Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!
-
Midnight club 3 dub edition was THE game my brother and I played to the point the disk stopped reading eventually. That was a sad day.
If you're getting into motorsports in general and you liked rally I might recommend checking out the isle of Mann tt. It's the single most deadly motorsports event held each year. It averages more than two and a half deaths every year. Last year was super rare in that nobody died. Last time that happened was like 2012 I think. The most insane race car drivers in the world will tell you that nobody is more batshit crazy that the Isle of man riders. Even rally drivers look at them and think they are nuts.

Some racing recommendations:
Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition
Enthusia
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (the PS2 version is the best one)
Burnout 3 Takedown AND Revenge, both are stellar
Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 and Drift 2
-
I’m with the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus stans, but I’d be curious how your emulation handles the light effects. PCSX2 struggles in my experience.
-
Same question for XIII. Why emulate it?
-
summoner
Colosseum: Road to Freedom
-
For the plethora of HD textures I've found.
I know it seems ironic, because of native PC resolutions, but fans have taken texture replacements to a whole other level with these. I just tend to try them out and compare them to the PC version. This was one of the few I found made a significant difference, at least in my eyes. -
Dark Cloud 2
-
The Soul Reaver / Blood Omen games have not been recommended yet. Though, as a warning, last time I tried to do the Soul Reaver 2, there was a strange bug with the sound that made it so that you couldn't pass a certain puzzle.
-
Damn, there's like $900 worth of PS2 games in this image
-
Crazy Taxi, GTA Vice City, Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, Gran Turismo 4, ICO, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Midnight Club, Midnight Club II, Odin Sphere, Shadow of the Colossus, Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, Shinobi, SSX, Star Wars Bounty Hunter, Time Splitters 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.
That's my PS2 collection sitting on my shelf. Some of these have been remade into arguably better versions on later consoles, but the originals are still good.
-
Thank you!!!
I'd be pretty tempted by Tony Hawk's, but the recent news that 3+4 will finally be getting remade makes me hesitate to play. Since the experience will probably be better there!
-
If you're a fan of the anime, the .Hack// games hold up pretty well. There's a little OVA that is included with each game to give more story.
-
Katamari.
-
You beat me to Red Faction, that was some of the most fun I had in middle/high school.
-
I'm not particularly into sports games but the NBA Street and NFL Street games were SUPER fun. Everything else I loved has already been mentioned in this thread though.
-
Crazy taxi got quite a bit of attention, and it deserved far more. Great gameplay loop
-
What's wrong with it? I enjoyed playing it on PS2.
-
I fucking love Gauntlet Dark Legacy, though if the Steam Deck is capable of Xbox emulation that's my preferred version since you can save powerups for when you need them.
-
Soul reaver
Grand teresmo
Rayman 2
-
Honestly any version but the GameCube one lol
