Hey all,
Now that we've hit the age of super fast game console, amazingly stunning graphics and of course broadband internet it's about time that Nintendo got off it's cloud in the sky and made us a game that can be played over broadband!!! Well, i say that as i have just read an article on yet another PS2 game, and this one's gonna be a chart topper PLUS it's an online, multiplayer game! If you're not sure what game that is then i'll tel ya: Resident Evil Outbreak (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/residentevilonline/)
Not i'm not plugging the PS2 OR the game, but it's plain to everyone that the PS2 is taking yet another step towards monopolising gaming. It would just be nice to see a game that people reach for off the shelves that belongs to Nintendo before seeing if it's got a PS2 version.
Unfortunatley with broadband internet, as with anything in life, it's gonna cost - i'm not sure the going rate for PS2 broaband (any ideas?) but i'm sure when more online games are made for the GC i wouldn't mind paying that! :)
I guess some ideas for online games would be Res Evil for the Nintendo (oh come on people!! What's more exciting than teaming up with someone you don't know and beating the living hell - no pun intended - out of a zombie with a baseball bat!!?? You do it with Quake, Serious Sam and Counter Strike!!!
How's about an online Mario Kart? Or - and this is something i am working on at the mo (in my lab :) - how about an online beat-em-up game, like Tekken or MK but again people all over the world. Just throwning some ideas into the pot.
Imagine stalking someone else other than AI in Splinter Cell who isn't even in the same room as you - not THAT'S suspense!!
Just thought i'd put my thoughts down - keep this thread alive people and maybe Nintendo might take some notice and pull their finger out quicker!

Well i can always pick up Driv3r on my brand new, homemade PC. Just have to wait, tis all...
Next console my friend... next console.
Mm, I'd like the GC to take off online. But I doubt it will.
Well. Driv3r wasn't on my 'to buy list' anyway.
But KOTOR makes me happy.
Except my TV is playing going black and white onthe Xbox and crackly sound on the Cube.
Stupid TV.

It's times like these I'm glad I've got an X-Box.

Exactly. Except 'crap' equates to 'less profitable'. Certainly with the PS2. Xbox? Debatable worldwide. Now leave that argument dead before it even starts!

'In addition, Atari addressed its decision to cease development on a GameCube version of Driver 3 by stating that "it is extremely important to both [the game's developer] Reflections and Atari that the game achieve unmatched quality in all aspects of the title when it ships next year. Because of that, we've decided to focus the efforts of our development team on maximizing the game's potential on our lead SKUs, Xbox and PS2. Therefore, the game will not be published on GameCube'
Ah yes, I remember now.
'Maximum quality' and a PS2 = does not work
Money maybe? That does indeed.

Admittedly not the most concrete thing ever, considering the movies for all the other versions - BUT - All Ubi Soft games have been multi format, like SC and POP and BGE - Big games, and I doubt it won't turn up on Cube.
And yes, it seems after searching Driv3r has been cancelled. I thought it hadn't. Damn shame, annoying etc. Stupid really.

Most you people seem to take online gaming as a miss?
You are VERY VERY VERY STRANGE PEOPLE
