    I've played ps2 for a good while in the mid 2010s. Because I kept seeing "Katamari Damacy" around the internet and such, I thought it was a game I had to have for a "definitive ps2 collection". But in reality, it didn't even reach a million copies sold and didn't make the "bestselling list", lol.

  • @Jedzelex
    @Jedzelex 2 года назад +5

    The saddest part is that currently, the PS4 and especially the PS5 lack the diversity of games that the PS2 had.
    These days, its all about mostly REMAKES, ports and rehashes. Because developers want to play it safe due to how expensive development of games has become.
    AA gaming is dead outside of what a few indies produce.

    • @dmcoub78
      @dmcoub78 2 года назад

      pretty much, high production costs means they need to make huge profits. A silly ps2 game could make 4 million and be profitable, which is why so many creative games got made.
