  • Resident Evil is a cool game. When's Resident Evil 0 come out?

          I didn't like the rehashed one too much because the gameplay was still too similar to the PS version which was still fresh in my mind.

          RE0 is a prequel, which is different, and I want to try that one.

          • I never played the original PSX version (or any RE games, for that matter), so the remake was a completely fresh and new experience for me. RE0 looks good, too.

            • Sega GT may just beat it.
              A. I didn't buy GT3 for the sound/graphics, but for the gameplay. The rest is just a bonus.
              B. GT3 is an old game already, and they are working on GT4.

              I'm not surprised that a new game can beat GT3. GT3 has been out for a long time, and so far only uses 30-40% of the PS2s power.

              anyway, another reason I bought a PS2 is that it's backwards compatible. I can use my old PSone controller and crap, and can play all my old games (and gave my old PSone to a friend).

                GT4 wasn't announced, or even hinted to at E3. That means it's at least a year away, probably 2.

                That's a bull**** statement like Halo using 20% of the Xbox's power.

                The PS2 has some real bottlenecks, particularly with textures. Developers can optimize how many polygons it can push still, but textures cannot improve any more for the simple lack of memory and support for texture compression in the hardware.

                anyway, another reason I bought a PS2 is that it's backwards compatible. I can use my old PSone controller and crap, and can play all my old games (and gave my old PSone to a friend).
                "Crap" is right.
                The PSOne backwards compatibility, at least for me, was a novelty. It was nifty but I never use it.

                It's a shame MS pulled out of the Dreamcast compatibility deal with Xbox, but they didn't want to pay $100/box for it like Sega wanted.

                Xbox^2 will undoubtedly support Xbox 1 games though. Next generation that'll be another "PS Advantage" down the drain.

                • If Sony wanted it could push Microsoft right out of the market

                  Reasons for not buying the Xbox: It's from Microsoft. As of yet still few games. No FFX.

                  Reasons for not buying the Xbox2: It's from Microsoft.

                  Microsoft = evil.


                  BTW, is there any info on the Xbox 2? So far I've only heard about the PS2 (and for quite some time now). Do you have a link?

                  • From tweakers.net (#1 dutch computer related website)

                    PS3:

                    200-1000 times faster than the PS2, uses grid computing. release date: 2005

                    Xbox2:

                    no nVidia video chipset, but MS. AMD processor. no further info on release date or specs.

                    Xbox:

                    Poor sales in continental Europe and Japan.

                      Microsoft has enough money on hand to technically buy out Sony. Just a thought.

                      And how do you think Sony would push Microsoft out of the market?
                      Sony came into the game wars with the PSX as the 800lbs gorilla, MS dwarfs Sony in capability.

                      Reasons for not buying the Xbox: It's from Microsoft. As of yet still few games. No FFX.
                      In 7 months, the PS2 had 50 games in its library.
                      In 7 months, the Xbox has 75.

                      That argument is getting worse and worse by the day, you know.

                      What's stopping you from getting both? You like FFX, so play it on the PS2.

                      Reasons for not buying the Xbox2: It's from Microsoft.

                      Microsoft = evil.
                      Sony is FAR MORE EVIL than Microsoft, buddy.
                      You should probably do research about how they put Bleem out of business, how they strongarm retailers into not selling certain products (Bleem) -- if they didn't comply they didn't get PS shipments, how they're a leading member of RIAA and MPAA (you know, those people who insist we have no rights with our DVDs and CDs).

                      200-1000 times faster than the PS2, uses grid computing. release date: 2005
                      The more accurate estimates are 6-7x faster, Sony won't tell everyone how they got the 200-1000 times faster remark.

                      Poor sales in continental Europe and Japan.
                      Sales are picking up. Remember, the console is only a couple months old in those territories. Comparing them to the PS2, which has been out upwards of two years in some categories (read: tons more games initially) is somewhat facetious.

                      And those rumors about Xbox^2 have been discounted by Nvidia, Intel, and AMD. Nothing is set in stone yet. In fact the most recent rumors are Microsoft's going to buy Transmeta (which employs Linux Torvalds, of all people) to design a custom CPU for the Xbox first hand.

                      • Did you know that Microsoft tried to buy out Nintendo for $25 billion and Nintendo refused? THOSE M$ BASTARDS!!! What were they thinking?

                        • Yes, that's old news, they tried to do it a couple years ago.

                          I think it'd be best for the console industry as a whole. Mario, Sonic, and Crash bandicoot on the most powerful platform.

                          And I don't see why you're so mad, it wasn't a hostile takeover attempt. It was an offer, and Nintendo chose not to accept it. I can understand your anger if it was a hostile takeover, but since it wasn't I can only conclude that you're trolling.

                          • No, not trolling. It reduces competition; bad for consumers. I feel the government would have blocked the move, anyway.

                            • Why?

                              There's still Sony, by far the most dominant.

                              Not to mention Nintendo's not an American company...

                              Remember that this is the government that OKed HP-Compaq.

                              • Asher, may I just point out that althoug Microsoft have lots of money, the reason they have lots of money is that they do not throw money away. This 'MS has more money to lose argument' is BS, because if the Xbox starts to look like a failure its stocks will bomb, devaluing the whole company.

                                Not that I think this is likely to happen soon, although I am very sceptical about Xbox Live. How does broadband-only jibe with my PC broadband connection? Do they want me to hook the Xbox up to my network?

                                You should probably do research about how they put Bleem out of business, how they strongarm retailers into not selling certain products (Bleem) -- if they didn't comply they didn't get PS shipments, how they're a leading member of RIAA and MPAA (you know, those people who insist we have no rights with our DVDs and CDs).
                                You mean like Microsoft strong-arms OEMs into not installing Linux or FreeBSD?

                                I do not see how you expect Nintendo to stop making consoles, what with such a wildly succesful series as the Game Boy.

                                Further, you were really excited about GTA 3, yet criticised Nintendo for making franchise games.

                                Also, to the person who wanted ISS, the only real ISS is on a PlayStation. That version on GameCube and Xbox is a pile of crap.
