If those screenies are of realtime play (and I don't necessarily doubt it), what will the actual gameplay be like if the majority of development went into the looks? And my Microsoft hatred stems from the fact im a Linux zealot. Plus, I find Playstation titles much more gripping and entertaining. Although, i'm sure there are some good XBox titles out there (On another note, read this. There is potential that third-party gaming on the XBox could be limited due to MS` money grabbing tactics ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"The new console will employ hardware security mechanisms to ensure that only products created by developers willing to fork over cash to Microsoft can connect to and work with the console. " Ever hear of a mod chip? Seriously though, it probably won't stop most of the devs. atleast not the main-stream ones, like Tecmo, Bungie, Rare, etc.. While it is true that Playstation has had some advantages over Xbox in the RPG department, I still think that Xbox will have a better overall line-up of games.

Placid Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Ever hear of a mod chip? Thats exactly what you wont be able to do Coupled with DRM, you'll be pretty much limited customisation wise Seriously though, it probably won't stop most of the devs. atleast not the main-stream ones, like Tecmo, Bungie, Rare, etc.. Sure, but the smaller companies that make some decent games may not have the money (or desire) to even attempt the scheme. While it is true that Playstation has had some advantages over Xbox in the RPG department, I still think that Xbox will have a better overall line-up of games. (Not to say that Xbox hasn't had it's share of exellent RPGs like Fable and Morrowind) 187120[/snapback] I don't doubt it, there are some decent titles of course, its just my preference; as the XBox is yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 Xbox 360's just 3 3.5-GHz PowerPC-based processors. ANd a 500-MHz ATi graphics card, 512 MB RAM. Does have a rather small 20 GB hard drive. Now the PS3... 8 simultanious tasks, and graphics card about 2 GeForce 6800 Ultras. I think it has a little more power... Sources: Volume 128, No. 8 of Popular Mechanics.

Arnieman Report post Posted August 11, 2005 First thing: Fanboyism (Zealotry) SUCKS in gaming. There is a certain amount of gamers that just want to game, and don't really care if it's Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Atari, maybe even Intellivision. True, most of the gamers I know personally are Windows users, and have their computers geared up real good as gaming rigs. Why Windows? So far, most games run on it. My personal thought: I always wanted to be able to put the Genesis carts in a SNES... and vice versa. I knew it didn't work, but I've never understood what (besides money) would keep people from even trying to work together for the good of all games... (gamer-utopia? :lol: ) Then again, if Xbox is going to start making people pay a fee to make third-party products for their system... don't everybody already do this? Just waiting to see who makes the "Beta" mistake (similar to the "Apple" mistake)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The legality of emulators is questionable (thank you Sony). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sistema Report post Posted August 11, 2005 pumping adrenaline gfx into a console wont make it number one, nor will a V8 supercharged motor attached to a CPU. what you'd need, and what everyone wants, is something different. They want a new type of gaming, they want a revolution to the gaming history, they want Revolution. Eh... I voted, PS3..... not..... I've been with Nintendo ever since I was 7, when I got my SNES for a present ^.^ and don't go flaming me or anything =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) CXDX's BIOS are built entirly seperate of the Xbox OS, which makes it legal, if not always legally used. However, it only works for SOME xbox one games, and only about seven go fullspeed. And those are generally the older ones, such as Turok 2, etc. There isn't a good PS2 emulator, there's one that only plays 2 commerical games and you need SSE2 (P4 or Athelon 64-bit) to use it, and even then it's only 5 fps or so. Heck, on my system, 56x CD drive, 2200+ XP AMD, GeForce 440 MX, FFIX (which I *do* own, btw) only gets about 10-ish anytime it has to do something other than a cutscene. Gamecube and Nintendo Revolution don't even use DVD's, they use 4.7-in. optical discs. Computers can't even read them. PS3's using Blu-Ray discs, which computers can't read yet either. And if they only have 7 or so games that play for the Xbox one, good luck finding games that work with the Xbox 360. And thus ends your emulator discussion.
