Thought it was bad for the ps2,
Lets add this to the xbox

“Sega and Cool Net Entertainment will be converting an as-yet unspecified range of older games to Xbox, with the first titles set to be released in Japan this summer. The games, of varying vintage, will include Mega Drive and Saturn hits, as well as the more obvious Dreamcast ports.”

I’m.... not done yet.

"Sega displayed a graphic highlighting the four architectures that it will be supporting. Included in the list were the Dreamcast-based Naomi family (this includes Naomi 2), the GameCube based Triforce hardware, the Xbox-based, tentatively titled Chiriro hardware, and the so-called System X. This latter hardware was announced a couple of weeks back as being developed in cooperation with Sammy, publisher of the Guilty Gear series.
One area that surprises us is the lack of support for the PS2-friendly System 246 hardware. Sega, Namco and Sony Computer Entertainment announced long ago that they were working on something along that lines, again as part of Sega\'s arcade networking plans. They companies even showed what looked like prototype hardware. We haven\'t a clue what became of that."

So, lots of arcade games the ps2 won’t see..

Can it be any worse? Yes it can

While sega plans to support the ps2 online with its sports titles, other then that the ps2 has no other only sega games, while even the GCN has at least one other non sports title.

Certainly looks like the ps2 is their primary platform… :rolleyes:

Why does Sega ignore the ps2?
I guess ps2 owners only have Shinobi to look forward too.. there is nothing else. VF4 is already out, and expected to be released on the xbox soon anyway..
Good thing every other company is doing the opposite... (edit: oops, except tecmo)

I bet Sega got a boatload of cash from MS.  I\'m pretty sure it was a good decision.

Sega is not overrated.

I never noticed how most of Sega\'s top quality titles are going to Xbox only/first.  I like this move considering that they\'ll probably be in their top form...

and the System 246 is PS2 friendly...but that\'s it.  It would take more effort to put it on the other two consoles.  I know PS2 outsells Xbox and GC combined but remember that software sells systems...

Does anyone know if Sega was satisfied with thier VF4 port to PS2?  I remember way back when they were saying it will be arcade perfect and such...obviously it did not.  This was also from AM2, one of the more talented and highly skilled developers from Sega.

Could it be because of capabilities, or lack thereof?

I\'ll have all three consoles this generation, so I\'m not really concerned about all this. If you want a Sega fix tho, go buy a frickin Dreamcast. Christ, they cost about as much as a PS2 game and the games themselves are dirt cheap, most of the time costing about as much as a supervalue meal at McDonalds.

Sides, don\'t bytch. It\'s not like many of you were too interested in Sega before the switch to 3rd party.. why are you complaining now??

Shut up and buy the other consoles.

I don\'t think I was whining in my post, I was just pointing something out. There is more then enough gaming on the ps2 and GCN for me, and frankly, anyone else in the universe. If you need more games you need a life and a job. I\'ve always said sega makes bad descisions, this just prooves my point.
The xbox is still pretty useless, If I bought one all it would do is collect dust.. why do I need to buy one?
If it goes the way of every other american console, it won\'t be around much past 2003.. this season is crucial, and most of the big name titles don\'t come out till 2003..
With the exception of Tecmo and Sega, every other japaneese developer has virtually ignored the xbox, that must tell you something..

Hey, btw, where are all the RPGs?
OHH! thats right.. on the PS2!

If Sega is supporting the XBox so well...

And you started this whole thread just to inform us all...

You must really want those Sega games...

So why would buying an Xbox be for collecting dust?

And you say you\'re not whining?

How many times have you moaned and groaned about how Sega is "ignoring" the PS2?

First of all, I played most of them on my Dreamcast
Second, with the exception of Sonic and Phantasy Star (not the online crap) i\'ve never really loved sega games..
Thus far only VF4 has been a AAA game (using the average 90% of better ranking), and I don\'t really care for fighting games.

