ps2 or xbox - Page 2

well i am a big fan of final fantasy and as far as i know, xbox will never have any ff titles on it. and BTW, the xbox's graphics are not SO much better. they are better of course (not by that much) but we all know that graphics do not make a game good. of course good graphics are great but whats the point if the control is poor, the gameplay sucks and various other parts of the game dont cut it? I know i'd rather have a game with slightly worse graphics if everything else is top notch, wouldn't you?

Playstation controllers ROCK!! I love em’, I use mine on my PC games too with Directpad pro drivers. All other controllers look HORRIBLE to me. Xbox controller looks like a cheap bloated mutations of a psx controller. I don’t know what gamecube was thinking at all, they should have stuck with the N64 controller!

That’s another thing I hate, every generation most companies make a whole new batch of crazy looking adapters, connectors and controllers, If you have a good thing going, Stick with it!! If Sony changes their controller/AV connectors with PS3, I think it will be a big mistake.There are adaptors that will run a PSX controller on an Xbox. Probably, If I got an Xbox I would buy a couple of those instead of buying any Xbox controllers.

Nobody has touched on quality yet. On the outside, I think both consoles look like utter crap!! As cheap as the PS2 looks on the outside, the inside is WORSE, it’s easy to tell Sony cut major corners to bost profits with PS2. Especially with drive assembly / laser assembly, and drive not being sealed from airflow and dust, motherboards that die if you drop the console 2 feet, pure junk through and through!

From what I can tell, the Xbox gives you far better quality under the hood, A sealed DVD drive like a PC, the fact that it has a Harddrive alone is far better value not to mention CPU power.

Hardware is nothing without software. The bottom line comes down to games. They are games consoles and unfortunately for Xbox, they fall short where it counts the most. The fact is, I just haven’t seen any Xbox games that make me want to run out and buy another console. A few games look good but just isn’t enough for me, for now!

The answer for the Xbox RPG question is simple, look who’s making the games, Playstation is an original Japanese console. Xbox is an American.

exactly, which is why most of the rpg's are from american companies. Too bad niether of them are the traditional rpg fight styles.

As n what you said about the xbox controller; would that make the psx one a cheap bloated mutations of the snes controller? Besides, the xbox s-controller is not cheap. I had if not too long after it was released and still nothing is wrong with it. I've had 2 psx/ps2 controllers break (as in button sticking or having to press down very VERY hard to use em) within the first 4 months. Same goes for my friends (not both though).

I still say xbox for multiplayer, ps2 for single player. Thats pretty much how it is at my home.

Carin'sboy, this is what I suggest you do. Scroll through a list of ps2 games and then a list of xbox games, after that, look at the future releases. Don't look at how many games there are, but rather look at which games you think or know are appealing to you. The size of the list does not matter much because you won't buy every game for the consoles (unless your filthy rich, in which case u should just buy both consoles).

Can a PS2 expert put some things down on what the ps2 can do after modding (other than play backups and imports, like emulators, vcd etc...). I haven't followed the PS2 scene much. The question was asked but it seems only the xbox part has been answered.

Its not FF7-2. Its called FF7 Advent I have the japanese trailer for it and basically all it is is FF7 with redone graphics. Still looks amazing though.

I still like the xbox smaller controller no matter what people say. I think it fits better and I love those triggers on the bottom.

Tyler!

Well that would be interesting. Is it a ps2 or ps1 game? I really loved FF7.

If you mean Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children, it's a 60 minutes CG movie that will be released at Summer 2004 in Japan.
here is more info.

I read in Game Informer magazine that Square Enix announced a ff7 re-release. The ff7: Advent Children was a bonus disk that they might include. They then stated that details of whether it will only play on a ps2, be a normal dvd, or also sold seperately were not given.

also wanted to state that if this was true then get a ps2 lol, cus ff7 is the best rpg i've ever played. I would definately get this game.
