yea, with the PS2 still pumping out new and fresh games, it makes buying a PS3 less appealing than it already was.

As a big RPG fan, I'm really happy--Atlus is making some really great RPGs for the PS2.

The beast isn't going down without a fight.  Not bad for a 7 year old system :D

A lot of those games look like garbage, even for a PS2 game. Especially Persona 3. Persona 2 looks better than it artistically and graphically on a PS1 to PS2 ratio. That game wasn't so great either.   If I want Manhunt 2, I'll get it for the Wii. Those looking upon those screens are looking at the demise of the PS2.

*Red Steel comes to mind* 

Anyways, I'm not gonna lie, at the moment, Manhunt 2 looks exactly the same on both systems.

I don't think Star Ocean 4 will be on the PS2. No system has ever had more than one iteration (save for the PSP with two remakes), and the PS2 is more or less on it's way out for a brand new announced title from SE.

Add:

  • Ar Tonelico 2
  • Atelier iris 3
  • Wild Arms 5
  • Growlanser: Hritage of War - thanks to Atlus for even bringing it to the states!

I bet most of those games will score more than a Wii game. (ex. Odin Sphere). Looks can be decieving pal. Wii screen looks great. Oh wait..

Awesome, I didn't know Heritage of War was coming here. I'm loving Atlus right now. 

I'll add those games, though.

PS2 will be alive because of its user base on other regions outside US. Once the big guns came out (MGS4, FFXIII), then it will surely slowly die. Please fanboys, dont put here Wii > PS2 cmon.

I hope the japanese like Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, which should have been what came out first.

Im tired of these rereleases on games, its just devs being lazy and then adding some **** in and then charging another 50 bucks for it

Consoles are different. 

i own a PS2 and still love it, didnt own an Xbox last gen.

Plus if your gonna bring in Download content, its at most 10 bucks, and KHIIFM is probably gonna be 40 for a few extras.

Good list. I mainly just want Manhunt 2 though.

So it's good I'm getting a PS3 later in the year, and there are still a few PS2 games I wanna play.

Don't judge a game by its screenshots.

Not really saying a game sucks based on looks, but I can gurantee you Persona 3 will suck after I looked at some of the gameplay footage. Quote me. Critics will gripe about the lame level design and dated graphics. Graphics don't always connote a good video game, but graphics do mean something in rating a video game on a lot of game sites and magazines. And it should.

Ya, I did...sort of. Actually it's graphics could've probably been done on the SNES..they're that bad. Think I'm talking mad? Take a look at Super Mario RPG than a Disgaea game. I don't hate Atlus. I own both Disgaea and Disgaea 2. Bad voice acting and way below par graphics aside, they're still very good games. Two of the deepest SJRPGs I've ever played.

This just reaffirms how much I love Atlus, such a great company :). I just hope they get around to making the next main Shin Megami Tensei game soon, I need my fix of demon-recruiting goodness. Will likely buy Persona 3 and Odin Sphere in the meantime.

You keep hyping home... I cant wait till you have a game to play. Well one that you know is 5 hours +. I have to agree resistance to me was more fun the Gears, sadly I have only played both co-op threw story.

Sad to say one GC port has your entire systems libray crying in a corner...

P.S I'm a Hermit, just so you dont cough out the word sheep to soon.

 

*On topic

I have to say not one of those games looks bad to me, I personaly love hand drawn games like saga frontier 2, and breath of fire games. They seem to be just all aound better for the RPG genre. I havealso heard  great things about Odin sphere.

I dont think so,and the success of the Wii is goig to keep around much longer than anyone thought.
