    I had an decent TV which had inbuild Scart port since Scarts back in Europe used to be the killers against component cables.

    Also, if you’re “really” into retro gaming, there was an channel on youtube everything about it “My Life In Gaming”

    Absolutely! The PS2 might not have the graphical horsepower of modern consoles, but with the right setup, including component cables and a good CRT or upscaling device, it can still deliver a visually pleasing experience. Many classic PS2 games have aged gracefully and can still look impressive on modern displays when properly optimized for the hardware. It’s a testament to the timeless appeal of great game design and art direction.

    I’ve been replaying FF12 on SteamDeck (PS2 emulator) and it’s genuinely staggering. Hair, clothing, accessories etc are animated as you move. It’s really aged very well

    The better PS2 games had great art design that made them age very well.

    I think games (and movies) turned out better when devs had to work within the limits of slower hardware. Today they can make anything they want with almost no limits. Choice paralysis is a real thing.

    I am getting “back in the days” vibes.

    >appropriate TV

    that’s not a CRT you’ve got there

    I wonder what it would look like using an upscaling device and an oled display. I bet the colors would look incredible

    Legend of legaia! We must defeat the Seru

    I spent almost 4k hours on that game in prison lmao

    I think that art style carries a lot of weight in this game. Just look at BOTW/TOTK as a modern example – lack luster in a lot of ways graphically but the art style really helps mask those issues. Other PS2 games, especially ones that did those early “realistic” looking 3D polygonal graphical style… yeah those don’t look too hot by todays standard.

    Add an OSSC and it looks even better.

    Hands down the superior console of its time period imo

    I actually beat SO3 2 months ago, I wish I could’ve found a clear and informative crafting guide, because holy f, comparing my damage against the final boss to some guys youtube recording of it was showing me how utterly. Horrendously, unimaginatively hard I had made things for myself
