Title: Wreckless coming to the PS2, was a xbox exclusive
Post by: Chrono on April 09, 2002, 11:32:08 AM
Wreckless: The Yakuza Mission was annouced for the ps2, it will be released this fall in the USA.

This previously xbox exclusive game either suffered low sales or something else for the company to change its mind. The game did have the only on xbox logo..

also, I don\'t care about the game at all.. I just find it funny

Although all the past xbox exclusive games with the  (xbox only)   title aparently are not exclusive.. you may see DOA3 on the ps2 soon along with all the sega games.

hmmm, this begs an answer to the question, which console will the game look better on?  is this a first, a game that goes from the xbox to the ps2?  i can\'t wait for the screens.
i think the graphics will go from blurriness to jagginess, LOL.

It\'s a fun game for as long as it lasts.  Wouldn\'t buy it though.

It actually had pretty good sales, I think.

The blurriness is actually an effect--it\'s supposed to mimic the exhaust.  I don\'t personally care for it, but you can bet it\'ll be in both versions.

ooseven, if you want to talk pc games, why not include GTA3, GT3 and FF going from the PS2 to PC?  The knife cut both ways.

And if you think Halo is coming out within the next year for the PC, you haven\'t been reading the reports.  Nine months at best and by that time, Halo 2 will be nearly ready to hit the xbox.  Just like no one cares about Wreckless, GTA3, GT3 or FF anymore.  By the time they hit another platform, who cares?

yeah but i don\'t have a problem with GTA3, GT3 and FF on the PS2.

and do not feal the need to buy them twice for my PC

But thats not to say that i am NOT discussed when they post PC games to the PS2 with disastrous results.

me sheads a Tear for the Shame that was Unreal and Quake 3 on the PS2.

but hey i was mainly talking about the FACT that HALO had and still does have a ONLY on X BOX sticker on it.....

the 60 FPS is something i feal the game badly needs, but hey i have already said my reasons for not getting a X box and won\'t drag them in here.

*edit*

just so i don\'t get flamed

all that is just my opinion

we are entitled to them after all

Eh, enjoy. Wreckless was nothing more than a showpiece title, IMO. 0_o It shouldn\'t be hard to pull off on the PS2, it just has all of these blinding effects thrown around with a bunch of geometry.

True, but 60FPS or not, in a year no one will care about Halo.  There will be far better things to get.

GTA3 is graphically horrible--GTA3 with a decent EVERYTHING in terms of graphics is coming out in a month for the PC.  Halo in about a year.  I dislike the game on PS2 so I could care less, but the comparisson is there.

Really, would anyone be surprised if Sega showed VF4 for xbox at E3?  GunValkrie for PS2?  I should hope not.  If it\'s not 1st party, it isn\'t exclusive.

ACTIVISION’S WRECKLESS: THE YAKUZA MISSIONS™
DELIVERS HIGH OCTANE FUN TO THE
PLAYSTATION®2 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

Santa Monica, CA – April 10, 2002 – Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) is bringing the high-speed, high jinx of the best-selling WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions™ video game series to the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. The title, which has remained a top-selling game on the Xbox™ sales charts, takes mission-based driving action to new heights with platform specific features including free-roaming interactive environments, more cars to drive, a variety of sub-mission objectives that unlock game-enhancing cheats and a multiplayer mode for head-to-head action. WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions is not yet rated by the ESRB and is expected to ship this fall.

“The insanely reckless, pulse-pounding fun that made WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions a success on the Xbox will take mission-based driving to new heights on the PlayStation 2,” said Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, worldwide studios for Activision. “The game delivers an over-the-top action experience by allowing players to weave through traffic, bust through barriers, crash into parked cars, break through plate glass windows and even race up an escalator in a local mall.”

WRECKLESS: The Yakuza Missions immerses players in the unpredictable underworld of Hong Kong by allowing players to choose from two distinct storylines – either as part of an elite task force assigned to take down the Hong Kong mafia or as a high-level government agent trying to uncover links between the mafia and the police. The game lets players take full control of the action as they pursue Yakuza thugs in 20 hair-raising missions and 20 sub-missions that unlock game enhancing cheats. Gamers choose from 25 different vehicles as they race through a free-roaming interactive city and maneuver real traffic patterns, tear through parks and drive on sidewalks to complete their mission.

It\'s pretty good for about a week or so.  I had a lot of fun, but after that there\'s nothing left to do unfortunately.

lol i love how people think the PS2 is maxed already

now i do think Wreckless could be done on PS2 - specially after seeing it and playing it

but it wont be done perfectly that freaking quick - if its coming this fall already

oh well ports are nothing much and they never are better then the original really and the game is so damn boring and repetitive its not even funny
