Actually, that's not true. I use to think so myself, but I recently learned there are in fact some incompatible PS1 games with the PS2, and it varies between the versions of the PS2. Even weirder, there are some versions of the PS2 that have incompatible PS2 games.littlecallen wrote:not to mention the fact that it can play every game that came out for it's predecessor
there are workarounds though. For instance the slim can't play Puzzle Fighter. But it can play the Japanese version if you know how to load imports. That's what I do.Ziggy587 wrote:Actually, that's not true.

Take a look at this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pl ... yStation_2
I don't want to turn this into a GTA thread, but GTA3 definitely had the best soundtrack. The dub radio station was all Scientist!J T wrote:More love for the PS2 here!
I still haven't moved on to the new consoles (360, PS3, Wii) because I just keeping buying games on the cheap for my PS2 and I'm happy with that (well, that and my laptop and GameCube). There is amazing diversity in the PS2 library and diversity is what I most care about, so this is clearly the console for me.
As for the Grand Theft Auto debate, I will also add that I think San Andreas was the best of the bunch. I'm not a big fan of 80s music and style though, so Vice City never quite hit me right. The original GTA III is the only one I have played from start to finish though. Largely that's just because it was first, and also because San Andreas has so much fun stuff to do that I never cared about the main quests. Like Ack, I love my BMX. I would do jumps, drive bys, and tricks. I just loved that damn little bike. I also like the camera in San Andreas and spent a lot of time photographing sunsets and dead hookers.Ahhh.... that's fucked up, isn't it?
I would definitely recommend getting component cables and a TV that supports it. However, it seems you're using one of the CRT HDTVs, which have really nice image quality despite the size of them.fvgazi wrote: Does anyone have advice for getting the best video out of PS2? Right now I'm using my Fat on my HDtv w/ S-Video, but I also have a Sony Trinitron with S-Video (sadly, no component). I was thinking about switching over to component on the HD, but some of the games like Darkwatch look terrible on it.

You don't know PS2 muddiness until you've played it on a 92" projection screen with composite cables.Ryvius wrote:I've been having trouble getting used to my PS2 on my 32' Samsung HDTV. For some reason it just looks terrible to me, really muddy, etc, with the component cables and all. I'll need to mess with the settings more...
I recently got a 50-something-inch rear projection TV for free, and I wanna get rid of it. Everything looks like a 90's bootleg movie. It's horrible.YoshiEgg25 wrote:You don't know PS2 muddiness until you've played it on a 92" projection screen with composite cables.
