Resident evil code veronica for the ps2 was supposed to be a quick conversion and should have been out in late febuary,it's been pushed back to june,august and now september.
Alot of the playstation 2 games are taking a long time and if it's needed then fine but it's taking too long for some of them.
However, it does seem to gradually lose time. Every so often I notice it has dropped a little behind. Could this be from holding the reset button when powering down? Is there a slight pause in the clock during a reset? It is possible that something is holding the clock back a little.

It does it itself I think. I didn`t put in the time.

Iam thinking about it. As the PS2 version has got some extra stuff in it. If its only the extra 10 mins of footage telling you more about Wesker then I dont think I will get it. If they released it with the Wesker DVD, the game with a few new weapons and areas then yes I will. I am a big fan of the RE series, it would be nice to have it for the PS2 but I already have completed the DC version. And if theres no new stuff then it could be a waste of money.
Also I would like to get the X-Box. I havent pre-ordered it yet as I still want to know what launch games are coming out and what games will be out shortly after. I pre-ordered the PS2 even before the launch in Japan. I knew I wanted this console as the games that were confirmed I wanted to play. The launch was a little hairy as lack of decent games. There were a few but not enough. Then a 5 month period of me not buying a new game for it. But now we have a load of top quality games which will be out by the end of the year, and some are out in a month or two.
I like the idea of having the hard disk and modem being built in to the X-Box as games makers know each person will have it. For the PS2 maybe 75% will buy the add on. This means that games that need to use the hard disk and modem will only be sellable to these people, meaning a higher chance the game wont sell as many copies. If this happens, less games will be totally dependant on the hard disk and modem. But with the X-Box game developers can use the hard disk and modem a bit more effeciently.
When is the USA date for the release of the X-Box? What about the UK?
As for the comment about PSM2 saying that all the good games are out next year, I`m sure that is a major exaggeration or even a lie. The Getaway, Wipeout Fusion, MGS2 and others are probably still set for the end of this year, though the dates are unconfirmed. Then there are the titles in the nearer future such as GT3 and Red Faction.
The only other stunners I`m not sure about are Devil May Cry, and the game from Naughty Dog.
I was reading my PSM2 and found out that most good games are coming out early next year, infact by November there will be very good games out one reason for this is probably because the Xbox launch is near, the USA date has already been confirmed.
Is anyone getting the Xbox? What do you guys prefer, the Ps2 HD and modem or an Xbox which has all this built in?
Considering that developers are not sure whether to use the power of the Hard Drive and the broadband modem because they arent sure if Ps2 owners will get it (the HD which SONY say it will make games more smoother) or an Xbox which developers are sure that the Hard DRive will be used as it is in the console.
By the time Resident Evil 4 is out on Ps2 the Xbox is going to be out in the UK - I think ????!!!!!!! But even with the Xbox we will still be gettting games last.
