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!

Honestly, I swear I read somewhere Driv3r isn't being canned, quite recently, and I'm also pretty sure RS3 will be on Cube, although I've claimed it on GAD for my Xbox.

Honestly, I swear I read somewhere Driv3r isn't being canned, quite recently, and I'm also pretty sure RS3 will be on Cube, although I've claimed it on GAD for my Xbox.
PS2 online seems to me to be a bit half-hearted. It is too patchy to win over Xbox Live, at least in my opinion.
Not a total focus like Xbox, nor a watch and wait and tiny bit of online with GC.

Driv3r has definitely been canned and there is no mention of a cube version of Rainbow Six :(

Driv3r has definitely been canned and there is no mention of a cube version of Rainbow Six :(

Crap controller, rubbish games line-up, terrible online set-up....
I could go on but it would just get boring. Ps2 online is a joke, at least Nintendo aren't pretending to have a good online network like Sony are.

Driver 3 is being released on Cubem I'm pretty sure.
Rainbow 6 3 is also going to be on PS2/Cube, I think, just the Xbox got an exclusive deal on it.
Max Payne 2 is published by Rockstar, who think the Cube is too kiddy. And that just sums them up.

Just read that Rainbow Six article, why are games like Rainbow Six, Max Payne only being released on the Xbox and PS2, the same goes for Driv3r... surely this isnt great for the Cube?
Muh, Live seems to be much more structured...and it has better games.
But then again, GC has some of the best offline games ever made.

£40 for Xbox Live Starter Kit, £35 for PS2 Network adapter. Sounds fine to me. Plus, Sony's Online service has worked well with no problems so far. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

it is rumoured that Myamoto himself can be found reading these topics on a dark and rainy night, and if you arrive when the moon is at it's fullest, you might just catch a glimpse of him
