Game news The PS2 at the center of a debate: what’s the best title that never had the right to port to newer consoles?

The PS2, the best-selling console of all time

When not playing, gamers like to discuss video games on social media or forums. At reset era

, Today’s hot topic is titles released on PlayStation 2 that have never been ported to other newer media. What makes it more complicated to play them without going through the emulation. It must be said that the question is interesting since in recent years we have been entitled to many ports and even remakes of the flagship titles of this cult console.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, Silent Hill HD Collection… There was plenty to do, even if the quality of these remasters didn’t always live up to the original work. The four compilations above are good examples because when they offer HD graphics, certain artistic choices sometimes betray the vision of the original developers. Beyond these remasters, Some of its major titles were even entitled to real remakes

like Shadow of the Colossus on PS4, which was also entitled to a remaster on PS3.

The hidden gems of the PS2

Past all the big PS2 names that are readily available these days, One thing is for sure, Reset Era users cannot agree. Among the seven pages of news that make up the topic, we can still spot some trends. When it comes to Japanese role-playing games, names like the Shadow Hearts series, Xenosaga Episode, Suikoden or Valkyrie Profile often come up. Certain simulation series, whether automotive or aerial, are cited regularly, such as Ace Combat, Gran Turismo, Burnout, or Ridge Racer. Sports games are also gaining a place in the debate, with titles such as NBA Street or NFL Street, which appeal primarily to American audiences.

But in the crowd Some unique console experiences also stand out. We’re thinking in particular of God Hand, a completely insane beat’em-up developed by Clover Studios, to which we owe Viewtiful Joe and Okami before we became Platinum Games today. Ditto for Way of the Samurai, a sort of samurai life sim produced by Spike, to whom we have to thank Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi. Finally we can end with a quote from Digital Devil Saga, an episode of the Shin Megami Tensei series with an oppressive and unique atmosphere. You will understand, however The PS2 still has plenty of nuggets in store and gamers haven’t finished debating to find the one that most deserves to be carried Today. It’s up to you to take this on and discuss it in the comments.
