Summoner Gameplay (PS2)

  • I picked up the game Summoner for the Playstation 2, and I decided to record some gameplay of it to make sure that the game ran just fine. As usual with my PS2 games, this was recorded through component cables plugged into my component to HDMI upscaler box, so the footage is in 720p. It, also, looks sharper thanks to the upscaling.
    Summoner was a Playstation 2 launch title. Along side Eternal Ring by From Software, Summoner was one of two RPGs available for the system at launch. It was received decently but not great. It did get a sequel, also on the Playstation 2, but it seems largely forgotten about today.
    Summoner is kind of a unique beast of an RPG in that this is basically a CRPG in the same vein as Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment. It was, however, developed from the ground up to be a Playstation 2 exclusive, at least at first. There was a PC version later on, though the sequel never made its way to the PC.
    Upon release, the game was praised for its story, story telling and rich lore. It was, also, praised for its sheer size and the amount of things to do within its world. It was considered a stepping stone for console RPGs and a big departure from the console RPGs of the past.

    good game. never reached Baldur's Gate or any of the ones you mentioned; in either combat mechanics, or narrative, or diversity of character/party builds, or graphics - but it had a charm of its own and did everything it set out to do quite competently, even if not outstandingly

    I remember buying this game around the time we got a PS2 and only playing it for around 30 minutes before going "This game is boring and f*cking ugly." And then never played it again. Just recently I was trying to think of what this game was until I realized by pulling old games out that I still have it. Granted, my tastes were a bit different as a dumb kid (I was 10 or 11) so I'd be curious how I feel about it now. I just heard, coincidentally, that there may be a remaster/remake or the original version coming to PS4/PS5.

      Does your TV take component input? If so, that is, always, a good option. If not, you could always try an HDMI cable for the PS2. I reviewed one here:
