![]() ![]() The modular weapon you carried could be fully customized, and various environmental puzzles were put into play. The game made use of traditional Resident Evil-style combat and exploration, but featured some great additions. We’re all familiar with the likes of Silent Hill, but we’d wager you may have missed out on Extermination.Ī full 3D survival horror, Extermination may have been plagued with some of the worst voice acting ever (which was actually slowed down or sped up to fit the lip syncing, with hilarious results), but the core gameplay was great. Survival horror is one of the defining genres of the early PlayStation era, and after Resident Evil‘s arrival on the PSOne thrust it into the mainstream, many clones emerged. It could also summon powerful deities.Īlthough nowhere near as polished or impressive as the God of War series, which would arrive around three years later, Rygar was a good action adventure, and one that flew well under the radar of many. Much like Kratos’ Blades of Chaos, this gave Rygar an impressive range of attacks, and the upgradable shield could grant new abilities. ![]() ![]() The weapon of choice was the Diskarmor, essentially a shield on a chain. As Rygar, players journeyed around the island of Argus engaging all sorts of mythological threats. Pre-dating the God of War series, Rygar was an update of the arcade and NES title, and included Devil May Cry-style play. If only a game based on a 70s movie would have excited the gaming crowd more. Add in mini-games for stealing car radios, robbing stores, and spreading your gang’s graffiti tag everywhere, and you’ve got a game that successfully captured the feel of the movie, while expanding on the original story, providing a deeper look at the Warriors themselves. The journey to that fateful meeting with Riffs leader, Cyrus, was handled by a brawler-style mechanic that let you take on the gang’s various rivals in hand-to-hand combat. Based on the 70s movie of the same name, The Warriors was a prequel of sorts to the events of the movie, depicting the origins of the titular street gang and looking at each larger-than-life character in more detail. CPU is the only thing that matters for PCSX2 and dolphin emulatorĮDIT: dolphin emulator (not old version), there is option somewhere in the setting that allow you to decrease emulated CPU speed for wii and gamecube games.This is another Rockstar outing, which started life on the PSP before being ported to the PS2. Hell, even my old GTX 460 was running games at 3x or 4x upscales. The only benefit is that you can run game at higher resolution, but even budget GPU (like GTX 1050) will not have any problem running any game at 4x resolution upscale (or even higher. Having faster GPU will not give you faster emulation. There is some few PS2 games that are very demanding (like shadow of colossus), but majority games can run on potato machineĪlso, it worth mention that video card is not important for emulation (specially for PS2 emulator). For example, final fantasy X is much easier to emulate than shadow of colossusĪlso, there is something called speed hacks in pcsx2 that can improve performanceīased on my experience, most wii games need faster CPU than most PS2 games. I thought I was totally going to need to buy a modded PS2 to play it.Īctually its easier to for PS2 than PS1 and I think playing PS2 games is pretty difficult plus they take a lot of space as well. And I can't wait until my downloaded Undub gets here. Maybe if I get a 4 GHz overclocked Intel someday and a 5870 I'll try making Let's Play of my favorite PS2 games. ![]() While the only problem I've had with Tales of the Abyss so far is this very minor, hardly noticeable sound quality lessening in some areas that sounds like an itty bitty percussion instrument that repeats, very very soft. Updating my Dophin fixed most of the problems with emulating Tales of Symphonia, but if I remember correctly, it still at least has a couple of sound skip instances in the intro video. It actually handled what I've played so far slightly better than the Gamecube, though that's up to debate for the future. From the way people talked, emulating the PS2 was practically impossible unless you have something overclocked to 4 or more GHz and a 5870.īut my non overclocked AMD Callisto and 1GB 4870 handle it just fine. ![]()
