I want it because Mistwalker is working for it. I haven't really seen anything else that's impressed me about it.

Plus Final Fantasy's old producer will be making exclusive titles for XBox 360.
That's what Mist Walker is, Joel.

Save that stuff for the PS3 threads, thank you.
Looks impressive. I'll be buying one due to the fact that my father is an addict of the current Crimson Skies for the Box, so him and I will be buying the 360 (for him, mainly, since he'll be playing the new Crimson Skies game for the 360, WHICH HOPEFULLY comes out).
The games, from what I've seen so far, look awesome. The game that caught my eye was Ghost Recon 3. That game looks freakin' beautiful.
Be free.
The PS3 can power the starship enterprise for all I care. I still hate it. Cares more about graphics then games.
Uhhhh NO! I hate X-Box
Does the 360 mean how big it will be this time? You know 360in x 360in or will the inches be feet or miles or kilometers?
Active after a year? ZOMG.
But yeah when i DID post a year ago I was an ass to everyone. So sorry about that. You can totally tell I used to think i was "gangsta" just by my name. Boy have I changed.
no i'm not too interested. i was never too interested in the original xbox. my problem lies in developer suuport. it has plenty of american developer support but a serious lack in japanese support. nintendo has the oppostie problem. while it has massive japanese support and the best first party support it's american developement is lacking. sony is happy medium providing lots of stuff for lots of people and of course being the first port of call for rockstar.
i think games make a console and apart from halo (whihc never impressed me) i don't think it had too much to shout about.
You do realize that those specs for the cell are generic ones and most likely not the ones used for the PS3. Those are the specs from when the cell was shown off for the first time if I am not mistaken. The PS3 will probably have only 4 or 5 cores instead of the 8 core chip that was shown. The one thing the PS3 needs more than anything is some more RAM. None of this pussy footing around it this time Sony.
Mistwalker isn't anything big. So the guy who made FF and who has probably not seriously worked on a game in like 8 years is now making his own games again at his own studio. Doesn't sound promising at all.
That was probably partly due to the fact that the PS2 was the least powerful system of the three and therefore they feared that 2D games would make their system seem less powerful (for example both sony and microsoft insisted that the atari games collection had a 3D interface that basicaly said "Our consoles are capable of more than this".Originally Posted by Joel
Word/s.
For starters, it pisses me off that Microsoft is releasing the Xbox 360 at the end of this year. We do not NEED another round of consoles yet. Microsoft is just trying to get this thing out the door to get a head start on Sony, because they apparently think that will put them ahead in the race.
Despite the fact that I really don't like Microsoft, I do have an Xbox and absolutely love to play Halo online. I was even looking forward to the 360, despite the fact I was annoyed that it was coming out too soon. Then I watched the MTV Presentation for the Xbox 360 last night. The blatant commercialism was absolutely disgusting. It was all about the glammer and the celebrities and the so-called "gamers" who were far from it. "OMG Teh Grahpicz Rox0rz!!1 I hve 2 have an XboX 360 its teh-uber!" No one said that aloud, but it was the basic attitude of the show. Were these people the average gamers? No. They're the rich bastards who can afford two or three HD TVs in their houses. They're the people who don't look for any sort of sophistication in games. RPGs? Hell no. Give me a gun so I can shoot me some people.
The entire show just felt fake and compressed. Their timeline of videogame history jumped from an extremely brief mention of videogames of the 80s to--you guessed it--the Xbox. And now the Xbox 360's going to "revolutionize" gaming. I say that's bull[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. Sure, the community element sounds very promising, and their focus on online stuff is nice, but that's not enough to make me buy it at launch. The graphics they herald as being super aren't nearly as impressive as they're made out to be. Sure, a few of the games look good, but for the most part everything has that plasticy, texturless CG look. Even though I don't care about graphics as much as gameplay, if I'm shelling out hundreds of dollars for a next-gen system, it better be damn impressive. Mistwalker's games coming out for the Xbox, the possibility of a Halo sequel, and Perfect Dark Zero are really the only things mildly interesting about the system.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Playstation has always had the best "Exclusive" games(by exclusive I mean games that are out on only one system.) Sony gets games from many publishers like Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, ya know stuff like that. Thats where X-Box and Nintendo fail. The DS was a giant flop. Although many people bought it there are barely any games for it, and name one thats actually good. As of now, Sony controls every aspect of gaming. The PSP looks awesome by the way. Here is some contact I had with an Xbox nerd:
Nerd: Why are you looking at PS2 when you could get an X-Box
Me: PS2 has better games and I'm not made of money
Nerd: X-Box has the best graphics
Me: Do I really care? Graphics dont make a good game.
Nerd: .......X-Box has better games
Me: Name one other than Halo or Halo2
Nerd:.........
Me: Exactly. On PS2 you can get God of War, Shadow of Rome, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, CastleVania and a whole bunch of other things.
Nerd: Im better than you!
Me: Okay, your a complete nerd, 30 pounds overweight, looks like you fail Phys.Ed, and you own every game system known to man.
Nerd: So?
Me: So get a life, loose some weight, and maybe loose some games. GET OUTSIDE.
Nerd: I hate you!
Me: Cool, now go tell someone else that cares.
Active after a year? ZOMG.
