Platform reveiw - whats hot,whats not

[nosoul4evr]

I stopped by a friends house the other day...and what to my wondering eyes should appear..but an X-box,Playstation 2,oh yeah and the Nintendos Game Cube.:shocked:

Game Cube
In my opinion dont even waste your money on the game cube...it's a trinkety ugly little box that uses the mini cd's. And from the games that i saw played on it. It is basicaly the same old Nintendo Merchandice they've been cramming down out throats for years,and is still directed to the little tikes.ugh!

PS2
Not too shabby im pretty impressed it allows you to play old playstation games on it as well as the new ones,and uses the same old controlers as well...how much more universal can ya get? Graphics wise I realy wasnt to impressed...there are still alot of hard lines like in the standard PS games...but still very impressive. In my opinion PS2 is worth the money hands down.

X-Box
WoW! Bill Gates you have out done your self. X-box blew my mind the graphics were intense and the replay value on the games i played was terrific..i spent hours just mesmerized by the lush scenery...and the worlds were enormous! One game in peticular i just couldnt get enough of it...it was a race game,,,(cant recall the name)..and the cars looked real and handled like you would expect a real car to handle,with some of the coolest music i have yet to hear on a game,,all in all the X-Box is the platform of the year in my opinion...if you want the system from #### id look into it..WoW :shocked:

that x-box racing game was project gotham racing.


about the NGC comment: I loved nintendo ever since the NES, days... even ever since the days where they made arcade games like donkey kong.... the SNES was my favorite system ever, and will still remain that. the N64 is what made nintendo suck. i always stuck with ninetndo since the 80's, but i bought a PSX and I said PSX over the N64, i never even liked that system, too many crap, and kiddy games. Now the game cube got a lot of hype, so i might get that, but if acts like the N64 did... then forget it.

pros: great games, fun for everyone

cons: no DVD, no CD

Playstation 2 comment: I still think the PSX is better than the PSX2, but its a great system, it can play DVD's, the title are well done instead of just thrown at titles that arent even halfed finish like the PSX, I might get this system, only if they make a street fighter(not EX) game for it.

pros: has everything

cons: pretty big system


about X-box comment: i was at the mall yesterday playing NFL fever, i suck at football games except ABC monday night football for super nintendo(i could score 130+ points in that game). but this game had great graphics, great gameplay, but i had to keep looking at the controller to see what button I'm pressing which i dont usually do.

pros: like the PSX2, it has everything crammed in one

cons: man that system is freakin huge, and the controller too.... what a way to rip off copy video game controllers Bill Gates.

Sorry Nosoul if I did my own opinion and you didnt like that...

[nosoul4evr]

LoL thats what this topic is for..."Speak it man!"

And yeah that Gotham racing is the bomb..i reccomend it to every one...ya get "Kudos" points for making clean pass's,jumps,slides,and making it through intersections with out knicking anything,,,and the damage that the vehicals takes can go from gradual the extreem depending on how hard ya hit stuff...

..i played a pretty neat off road game on the X-Box as well...the terrains were huge with some of the most crazy stuff to attempt to climb over...in the 2 player mode we played "tag" on the "Free Roam" option...one player would be "it" and as soon at the cars made contact the other player became "it"...this isnt an option you can choose to play...ya just kinda do it.:biggrin: it was loads of fun :biggrin:

I do agree the X-Box controllers could use to be designed differantly...how ever the "pressure sensitive" trigger buttons RULE! to be able to give a vehical just a little gas instead of wide open when you press them is great!...the braking works the same way...no more haveing to tap the brake in order to slow down...just gradualy press the brake to the amount of braking power you desire...awesome! :biggrin:

I owned the first Nintendo it was cool when it first came out...but then i discovered Sega and was overtaken with it..(and all it's stupid accessories like the 32x)...

then came 3DO wow first cd base plat that i owned..it had the first and BEST Need for Speed...at the beginning and end of every match they had a movie of this guy ranting...he was very much like Denis Leary except talking car talk...and i never did get to see all the movies..there were tons..and although the games graphics pale in comparison to todays standard...the cars handleing was undescribably accurate in thier feel....and on a 50 inch TV with surround sound...holy geez! WoW!

Then i got the Playstation..and it has pretty much set the standard for platforms in my opinion,They havent been like Nintendo and suck my wallet dry with all these giggets and gizzmo's and changing there entire plat interface every time they come up with a new version..PlayStation is staying pretty much with one platform design and interface. I dont have to throw out my old games,and controllers. Or stuff them in the closet to collect dust..and the PS2 has a hard drive just like the X-Box...makeing it possible to make enourmous realms. And that whole DVD thing is one of the things that i think will keep the PS2 sales up..and the PS3 is suppose to be internet capable....####!

it's a new age in gaming guys and gals!...your every day gaming plat is now becoming exactly like the computer that we all use on a daily basis....i wonder what ol' Bill thinks of that?...he's probably selling them the hardware to make these #### things,and loving every minute of it! :biggrin:

What is the RRP of the X-Box in American dollars? I wanted to know the price so I can compare it with the Australian RRP.

[nosoul4evr]

X-Box is selling for 300 American,

if this topic contiues on with ignorance I WILL lose it. X-box is BEYOND crap. That controller is pathetic (can barely get my hands around it), but more importantly they have shit for games. Halo is the only game worth playing, and x-box has NOTHING on the horizon that is either new or innovative. If you buy that system now, you are an obsolute idiot. Look at the games that are scheduled to be released on that thing. They are either ports of other games, or games that no one cares about.

If you must choose between systems its either nintendo with they're kick ass first,and second party, or sony with their third party games...THAT simple.

to even suggest that the cube is a kiddie system is reaking of lack of research. If you want to bring that topic into this forum, you had better leave the stupidity at the door. I own that "trinkety ugly little box", and have half the games for it...and oddly enough, half of those games are targeted at ppl my age (hmmm...sure shoots down that theory doesn't it). As for the mini disks, those are dvd's NOT cd's. They hold 1.5 gigs of data (which is way more then what most games need these days).

As I continue to type, and reference your posts my anger seems to shoot WAY the fu** up. There are so many bullshit statements you have spewed, that I could take up 2 pages retorting to them.

Just do me a favor, and do some #### realistic research, avoiding all your biased opinions, and then maybe I'll take you seriously.

or better yet, why don't you let the unbiased reporters who are actually educated in the technology do the reporting, and commenting on the game systems?

can you tell Im getting angry? :biggrin:

[nosoul4evr]

:shocked: LoL...looks like i hit a sore spot.
to tell ya the truth i have not looked into what is to be released on X-box.But i played all the systems today and tried about 5 games on each...and i was seriously impressed with the X-Box...the controler size sucks i agree,,,but thats an easy fix....CD's DvD whats the diff lil pieces of plastic that hold info.

oh yeah...Nintendo Sucks...Marios a fag..i seen lotsa games by nintendo...they are pretty good,some rule.(much better than i could make)..but in general...blah! never been much of a nintendo guy my self.:biggrin:

and this was my reveiw of the systems.just like Siskal & Ebert "Aye" or "Nay".it's quite apparent you feel differantly Ebert...LoL :biggrin:
i can tell you are a TRUE Nintendo fan Zing :biggrin: This was never meant to be a technical report...im not vidiot enough to reveiw the specs on all 3 systems..dont care that much...and as for being bias..i dont own any of the 3 systems,how much more unbias can ya get Mr Cube owner.:biggrin:
