I think the PS3 will have the better technology. They teamed up with IBM and Mutshito a long time ago and created a revolutionary E3 chip. They are using it on the PSP right now, thats why the PSP has PS2 graphics.
If the PSP has that good of a graphics, just imagine how strong it would be in a game console

Yeah, but you don't use the black and white buttons all that much. (In most games I've played, anyway.) I guess it all depends on the person though, because I like them where they are. It's the buttons in the middle that get me. You know, like on the Ps2 and those funky Xbox controllers?

meh, sure the graphics are a big part of each system, but what happens if you have a crappy storyline/gameplay with beautiful graphics? or crappy graphics with a good storyline/gameplay?
For me, its all about the games. Xbox is a nice system. great graphics, hard drive, can hold mp3s, but the games dont interest me. I enjoyed watching the aliens run for their lives from the needler in Halo, but its something that would get boring after a while.
So GTA is now on xbox, why would I buy it if I already have it for ps2?
The only reason for me to cave is if Final Fantasy moved to xbox, exclusively. But I highly doubt that.
Gamecube has RE, so I'm keeping that one

PS3. For starters, it will be backwards compatible with both PS2 and PS1 games, so that's three consoles in one, and the Xbox2 will more likely than not, which means you will still have to keep an Xbox if you want to play the games.
And to me anyway the poor success of the first Xbox speaks for itself. There's at least 4 PS2 owners to every 1 Xbox owner, and to be honest i don't really see the point of having a console with only a handful of games the PS2 doesn't have anyway.
For me, it's more a question of the PS3, or the Nintendo Revolution, Xbox2 is not a contender in the next gen race.
[right][snapback]582591[/snapback][/right]
If the Xbox is compatible with DVD-ROMs, And if the xbox 2 uses the same controller as the first Xbox, I don't see why it couldn't run an Xbox game.

Probably. That could use an overhaul too, it's been going since the PSX. (The dual shock controllers were available for it) although it could use an overhaul, at least they're good controllers. My main beef with Xbox is the controller, it's awful.

Uhuh,
I'm a member of the biggest UK import gaming site, there is a few fanboys like you burnside, but nearly everyone has all 3 current consoles plus loads of retro systems.
Anyway the majority agreed that the Xbox controller S was by far the best on the market.
Gamecube came last
PS2 was very close to the cube
You dont have one, you probably only played it a dozen times, your a big fanboy. why do you keep bashing it.
Its getting old fast
BurnSide
Apr 26 2005, 05:05 PM
Scar, i never said that was the general opinion, that is MY opinion. As i said, MY main beef is the controller.
The only thing that's getting old fast is your constant bigot know-it-all remarks, all of which seem to come from other sites and statistics. No opinions of your own?
No, i don't have one, and yes, i have played it several times, which is where i made up my opinions regarding it. Yes, i'm a fanboy, i think PS2 and GC are excellent consoles, as Xbox is not. You're just as much of a fanboy as i am, you just feel the need to bash other members opinions at every turn. Hope it makes you feel big, but really, it's just annoying.
Anyway, i think the poll speaks for itself.
Scar
Apr 26 2005, 05:23 PM
I have all three Consoles Im no fanboy I like all my consoles for different reasons, I hate people making stupid remarks based on the fact they dont have one. It the old mine is better than yours. Very childish but then.....
Although I intregued why you brought up "other members" shouldn't that be a PM ?
Has anyone complained ?
I don't think so (at least when im posting this) else I would have received a PM.
If you've got a problem do something about it
I mention one site and now I always do it ?
Where do I bash Members ?
If you can't have discussion without talking total mince or having totally biased view, chances are me or someone else (I know of few members) will "bash" them for it.
Anyway this is offtopic, its your job to keep it on topic. Nice job
14-12 hardly speaking for anything coming from a UM site. even then it shows it will be close
BurnSide
Apr 26 2005, 05:36 PM
Other members referring to myself. Bashing opinions referring to the fact that it seems to upset you when anyone has a different opinion than your own, so you have to go and try to 'correct' the opinions. It's quite annoying.
I do not have a biased view. As i said, i have played all three, and my opinions are based on that. If you think people dislike consoles just because they don't have them, well that would be pretty stupid. Indeed it did come down to me to a choice of buying either an Xbox or a Gamecube, and i chose the Cube simply because of my game preference. I don't think very highly of that controller either.
Scar you will just have to accept the fact that i dislike the Xbox due to many reasons and live with that. I've stated why, and i've stated that these are MY opinions. Obviously we are both looking for different things in a console. As are most people, which is why, you know, they have that whole different consoles and different games thing and a poll about it.
So, as you kindly pointed out, let's get this topic back on track, and hear some more differences of opinions.

