Quality of Playstation 2 games on HDTV's

Sup y'all? Since I got my first HDtv about 4 years ago, I've never played a PS2 game (for the actual system) on it. Lately, I've been in the hunger for some Scarface: The World is Yours but the quality is sh*t with the AV wires. I've heard that there are wires for the PS2 --> HDtv but I'm asking; Will the quality actually be in High-Def? Or will it still be pretty trash like when you play PS2 games that you've downloaded from PSN?

Wires do not affect the hardware capabilities of a console.

It might look slightly better, but it'll still be sh*t.

There are 2 exceptions only.

 

Gran Turismo 4, and Tourist Trophy.

 

The only PS2 games that actually look better on an HDTV.

Forget the HD my friend, i personally enjoyed the whole PS2 era much more then PS3, so many great, classic titles its easily my favourite console ever!

 

Just take the PS2, and the games for what they are...Legend!

Ps2 games look worse on a hdtv then they do on a sdtv.

Because HD is scaling the image to fit the big resolution, and most of the ps2 games have small resolution.

Add GOW2 to exceptions.. GOW2 has a hidden High Definition mode...

I recently got a PS2 and was playing Scarface but I thought the graphics weren't so bad as that was one of the latter games to come out before current-gen.

 

Yes a HDTV magnifies the bad graphics. I'd love an old analog T.V. to play my PS2 on.

Couldn't agree with you more that was the golden age of gaming before it was all "Realism", FPS and Racing games.
