Rex is a veteran player. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Rex came into contact with consoles, it was the darkest years of the gaming world in the Great Lighthouse Nation.

The death of Atari, a game manufacturer, directly led to the collapse of the entire game industry in the Beacon Country, and after that, Nintendo's red and white machines landed in the Beacon Country, and Rex also played a new generation of games at this time.

Since then, Rex's love for the game has been unstoppable.

From FC to SFC, MD to SS, as well as N64 and PS consoles, including the latest DC, he has them all.

And after that, Sony's new generation of game consoles was also launched.

――PS2。

PlayStation2。

Represents the best host of the next generation.

After enjoying the shock of next-gen games on DC, it's great to now have Sony's new generation of home consoles.

In the PS2 game, he bought Ridge Racer 5, in addition to Dead or Alive 2 - Dead or Alive had previously launched the DC version, and he bought it incidentally, in fact, to compare the performance of the same game on PS2 and DC.

Rex is not just an ordinary gamer, he is also a well-known gaming celebrity on the Internet. Previously, there was a lot of interest in comparing the performance of DC and PS2 games, but until now, no one knows how big the performance gap between the two is.

So Rex wanted to see how big the performance gap was between the two.

In addition, as a reviewer, Rex also got a network system accessory that Sony has not yet released.

"Do you want to dial from a phone line?"

However, when it came time to take the machine apart and install it, Rex frowned.

Rex doesn't just play console games, he also plays PC games.

When playing "Hero's Track", Rex was addicted several times, so he not only changed his network from the previous 56K kitten to ADSL broadband, but also continued to buy krypton gold in the game, and bought I don't know how many skins and special effects, and now other players will exclaim when they see Rex's character.

Later, after the purchase of a DC game console, this home computer that can also access the Internet has made Rex's broadband more useful.

Especially when playing VR Warrior on the Internet, it is really enjoyable to be able to play against others online.

I couldn't have praised it more!

Rex really likes the feel of this kind of game.

However, the network system is a relatively "niche" thing, and in these years, the network is probably not even 10% popular among players.

However, the loyalty of Internet users is generally relatively high, which is the characteristic of this era.

Rex doesn't know what's going on on the Internet, although he also reviews games, but in fact he's not a professional, professional game review agencies are Famitsu and IGN.

However, Rex still has a certain reputation on the Internet, and Sony's publicity and momentum this time are unprecedented, so although Rex is not official, he has also got some privileges.

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that Rex has a buddy on IGN.

Although I have a lot of questions on my side, the most important thing now is the game itself.

Once the machine was installed, Rex put the Ridge Racer's platter inside.

Racing is a game that Rex loves a lot. In other words, the three things like cars, guns, and balls are absolutely indispensable for the people of the lighthouse country.

Rex is a big fan of all three types of games.

And as it turns out, the PS2 did live up to his expectations.

Excellent graphics and a hearty sense of speed, these are very good experiences.

But how to say it......

"It's a bit different from Sega's game, although the graphics themselves are a little different, but the performance is essentially different...... I don't think there'......."

If it's compared to Sega's first game, Sony may have a slight advantage.

But now, the performance of the Sega lineup is also very good, especially games like "Lelouch the Rebel", which is very good on DC.

And if you have to say it...... Sega's racing game also seems to have more advantages in light and shadow?

"Let's try another game first. ”

Plants vs. Zombies 2, this game is from Senxia's side.

Compared to the first generation, Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduces a new mode, the game supports more scenarios, and there are more interesting things in the system.

But how to say it......

"The Garden War didn't land, ah......"

Garden war, a game, Animic has released a trailer, this third-person shooting game, in the player base, is still quite popular.

The game is expected to be released on PC and DC early next year, but not on PS2.

Garden War is a pure online battle game, just like the hero's trajectory.

Pure online games, there is still no one on the console.

But......

There is no one on PS2!

Although this is also due to the fact that the PS2 network system does not have a perfect relationship, there is no news about the PS2 and the Garden War, which is a bit subtle.

"56K dial-up network, estimated ...... There's no way, right?"

At the time of the promotion, Animic said that the need for the network in Garden War should be above the hero's trajectory, so there is no way for the dial-up network to run this game.

In Rex's mind, he had some vague foreboding.

But the quality of the game console itself is there, even if there is no network system, there is nothing, but the expectations in my heart before were disappointed, this feeling is still quite subtle.

"The speed of the read disk...... It's so slow......"

Sega DC uses a combination of hard disk and optical disc system, some data is placed in the hard disk, although the speed of the hard disk itself is not very fast, but at least it is smoother than the optical drive - even DVD.

After playing DC for a few months, Rex subconsciously used DC's standards to demand PS2, and some things that did not meet expectations made him not very able to adapt.

After another level, he took out the disc and switched on to another game.

Dead or alive.

Dead or alive on DC, there is also a battle mode, and the official support is for everyone to play on the network.

But in the PS2 version, there is no such system.

It also supports two-player games, but the feeling of communicating with the Internet is gone—DC can also communicate with each other.

In online battles, everyone likes to say a few words to each other first, but now ...... I don't feel that way anymore!

Accurate.

A very unpleasant feeling spread in Rex's heart.

The dead or alive on PS2, after being optimized, has a better display than on DC.

