PS2 - Real info request.

[Alhanelem]

The PS2 has one simple main limitation: Memory. The PS2 has very, very little memory compared to even PCs around at the time of its release.

The PS2 doesn't need to have lots of support software running, so normally it doesn't need all that much memory. A console is designed with just enough of the resources they think the developers of games will need during its lifetime. Unfortunately, some people end up needing more than that and thus have to find more difficult and complicated ways to work around problems.

The second limitaiton is disk space. SE was mostly prepared for this, that is why so many newer areas are clones of older ones.

This is not a rumor. This is a simple fact of the extremely old hardware.

Reskins of old graphics do not work that way. Reskinning old content does not save disc space. It saves the staff time in creating something brand new. That's all.
