Hi,
I recently just got a ps2 as a birthday gift from my girl friend. The only game that I picked up so far is MGS2 and the Documentation of MGS2. Prior to the ps2, the cube is all that got. I heard all the talk about the cube being more "powerfull" than the ps, and personally owned the cube for such a long time since launch, but after finishing MGS2, I really have to say that I'm really impressed with the ps2. The environments seemed really detailed, no jaggies on characters, art direction is superb. I am just amazed at what Konami was able to do with the ps2 hearing that its such a monster to program for. Anyways, if any of you have a chance, go rent the doc of MGS2, the really impressive thing in it is that you can view all the cut scenes (yes, they are real-time!!) and change the camera angles. It was the most impressive to view the intro of the bridge with the cars and just pause it to view the cool effects of from the car's lights in the rain.
By the way, i think MGS2 will never be ported to the cube cause the controller would not fit MGS2 implementation of the pressure sensitive buttons. That's my opinion on why the cube did not get a MGS2 port.
Gamespot's impression says that Substance on Xbox suffers from major slowdown during the tanker chapter. Maybe the port wasn't executed efficiently to take advantage of the box's capabilities? What do you guys think?