But how to say it, optimization is optimization, but I saw the shortcomings before I had a preconceived idea, and this shortcoming is now gradually expanding in my heart.

Rex was a little disappointed.

"Download DLC?"

But at this time, Rex noticed that Dead or Alive also provided online game support.

DLC content, dead or alive, is also available.

On DC, Dead or Alive has several sets of vanity content, both free and paid, for players to download.

Although the network system is not temporarily available, it is open for testing.

He finally landed on the Internet through the dial-up network.

After more than ten seconds of downloading, the DLC content is just fine.

Then Rex was shocked.

"The download speed of DLC content on DC takes several minutes, or even ten minutes, and it is so fast here......"

And after Rex entered the game, he found that the DLC was ready.

Surprised.

Rex's attitude towards Sony changed instantly.

Didn't they use some kind of black technology?

Sure enough, it's because my previous attitude was too biased.,The download server is now open.,And the speed of downloading content is also so amazing.,Well,Not bad......

After playing two games, Rex nodded.

Although there are some differences compared to DC, the game itself is still very good.

Compared to the DC version, there is no difference...... Well, there is no gap......

He shook his head, then landed on his favorite forum.

Sure enough, it is better to use broadband and PC to access the Internet......

Here, the players who discuss Sony consoles, now occupy the majority.

Obviously, half a month ago, everyone was still discussing Shenmue, but now, the audience here has become Sony fans.

After all, the PS2 starting lineup is huge, and the machine performance is on point.

"I would like to ask, the PS2 doesn't have a hard drive, how exactly do they support DLC content downloads?"

On the Internet, Rex found that someone had the same question as himself.

He clicked on the post.

Sure enough, no group of people were also following along to discuss this issue.

yes, why is the download speed so fast?

"Because these DLCs are 'pseudo-DLC'. Then, he found a reply from someone.

Is this an uncle's party breaking the news?

"PS2 claims to support online downloads. But the PS2 can only store space for saving on a memory stick. When the game left the factory, the DLC content was suppressed on the disk, but it was blocked at the beginning. ”

How dare this uncle say it!

"I checked the game's system and found that after the DLC is downloaded, some code will be written into the game saves, and these codes will be the part that unblocks this part of the content. If you don't believe me, you can use a tool to pour out the contents of the memory stick......"

It is not so difficult to crack the PS2 body, but relatively speaking, it is not very difficult to see the content of the memory stick.

The player, who doesn't seem to know if it's his uncle or a tech nerd, claims to be able to read the contents of the memory stick and see the DLC for what it really is. However, he said that he has no way to crack the verification system for the time being, so he can't bypass the game mechanics, otherwise, these so-called "DLC" content can be cracked locally.

And this kind of operation?

Rex frowned.

The capacity of a DVD is not comparable to that of a CD, and theoretically speaking, there is nothing to do so.

But what makes Rex a little uncomfortable is that this kind of thing can't be called DLC content at all!

The current DLC content is actually the Mithril game platform, or Animic's definition, that is, the downloadable game expansion content on the web.

But in this case, it is similar to the feeling of lifting the ban on payment, which makes people a little uncomfortable.

“...... But in other respects, Sony doesn't have any big shortcomings......"

The DVD bonus is very high, because the price of the DVD player itself is very expensive, but after the PS2 integrates DVD, everyone can use the PS2 to watch movies.

This is something that DC can't do.

But in the so-called Internet system, Sony's operation is a little subtle and uncomfortable.

-- No way, once you get used to a certain living environment, and then you want to get out of it, it will be very troublesome.

Rex has fully enjoyed the pleasure of the Internet, and now it's time for Rex to return to a world without the Internet...... It's uncomfortable......

In particular, I also like to use QICQ to communicate with my friends, and on the PS2 side, there is no way to use QICQ at all, so when playing games, Rex will have a very insecure feeling - no one uses QICQ to call himself to play Hero Tracks!

He thought about it for a moment, and then began to write about his unboxing and first impressions of the game.

"PS2 is an amazing game console......"

He objectively described the powerful performance of the PS2, but also complained about the network system here, especially the soft fraud of the DLC part.

The post was quickly posted, and he opened another document and started writing his own review - this one was commissioned by a game magazine, and he had to write about his experience in detail.

After expressing his superficial opinions about a few games, he is ready to continue playing games and reviewing them.

Taking advantage of this time, he refreshed his post.

"Excuse me, how do we get around this mechanism and allow us to unblock all the content without the internet?"

Belch......

It turned out to be embarrassing.

The crowd of onlookers below this post is that they don't pay much attention to what Sony is doing, and they want to know how their side should prostitute for nothing......

The vast number of people in the lighthouse country are also thinking about how to take advantage of it at this moment......

"I don't know......" Rex shook his head.

This matter was probably found out to the previous uncle's party later.

However, Rex didn't know that the uncle party was not the uncle party, but Senxia who was stepping on several layers of broiler vests.

Well...... That's right, the whistleblower is Senxia, a scumbag who uses despicable means to hit his opponent......

Mori Xia was preparing for his work on the one hand, but on the other hand, he didn't forget about the PS2.

Sony has hit DC with false propaganda before, so Senxia has also used unconventional means to deal with PS2, and this is just one of the tricks......

The fourth aunt has two sets of sky sets, and then I found that the transparent sky is also a five-piece set, and I feel like I am about to become a kryptonite sow