Apologies then. I'll admit the word may apply to myself more, since it refers to a person who is partial to ones own 'group' or if you will, console. But it also means one who is intolerant of others opinions, and while i also admit that i go out of my way to express mine, or if you will, beat up on the Xbox, you can be quite impartial to the opinions of others.
It's not always the case that i beat up on Xbox anyway. Check the topic with the images of the new console, i expressed some quite positive remarks concerning it, especially if it will be incorporating wireless controllers, that would be awesome, and about due time. Same for the ability to remove the box and pretty much customise it, that's also a great feature, you wont be stuck with the design.
In the end, like always, the console war will be won to me at least by the library of games each boasts, as well as the extra features of the system. The opinions expressed in this topic are pretty much all based on the current consoles, we don't really know what the new ones will do.

For the record,
I see the PS3 winning the race again, only because of the customers who own Ps1, Ps2 and parents will more than likley stick with what they know.
I think Xbox will be a close 2nd, Die to the same team hyping it they way halo2 was hyped
Nintendo will bring out a fine machine and tell the truth they wont hype, they'll be overlooked by the uneducated Mass's and only Nintendo Fans and total gamers will purchase.
Thats my thoughts

I completely agree with you, although Xbox is a very strong contender, we may yet be suprised with the outcome! Wouldn't it be great if Xbox360 and PS3 were released at the exact same time, so you could see the numbers go up as they happened?
I am most anxious to see what games will be released on what console. To be frank i'm not as much as a console fanboy as a fanboy for certain genres of games, no suprise there. The Xbox was always pretty weak with Survival Horror and not one RE game was released on it, which is a shame because i do think RE4 could have been simply marvelous on Xbox, it would have been a much better port from GC at least than the PS2 version would be. Who knows, maybe capcom will end up striking a deal with Microsoft and i'll have to get an Xbox afterall!
That's the problem with Nintendo too, they wont hype it, and their library once again will be aimed for the younger generation. It's their major flaw.

Plus, once again it'll probably be an all-out videogame console, without online play or DVD features, unles of course they wake up and smell the mid 20th century.
Again, i guess we will have to see.
I have to say, this years E3 is probably the most anticipated yet!

I want a PS3, because I don't have a PS2 and I could get A TON of games from day one. (Kindom Hearts! Yea!) I really have no desire for Xbox 2, because the good games for Xbox now are either on PC or PS2 as well.

Nintendo games are aimed at gamers who like playing good games, and who don't care about attitude, as the games long are fun. It will definately have online play, and DVD is a good possiblity. Rev is rumored to also be wi-fi, so that you could use the DS online.
So far I think the Xbox 2 is coming out this year, and the PS3 and Rev are coming out at the same time next year. But like the Halo 2 release date, things always change.

Firstly, I meant that they care more about the gameplay and fun of a game, than how it looks. I will concede that Mario Party is the same game as it was in the N64.

I really wish they would just stop.

I'm talking about games made by nintendo, not games on nintendo consoles. As far as I know nintendo doesn't make games for other consoles. There are a lot of multiplatform games that are awsome, and a lot that are crap. If I didn't like multiplatform games, I would be deprived of bond games. I'm saying that some, smaller companies look at the stats that the average game player is 28, and then they make a game full of violence and think it'll sell great. I don't think developers specifically go out of their way to make bad games, a lot of the time they don't go far enough to make a game good.
Nintendo for the most part has consistantly good games, whereas other companies (EA) have great games (Madden) and horrible games (Goldeneye:Rouge Agent).

If they were completely innovative, then they could hardly be sequels. With sequels it is difficult to make it different, but still have the charm of the original. Maybe that is why Squareenix won't make FFVII-2. Nintendo trys to mix it up everytime in their other franchises, but if you stray to far from the formula gamers might hate it. But nintendo's "experiment" series is Kirby.
