Good Games Stuck On PS2

[@velosiped135]

The PS2 was the highpoint in game developer originality and creativity.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Agreed!

[@ms.pirate]

Based 🍷🗿

[@WarlockX4]

This right here. That whole generation. They couldn't fall back or rely on "patching" the game later on. It was complete before being sold.

[@NetBattler]

And one more good thing about ps2 games. NO PAID DLC.

[@Alzenryo]

So true

[@nikoleigraham8747]

I really like that you display the name of the game on the banner in the top right corner. This way I know what game I am looking at. Thank you.

[@johnnybonglips4839]

Ps2 was a console I'm still collecting for it. There's so many hidden gems. Playing Shadow hearts covenant now. Love your lists. Keep up the good work 👍

[@benmcreynolds8581]

I love the range of creativity, risk's they took on odd concepts, yet a sorta simplicity that focuses directly on gameplay mechanics & modes. This era- as well as the PS3/360 era, is such a great era in gaming. I hope we can utilize our current capabilities yet get in touch with those aspects that made the PS2/360 era's so good & enjoyable. It should show us that it's not just about GRAPHICS/Reflections. No. If you can create satisfying movement, physics effects, particle effects, responsive parts of the environment, a detailed environment that makes you want to explore it, engage it, etc. That stuff is so important. Not just "who can make the largest game world, or game with the best Graphics." Art style, design, vibe, aesthetic is so important that you don't need top notch graphics to greatly appreciate and enjoy playing that game. That's why we are seeing such a resurgence of players who have gone back to playing older games because they realize the aspects of gaming that they care about and are unhappy with most modern games. So hopefully gaming will enter a new era. That mixes in aspects of the older era's.

[@markmessi9020]

We still get all of that, but from indie developers. AAA titles will never give you this kind of experience ever again. But Indie games? Go play any indie game and it's sure to give you a unique experience, even today

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Yeah i've said so many times that we peaked with late PS2 era and early 360 era. Some time around the mid point of the PS3/360 era things went to shit, rapidly. Think of how many incredible games the PS2 had alone... it boggles the mind. Industry changing games, genre DEFINING games. Innovation and passion are dead, DLC and patch it later are alive and well.

Samurai Western is truly a hidden gem. I was blown away when I first played this one. I slept on this one, Godhand and Blood Will Tell back in the day. Still finding amazing games after all these years.

[@gamedotfilm3929]

Iv'e been looking for a physical copy and no luck :( gonna keep hunting bc it looks so dope

[@Kousaburo]

I wanted to get God Hand just because it was from Clover after they made Okami. Alas, I was poor.

[@ms.pirate]

I got blood will tell mostly because its dororo (one of my favorite mangas). Overall though, its fun and pretty! I might get samurai western, since samurai games are kinda cool

[@ms.pirate]

​@@Kousaburo I need to get god hand too! It looks interesting and I didn't know it was by clover

[@douglassmith9445]

Honestly dude, your channel is so amazing for talking about all those unknown and underrated games, it's a true pleasure to watch each new video. Keep up the good work.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks man!

[@VexTrooper]

One of my all time favorite PS2 games, that is still stuck on PS2, is Tenchu: Wrath of a Heaven. Truly, it's a gems of the PS2 era and one of the forefathers for modern day stealth games. I would LOVE a remaster or honestly a sequel to the franchise

[@MoonOvIce]

There was the Xbox port with some extras and slightly better graphics, it's called "Return from Darkness". I played both back then, borrowed the PS2 game and found out due to a magazine that the Xbox port existed, saw it in stores ans bought it around 2003/04, and it was the "definitive" edition.

[@qq5847]

Too bad Fromsoft only care about their Soulborn games nowadays. The closest thing we got to Tenchu was Sekiro.