Thats your problem that you can\'t find a game you like on the ps2.. or rather choose not to, or in reality, don\'t actually own a ps2.
Millions upon millions of others can, thats 100% your fault.

LOL, I bought a PS2 a little after FFX came out...regretfully.  Fortunatley Jak & Daxter and FFIX were available otherwise I would have returned it.  I\'ve tried all the "big" titles, nothing more than rentals, IMO.

Liking a certain game comes down to opinion which you\'re not going to be able to argue...I like my Xbox more than my PS2, what\'s it to you?

Yes, only one of those titles are available at the moment...if those had all been out, FFX probably would have been met with much more criticism...assuming any of the above turn out to be as good.

I have played just about every RPG available for PS2, they are all crap IMO.  I had to settle for FFX being that there is nothing else worth playing at this time...EDIT:IMO

Try the entire "Square comments on comments made by Nintendo" thread...it took forever to finally get something out of you.  You dodge questions which leads me to believe you are making false statements...much like just now.

And those charts are from Japan...

Quit your whining and "PS2 Is God; XBox Is Crap" sermon.

You say the only Sega games you like are Sonic and Phantasy Star, but not the online version.

Guess what? Sonic is available on GC, which you own. PS isn\'t going to any platform as it doesn\'t exist.

So give it a rest and just enjoy the game.

Post by: AlteredBeast on June 12, 2002, 06:10:32 PM
waaaaa!!!! Sega isn\'t making tons of games for PS2, that must mean they are getting paid by MS and Nintendo!!

Why do you care, Chrono?

XBox has Morrowind, more ambitious than anything conceived or in development on PS2 in terms of RPGs besides FFXI, which happens to not be out anywhere but Japan until 2003.

Most of the PS2 RPGs I have played are stagnant. They use old story formulas and even older gameplay elements. I don\'t know how you can consider many of these "fun".

Konami has MGS: S coming out first on XBox

Namco is coming out with Soul Calibur 2 on all platforms

Atlus is making Shin Megami Tensei online for XBox

Sega is making several American and Japan style games for XBox

Tecmo is making Ninja Gaiden (which will be big) and DOA:volleyball :)

Capcom is making Steel Batallion and Dino Crisis 3

and etc. Don\'t give me that bullcrap about Sega being the only Japanese developer working on XBox games. And what about the great American devs working on XBox? Sega (VC and etc.), EA, Activision, Lionhead, Sierra, etc. Euro devs. - Ubi Soft, Infogrames, etc.

XBox is NOT starved for content, nor quality of content, it appears. There are over 200 games that will be available by Christmas 2002, yet idiots like you will still proclaim that Halo is the only game worth playing :rolleyes: Why don\'t you get off that gig, ok?

so go play Morrowind, or invite 3 friends over and play Hunter, play the spiritual successor to WSB\'98 and get WSB. Buy the fantastic Moto GP, and if you got balls, play it over GameSpy! Outlaw Golf has been getting praise from everyone (especially if you like HSG3), or pick up some great old games like JSRF, GUNVALKYRIE, Blood Omen 2, Rallisport Challenge, and Tony Hawk 3.

Point is, you are either enjoying inferior versions of some of those games on PS2, or you are trying to dislike XBox without actually playing the games. Morrowind is my latest game and it is truly excellent! It has been getting high 8\'s and 9\'s from reviewers. Even G-Spot gave it an 8.5.

If you can enjoy Frontline on PS2, you can certainly enjoy any of those titles, especially when Frontline contains much of the same from the past 2 MOH games, but without the multiplayer.

all those games (except outlaw golf, cause i havent played it yet) you listed are mediochre or more of the same

so what if the ports have a few less slowdowns (blood omen2, tony hawk3), the degredation in xbox control would promote the PS2 version for me

hunter was boring as poop, wsb2003 made me feel like i was watching more than i was playing, gunvalkrye was like a balloon in the hot sun (yeah, not a good thing), and everyone knows damn well how i feel about blurry rallisport

so there you see, it makes no difference to me really what console the games are on.  i want content, not graphics

most of the xbox games are like a picasso
pretty to look at, for a little while, than you move quickly onto the next one

and my OPINIONS are wrong how?

