or is there absolutley no difference. Before someone tries to explain and says, take a look at a pixel and its smoother or something, please there is no difference. Lets just wait for GOW3 for PS3.

Bill Nye6212d ago

You can only tell when it does the closeups. It's just more crisp. But, realistically, what did you expect? It's PS2.

gta_cb6211d ago

yeh i couldnt see ANY difference EXCEPT when they zoomed into that mans face, even then hardly any difference.

weekapaugh6212d ago

yeah, i didn't see much diff, and when there was it was subtle.

Booneral6212d ago

Well I was actually amazed to see how this game looked great on standard display, I was thinking on getting a component cable for PS2 but looks like it doesn't get much better.

I am enjoying God of War II on a SD anyways. Great game, truly shows off what PS2 is capable of. It's also the first game that didn't look ugly to me after next-gen games.

JohnCarpenter6211d ago

Well it's the same number of polygons and the same textures i guess, it can't look much better. But the PS2 offers rumble.

CrazzyMan6211d ago

HD quality possible on ps2 and ps3.

the game a little smother, but well not really big difference. =]
maybe it`s better to compare on 32" TV. :)

Both requels over 2 and 3? Clowns. Those are two of the most boring games I've ever played.

Snookies12160d ago

GoW 3 was amazing, but I personally hated just one thing. (This is on me alone, because I was dumb, lol.) I hated that you couldn't skip cutscenes on repeat playthroughs. I had to go back through the game a third time because I missed one trophy accidentally on my way to the platinum... The cutscenes were great the first go round, even the second... But the third was pretty agonizing.

Haven't played Ragnarok, but I still think GoW 4 is a wonderful game in its own right. Not sure how I would stack them up against each other honestly.

Monstieur160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

I don't consider the reboot part of the original series. The original series were high-skill games with combos and rewards for mixing things up.

solideagle159d ago

lol square, square and triangle is the only combo you needed. I have played all of them on the hardest difficulties...

Golfcoachh160d ago

Maybe I’m just old school but I just couldn’t get into the last two. Maybe it’s the slower action and more story telling but the original trilogy was by far my favorite.

Crows90160d ago

It's not that youre old school. They're different genres

JL2930159d ago (Edited 159d ago )

Me either, at all. It's just yap yap yap. They try to be a RPG's instead of being action games like they used to be.

Fluke_Skywalker159d ago

I'd put the two psp games over 3 in terms of story any day. But not over 2.

TheEnigma313160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

My favorite was part 2 and I think Ragnarok is better that 2018.

Shane Kim160d ago

The newer games are better imo.

ravens52160d ago

There is no worst. Except for Ascension, only cause I didn't play it lol. They are all masterpieces. 1,2,3, 2018 and Ragnarok. 1 of, if not the greatest video game franchise...besides MetalGear.

Snookies12160d ago

Oh wow, I actually forgot that Ascension even existed... I never played it either.

Crows90160d ago

I like ascension. It was different and some interesting combat additions.

darthv72160d ago

If you didnt play it, how could you call it the worst? Its not as bad as the media portrayed it. Honestly the worst are those flash games. they arent even considered true GoW games but in name only. At least Ascension is a real GoW game.

ravens52159d ago

Not saying it's a terrible game. Just mean it's at the bottom of my list. I played a little bit of it. Jus to me, compared to the other main games, it's last.

Fluke_Skywalker159d ago

Ascension is the only GOW game I never finished. Hated it.

Inverno160d ago

Can't agree, older games do so much more than the last two. More weapons, magic abilities, enemies are more varied, level design is also more aesthetically pleasing, and agree with those who say that they shouldn't have removed jumping. Was a time I'd agree, but those old games are so so much better, that they really should've looked into bringing into the reboot/sequels.

Crows90160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

If a game is good then a game is good. Doesn't matter what came before or what comes after.

Inverno160d ago

Of course it matters. If not for what what came before there wouldn't be an after. And if something is great before then you strive to make it just as good if not better, after. I personally don't think there's a fair way to judge the new with the old because the newer games are still essentially a reboot, and went a way different direction. But I still believe the old games did it better. I'm probably bias though since I've been going back to old games and have been finding that they lack all the annoying aspects that devs have shoehorned into new games to fluff out game time.

Crows90159d ago

@Inverno

Im not talking about the passage of time here. Im talking about individual pieces of software. If a game is good then it is good. Thats not a controversial statement. You can compare good with good...sure. But you still end up with good. Now if there is a bad game in the mix and you compare you do end up with some differentials between them...makes sense to compare and see where it went wrong.

But theyre different genres and styles which were individually executed very well.

And no. The new games are not a reboot. Theyre a new direction but simply a continuation.
Tomb raider was a reboot.

Inverno159d ago

The new games are definitely a reboot, and a continuation, it can be both which it is. And a good game might be good, but my point is that if there are things done better before it then there's plenty of room for critiquing and trying to make whatever comes after better rather than just good.

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow190d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga189d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183189d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB189d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic189d ago (Edited 189d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo189d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic189d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

MadLad505d ago

I don't know about 20, but I know Dragon Quest VIII, FFXII, and Persona 3 are my top 3.

No particular order. Not a huge JRPG guy, but these hit it home for me.

Flawlessmic504d ago

Fairly solid list, would only change a few, I'd put onimusha in there, ico, personally would have vice city.

Then again I'd double up on some series dmc 1, all 3 gtas, both metal gears, all 3 jaks.

Ps2 was just crazily stacked really, every time I think back on it, those were the good days of gaming.

sagapo504d ago

Was thinking the same about Vice City. But yeah, solid list and great era of games!

shinoff2183504d ago

I still think ps1 was better game wise, but im sure thats an age thing depends on what you grew up with to an extent. I feel san andreas is to this day the best gta made. None compare 5 is close imo but just doesnt best it
