The "next gen" consoles

Anyone considering buying any of these, if so what one and why? Been seeing some interviews with developers lately and a lot of them seem to be freaking out on the prospect of making games for them. According to gabe newell of valve the xbox 360 will probably be near the end of its life before programmers can finally figure out how to use the 3 cpu's in it effectively so theyre kinda advertising this big powerful system that will be in the process of being replaced before its actually being used anywhere near its full potential. Seems somewhat oOo: paying for something that won't be used properly,

ps3 same deal with the cell cpu, 99% smoke and mirrors marketing bullshit.

console games will become too expensive for me to afford. i'm getting a PS2 for 60 from a good friend. I just want to play killzone and bf:modern combat with my boys on splitscreen online co-op

Yeah the new xbox 360 games are gonna be around £10 more expensive or so because of support for hi def in each game. annoy:

they need to lower the price of games to the cost of a DVD (usually 20-30 for a new one)

geRV · 09-08-2005, 09:18 PM

Xbox is using hd-dvd so that increases the cost as well. I just prefer pc's over consoles these days, ive a stack of xbox games and rarely ever touch it, usually it gets used as a dvd player and thats about it.

Ill be getting the Xbox360. I love playing sports games and quite frankly sports games on the PC are fucking horrible. Only games i play on the computer are FPS...everything else is console.

Can't wait for FIFA 06 for ps2.

Only "sports" games i play are wwe games, and they don't come out for pc. loney:

The xenos chip is something we'll see in pc's soon enough, without the 10mb of onboard ram though. dance:

What the pc needs is a game like gran turismo 4, im no fan of racing games but ps2 owners got shafted royally and asked for more when they bought what amounted to half a game with online play missing. PGR 2 online was fun as hell, can only imagine what gt4 would hae been like. Id love to see the pc get some kind of game to rival it, all the capability and capacity is there, just noones stepped upto the plate.

nub question. For most games (socom, and such) that i play, that are FPS on a console, are so hard to control since i am so used to a mouse, and not the analog sticks. is there a way to use a keyboard and mouse for ps2, do they even make one?
