Everybody is tooo busy playing PC games online....

I have a PS2 with network card, do you have Madden games ??? I 've been askin peeps for years now on PR if they wanna play football.

I'll play NCAA 2004. I switched over from Madden a couple of years ago...

Umm, if i had a network adaptor for my PS2 id get back to you :-p
Online gaming with the PS2 is free right? Unlike the highway robbery service called XBOX Live?

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've gone shopping and tossed a PS2 console into my shopping cart only to put it back by the time I get to the register. What happens is that I begin to think about how much I'm really gonna play the console compared to other aspects of my life. I had a Sega back in 1995 when I lived over in Italy, spent a week playing it non-stop, then it became the biggest dust collector I've ever owned.

Unfortunately, I'm just too hooked on the PC platform. I've played the same games on the console as I did on the PC and I've learned that the PC has quite a lot more variety insofar as toon control, other options, etc.

Until they lower the price of the consoles to a reasonable level (and I'm talking around $100 apiece) and the games, too (around $20 to $25 apiece), I'll keep playing on the PC platform.

P.S.

Besides, they don't make "City of Heroes" for the consoles, either...hehe

Rob has the right idea

Well, Rob caved and bought himself a PS2, an X-Box, and a PSP.

Digi, I'll let you know what games I've got when I get back to Indy after the break.

See, I owned both the Xbox and the PS2 and really found that if I preferred any of their online services.. it was Xboxs'. I mean sure I pay $5 a month for it. But it was structured and reliable. I found PS2 online service a bit shaky. All of the online capabilities relied on the software, and alot of the games that I played on the PS2 online service were strictly console developers, and it seemed they didn't really have a good grip on online Multiplay. I bought Tribes: Aerial Assault when it was released and It had no means of communication. I mean it came out after Socom and still didn't have mic controls or keyboard controls. That was a major downer for me. Socom itself was nice except that it seemed to me their servers were kinda slow and the maps were bugged like a gnat infested kitchen. But lets face it.. Nothing beats PC online Multiplay. PC developers have been writing code for online multiplay when we were still playing Super Mario World on our SNES console. So overall, I chose my PC

i just got a slim if anyone wants to play hit me up on aim i only have NFS hot pursuit though : ) anyway Rob you in indy then? i live in noblesville you wanna get together for a lanparty sometime i'd be fun....my aim is ncgcfirefox..if u wanna

I have to agree with PC > Others (in terms of multiplayer). I don't play many multiplayer games, I've really only played Monster Hunter on PS2, which was fun for a while, and Halo 2 for Xbox, also fun for a while, and World of Warcraft for PC, which I played for longer than the other two. Really, they all have pro's and con's. PS2 is free, but worse quality (From my limited experience). Xbox cost money, but higher quality (once again, I've only had limited experience). And PC means playing a game with a keyboard, which is somewhat hard for me to get used to after so many years of controlers in my hands... But hey, thats just me.

A big hello to Wazoobi, didn't see you come in. Look around, watch MT for the in's and out's of PS gaming, and when we find out something interesting about the PS3, it'll be posted in this forum.

I only ever played Socom II online; it was great but the other online games for PS2 kind of stink and/or no one gets on. I wish Sony had made a centralized system like Xbox Live.

I found more people online on PS2 when I was beta testing than actually playing a finished game. Project: Snowblind and Killone were fun.

The problem with playing online with the PS2 is the fact that early/middle adopters of the system don't have the built-in networking capability. I personally never sprang for a Network Adapter due to lack of interesting games to play and lack of interest in playing online on the console.

Capcom are closing the servers for the online features of Resident Evil Outbreak. Pity, eh?
