Got the NEW OPS2 mag yesterday and it has a playable demo of ZOE2 and I have to say is Whaaaooooooooo :eek:
What a Game, anyway this might shock our NTSC cousins but we have still to have the delights of both ZOE 2 and Dark Chronicles.
Well At last and nearly ¾ of a year later we will finally get the chance to own them.
Dark Chronicles is out this Friday
And ZOE is out the following week.
Why I hear you ask ?
I mean in most cases the only thing they have to is convert the TV standard, and even then most of us Europeans have televisions that can handle 60hz …so what’s the delay ?
Anyway this thread is devoted the games like ZOE 2 and Dark Chronicles that have been painfully slow in being release over there.
Anyway Sony had better get their act together on the region front or i\'ll be seriously considering letting the PS2 go and focus on the PC (no regions to worry about).
-
ZOE 2 demo is not bad. Have you tried the Soul Calibur 2 demo yet?:eek:
True Crime : Streets of LA is very impressive imo too.
-
Chaos Legion is great but half the time during heatedbattles i wonder what hte hell is going on.
ah well won\'t be long till we get our hands on Dark Chronicle
/me drools

You\'ll concentrate on PC gaming?
How about you concentrate on PC gaming while waiting for your console games to be released? :)
One of the better things about the XBox this generation is the lack of waiting for high profile games to be released in Pal territories. Usually within a week.. Meanwhile, I haven\'t checked the stores for KOToR yet! :mad:
*end rambling*
-
Even the 50/60hz selector is not enough to justify delays. Do you know how long is the code they have to add to make the game run in a 50hz tv? 9 lines of text and 129 words.
Pathetic.
-
But the Pal version of ZOE2 doesnt offer just a 60/50Hz mode.Dont forget the extras.I ve also heard that they have improved the framerate which means less slowdown.

That so? Groovy. You should go do it then.
Or then you could stop and think for a while.
Take your pick :)

Are there any gamers there that buy NTSC TVs and mod their consoles so they can play any games they want? This way, there\'re no borders to limit your gaming hunger. :)

what that i sould ban you and Kurt for talking about mod chips....
joking...just joking ;)

Well, that depends. The modding is so you can play legitimate games and not pirated ones. Why should someone in Europe not be allowed to play a NTSC game coz no one picked it up for development there? I want to be able to play WRC2 but I can\'t (we don\'t have PAL TVs nor do I have a mod chip). If I had a mod and BOUGHT the REAL game, it\'s no skin off Sony\'s back.
I have a modded 1995 PSX so I could play Japanese games that never came here. They\'re not pirated games, just imports. Modding has its place in the gaming world.
And for the record, not all modded PSX and PS2 consoles were meant for pirated games. Gamers just want to play imports.
-
I\'m with Gman. Sony should be ashamed of persecuting modding instead of trying to get good PAL conversions.

Chaos Legion was pretty nice. It was actually challenging to me. Some of the enemies would take out so much damage and it pissed me off cause i would be so far and then get killed. I think i only got to the 10 or 11 stage. Playing with Arcia was F*ing awesome.
Anyway, what exactly is Dark Chronicle? Never heard of that term/game w/e.
-
Dark Chronicle = Dark Cloud 2
I recommend you dig up some info on it somewhere if you\'re not familiar with it. Looks and sounds very lovely, could well save my year RPG-wise.
-
Hawke, dark chronicle has been launched today, hasn\'t it?

Whens the PAL ZOE2 release?
