yep.
I really don't know why you would want to buy them in the first place, tbh. Unless you don't own them for the PSX and find them cheaply (since Gamestop and Ebgames had RE3 at like 45 bucks, It's really not worth it, considering the DC version is technically the best), your better off emulating them on the computer (via emulator), playing them on the computer, or getting a DC or PS1 and playing them that way.

Is this a joke? Those games were ported to PS2 when PS2 launched. Backwards compatibility, dude...
No, I meant that they were full-on ports, not exactly a remake, but kinda like MGS: Twin Snakes, without major changes.
But the gamecube ports of RE2 and RE3 were NOT like MGSTT, which was a remake, not a port. Maybe you just phrased that wrong.
Backwards compatibility doesn't really count as a port, as it's emulation, hardware in this case, since the PS1 CPU is the I/O Controller for the PS2. Most people consider a port to be something that's made as a stand alone program for a new platform. Considering the game is a PS1 game and is basically being played on a modified PS1, it's really not a port.
Right. A port would most likely be inferior to what PS2 got. And Capcom knew it. The games ran flawlessly on PS2, so there was no reason to "port" them to PS2.
The question remains silly and redundant.
I'm not saying they were remakes like MGS TS, I'm saying that the graphics and whatnot were updated a bit.

How so? The resolution for the 3d models was doubled, but past that, there wasn't much difference. Unless you count RE3 on GC using the PC versions transitional high rez background segments. I've detailed this in another post with screenshots, but the PC version has certain focused portions of the backgrounds redone in 640x480. I estimate about 1/3rd of the backgrounds were given this treatment.
But really, it's a very minor update. It's still just a flat port. And RE2 didn't receive the background treatment.
Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2. I actually beat both, and I hardly ever beat RPGs. Great exclusive Cube games. A lot of a charm in the simplistic design. I can't quite explain it.

LordOfTheCynics post called them remakes, are they just ports?

-Jubal-
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is basically the Dreamcast version with more multiplayer modes. Otherwise it is the same game. A solid product honestly, as far as that series can go.
Sonic Adventure DX was just Sonic Adventure 1 with improved 3D models and textures on the characters and some other areas. But the frame rate was kind of inconsistent and really irritated me when I tried to play the fast-paced levels, so I preferred the Dreamcast original, and which is a pretty bad game to begin with.
Ya, while not too complex of a remake, sonic battle 2 is justified. The original Sonic adventure doesn't really deserve to get on there though. It's not something you really need to play, or even try for that matter.
Then again, I may be a bit biased towards SA2:B as it was one of the first games I bought on my first console, GCN, along with the wind waker (free), NFL 2k6 (thank god it was free, since it sucked ass), and the collectors edition of robotech. That and the wind waker took up a lot of my time, since I loved em
