Playstation 2 Anthology Volume 3 (Inbunden) [Böcker]

The PlayStation 2 Anthology Tetralogy celebrates the best-selling console of all time. From its conception to the end of its lifecycle, from its fascinating history to its countless editions—collector’s or otherwise—from its revolutionary architecture and Emotion Engine processor to its most original accessories and the detailed reviews of more than 4,380 unique titles, the PlayStation 2 Anthology stands as the most complete and definitive work ever dedicated to this legendary console.

The third volume of the PlayStation 2 Anthology trilogy explores the extraordinarily rich life cycle of the PlayStation 2. It retraces Sony’s fierce commercial battle against Microsoft and Nintendo, the introduction of new console models and online gaming, and the brand’s ultimate triumph with landmark titles such as the revolutionary Gran Theft Auto series and the transition to the next generation. This volume also delves into the system’s audio capabilities in the final section of the “Hardware” chapter and presents every PS2 model and its evolution over time, along with development kits, the BB Navigator, and the most notable collector’s editions of various games. It also highlights the most memorable cinematic sequences, the third part of the “Unreleased Games” section, and a curated selection of the most striking print advertisements. Finally, it includes an extensive review of all officially released games worldwide, covering titles from “R” through “Z,” concluding the comprehensive journey begun in the previous volumes.
