tasty: I agree that PS2 had more 3rd party and mature games, though I think it's understandable. I think a lot of 3rd parties would have been happy not to make a lot of games for Nintendo. Of course the sales forced their hands.
I think your very right to compare it with PS1. A weaker system that had to compete with the champ. And we all know how PS1 ended up doing...
@tasty: I could match you game for game comparing first year Wii and PS2 titles all day, but that won't change the fact that you're more focused on Wii ports and shovelware than you are anything else. If your Wii game collection is any indication of the breadth of your Wii experience, you should be playing the good games out there, instead of going mental over the ports and shovelware.
You are aware that RE: CV was a port? Considering that was what this thread is about, it's odd you'd mention it in your PS2 list.
I'd like less ports, more originals too, but that's not how things work. Ports and remakes have been going on for decades. The industry has been getting larger each gen, and also more money-hungry to boot. Shovelware and ports are only going to get more numerous as time goes on(on successful systems at least). Personally, I'll be too busy playing fun games, rather than cataloguing ports and lamenting shovelware.
I do agree that some games are overpriced. But if you feel a game is over-priced, wait for a price-drop or sale(since you're concerned about the price, you must want some of them).

the reason i say the wii is nothing like the ps2 is not because i dont think the wii has quality games. i happen to think it has a good number of solid games. i also think the ps2 and wii have only 2 real things in common:
1. affordable price
2. they both sale very well.
aside from that, there's nothing.
the ps2 sold based on very strong 3rd party support and a focus on consumers who were familiar with gaming.

Because comparing a console that has all but finished its main lifecycle to one that has been out for less than a year and a half is a fair comparison...
^^
all the comparisons i made were from when the ps2 was only a year and a half in.

The PS2 launched March 4th, 2000.
Put dates next to all those PS2 games and I'll believe you.
| quigontcb said: I don't see how Rygar is a bad example of porting, and it certainly isn't "sleight of hand". It was originally going to come out last year, but has been delayed well into this year. Sounds like they taking their time with it. They've been saying this was a remake+ almost since they made mention of the game, so there is no deceit there. There is really very little info on the game besides the basics. It's a little early to be making your mind up, unless you were one of the few people who played Rygar on PS2. Still, that wouldn't make the project a "sleight of hand". |
You're right. I read an interview with the director of the game. New character designs, new combat, new enemies and redone environments doesn't sound like a port to me.
"Do you think you could get any more spittle on those fishy lips of yours?" All characters depicted are really stupid and disgusting. Any similarities to actual persons would be really sad.
