Why PlayStation 2

[Teraniku]

Translation of OP: I'm trying to convince SE to put out the new Expansion Pack for PS2 and here's why.

Counter Argument for PS2: Freezing and crashes during Cutscenes, Since there will be new Mission / Story for the expansion, this is the main reason to switch to, imo, better hardware.

Please understand Teraniku, that given that the expansion is coming out on PS2 in Japan, there will be no increase in performance of the game even though (at the moment) the PS2 expansion isn't coming out in the US.

The PS2 is still going in Japan.

i should also like to point out. That they wish to Phase out the PS2 so that they can. Update the graphics and physics. PS2s are seriously dated if. I play with max settings on the PC and could care less about pixel problems. In some cases the plants are brightly colored in the night time. If people would jump off the PS2 wagon then there would be a much better game in place. Alas i fear we have to suffer at the hands of retro gamers.

Let us move into the future and get back on top. I been playing alot of years since NA launch i have sunk thousands of dollars into this game with buying boxes. Sending in certified letters to get a hacked account unlocked. With that said I am a giant fan of this game. I hope for bigger and better things in the future. Tho as long as we have to deal with dated tech then we will see this game die. Nothing against PS2 players let your ps2 go into the retirement villa For old Great Gaming systems. They need a break.

Can't really say for sure that the non-PS2 editions will not be getting any new tweaks in the first disk expansion in several years. The last two had minor tweaks to them, it's possible that trend may continue. Also remember they've already got non-PS2 UI tweaks and newer graphic elements in the works already. So, they've obviously already started showing an interest in non-PS2 tweaks. We could actually receive some much needed improvements in that new box in 2013....they can cram around 4GB worth of new data on a DVD if they wanted (8GB if dual layer).

Not your opinion, fact!

Further proved with the upcoming UI adjustments, EP etc...

when you first install POL on the PC it plays that video with sound. on the playstation ihe song plays every time and boot up which is kinda nice i like it. Wish the PC would play that everytime i launch the game too. You need to have the POL disk tho when the game was first made. It doenst work with the downloaded vista POL viewer. Check it out on youtube somebody posted it.


IF they did w ant to retire the ps2 from this game which i dont see why they would need too. They should at least make a HD remake for the ps3. Most ppl who have ps2 have a ps3 now. Not as expensive anymore

The PC icon looks way better too me. Anyone else? Also you should post a side by side of a character model on PS2 vs. PC 2048x2048. I do agree about the weird patterns in the sky. They have always bothered me but not enough to even consider dealing with the myriad shortcomings of the PS2.

i second this. yeah, it looks like i'm in tron when i stare at the sky in CoP areas, but overall, the PC version (when you fiddle around with the resolution settings) is far more pleasant to my eyes.

and yes, i played on my ps2 from '05 to '09.

If Se would have done this right and shut ps2 in all regions i think none of us would be here trying to get a version but they didnt , they gave the Jp the ps2 the new expansion and Na the finger ....

If you're talking about the intro video...it's a toggled option on the PC.
