great PS1 games far outstrips the selection on PS2. It's important not to forget that the PS2's library far outstrips its contemporaries - just to give you a framework for how far head the PS1 is.

Ok but it’s still a bad console bro. Sales don’t make something good.

We’ll see how the sales shake up in a year. In the meantime, enjoy FIFA, COD, and that PS3 port.

Because the PS2 has basically no weird obscure games like the PS1. It's just an RPG, port and showelware machine

I don't like it either but I'm not the target audience. It's a decent cuckbox for people who like new gen games. My friends who have one like it so far.
I don't think it has anything to offer over PS4 (doesn't even have a web browser app), but I rarely play any game made after 2001 anyway.