you guys think cause its got a little green x on it thats its the be all, end all of gaming

morrowind on the xbox is a joke of a game.  it doesnt matter if its the dev\'s fault or the xbox\'s limitations.  

the rest of my point about the games are valid

especially my analogy to picasso

Title: Yep, sega ignores the ps2.. info inside
Post by: AlteredBeast on June 12, 2002, 06:42:37 PM
your opinions are valid?!?!? You obviously haven\'t even played Morrowind yet. You are just relying on fanboy comments made in the topic further down on the page. The game runs steady at 30fps except for large crowds and heavy atmosphere, much like GASP Shenmue!!! The scope actually matches Shenmue, and beats it it size easily. This game is literally the biggest I have ever seen and I can understand why it took years to develop.

Go PLAY the ****ing games and quit *****ing about things you don\'t know about. All those games (with the exception of GV, which is much loved or much hated) have been getting much better than average scores.

You seem to enjoy Frontline with it\'s standard amount of slowdown, blur, average gameplay, etc.

I can admit I love to play Frontline, but I also love games on XBox that are much improved over the rinse and repeat formula that EA has given it\'s games, it makes me sick to buy Fronline because it seems I am encouraging them to keep on making the same games.

thanks for yet again supporting my theory that xbox zealots are so hostile

anyways, do you forget where i work?
i played morrowind last week

its a piece of ****e, the only difference between the PC version is that the pc version runs smoother

the battle system is totally wack

how dare you knock shenmue!  shenmue has action, drama, and *gasp* atmosphere!

morrowind has lots of mofo\'s standing around pissed off to be talking to you, and too much to say

you\'ve seen me hostile mm, and that was NOT it. That was me telling you to stop bitching and actually play games.

You have never said where you work, btw.

I compared it only to Shenmue in size, Shenmue and Shenmue II are obviously better games, but Morrowind is truly excellent.

You\'re wrong in my opinion, that\'s all.

They have less slowdowns and better graphics/sound.  And I don\'t care what you say, slowdown affects the game, and my enjoyment of it--esp TH3, the slowdown on the PS2 is crazy sometimes.

I think Hunter is a very fine game.  WSB is also a very fine game--both are getting great reviews too.

I was let down by Gunvalkrye, it was ok, but it could have been better.  I wouldn\'t put it anywhere on my list.

Ralisport is a very good game, and lots of fun with friends.

Morrowind gave me a headache to play--I\'ve never experienced that before, but I think it probably was the small but frequent  interruptions to cache parts of the level.  I liked the gameplay for the couple hours I played, but I can\'t say I enjoyed it for what it did to me.  The combat is crap.  mm is right about the NPCs who are grumpy, but then talk for ages.  I hated that they built this bad ass game, let you do all this detailed stuff to your character, then pitted you off against crabs, rats and bugs.  Ugh.  I can see why people would like this game.  It\'s quite an accomplishment (disregarding graphically), but I\'ll never play it again, PC or xbox.

___________
so there you see, it makes no difference to me really what console the games are on. i want content, not graphics
___________


And yet your biggest complaint about Ralisport is that it is blurry?  That Halo runs at 30fps? hm.  Yet you will live with slowdown and every other graphical shortcoming on PS2?  

I know, I know--you expect more--but at the end of the day does it matter which box is spinning that disc?  If you are getting a better complete game who cares if it\'s the xbox?  

About the controller: pick up the PS2 pad converter and you can stop that problem too.  I would think someone so offended by the xbox pad, would have done that by now.  

And again, in the last couple months there has not been a great come for PS2.

