PS2 Face Buttons

[gingercheesecake]

They said I was crazy but I knew something was different

[jokerzbp]

The only use of these buttons I remember was in Metal Gear Solid 2, where lightly tapping the shoot button with the gun would just make you point and say "Freeze!" instead of shooting

Dude, Gran Turismo. You could see your input pressure on the HUD

PlayStation 2 was literally ahead of its time. To me, it’s the GOAT of consoles. What a start to the 21st century fr fr.

Another thing the PlayStation 2 controller had, software adjusted joysticks. Basically when your joystick started drifting all you needed to do was rotate the stick a few times in both directions and they'd get recalibrated, some games had mini games in the loading screens to make you do it oftenly

"Unalived" can't even talk anymore smh, imagine in 10-20 years...

MGS 2 made you lightly press Square to aim your gun without firing. Added a lot of tension to those moments being afraid you might accidentally pop one off.

I played jak 3 as a kid and could never remember the name of it. I've been trying to for years and here I am scrolling through YouTube before work and you just mention it. Thanks so much dude. Gonna buy another ps2 just to re play it.

This is one of the first things I noticed. I used to drive around “like a good civilian” in GTA when I was a kid and the pressure sensitive buttons allowed for low speeds.

The Jak and Daxter games still my favorites to this day, the first one was the first game I ever got as a kid and even though Im in my 30s now Its still my absolute favorite.

Metal Gear fans: Do not cite the deep magic to me, for I was there when it was written

[PrezidentHughes]

PS2 was definitely ahead of its time. It still holds up over 2 decades later.

[Serial_Sleeper]

Jak 2&3 you brought back some memories there

[Ohnoitsthatguy-]

I really don't appreciate you reminding me that San Andreas is over 20 years old. That was uncalled for.

[daltonparker]

I absolutely remember this. The lighter you pressed the button in San Andreas, the slower you went

[Vintagesonic]

As an FYI, you don't need to replace the word "Kill" with "Unalive". YouTube doesn't care if you say "kill" or not.

[Brianlikescars]

Zone of The Enders was the game that made me want a PS2, and it used those pressure buttons well.

the Jack and dexter series was incredibly amazing, and extremely underrated

I discovered this the hard way when playing MGS3 with an off-brand controller. When aiming with automatic weapons, you have to lightly hold the square button to shoot, but with the wrong controller, that subtlety wasn’t there.

Immediately felt it when I touched the dual shock three.
