If it's something that "you'd expect from a PS2 game" and isn't in the GC version, then doesn't that imply that it's mainly a "PS2 thing"? Maybe there's a joke in your post that I'm missing...
Anyway, jaggies and long load times (and low-res textures) are pretty much more or less a PS2 thing, so "bugs galore" does seem out of place to me.

Ask yourself this, though...
Why does it even matter? Seriously, what's the problem? It isn't as if these games are being downgraded for multiplatform release. They are still being designed from the ground up for GC...and that's all that is important.
Well, there's a few more...SantaCruZer said:

Yay, lets make another list war thats totally off topic. What would it bring Dark10x, a list bigger than the other and then say "HAR HAR HAR, Ps2 rulx0rs!1" ? Seriously, what would it bring?

Something to copy into notepad and save on my hard drive for later. Seriously. I kind of figured that he would be able to toss that together quickly and now was the time to ask. I have a list for XBOX and now a list for GC.
Man, you really need to settle down and drop this agenda stuff. Must everything be a worthless console war? /HUGE rolleyes + barfy rolleyes * 20

Ha ha, there really are a LOT of PC ports on XBOX, you aren't kidding.
I'd also be interested to see a Dreamcast list, actually. I have a feeling that would be quite small, but I'd like to know for sure.
I might try to put together a DC list, but I agree, the PS2 list would probably be too much work (which is why I was hoping you had one handy).
A DC list probably wouldn't be too bad, though yeah I think we'd be surprised by the relatively small number of exclusives it actually ended up having.
How about a list of games that made it to all four platforms?
-Capcom Vs SNK 2/EO
-Crazy Taxi (kinda)
-Puyo Puyo Fever
-Shikigami no Shiro II
-Sega Sports NBA 2K2
...anything else?

Because they don't sell well enough. NAMCO put a 500k target on ToS in Japan and it didn't clear it. If it did clear it then chances are you wouldn't see a port right now (as shown by ToD2 which exceeded NAMCO's expectations and is still a PS2 exclusive).

They'll probably find a way to put Dante somewhere in there, seems to be the trend.

Why in the world wouldn't Namco bring it to the US for the PS2 if the Cube version sold well?

Two things I hope they change for the PS2 version: Give you more incentive to do some of the smaller side quests by giving you items or a title and also, change the fact that some side quests disappear completely after a certain point.
The sidequests come back actually. From what I have read near the end of the game they "turn off", but once you get to the last area and retrieve
you can leave the last area and all the side-quests are open again.

Uh oh! I just let some one borrow my game, and he usually takes about 3 months to finish an RPG. Oh well....

Same could be said about Baten Kaitos. Monolith seems to be on their own as they said that after Xenosaga 2 they were going to look into making games for other companies.

Where's that 1 million prediction at? I remember seeing ones for ToS and BK but never one for ToD2, and certainly not for 1million.
I'm a little surprised as all Monolith's games have underperformed in Japan to be honest. Sales targets for Xenosaga were 800k iirc (it managed 500k) and Xensaga II & Baten Kaitos were both expected to be 500k (they managed around 230k and 80k respectively iirc). Xenosaga was saved by it's strong US sales though (which seems to be happening to TOS GC to a degree also) so there's a little hope left for Xeno2 & BK but it looks grim imo... I wonder if Namco might sell off their investment in Monolith?SolidSnakex said:

Why was BK even expected to sell 500k to begin with? NAMCO was expecting that from Tales and Xeno which are established series and yet they expect the same from a new game that alot of people view as a cardgame? That really made no sense. BK should've been 150k at the most.
I wouldn't be surprised if NAMCO sold their investment in Monolith. Sell it to Square. That's where the Xeno team works best.

That's where the Xeno team works best.Well, those 500k predictions came from MagicBox (who also said Namco expected 200k for Katamari Damacy, 300k for Racing Evolution, 300k for Moto GP3 and 300k for Time Crisis 3). I think all those numbers are a little suspect, especially as Namco hailed Katamari as smashing expectations (when it sold just over 100k).SolidSnakex said:
Yeah, everybody knew BK wouldn't come close to 500k. That one was Capcom level insane.SolidSnakex said:
Yep, I think Monolith would definitely fit best best with Square Enix... it might make up for GameArts slipping out of their grasp.SolidSnakex said:I wouldn't be surprised if NAMCO sold their investment in Monolith. Sell it to Square.
