I was browsing the net when i found a link to some screenshots of X-box's project Gotham. I wanted to see them as i heared this game had the best graphics on x-box so far but when i saw them i laughd tottally. I was really dissapointed with this game. It looks like bloody PORSCHE CHALLENGE FOR GODDSAKES......well...a bit better but its not exactly GT3. So if anyone says X-Box is a better console cz the games can run faster with better graphics then just look at these screens......oh and before he abuse......this isn't as such a jibe at x-box but just a those folks who reckons the graphics are miles better....wke up folks.

I'd like to point out right now that I'm not biased on the matter. I have a PS2 and a Dreamcast and I am not planning on buying an X-Box yet I can still say that it is likely to be a good console. You're obviously the biased ones as you're bashing the console because of 2 screen shots!
And SSXPro, I see what you mean but first of all, I have seen other shots of this game and it does look really good. Forgive me if I don't downlaod pictures or keep URLs. And yes, it is just my opinion. I think MSR is better than GT3 and since Project Gotham looks to be just an improved MSR, it should also be better than GT3. I think MSR is the best racing game ever therefore I think PRoject Gotham will be the new best racer around. I'm as entitled to my opinion, as you are. And don't say that I wrote it like a fact because it gets very tedious participating in a conversation (or argument whatever way you look at it) and having to write 'in my opinion' at the beginning of each sentence.
If Project Gotham wasn't an X-Box exclusive and was being released on PS2 as well, would we really have had a topic saying how bad it looks?

Have any of you actually seen a movie clip or played it ?
I played the game at a press launch in November and the graphics are as good, if not better than GT3. Not sure about the longtivity though, can't see it outlasting GT3.

I think thats fair enough. Each of us has our favoured game. I agree about the IMO thing, but you miss it out and some idiot like me will come along and pick it up. :-)
Last small part of an argument though... I`d be happy to see Project Gotham on PS2, but from what I`ve heard its more like Burnout than GT3 in its style of gameplay, and I am not a fan of Burnout.

I've seen a video clip of Project Gothem and it looks amazing. But lets not judge the X-Box just yet. I have GT3 and on March 14th will have Project Gothem. So wait 6 weeks and i'll be able to honestly tell you which is better in terms of graphics ability.
Natbuc- most casual gamers will not base the quality of games on the screen shots, but on the millions of dollars MS has spent on promoting the console- expect the UK ads to start in the next few weeks.
And Gefdoff in response to your post:
"Microsoft have tried to make the xbox too much like a pc."
Errr... you obviously know almost nothing about console architecture- EVERY console except for the PS2 is based Pc architecture. The Dreamcast even used Windows, and I think most people will agree- that's one of the best consoles of all time!
"All the extra processing power isnt reqired in a games console. It doesnt make the console better, it just increases the price. The games seem ok but a ps2 has more for £100 cheaper."
How short is your memory? When the PS2 was launched it had the latest technology... and cost £300. Now the Xbox is being released with THE EQUIVALENT processing power, but also with an INCLUDED modem and HARDDRIVE. And the price... EXACTLY the same as the PS2 launch price!
"THe worst thing about it has to be the size. Its huge!!"
1) How does the console size affect the quality of the game? The fact is the Xbox has some absolutely superb game- Halo is meant to be the best FPS game ever.
2) The PS2 is actually not too far off the size of the Xbox- Sony have just made it out of 2 cuboids to make it look smaller than it actually is.
"The control pad is the nearly the same size as a re-modled ps1. The actual console looks cheep. The green center is only a sticker (I expected some sort of moulded plastic), however it is overpriced. Ps2 provides a whole lot more for a lot less cash."
Well, the PS2 launched at exactly the same price, and had no modem or HDD as standard. You have obviously never held the Xbox controller. You are obviously completely ignorant of the fact that another game system actually has games as good as, and better, than your beloved PS2.
Oh, and before you called my a biased Gates Boy... I actually own a PS2, will be getting an imported Gamecube, but have no interest in buying an xbox at this time. But I'm unbiased enough to see that the console rocks.

So, pd has 16 player link up multiplayer with no slow down does it? ;)
You know, you can link up up to 4 xboxs and have as many people on each as you want.. so 4 people on one box, 4 people on 4 boxes, 16 people on 4 boxes... outrageous!

Sounds all good in theory, but when are you gonna have 4 TV's next to each other?! NOt really ever got the full usse of that in your home, but could be good for yournaments , and its always a good quote for the "my consoles better than yours" arguments :)
Unfortuantely, Ortega, I have no interest in buying an Xbox at this time, so I'm not really saying my console is better than yours...
I was, in fact, simply replying to the guy who said that pd player was better... it may well be, but Halo has this feature that, if you're lucky enough to be able to use it, will really be great.
