Since its inception in the year 2000 the Sony PlayStation 2 has sold well over 100 million consoles worldwide and does not seem to be slowing down even in this new era of so called 'next-gen gaming' with heavy competition from the technologically superior Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft's XBOX 360 and even the Nintendo Wii.
The PlayStation 2 has now becoming so affordable that consumers from Europe and North America are able to pick up the console without having to worry about the price leaving a huge hole in their pockets.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
G-MODE will release Namco-developed game Xenosaga: Pied Piper as a G-MODE Archives+ title for Switch via Nintendo eShop and PC via Steam in Japan, the company announced.
Everyone: We want a Xenosaga Trilogy Remaster/Release/Remake!
Namco: We hear you! We are going to re-release a Xenosaga mobile phone game!
Everyone: wtf?
Now now... guys... Maybe this is part of testing the waters for either a trilogy re-release , remaster, remake, or a reboot?
PlayStation 2 is more affordable than ever and we even hear of another price drop arriving in time for the holidays. Games are still coming out and consumers who can't afford a next-gen console can always pick up a PS2 and not get disappointed.
Kudos to Sony for not abandoning the vast majority of their fans like Microsoft did with the original XBOX and Nintendo with the Gamecube. Some would argue that XBOX and Gamecube games are all backwards compatible in their own next-gen consoles but consumers will still have to pay the premium prices for those machines.
Most importantly, Sony are still releasing new games on the PS2 that are pretty good and getting good reviews. God Of War 2 and Persona 3 are good examples.
that sony is still keeping the ps2 alive but i think that is why alot of ps2 owners are not ready or willing to move on to the ps3. because some of the games that come out on the ps3 are available on the ps2 so ppl are not gonna wanna upgrade yet.
The 19.99 PS2 Greatest Hits library is the single greatest treasure trove of gaming ever created.
Gamers are desperately trying to rush through their backlog of PS2 titles before the onslaught of AAA PS3 titles hits at the start of next month with Lair, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank.
Wonder what system all of these amazing numbers of new and existing 115 million PS2 owners are going to upgrade to over the next couple of years...
Wonder if it will be a system that plays virtually all of their old PS1 and PS2 games, has the same universally hailed greatest controller design, upscales their old games beautifully to 1080p, and has new versions of all the same franchies they bought the PS2 for like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, SOCOM, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Ico/Shadow of the Colossus...
Yep thats rigth still the best console... why??? Insane amount of AAA titles
