with every passing year, i get a little more convinced that we should've never left the ps2 behind as an industry and that if we're to ever solve our budgeting and scope problems, we should go back to making games for it for good and never look back
the people look enough like people on there
we got pretty good at making things look nice on there by the end
it's perfectly capable of rendering things stylishly and you can even throw in halfway decent lipsync or whatever if you wanna get fancy
so few games actually justify their presence on contemporary hardware in terms of actual gameplay design goals and not just, "we want the most shaders and you can't get the most shaders on older hardware"
i dunno
have you seen a latter day ps2 game run through a reputable upscaler on a 4k display?
still looks pretty snazzy, if you ask me
sony even dropped the formal requirement to apply for a system license to publish on there towards the end, if i'm not mistaken
i'm just saying
the ps2 is a pretty good system and it could be even gooder if we picked up where we left off
