"Xbox II"

Whens it coming out, i hope its not for a while. I've just got my Xbox and im planning to keep it for a good 2 years at least, i dont think (graphically) the Xbox 2 will evolve that much. Its just fine the way it is now, the only evolutionary features it can have are just add-ons, eg. CD-RW, Sky + and other features like that.
I hate competition, I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!
Theres no reason for it, i dont find it fun, it always ends up with someone being offended or upset. Why can all three consoles just kiss each other and make up, anyway, thats my opinion and i dont think its gonna happen so anyway let me bring up another topic seeing as im talking about the Xbox.....

....Is it my controller or what?
I cant seem to kill ANYONE on XIII, I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!
Who here has the same problem?

I really love the XBOX and its online service but its just so hard to get used to, i used to have SOCOM 2 for my PS2 and it was played in 3rd person shooter but i have now sold it and brought an XBOX with some games Including Rainbow Six 3, i've been playing RS3 for a week now and i still cant get used to the FPS style of play.

I have now decided to use the up-coming weekend as a practice weekend, i shall practice killing on XIII, i shall get used to the FPS on RS3 and then i shall sleep.

*Sorry about the temper tantroms*

What point are you trying to make, willis?

Hurrah, yes, as splinter cell wouldn't have been done (as well, at least) on a lesser console, like the PS1.

Though it works perfectly on my phone - yee-hah

Compare the look of GTA3/Vice City with something like Metal Gear Solid 2, MGS2 wins by miles but GTA is more fun. Well, i think it is.

Sometimes advances in graphics help bring about new game styles and graphics eg. Halo, Splinter Cell, etc.

You can't really 'work' on a storyline - once you've got a decent one, which works, you tend to go with it.

GTA?

Poor looking?

I hope you mean the first one, as the 3rd one was awesome.

And GTA sold off of controversy rather than graphics.

And FF7 didn't look poor for its time, t'was mucho fantastic...

There are quite a few poor games (graphically) like GTA, FF7 and a few more.
There are some games which dont get praised as much because of their poor storylines eg. Final Fantasy X, its a great game but not as good as Final Fantasy 7, why you ask?
Because they spent too much time worrying about the graphics when they should have been working more on the storyline.

But graphics sell the game, and, thus, are the priority

I think they should stop evolving graphics and start on the A.I, storyline and features. Without them you'll have yourself a very crap game. IMO, i dont think graphics is the most important.

There is still much to impove on graphics, i can say i have never played a game and thought 'Phhwwaar, that looks real' because no game actually has looked real. I think in a few years, i still won't say that because it will be a slow process, but they will look real.
