I’m really thinking of getting a PS2 and dive into retro gaming
Just use an emulator. I say this as someone who still has PS2s. Retro gaming on original hardware is rapidly becoming the easiest way to spend money.
I remember when old Nintendo cartridges were $1-$2 at the thrift store or Babbage's in the mall. Now everything old is "collectible".
Everything, across all fields. Old shit is better.
I highly recommend Silent Hill 2 if that's the case. Primarily because all subsequent releases of that game graphically altered it and removed a lot of the fog which was a huge contributor to the atmospheric feel of the game, but was largely implemented as a technical workaround so the poor PS2 wouldn't have to render everything and catch fire.
Very good game, but the genuine experience can only be had on the PS2. So if you're going to invest in that old hardware, make sure that game is on your list of games to pick up for it.
Will do. My brother and I played the first Silent Hill together and had a blast
Sounds like a plan.
I still have a PS2 and can't recommend it more. You can also play the PS1 games on it and use freemcboot to play also older consoles.
Emulators are cool, but if you get a chipped PS2 you will be able to play burned discs and will have a very authentic experience.
You don’t even need to chip it anymore. There are soft mods out there that’ll let you play right off of SD card, or if you have a fat PS2, the internal hard drive and Ethernet.
