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!

X-box live is the cheapest, most effective and damn right clever system ever devised...
Have you never heard of it? Go over to the X-box forum and enquire.

The next Splinter cell game for PC will have multiplayer.

I don't care for online gaming... that's for the next generation.
X-box beats PS2's online service hands down. How can you miss them out?
