Played the psp version so many times

Great game, did it twice for jedi and sith endings,you should be proud of yourself

great job, and thank you 😉

how big was your team ?

It's interesting that back then the gap between console generations were so huge that you needed a dedicated team, including a concept artist for a cross-gen title. These days the last gen version doesn't look all that different from the current gen versions, they're just the same game at a different resolution and graphical settings.

Sounds like tru

I'm his editor, can confirm this is true

Seems obvious

I refuse to believe it's true.

Nobody show him the Australia episode. The scars from the Emu Wars are bad enough for any Australian.

Someone, at some point, will buy the IP off Embracer, surely.

@@TheKaos1988Hopefully.

I would've been more bummed if it had been a follow-up to Mankind Divided but with Adam's voice-actor saying that wasn't the case i'm not too bummed.

*Lip Smack* I miss Deus Ex. Mankind Divided was what, 2016? The series has been on death's door for nearly a decade. And due to Embracer's fiasco, likely no one owns the rights to the IP.

@TheKaos1988 the copium is real

Look up in the comments, two guys from the PS2 team just commented.

You guys did an amazing job, i love the psp version, i loved the time when a game had many different ports.

Thank you bubblegumnipples

Psp not having second analog really hurt it though imo

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 It definitely did hurt it. Had it been given a second analogue stick, I think the PSP would have been a lot better.

@chiarosuburekeni9325 Kid named PSVita:

I really wish we could still get games like the force unleashed

Not only does the PSP version have the most content, it even has online multiplayer which I didn't even know about until a few days ago.

Well that's because at the time, the corporate suits weren't obsessed with minimalism and actually let the artists make y'know... art.

Some composers still do that though. They never lost the MOTIVATION to make amazing soundtracks in games.

*The Medal of Honor Allied Assault soundtrack echoing in my head*😢 How it hurts to remember

Primal for the PS2... I remember the band, 16volt, did a commentary video on how they made the music for the game, how they wanted to ensure every level had fight music that purposely and perfectly fit it.

I was going to try being fair and note that even the Bond franchise toyed with the supernatural in Live and Let Die, but having a ghost outright move stuff around crosses into "okay yeah what the hell" territory.

Man, I'd love to see WB go bankrupt, just so others can get the rights to all of the games they own that they do shit eith

@@laladoopsy Even if WB went bankrupt, it would just be some other giant company buying all their IP in bulk... :/ A company that itself already owned way more IP than it bothers to use.

Copyright is cancer. If they haven't touched the IP for 10yr it should be free game to mess with.

That game was so interesting when it came out. I remember reading about it in PC gamer magazine. I wish gaming was more supportive about people wanting to bring back certain unused old IP's..

@@WulvenWanderer "copyright is cancer" is not only hilariously stupid, but its only ever said by people who would never actually have the talent to create anything because IF they did they're either stupid or a liar. More than likely a liar because they would go after every penny they could get for something they made.

That and the PS1. Love it.

The ps1 starting up is mine lol so good.

Confirmed info

It’s like a mystical gong that sends you back in time to when we all worried less lol. 😏💭

Mine is PS1, but PS2 is pretty close too.

Tommy as in Tommy "my mother's very proud" Tallarico?

@@HugoRBMarques *sigh* Yup...

HL in PS2 has quick saves, but this guy who made this video is a dump

For me, it was the "Follow Baronness Dumas while she window shops without being spotted or getting too far away."

@rosskwolfe Ah yes, the tailing missions...

Because they're Capco- oh wait wrong devs (cough Konami)

It would really be a slam dunk for them, but they insist on pvp competitive multiplayer games that fizzle out after a few months. I just don’t get it.

ahh the days of just getting home popping the disc in and just being able to play it.

​@@daltongarrett7117So just like pc with disc rom then.

@@Moji55a really, I'm pretty sure those have to install onto my pc also... so not at all like that. I'm talking about the days of just popping a disc in and playing it, Xbox and PC and PlayStation all have an install period before you can play the games. switch doesn't so Nintendo has escaped this, though they dont do discs they use a cartridge.

@@daltongarrett7117 As someone who still regularly plays disk based PC games, I can confirm that you still have to install them first -and then spend a bunch of time troubleshooting it as the game wasn't designed for modern PCs-

@@scottthewaterwarrior thats exactly what I remember having to do. fun times, fun times.

