Game of the 6th Gen (PS2 era)
-
I've never understood Rez. Nice to look at but the aurally generated stuff never really wowed me. Maybe because I'm not that much of a music person. Or I'm a pleb. Child of Eden confused me in the same way. -
Total Annihilation doesn't qualify (too early at 1997). Great game, maybe I'm just showing a preference for graphics over strategy (or maybe just because I payed Single Player) in saying this, but I preferred it to StarCraft, which I just didn't get on with.GooberTheHat wrote:
Some ideas of mine, no order yet, but:
MSR
Crazy Taxi
Jet Set Radio
Powerstone 2
Civ III
GTA III
KOTOR
Half Life 2
Total Annihilation
Battlefield 2
Dungeon Keeper
Mech Commander
Deus Ex
I'm not sure if all of those qualify.
(Note: I'm basing the assumption that StartCraft was more strategic because of it's popularity in e-sports rather than any knowledge to the contrary). -
But dungeon keeper 2 is better anyway. 1999 fuckazzz

A fine month.

Rez should really be listed under DC... -
Which was just a direct port of the DC original.

Does it really matter

That's rather depressing.

Thank the lord someone else appreciates the GC updates of 1080 and Waverace. I thought they were splendid.
That DC lineup is excellent. I agonised over Daytona myself. Sega Rally 2 is quite underrated.
Does anyone know of PD Orta plays OK in a 360? One of the few Oldbox games I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on.
Fantavision is an interesting choice.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
Orta has an unfixed fault on 360 that prevents play past the third stage I believe, which has always out me off trying it.

The PS2 version runs smoother and has better sounds. Only the transition effects are better on DC.Yossarian wrote:Rez should really be listed under DC..."..the pseudo-Left new style.." -

GameCube was the first time I got to experience either 1080 or Wave Race at home, as opposed to quick goes on some else's N64, so I loved both. I really enjoyed Sega Rally 2, especially the non-letterboxed Jap version. It does seem a forgotten game, the early DC line up over here was full of good stuff so maybe it was overlooked for the other games on offer (I know Power Stone and Soul Calibur took up most of my time at first).
Fantavision, I just got into it and enjoyed the experience. -
I've the PAL version of Sega Rally 2 but I play it using the VGA cable and that addresses the reported frame rate issues and the borders.Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009.

Dreamcast = VGA cable though. I have both versions and can't say I notice much difference. (But Rez via VGA is lovely)Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
Guess what,
It doesn't matter. You guys all like Rez. -
Fuck that.
I trialled the HD version of Radiant Silvergun and they managed to make it look like a freeware Euroshmup.
……how much is it I wonder?Holding the wrong end of the stick since 2009. -
Rez HD is actually brilliant, just a shame it's not on PC for mental screen resolution.
