beezee88 Posted August 29, 2003 does anyone remember the hysterical deal that sony made about the ps2's multimedia capabilities? well, I love my ps2, but where's all the cool stuff? no internet access, no hard drive, no webcam, no point in the optical digital out? or has all this cool stuf just passed me by? actually no, I hate my ps2, it scratches all my fucking disks!!! Max Payne, GTA3, GTA:VC, Ape Escape, DOOOOMPSX!!!!! they're all gone :( 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted August 29, 2003 Um, AFAIK, you CAN have the internet for PS2. 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted August 29, 2003 Yeah, you can have internet access...at a cost. 0 Share this post Link to post
EllipsusD Posted August 29, 2003 The internet at a cost... but it's foolish to think that it would be for free. Also, the hard drive is going to be coming out soon (if it's not already out), as it is necessary for FF11. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted August 30, 2003 As people already said, you can connect the PS2 to the 'net. IIRC there's also a PS2 hard-drive, but it's only available in Japan. And I know it isn't exactly a Webcam, but there's the Eyetoy... :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted August 30, 2003 The PS2 is an overrated piece of junk. It's the least superior of all next generation consoles INCLUDING the Dreamcast, it happens to end up becoming the most expensive because of all the shit you have to buy for it, and the ratio of good games:bad games is alot lower on the PS2 compared to Gamecube (Not the XBOX though, I don't even think that has any games). Another thing that bugs me about Sony is their lack of creativity. Consoles have been known for having half-creative names. Playstation wasn't a bad name, but sticking the word 2 on the end of it was so incredibly stupid that I laughed when it was announced. I can imagine it now..."Hey Tim, want to go play my Nintendo 6 and Mario 10?" If only members of society wern't brainwashed 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted August 30, 2003 And I suppose sticking "Super" in front of NES, and "64" after Nintendo were works of genius, were they? 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted August 30, 2003 Too bad they didn't name the Gamecube the Super Nindento 64 Boy. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aliotroph? Posted August 30, 2003 Too bad GameCube only has 1GB discs. WTF were they thinking with that??? Other than that, it's a great system. Too bad I don't like playing console games. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted August 30, 2003 The largest N64 games were 64MB, and they made pretty darn impressive use of what they had. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted August 30, 2003 AndrewB said:The largest N64 games were 64MB, and they made pretty darn impressive use of what they had. Yup. We long ago passed the point where technology stopped being a restriction to gameplay and from which extra storage space really hasn't contributed anything to the fun factor of games. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scabbed Angel Posted August 30, 2003 Sony has always seemed (to me anyway) to rush their products. N64 had 3d acceleration which made it more pleasing to look at than ps1, and I believe that they were in the same or similar development timeframe. They could've waited and implemented it, but I guess being competitive was more important. And weren't 1/2 of the PS2's held back because of manufacutor's defect? 0 Share this post Link to post
spank Posted August 30, 2003 3D acceleration != bilinear filtering You DON'T want to see Ridge Racer running on a 33MHz PC. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted August 31, 2003 Can't wait for the Nintendo Gamesphere (super dee duper South Park reference) You know, GC seems to be the only nextgen system that really focused on games. 0 Share this post Link to post