[@Detective_L]

Few more games stuck on the ps2 is some of the Gundam games, Armoured Core 2, Orphan Scion of Sorcery, all the Ace Combat games, and Full Metal Alchemist 2 and 3

[@patchyourselfup]

Gonna definitely show support for Cold Winter. Game plays like Sony's answer to Goldeneye. It evolves the "spy" theme by letting you improvise tools, make cover, and have some fantastic punchy effects and neat ragdoll deaths. I actually enjoyed it so much that I finished the game.

[@bagingospringo4396]

It makes me think of old sof games

[@Xsetsu]

Shadow Hearts is a big one as we are unlikely to ever see it again and it offered an unique JRPG experience. The entire series is great also not just the second one, although it is probably the best. The judgement ring and combat system as a whole, the setting, etc. are all top notch. Dragon Quarter is so good but was really off putting to some people unfortunately. It does belong to a publisher that could possible revive it one day. I just don't know if Shadow Hearts ever has a hope of being resurrected. Sony really needs to push for better emulation of older libraries on their consoles. There are so many unique experiences stuck on some of these consoles.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Totally agree, wish they offered proper backwards compatibility at the least! It’s a shame to see some of the games just get forgotten 😩

[@Xsetsu]

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Raging Blades looks awesome and I never heard of it before! Even Twin Caliber I never heard of and want to play now. SF EX3 was a game that I wasn’t the biggest fan of growing up, but grew to appreciate it so much more as time went on. Love how this list of games consists of many lesser known games to check out. Excellent video as always!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thanks mate, glad you found something new! 🙂

[@scottmichaelhedge5055]

Raging Blades is terrible. I've tried to like it--and I do like the graphics and character design--the gameplay is complete shit.

[@HappyEmulatorGamer]

Shit list

[@ArtRiku]

@@scottmichaelhedge5055 twin caliber is probably worst than that ! There is nothing good in this game. The only good thing I had was a good laugh. Terrible graphics, terrible controls...

[@gargonovich]

I would love to see Shinobi and Nightshade get updated for new hardware. Both games that would benefit nicely from 120 Hz on PS5, PC, and XBS, too.

[@flickering_wick]

Maximo: Ghosts to Glory is my favorite game stuck on the PS2. It's kind of like a cartoony, level- based Dark Souls with more emphasis on platforming. Very challenging and very rewarding.

[@That_KVO_Breh]

Some honorable mentions: 1. Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver 2 2. Onimusha 2 & 3 3. Radiata Stories 4. Rule of Rose 5. Second Sight 6. Shinobido - Way of the Ninja 7. Steambot Chronicles 8. Suikoden 5 9. Tales of the Abyss 10. Wild Arms 4 & 5

[@newageBoundhippie]

Tales of the Abyss got a 3DS version so not stuck on PS2. Tales of Legendia however....not to mention the frustratingly Japan only Tales of Destiny remake & Tales of Destiny 2....

[@dial3ctric327]

Plus Soul Reaver 2 is on PC too

[@TVans-vs3gn]

How about Timestamps?

[@datelovuelta]

How about you make them 🎉

[@crunchybee]

I was really impressed with the Altered Beast on PS2. My kind of game. Graphics and gameplay was great but never would've found it without you because it was on PAL. I'm in US and never heard of it. Love your style. Straight to the gameplay. Keep up the good work!

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos 🙂

[@ziobleed]

one great game that deserved more attention was Haunting Ground by Capcom. It was released near the release of Resident Evill 4 and was shadowed by it. The white dog that you save in RE4 is the dog from Haunting Ground

[@aceytoja]

Auto Modellista is my favourite underrated game stuck on PS2. Incredible racing game.

[@TheTepelsteeltje]

Glad to see The Getaway made it on your list. My favourite game from the PS2 era has to be Spartan Total Warrior, though it probably doesn't count, since it got ported to Gamecube and Xbox as well.

[@the14thdragon]

Great list. I think Downhill Domination would be a good addition. Such a fun and visually appealing title for the time. What makes it worse is it was published by Sony and they could easily remaster or remake it and I feel it would be a major hit and refresher in today's sports/racing genre nowadays.

