What the PS2 can do

Des, you are really cool.
Yes, silly Capcom.
The CPS-3 board was designed in 1998, and only 9 games were developed for it. Why? Because one year later, Sega released the NAOMI hardware, rendering the latest Capcom board obsolete, and extremely unreliable compared with the NAOMI boards.
Oh, and Capcom has been working with the System246 board, so... maybe they have heard you.
Street Fighter III - Third Strike is not very good on DC the *res scaling is awful and they disabled Z and C buttons, Double Impact is another story very close to arcade perfect. How does the PS2 version of 3rd Strike compare to the DC?
*If you press L and start on boot it will de-interlace .
*If you press L and start on boot it will de-interlace .
Third Strike on PlayStation2 is practically arcade-perfect. No animation frames have been removed, no sprites scaled down, you have both the OST and AST, simply perfect.
The only difference that has been found is that one of Urien's SA has one extra hit (the enery wall SA).
Des-Row backing Sega?
my point is though, which would you prefer...
1. CPS3 and SF3?
or
2. PS2 and SF3?
I certainly know which one i would prefer.
You also mention that the CPS3 has 9 games, but the System 246 has only got 4. It seems that capcom seem to agree that the naomi is better suited to them as they have produced 17games for the Naomi.
The naomi is based on the dreamcast and the SH-4. Also the CPS3 is based on two SH-2's the same cpu's that power the saturn. Seems like capcom prefers the Hitachi and Sega stuff.
This should not surprise you, I only dislike people who hate "$ony". I don't dislike any company as a whole.
From a collector standpoint, the CPS-3 version. From a practical standpoint, the PlayStation2 release. Anyway, I have both.
System246 has over 20 releases. If you were talking about Capcom-only releases, it has less than 4. Not all the information on System16.com is actually accurate. Anyway, I don't understand what your point is. This does not mean that NAOMI is more powerful, it only means that Capcom does not need to use more power than what the NAOMI hardware offers.

No news to me. And also, pretty pointless for you to post this.
Well, for -some- reason, 2D games on PlayStation2 look better than 2D games on the Dreamcast.
Examples - King of Fighters 2000, 2001, 2002, Street Fighter III Third Strike, etc.
In other words, all 2D games available for both systems.
Oh... and you should think of examples to back up what you write next time.
My arguement isn't dreamcats versus ps2 as you like to make out, but Arcade versus Playstation 2, something to whitch even you back the arcade version.
You make out the PS2 to be this fantastic system and you also like to compare it to similar games in the arcade. Fact is, the PS2 cannot compete with systems created years before it.
Stop being so stubborn and just accept the fact that the PS2 is not an arcade machine and never will be. You don't have to be embarressed.
Oh yeah, examples,
Neo Geo MVS,
Metal Slug (any)
King of Fighters (any)
and they were created on system who's processor was created in 1978!
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Guilty Gear
Street Fighter 3
to name but a few
Give me the arcade version over the ps2 any day. If you are going to then go on about practicality then give me the emulated version over the PS2 as well.

Blah blah blah, what kind of backup do you have? Just the fact that you hate the PlayStation2? Ok.
All those games look and sound better on PlayStation2 than on their original hardware, as simple as that. If you prefer to emulate or whatever, your problem, I don't senselessly hate the PlayStation2.
I have a MVS board, and all the PlayStation2 releases of KOF look and sound a lot better than the original version. Same for the Metal Slug releases.
Guilty Gear ISUKA on both Atomiswave and PlayStation2 is practically the same, I have played both thoroughly.
Street Fighter III? We already discussed that, but you refuse to accept any kind of facts.
Oh, and I am supposed to be stubborn. Sure.
I never said that i didnt like the Playstation 2 in fact i like many games on it just not many of the 2d ones. It is simply as assumption that you have made becuase you don't like it when people disagree with you, especially when it comes to the PS2
I even went to many lengths to get a special edition silver one. So stop trying to turn this into a PS2 bashing exercise, i am not the scape goat that you are looking for.
If you prefer to play the SNK games on the PS2 then that is your problem.
Just while i am at it too, i can't help but think how bad Strikers 1945 part one and two was on the PS2, not to mention also Steel Dragon EX (Shienryu).
I know that you would love to think that i am somehow bashing your beloved PS2, but im not. Im simply believe that the PS2 is not the replacement for an aracde system or even a supergun setup for that matter, especially when it comes to 2D.
Edit
Oh yeah,
even though XII stag wasn't that great in the arcade, it is even worse on the PS2. XII, Strikers and Shienryu all suffer on the PS2 from dull colours. Also in strikers, the sprites do not match up during explosions and alpha channel transperancy isn't implemented very well in it or XII stag. those are just the ones that srping to mind at the moment.

I don't "prefer" to play arcade games on my PlayStation2, my point is, they look and sound the same, and sometimes even better. Saying that the PlayStation2 cannot do good 2D games is simply stupid, just a idiotic rumour that appeared when the system was just released.
No one wants to replace your beloved old arcade hardware, don't worry.
If I prefered ports over the actual PCB/ROM, I would not have a cabinet and several different arcade boards.