NOLF... hehehehehe... NOLF... hehe... NOLF

NOLF is all about the 1960s spy adventure aesthetic. Everything from clothing to dialogue to characters to the overall plot is 110% sixties and it's purposefully over the top. The PS2 port's soundtrack is just some generic jazzy elevator music. It's not technically incompetent, but nothing about it says "1960s spy adventure".

And the following brief dark transition that decides whether you're good or you're f*cked

Direct line to my core memories.

As a kid that intro sounded like the promise of a bright future. The sound of exciting things to come and new worlds to explore. As an adult it's the sound of nostalgia. The sound of a simpler, carefree time with zero responsibilities and a home to return to.

@CyanRooper Ok doomer bro damn, we heard you the first time

That bussy though

There was single player? Or was it just playing against bots on all the multiplayer maps?

@@McGeezle In Q3R? It was a botmatch with bits of lore. Basically, at the start of some matches/tiers the Vadrigar shittalks to you, watching your progress at the Arenas.

My videogame store literally gave away a bunch of promo copies on ps2 under the assumption they were demo discs 😬 I would've felt cheated if I'd shelled out my own money on it but as a freebie it was decent enough

the max payne 2 port works a little better on graphics and framerate.

Extra content was because Sony required developers to add extra content on all ports to the psp if they wanted to port it, like Disgaea, Soul Caibuer, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Ultimate Alliance/2, Xmen Legends 2, Tekken, and etc

I have only ever experienced half life 1 this way

Ubisoft made banger after banger nonstop throughout the 2000’s. It’s tragic how far they’ve fallen… total shit company with shit games.

Yup Splinter Cell games in PS2 we're nice but XBOX version had bigger level design and PC graphics so XBOX version was better in all games.

disagree next-gen version was good too.

The issue I have now is the same issue I had at the time - it ran at literally 15fps most the time, including drops to single digits on all platforms. PCs at the time couldnt hold a stable 30 without absolute monster hardware @@jacksonteller3973

All those games ran on Unreal engine 1, bro. Perhaps a later version of it, but definitely still 1. I can believe they messed with it a bit, and it was its own thing on PS2, but all those titles are U1 based. Unreal Engine 2 was used for Unreal Championship and 2003/4.

@@zebubble2084 Kid no offense, but I'm going to believe the people who developed these games and engines over randos on the internet who aren't even as familiar with the difference between the game engines being discussed as I am. And they say Deus Ex was the first unreal 2 engine game ever released. Probably because Epic megagames was still going by Epic megagames at the time, and a wholly owned subsidary of GT interactive, a company with by the way no longer exists at all, and was notorious for forcing developers to delay releases.

@@aaronbosen6743 Deus Ex was made with Unreal Engine 1 (Unreal Engine 1 Build 400-436), Invisible War was the one using Unreal Engine 2 (Unreal Engine 2 build 777), so no backports, where did you get that information?

@@aaronbosen6743 The original Deus Ex is absolutely not Unreal Engine 2 (take it from someone who had to work with UE1 modding tools for years), invisible war was though (or more accurately a mutated abomination of Unreal Engine 2). The PS2 version of Deus Ex actually has some partial UE2 features built in though (UE2 skeletal animation vs UE1 vertex animations, the addition of static meshes) which might be what you're getting confused

Okay, idiot.@@aaronbosen6743

The console seemed mediocre is comparison to the GC.

I miss you 😘

PS2 had the best game selection of all time easily.

It still exists

You could always plug it in again, what's stopping you?

but in PS2 the main RAM could be used as VRAM 😏

@@mandibiedermann2246 True, but it was still just 32 megabyte.

@@stevekramerf242 32 mb is enough

It’s from a game called mullet mad jack!

Much obliged sir! Cheers from Canada!

They're all the same region aswell?

Could you link that community patch? It sounds really interesting, couldn't find much googling myself

RE4 on PS2 is better than GC

Did the game ever tell the player about this?

@@Sarahm2261 If the player does test course A - yes.

@@4i4kov guess gmanlives does no tutorials.

@@Sarahm2261 Well I don't know how the other version of Double Agent does it, but Chaos Theory's tutorials were a bunch of videos you had to go out of your way to watch.

Even better is how the Xbox version is playable on the Series X. Playing any Splinter Cell on PlayStation is a bit sacrilegious.

