Oh I loved it.

But I have to accept that there are things that are better in PS2.

Of course ps2 isn't a complete game yet and I can't believe the amount of rework the devs have done but.

PS2 graphics are marvellous. PS1, we all know they're dated blah blah blah but the key point is that those graphics will be very off-putting to a new players unless you already know that the game as a whole is superior.

Second the 'netcode' or whatever. PS1 is more laggy and less responsive than PS2. I don't know what they've done in PS2 but this aspect of the game is superior.

Thirdly, this is a personal gripe, I get frustrated by the amount of time it takes to switch weapons, it seems eternally long. I've noticed it previously without commenting but only in comparison to PS2 has it been really noticeable, at least to me.

I think treat PS1 currently as experiencing and Indian Summer, those unexpected days in October when the rain goes away, the sun goes out and the girls, for a short time, start wearing skimpy tops again.

Unless SOE devotes resources for a graphical revamp and for a netcode or whatever update (and I don't see why they would do that) then sadly I think that's all it will be.

Til then, enjoy while it's here.


*edit PS: one last thing, good players stand out more in ps1.