Post by: mm on June 13, 2002, 02:34:45 AM
there\'s no point to bring up my other quirks with halo and rallisport, they\'re well known to everyone

content before graphics?  halo and rallisport are two prime examples of the opposite.  hunter and gunvalkrye are two more

like i said, they\'re pretty to look at for a bit, but they\'re duds in the long run (for me).  i\'ll never, ever play halo again.  after beating it on legendary, i have zero interest in going back thru and seeing the same tired levels.  

look at something like circus maximus, *shudder*

you say nothin good has come out on PS2 (you forgot moh:f), well i can say the same thing for xbox, and the GC is even worse

of course i overlook a few more graphical shortcomings on PS2 games, they run on two year old hardware and with a machine hard as nails to dev for.  

early summer is always a slow time for the industry

What about the multiplayer.  I play 2 vs. 2 Halo like 2 or 3 days a week with some guys I know.  Its so much fun.  2 vs. 2 to 50 on Hang Em High.

that or being a pro with green shells...I owned battle mode.

I pulled off the Wario Stadium shortcut like two times...I could usually catch up with boost and if I happen to be near them with shells it was all over.

The Rainbow Road shortcut was always 50/50 when trying to execute it...extremely frustrating.

I thought VF4 was arcade perfect and that Sega said they found no difficulty on developing on PS2 and that if PS2 can handle VF4 then it can also handle DOA3.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED NOW???

I also thought Skies of Arcadia was coming on PS2 too.

I almost forgot about this...they had stated this about 3-6 months prior to finishing up VF4.  I bet it\'s a different story now...

Can PS2 handel DOA3...I believe if they were to port it, you would see a slight graphical degrade...Slight, but noticeable.

Late 2003 or 2004!!! GC will be getting it first...my bets are they are tweaking the graphics and giving it a bit more engaging battle system...I hope they are anyway.

Whats the difference in graphical quality between the PS2 and the arcade version?I ve read that the only difference is that there are very very few parts of the backround on the PS2 that are not 3D.
Title: Yep, sega ignores the ps2.. info inside
Post by: Ginko on June 20, 2002, 08:12:31 AM
That\'s one of the differences...another is there are some jaggies.  They aren\'t like stick\'em in your eyes apparent, but noticeable.  That and some of the stages and characters seem to have lost a little bit of graphical flair found in the arcade version.  

Like I said, it\'s not a bad port.  The problems are very minor and nothing to ***** about.  However, it is not arcade perfect...

As with the rest of the game, the PS2 port isn\'t quite as polished.  Once again, I will say that it\'s not that big of a deal.  I suggest playing the game for yourself, and you be the judge...

Huh?!!Is it THAT much inferior compared to the arcade???

I have a DVD with the arcade trailer and a demo disk from OPM which shows some PS2 footage of the game and I really havent noticed much difference.The first and most noticable thing are the jaggies from what I saw.I really havent noticed any major difference except from the jaggies.

play the helicopter level (Jacky\'s), particularly with Lei Fei and Lau Chan and you will notice big discrepancies in the lighting, shimmering, flow of characters clothing, etc. PS2 Hardware could never recreate a game which uses NAOMI 2 to it\'s fullest, tons of texture memory, 6 (I think) light sources, etc. all at 10 million polys fully lit and textured! I say PS2 did a pretty damn good job doing it, though.

Yeah, it\'s pretty much what Altered says.

mm, you use graphics tart as if it\'s somehow a bad thing.  Graphics are very important in terms of atmosphere, immersion and overall enjoyment.  Graphical problems take me out of the game, remind me that I am playing a game, and sometimes impede progress/fun factor.

You say you have high expectations, why not insist on the whole package?  Great story, great gameplay and great graphics ALL go together to make a great game.

On the subject of VF4 I guess I can sum it up like this: The PS2 version was done as well as it could be and Sega was pretty good at hiding the differences between the Arcade version and the PS2 version. But of course, a train eye will see that the Arcade version is massively superior on a technical basis.

VF4 seems like a good port. Granted I never played the arcade version but the graphics seemed beautiful to me and the gameplay was superb. Me and my brother had 100 matches in a row one night just because we kept getting tied, he eventually won, that bastard! :)
