no way. PS2 beats out PS3 any day. Even in the PS2's first 3 years. You had games like Timesplitters 1 and 2. Dynasty Warriors was cool back then. Armored core still rocked. FF 10 and the MGS 2 were out. GTA 3 was awsome. Kingdom Hearts and DBZ budokai were a blast. The Tony Hawk games were still top notch back then as well. Soul Reaver 2 was cool. Prince of Persia rocked. Tekken Tag and Tekken 4 were top notch and the Onimusha series was good. Devil May Cry was still good back then too. Shinobi as well. Ratchet and Clank came into existence.
Dont get me wrong we have a lot of those franchises on next gen consoles as well, but some just are plain outdated now and the others just didn't have the same feeling as with their older versions like Devil May Cry 4 or Armored Core 4. This generation has less games and the epicness of some of them isn't as great. What's the big difference between resident evil 5 and 4? What is the big difference between Soul Calibur 3 and 4? I mean SC 4 was just SC 3 only with online, It didn't have hardly any new characters besides the guest star wars people and the shop for buying weapons and everything else was very inaccessible. The fighting was the same thing with almost no new additions. Yeah they added the armor break and the finishing move type thing but that was it. I would have rather had Soul Calibur 3 with online as a downloadable game like Tekken 5 for half the price then what SC4 was. 3rd parties don't try hard enough.
When I look at games like Uncharted, Resistance 2, Gears of War, Little Big Planet, and then I look at a lot of other games, they just don't stack up.
With PS2, Dynasty Warriors was fresh at the time and no one saw more characters on screen to beat around when it was new. Final Fantasy X brought the dialogue of the games to life with actors. GTA finally went 3d and became like real life. There is not as big of leap between PS2/xbox to PS3/360. A lot og games still retain gameplay like PS2 with barely any expansion or none at all but with better graphics.
I will say that PS3 is king with new IP's though. Folklore, Uncharted, Resistance, Motorstorm, Infamous, Echochrome, Heavy Rain Mod Nation Racers The Last Guardian, Little Big Planet Valkyria Chronicles, Warhawk ( yes they made the PS1 game but the PS3 one doesn't resemble that game at all.) These are all great games. We might not be playing what wethought when we bought a PS3 but hey I am not complaining.
