BongoBob Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 New Revolution details New Xbox 2 details Although the details on the Revolution are still scant, I want it still, and XBox 2 is just looking more and more sweet. OT: Do you call is XBOX Xbox XBox or X-Box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'll eventually get te PS3, XBOX2, and Revolution, but it'll depend on price and game line up for which one I'll get first. The PS3 is really getting my attention because of the Cell processor, but there's no reason to talk about this in this thread because this is about Revolution and XBOX2. +1 post count!

I figured the Sony president would release a statement saying they were going to fix them for the worldwide release but then he basically said that nothing was going to be changed and that we should just deal with it. Seriously, he did. He has since then been replaced as president but he stl heads up the gaming department. (Doh!) The two major issues for me so far are the buttons breaking and, apparently, they're easy to twist and if you twist them while a game is in it and running the disk gets launched out the back of the handheld. I was really really excited about the PSP but when theyget stuff like that happening frequently and say they're not changing anything..... I think I'm just going to skip out on this generation of handhelds. The cell processor is indeed amazing. The one that will be used in the PS3 will be a "stripped down" version of this processor though so I dunno what its stats will end up being. I'm fairly sure it'll be the most powerful but I doubt it'll be very close to the non stripped cell processors we've been seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be just a rumor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it wasn't coming out this year. I'm looking forward to the new consoles, myself. I might even buy my first console after these babies come out. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never heard of such a thing.... Now, Sithy's hard drive is a dodgy porn site if ther ever was one * * * hmm...ive heard about those problems with the psp... but ive also heard rave reviews from owners, a couple of which are personal friends of mine (in Japan) what I wanna know Rhett, is how the hell do you twist flat controller buttons, do you play with your teeth ?? wouldnt surprise me really mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Oops, sorry. I got those two blended together. I ment that the handheld itself can be torqued pretty easily and that's causing the disc shooting problem. The button issue was just with them breaking.

Wow. I can't beleive how stupid Nintendo are for making sturdy hardware, especially in the case of handhelds. It only makes them look like Fisherprice toys Don't you think Astro ?

toms Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Well, based on almost ZERO information I'll make some dodgy predictions: NIntendo will do something really cool, but weird, will market it badly, no-one will buy it and almost no games will get made for it. Those of us who saw the potential will weep.... PS3 and XBOX2 will be almost identical... so i have no idea how to predict what will be the best one. It will probably all come down to style or marketing more than any standout features. Graphics aren't going to be much of a leap forward over the current top games (moving poly counts from 10,000 to 100,000 made a big difference, moving them to 1,000,000 won't be as noticable. Things already look pretty real, and its going to get harder and harder to make them "realler" as the human brain can tell the difference. ) Physics and lighting will get better though. PSP to PS3 linkup is going to be an interesting possibility... but then so was GC/GBA connectivity and it never really amounted to that much. PS3 and XBOX2 are going to be more like home media centres than game consoles, but both microsoft and sony will implement prohibitive DRM. THe one that gets hacked best will probably be the one I buy. If nintendo dumps the analogue stick entirely and just goes with a touch screen then no one will port their games across. With the talk of using a evolution at wi-fi hotspots it would be REALLY COOL if they went with a laptop type formfactor (without the folding screen, or with it as an addon) so you could carry it around easily. PS/ Anyone else noticed the similarity between the mac-mini and the gamecube? Still think the GC had the coolest design out of all the consoles, if only they had made it black or silver to start they would have sold far more.

Neverhoodian Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'd say your "dodgy" predictions are right on the money toms, particularly concerning the new Nintendo console. I was a big fan of the "Big N" in the past, but not so much anymore after their numerous screw-ups in marketing and their fetish for wierd gameplay gimmicks. Oh sure, I still eagerly await the next Mario/Zelda/Metroid game that comes along, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Nintendo may go the way of Sega in the future. It should be interesting to see how the Xbox 2 and the Playstation 3 will fare, particularly if the Microsoft console doesn't have a Halo game at launch. The first Xbox owes its popularity to Halo, after all. I've seen a few screenshots of games developers are already working on for the new consoles, but to tell you the truth I wasn't that impressed. Like toms, I think graphics have gotten to the point where we really can't do that much more to make them "better." Oh sure, you can up the polygon count, but it's getting very hard to notice the difference. Of course, the next step is virtual reality, but that probably won't happen for at least a good five years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 and their fetish for wierd gameplay gimmicks. I'd like to know just how many weird gimmicks Nintendo has incorporated over the years? Lets see.....first to use an analog stick....now all consoles do the same. First to use a touch-pad....will we see that in many consoles futures? What else? I can't think of anything... And what exactly is WRONG with that? Aside from being innovative instead of just pushing the same crap through and never trying to change the experience and possibly *gasp* improve on things. And games deffinately have room for improvement in the graphics department. Maybe not in terms of look but in terms of scale. Next-gens will have better capabilities for sprawling environments that don't have to compromise poly counts, and can render much quicker reducing load times.
