Nothing I haven't seen before, considering that I got a GC and RL on release day. It really is a beautiful game though.

Sergeant_Scrotum 12-03-2002 06:41 PM

So true. Actually, I have no problem with PS2. I like GC much better than PS2, but I still have some respect for it. It's Xbox that I don't like.

Sergeant_Scrotum 12-03-2002 06:50 PM

i find most of the gamecube games to be more kiddy & for younger people, i prefer X-box, what does everyone think of it?

I have a whole rant typed out here on the "kiddy" view that people take and i may post it if warranted. :)

I have an xbox and its not a bad system, going to subscribe to that xbox live service tomorrow hopefully and have a try of unreal championship online .

Magnum 12-03-2002 06:55 PM

I've never played Halo (gasp), but it's the only really good thing the system has going for it. Those monstrous controllers are horrible. Even worse than the PS2 controller.

As for GC being kiddy, my library consists of Rogue Leader, THPS3, Smash Brothers, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Metroid Prime, and Frontline. (Unless I'm forgetting any because I'm a couple hundred miles away from my GC.) The only one that is even remotely kiddy is SSBM, and that's not really once you start playing it.

For the cube i have, luigi's mansion ( dunno why i got that eek: ) mario sunshine, resident evil, frontline, smash brothers, rogue leader fifa 2002, wrestlemania x8. Think thats it :)

xbox has halo, pgr, nba inside drive (shudder basketball) doa-3, wwe raw, oddowrld munch's odysee. Think thats it there might be a couple of others though.

After working at EB for getting close to a year now, it's pretty obvious to me which console systems sell the best. Xbox and PS2. Both the Xbox and PS2 are fantastic consoles with both great games, good sides and bad sides.

The Xbox, graphically and power wise, is a much better performer than the other consoles, they barely touch it. Xbox has awesome DVD playback, a good range of titles (although it is still small) and Microsoft are really pushing it to succeed. Xbox Reps from Microsoft come around regularly, always cheerful and always great to talk too. The only problems I can see are most the games arent using the Xbox's true potential (and come out few and far between), therefore the games always look lacking in the graphics department. Halo, Halo 2, Splinter Cell, Unreal Championship and a few other titles do and will take advantage of it's power. I just wish more would.

The PS2 has a HUGE range of games and larger fanbase, obviously only because it's been out for longer. But thats about it. Poor DVD playback, the graphics, although still good, are starting to show their age compared to the other consoles. I have only once in all my time working there seen 1 Sony Rep actually come into the store and talk to us, even when we were talking it was all business, no friendly relaxed chat. Just rush rush rush. That put me off. The woman was hot, nice sexy Asian woman, but that still didnt make up for it. Anyway, on the whole, PS2 is good, but definately aging.

The GameCube. Well, I took one home to try out, and I thoroughly enjoyed Rogue Leader, absolutely awesome game, sadly, one of the very few on the GC that really did it for me. There are some better titles available now,, but out of the 3 consoles available, the GC has the most pathetic range, it's so obvious. PS2 covers roughly 1/3 of one of the walls, Xbox cover just under that, and GC hold an area on the backwall about 1.5 metres wide, about 2 high, and most of that room is filled up with overstock because we wouldnt have enough titles to cover the area if we packed them up and had only a few on display. Good little machine I've come to respect, but the lack of games really destroy it's potential.

Keep in my mind I have both an Xbox and PS2, so I'm not fan boy of any sort, if I had the money I would spend up and get a GC with some of it's better games, but that wont happen any time soon. In order from best to worst (in my opinion) it goes Xbox, PS2, GC.

Oh, by the way, nice pics Gerard biggrin: I love that Star Destroyer, very sexy wink:

When the hell are they going to get their heads out of their asses and make a PC Rogue Leader. Modern comps can handle that, just look at how bad Gaycube's Jedi Outcast looks compared to PC Jedi Outcast.

Im not buying Gaycube for one game

EDIT: I heard that they "borrowed" the Star Destroyer mission from X-Wing Alliance. It's the one that's trying to capture teh Death Star 2 plans on the Corvette, isn't it?

geRV 12-04-2002 09:46 AM

Depends on where you go as to whats selling well. In eurpope gamecube is outselling xbox, in the uk xox is marginally ahead of the cube by like 2500 units or so. America has the xbox and gamecube at each others throats fighting or second place.

Ps2 may have a load of games yeah but most of them are shite to put it bluntly. A lot of ps2 games shouldn't even get past quality control, the whole sony theory is to claim they have x amount of games even though out of that x amount of games maybe a handfull is any good.

What pisses me off is the amount of shoddy port overs the xbox and gamecube get. EA seems to develop specifically for ps2 and the 2 more powerful machines are handed leftovers of games that graphically could look a lot better. Fifa world cup for example had a lot of frame rate stutter on the xbox and its preyty obvious the machine is perfectly capable of running it as smooth as silk, but ea just ported over a version of the ps2 game and did nothing more to it.

I have frontline for the cube and while a good game it still has the crap ps2 textures making my eyes bleed everywhere. Is it so hard to sharpen the textures before porting the game? They included a multiplayer mode at least but the cube and xbox versions still suffer from slowdown when they obviously shouldn't.

Its about time games devolopers stopped sucking sonys balls and took advantage of the new hardware instead of the archaic ps2 hardware. Pisses me off no end having a £300 games console and a £200 games console only to get shitty port overs of games. cry:

At least companies like factor 5 and capcom realise the cubes hardware potential and same goes for the company that made splinter cell for the xbox.

WE DON'T WANT SHIT PS2 PORTS DAMMIT mwah:
