    I got a PS2 just before X-Mas and have nearly completed the Star Wars library. My question is what's coming next for PS2? In the new issue of Insider, LucasArts employees hint at some new projects. I was wondering if anyone had heard any rumors.

    Thanks.

    Well, I haven't heard a thing about anything new for the PS2; what hasn't been released yet (KOTOR and SWG) is going to the Xbox, PC, and GC. :(

    I'd love it if they'd make a decent Classic Trilogy based flight sim or Rogue Squadron-like shooter instead of peddling more Prequel crap.

    I'm not sure, either. It appears Galaxies is the biggest Star Wars product for the year in terms of hype and investment (Although KOTOR is higher on my list), and I have no clue what the future holds.

    Outside of Star Wars (is there such a world :D), I am personally anticipating Devil May Cry 2, which hits at the end of January.

    >>>Well, I haven't heard a thing about anything new for the PS2; what hasn't been released yet (KOTOR and SWG) is going to the Xbox, PC, and GC.<<<

    Huh?

    KOTOR = Xbox & PC
    SWG = PC, Xbox and the PS2

    The Gamecube isn't getting either of these titles. Why would you even think that Galaxies was going to the Cube? They have the worse online strategy of the three. Online gaming and the Cube is kind of a joke right now.

    Yeah, I (I'm gonna get pounced on for saying this) think that PS2 is the best of the 3 consoles (GC and X-Box being the other two).

    Gamecube: Great graphics, small, not a lot of good games. The lack of good games is what disappointed me.

    X-Box: Good graphics, quite a few good games, Massive console, bulky controls (hard for a small person to hold).

    PS2: I don't see a problem with the graphics at all, I think they're great (not as good as the GC though), I think the control pad is great, and most of the games are great.

    Why do so many people dis the PS2 here? In my area, the majority of teenagers think PS2 is the best, I'm surprised to say that very, very few poeple own a Gamecube.

    Seems the guy has never played FFX, or the Grand Thef Autos, or Devil May Cry and some of the fine first and second gen PS2 games that've come out. Seems to me this board is full of rabid Xbox aficionados....








    ...that or really desperate Microsoft salespersons pitching their product. ;)

    Why do we even care what others think about the console/consoles we own? I refrained from buying a PS2 initially, strictly because nothing in the launch lineup caught my eye. I didn't care that Sony undercut the initial shipments, didn't care about anything, other than I didn't want it at the time. Time passed, and the Gamecube and Xbox were announced. Halo caught my eye, and nothing else......initially. MGS2 brought me close to getting a PS2, but then I saw it announced for Xbox (long before Substance was). I decided that the Xbox would be mine. I am more than happy with the Xbox. I own 8 games:

    NHL2K3
    Halo
    JSRF
    Fuzion Frenzy
    FIFA World Cup 2002
    Splinter Cell
    Madden 2003
    NCAA 2003

    Around September, though, I decided that I would pick up a PS2. My wife likes to play many of the platformer games that are of the goofy nature, Jak & Daxter-esque. She also likes Scooby Doo games, and the Hot Shots Golf series. I also like to play the GTA games (Although I don't think they're as godly as they get credit for). I also had to own my favorite PS2 title, Devil May Cry.

    Just buy the console or consoles that you want, and don't worry about going around spouting off fanboy rhetoric about "M$ is a huge company that doesn't care about anything but $", or "Sony suxx", just live with your own purchase.

    (Sorry for the long post :D)

    umm, to get back on topic..sorta..

    I've heard nothing, but i think a lightsabre dueling game sort of like bushido blade or mortal kombat(with lightsabres) would be great!!! That is all.

    Yes, the Xbox is such a massive console. How will I ever be able to fit it into my house? :p

    Funny pic. [face_laugh]

    I've actually used an X-Box once, over a year ago, at a family friend's house. I utterly DESPISE the controller. THAT is way too big.

    The common complaint! I present to you, the 'S' Controller:

    It's the controler that comes with the Xbox bundle, I myself prefer the normal Xbox controler however.

    And Baldy Bigger=Better ;)

    Each controller has its strengths and weaknesses for me. I have no problem with the size of either. I love the Dreamcast controller, and I see the Xbox one as a similar design. When I play Madden and NCAA football, I always use the standard controller. For every other game, I use the 'S' Controller. It's a personal taste thing, IMO.
