LOUman Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 acually consoles don't really suck, they are just not as good as a pc. i mean, i love playing Medal of Honor on my PS One and Medal of Honor Frontline on the PS2. but when i think i can play Medal of Honor Allied Assault on my Pc... Same thing here: i love Jedi Power Battles on the PS. but JK2 on the PC... awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 I agree that the current crop of consoles aren't anything compared to a PC... But I see the XBOX being at least a step in the right direction, being in essence a PC in a box. It also shows that MS can actually do a decent OS, even if it is on a console. Online games? Seems like many of you seem to forget that XBOX Live is only around the corner.... I have an XBOX myself, and didn't really see the reason in buying a 2 year old console such as a PS2. I was thinking that the general public perhaps may be attracted to the XBOX when a franchise such as Star Wars is releasing a few titles at the same time. Trying to say to Joe Public in the run up to Xmas, why not get an XBOX, then you can watch the AOTC DVD on it, you and the kids can play KotOR, or Galaxies, or whatever.

LOUman Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 well, i can also watch AotC on my DVD-Player or my DVD drive on my pc without buying an extra remote control and i also can play KotoR or Galaxies on my pc. and remember one think, you can't upgrade you xbox without losing the warranty...

BCanr2d2 Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Joe Public may not already have a DVD player, that seems to be the selling point of both the PS2 and XBOX, that you can play games and watch DVD's as well. I know you very much think consoles are no good, but I would suspect there are more consoles out there in homes than there are PC's. It is a larger market, and has no doubt given the PC some stiff competition, making them pull their game into order.... And remember one thing, I could buy a new XBOX, or PS2 every second year, and it would still be cheaper than keeping a PC up to date......... (Compare the graphics on a GF4 with DirectX 8.1 on an XBOX to the same on a PC - XBOX kills it.......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atinymonkey Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I'm slowly getting depressed. Galaxies on the xbox before the pc. Now we have to wait 8 extra months for the game:mad: And why did that happen? Well, because microsoft flexed their muscles, and the pubishers caved in. Without support from microsoft no online game can hope to operate from a PC platform. Maybe it's time to embrace the xbox. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Spirit Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Both consoles and PCs have good games and bad games its just that overall PCs are waaaaay better. i still have my trusty N64 and i love playing on games such as Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. At least with consoles there are less upgrades happening; unlike with PCs where if you dont buy a whole new computer every month, you have an old machine :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOUman Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Nah. PC rules. Consoles sucks. That's all. I mean look how many games are avalible for the PC and how many for the XBox! PS2 has many too, but how long does a "PC" like Amiga, C64 or Atari exist and how long a PlayStation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted July 29, 2002 Author Share Posted July 29, 2002 How can you compare the 18 year old PC market, to the current crop of consoles?!!! Gee, whiz, an 18 year old, relatively stable platform, with a 7 year old OS structure to deal with, and you are wondering why so many games are developed for PC's? You are making comments on a relatively "immature" market, it is still in it's relative infancy. Think of the PC market and development more of that like the beginning of the car market. We are still in the current mode of when you buy a PC, it is already out of date before you get it home. How many different kinds of cars and different technologies went by the wayside before we have come to current stable internal combustion engine form? PC's are nowhere near as commonplace as the VCR, as much as we may like to think they are. If MS get it right with Freon, then your digital console/VCR is a cheaper alternative than your PC for a lot of things. Only thing is that I would dare to suggest there are more consoles than PC's in the world, at least used in a casual/home sense. So, mock them at your mercy, as the XBOX codenamed Freon from MS may start the beginning of a real digital revolution for the average joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galaxies is scheduled for a PC release sometime this year, probably December is the latest word. I don't think Galaxies is coming to XBOX until sometime in the middle of next year.
