in other inafune news, red ash got a publisher even tho it was clear the Kickstarter was gonna fail. as a mega man legends fan I should be more hyped for this, but I'll wait til I see a trailer that looks like something I should be excited for.

How's the PS2 backwards compatibility on 60 GB PS3s?

Rufus · « **Reply #15485 on:** July 30, 2015, 11:08:07 AM »

Perfect, because there's essentially a PS2 in there.

Purrp Skirrp · « **Reply #15486 on:** July 30, 2015, 11:11:33 AM »

Do PS2 games get any benefit visually besides output over HDMI?

Rufus · « **Reply #15487 on:** July 30, 2015, 11:22:33 AM »

Nothing besides upscaling, I believe.

demi · « **Reply #15488 on:** July 30, 2015, 11:24:30 AM »

With how fickle older PS3s can be (knock on wood a million times) - better off just buying a PS2 w/ Component imo. Component thankfully is not as pricey as a Gamecube component cable.

It's probably would have gotten to its goal, but only just barely. Doubt it will after this announcement, though.

It depends on the model (I have the 60 GB from the European launch). I've run into issues with some games and I prefer using my modded PS2 instead.

Hmm, thanks. That should look better than component.

60 GB PS3s are going for ~$100 on Amazon. A PS2 with official component cables, an extra controller, memory card, and component switcher (realized my TV only has one component input) cost around the same.

IDK, do those older PS3s really have a bad rep? 60 GB models have the actual PS2 hardware, not relying on software like the 80 GB models (AFAIK). It'd be nice having access to the PS3 library too.

Not sure if it's due to discrepancies in reporting, but looking at this Wiki list, the PAL 60 GB PS3s have more issues with games than the NTSC ones.

archnemesis · « **Reply #15493 on:** July 30, 2015, 04:33:59 PM »

Yes, that's correct. The launch US model comes with more PS2 hardware.

I could neither play Shadow Hearts or Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army on the later model.

huh, never knew that about the 80gb ps3s. that would explain why ps2 games looked like total shit on my old model. but yeah, go with a ps2 slim. much more reliable.

I assume that really means they want to see if they'll actually break even with the next one.

A bonus video I hadn't seen before from the earlier set, the Double Fine guy remade his one BioShock level in Doom, and now Romero's playing through it. More talk about modding/level design/old games vs. new/etc. LeBreton discusses how he didn't have any of the audio direction from BioShock to use so had to use keys to direct the player, etc. Romero notes how the pace is completely different and there's more "sights" that lead to nothing whereas in Doom it'd be some secret like life or ammo or a key or hidden pathway or switch that does something somewhere else in the level.

And he gets completely lost like ten times.

You can tell he really gets a kick out of how the guy tried to recreate the BioShock atmosphere with the more limited elements available in the Doom engine. Ponders about more games being "demade" like this. Which I think would be cool to see even as mod/fan levels.

Also, how Romero chose his house because it subconsciously reminded him of his Doom level design concepts.

Again ?

The Korean years didn't left a big mark, to be honest, it was mismanaged as usual and followed through the road to irrelevancy. An awesome irrelevancy, to be sure : KoF XIII is basically what 2D fighting game fans wanted design and artistic wise... and also clearly something that is dead as a parrot in today's market. SNK is the equivalent of the best typewriter company in the internet age.

But yeah I guess the new owners will at least give some funds for a new mainline KoF ? Honestly for all the terrible choices and fuck-ups fueled by delusions of grandeur the company made over the years , it's hard not to have admiration for how they soldiered on and maintained some of the artistic identity and quality (though it certainly have paled since 1998-2000, the zenith of the company fighting game wise.) despite all this.