@@DP12321 I got myself a Series S for playing enhanced backwards compatible games from OG and 360 era. I had a lot of fun doing so. Splinter Cells with every single feature working and looking correctly was dream come true.

@@DP12321 isn't the first one and Pandora Tomorrow pretty much the same between platforms? I believe Chaos Theory is the first one where PS2 is clearly inferior.

@@Maryanchyk There's a pretty big difference in graphics and even level design. Without the hard drive, even the first game had to split the levels up and add more load screens.

Yeah, they last gen versions of The Force Unleashed is pretty much the superior port, like the last gen and PC ports of Ratatouille

Serves him right. Using an editor for this basic videos to edit is so lazy.

That 4MB was embedded on the GS itself. Besides that there always was 32MB RDRAM with a fairly large amount of bandwidth

Basically the entirety of the PS2 architecture was designed in a way that it utilized parallelism a lot more than ever seen before. The "GPU" was split into several Units, most notably the 2 Vector Units it had, which were connected to the main system bus that had huge bandwith, unseen at the time iirc. The idea Sony had with this console was to instead of the traditional way of just dumping everything u need into memory and then go from there, you had to stream in data to all compenents in the PS2 to make them work effectivly - that's what the insane bandwith is for. The VRAM so to speak was just to have a very small buffer like L1 cache to access data from but it mostly relied on clever data streaming. The effects and graphical quality some could have achieved with this kinda technology are insane as seen from a techdemo when the PS2 was announced and showcased, Sony just didn't provide the necessary libraries at launch and iirc deeper into the launch of the PS2 so devs had to write their own libraries to make things work plus getting used to the rather unusual architecture of the console. It deviated a lot from PCs and thats where the Xbox had it's advantage basically being a PC made into a console. Ultimately when there were crossplattform releases almost always the PS2 version was way worse due to devs often not having the time needed to rearange the code to make it work properly with the ps2 or lacking the info to do so in the first place. PS2 exclusives however look stunning and were at the time some of the best looking games, like if you take a look at DMC1 on the ps2 and keep in mind that the game is from 2001, how many games looked that well? Barely any blocky models, decent res textures for the time and that at a silky smooth framerate. But if one is interested into the architecture in depth I can recommend the video from the modern vintage gamer where he explains it.

Same with the Dreamcast but the Dreamcast version was way better obviously.

​@@krono5elSoldier of Fortune is universally regarded as one of the worst games on the platform, it's a terrible (DC) port

@@eponymous7910 def not as good as pc but not as bad as ps2 : P

@@eponymous7910 The PS2 version should win by default. No matter how bad the performance or visuals are, having a second analog stick means it wins by default.

I bought DMC2 full-price on release day if it makes you feel any better. 💀

What's the drama?

@@ChaseMC215 Pandora Tomorrow having compatibility issues with any card released after Geforce 4(flickering shadows and so forth). It was never patched. Oddly the PS3 version Splinter Cell Trilogy reused all the PC version textures. Double Agent PC version not being supported by then recently released DX10 cards(it went unsupported for years, heck they never patched this based on the terrible reviews on STEAM page).

this guy is a dump, he did not play any game

@@mandibiedermann2246 This is the sort of mistake you can only really make _playing_ the game and missing it. If he’d just looked his info up online the alternate ending is incredibly easy to find.

No 360? 🤔 Why, because the focus on online gaming and dlc was the beginning of the end?

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 yep, I fucking loved the 360 but it was the beginning of the end and now the industry is fucked.

If you seriously believe that then you're only focusing on modern AAA titles & completely ignoring the great games still being released.

nah

And early seven gen

its actually at 33:20

It's because it only outputs 480i which doesn't look very good on screens that are not using the ray gun.

I understand 480i and upscaling vs crt etc. I’m not talking about that. It’s an issue with a specific artifact pattern on certain games that results in a diagonal double pixel staircase effect that creates kinda a double image it can’t be explained. Also dithering on certain games. No One Lives Forever has both these issues along with Socom games for example. I’m just wondering if it’s only my setup that has this happening. I totally understand how upscaling 480i has worse results than 240p or 480p etc. On this video it kinda looks like the artifacts are there I don’t know about dithering but I’m watching it on an iPhone so kinda hard to tell.
