Forums - Microsoft - Is the Xbox 360 library about to take over the ps2 library as the greatest?

Badassbab on 06 March 2009

Way way too early to be making such comments. Expectations are higher than ever, we are not as easily impressed, games are costing more to develop to meet our expectations and taking more time....can't see this gen having as many triple A games as in the past.

its the best library this gen, its got the best third party support, and really good first party games. Nothing will ever match the ps2 library.

 

 

Pretty much, this explains it.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

This is totaly opinion based, man. I like JRPGs more than other genres, so guess what? PS1 > PS2 for me. And SNES > Both.

If your point was just that 360's library is more diverse than that of the Ps2's, you are also wrong. To say such a thing you are either very young, started playing this generation, are a ridiculously high Microsoft fanboy, or a combination of the 3.

There were crazy cult games on the PS2, there were high budgeted ones, there were some indie ones, sports, shooters, RPGs, you name it... I mean Katamari Damacy was on PS2, as well as GTA SA. That just says something.

Diversity = quality?

Anyway, for someone who starts gaming now the PS2 games may be extremely terrible no matter the value that you give them. They don't play as well, they can have much poorer frame-rates, they don't look nearly as good on a 53" HDTV and these are pretty much as objective as you can get for a subjective comparison.

Did Squilliam just quoted me? I feel important.

I get that starting gaming this gen makes everything about graphics and framerates, and I know that for PC snobs it has always been like this, but try to see things from my point of view for a second... frame rates were never an issue for me, my favorite console is the SNES, JRPGs are my favorite genre. The stuff I say will always come from a person who forgives almost every flaw in a game if the story is good.

It will unless you love japanese games. :O

I'd say it's has the best library for this generation.

PS2 has a great game library but it's out of date.

Funniest question this week, congrats.

OT: Not a chance in hell.

ABSOLUTELY NO WAY IN HELL!!! the PS2 had TONS OF great games covering almost every genre. RPGS (too many to list), Racing (Gran Turismo, Forza will never touch it), Platformers (Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper), Action (Devil May Cry, God of War, Metal Gear), hell even Mechs (Zone of The Enders anyone?).

I don't think that it's even close and I seriously doubt that it ever will be.



Jeronimo66 on 06 March 2009

I dont think it will ever happen ps2s library was legendary and I think the best ever.

Let me know when the 360 has a hack and slash that can compare to God of War, a racing game that can compare to GT4, an adventure game that can compare to Shadow of the Colossus and a 3D platformer that can compare to Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, and we'll talk.

At least the Xbox 360 is closer than the PS3!



lol how much closer can ytou be to god of war then a god of war? same for a GT and rachet and clank :P

By having better games? ^^


Such as?

Please don't say Ninja Gaiden 2 is better than God of War, I might just die laughing.