[@buffgarfield3231]

I have gone back and started a new file on Final Fantasy X on my PS2 because I like the faces more than in the remake. After like 10 minutes of playing you forget you're playing it at sub 480p. Your eyes and brain can adapt and go back to that era quite easily.

[@mustbemeech]

Yeah same I did for gta trilogy and it just feels/looks better than the remakes

[@poiutz]

A video that actually shows games I've never heard of, good job

[@evank1246]

I really wish they'd re-release the Shadow Hearts trilogy - I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Same here man!

[@WildKamuran]

@@thatvideogamesshow i have shadow hearts: from the new world. I been interested in the former titles before the third game but never got round to it. a trilogy re-realise would be lit.

[@ZephyrFate]

It would need some tweaking. The Judgment Ring was coded specifically for CRTs and different refresh rates make the system harder to use.

[@fslayer1290]

This hurts because out of my 10 consoles, my PS2 is the only one that has died. My 1987 NES still works, but not my PS2. 😭 I still think the system has one of the best game libraries of all time… and I miss it.

It's a shame the Shadow Hearts games (mainly the first 2, we don't talk about the 3rd one) hasn't been at least remastered for modern systems. It's on my top 5 favorite RPGs. I wish they'd re-release the Digital Devil Saga series as well.

[@kenpe1455]

Shadow hearts convenant is one of the best jrpg's ever made. Extremely underrated

[@kristun216]

THE GETAWAY Wow I didn't think that I would find a game I played at a game cafe years ago that I couldn't remember the name of. I knew for sure it wasn't GTA and remember the driving, graphics being decent but also have gunplay. Looking up the cover of the game it unlocked that memory for me fully. Thanks TVGS, I'm a big fan

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Haha glad the video helped 🙂

[@DoorsInTheLabyrinth]

I regularly lament the lack of a third Drakan game. Both the original on the pc and the ps2 sequel are tons of fun, if sword-swinging dragon-riding adventure is something you are interested in

[@DarkWestern]

Great list, but I encourage everyone to play the first Shadow Hearts before the second one as it is a *direct sequel* and may not make sense without the context of the first game.

[@foras592]

I used to play the Twin Caliber demo all the time. It got shredded in the reviews and I never understood why.

[@gorillamac]

While The Bouncer has its issues, the potential in that game to have had a series around it, both prequel and sequel, has stuck with me since getting it with my original PS2 in the summer of 2001. In my opinion, a remake that truly realizes the full scope of the characters and their backgrounds as well as the world in which they occupy would be really cool.

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

The Bouncer is easily my favorite PS2 game. Awesome to hear you say this. Square even based Sora off Sion just to show how much that game left an impact.

[@HollowRick]

Honestly it just needed a sequel with co op

[@blackflame4506]

The sixth generation was a watershed moment for original and risk breaking games of that time and the PS2 had that in spades.

[@retrogameguy9941]

I remember the early _The Getaway_ marketing; Initially, they intended every building to have an interior, said that if you damaged buildings or street fixtures, city workers would be later seen repairing them, all the in-game cut scenes were originally shot live action (seen on early demo discs) _and_ it was originally supposed to be on PS1! I was so excited when it finally came out, though I'd be lying if I said it played the way I wanted! Shame we never got a PS4 sequel/remaster/remake

Oh boy, this is going to be a lengthy series that will provide a large number of videos, especially if you count japanese exclusive games like the Another Century Episode games or Macross. Even if you stick to western releases only, I can think of Crimson Tears, Urban Reign, Death by Degrees, Gradius V, Grandia 3, Shinobi & kunoichi... Maybe even the red star. IIRC, there was a PSP port of that one but it was digital only and you can't buy a legit copy anymore Also, interesting choice to control only 1 character during the Silmeria segments.
