gta, i was slightly disgruntled when i heard this news, but a minute of halo, jet set radio future, oddworld, and looking at info about all the great xbox games made me realise that I COULDN'T CARE LESS.
final fantasy, wow u hv to spend the £50 on the game, the £100 on the hardrive, cos u cant play without, and another £100 for the broadband adaptor, didnt u realise its online only and yur ps2 dont come ready, WHAT A PITY

mario
pokemon, lame or what, i know there is a whole forum, BUT COME ON PEOPLE, 2 YEAR OLDS ARE TOO OLD FOR IT
metroid, i admit damn good game and one of the best e3 games, but halo 2 online will be better
celda, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THEY'VE TURNED THE BEST NINTENDO GAME INTO A CEL SHADED PIECE OF CRAP, i know i like jet set, but zelda has always looked really good, with proper people, scary-to-some monsters, and now they screwed it right up
star fox
resident evil
perfect dark, i thought nintendo said a playable version would be at e3, i didnt see it, was it hidden away in the broom cupboard or something?
(most of these games will not be out till 2003)
and also barely have any online plans
-------------------------------------------------
while SOME of gamecubes and ps2 exclusives are looking like good games, it seems that xbox has more exclusives than both gamecube and ps2 put together and ALSO looking pretty promising thus far, AND FOR GOOD REASON, xbox has a software attach rate of 4.2 games per console (attractive to game developers)
Nobody can doubt the fact that xbox is technically superior, looks at the stats and say TO MY FACE that they're not, i dare you.
All third party games look and play better on xbox, without a doubt.
and also the xbox is the easiest of the 3 to develop for, it gives the programmers more tools to work with, simplifying everything in a pc familiar architecture, more memory and speed, even the latest in graphics technology to work with, BACKED UP by a 2 billion dollar committment from microsoft guaranteed, THATS why most of these games will be beefed up and only on xbox
and im sure more games to come...
you still dont want an xbox?, oh well your loss, lol
I no cos I make them.
One valid point to be made here. I see that you are all sticking up for PC games, I have no problem with that but not so long back people were slating the Xbox for being a PC so make your mind up! I think that is why I like the Xbox so much, I couldn't play half the games out on PC but the Xbox gives me the chance to play them with equally to better graphics and a Pad to play with! Plus no installations so I am over the moon all round!
I am proud of my xbox, i do think it is amazing, but i dont think everything else stinks. I often go to friends' houses and play on ps2s, and ive told u im considering getting a gamecube for the vast array of quality games coming out for it.
To reiterate, thank you all for taking part in my little experiment
:-)
I think the PS2 will always rule and they'll bring out a doom3 conversion anyway. Sorry but I think the X-box sux. its way tooooo big to put anywhere nice like on top of a chest of drawers and have enough space to put the controllers next to it.

> OF STORY,
WAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
What planet are you living on? The average PC off the shelf these days can outpower any console on the market several times, and us PC owners don't have to dream about the future of online gaming - BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN LIVING IT FOR YEARS. Consoles follow the trends that PCs set. True it wasn't always this way, but it is now, and has been for several years.
The XBOX is a respectable machine that is doing poorly due to a flawed launch schedule. I have no doubt that we won't see the true popularity of this machine until long after christmas, but people like you are more likely to swing people to buying GameCubes or PCs than XBOXs.
Shut up, check facts, write sensibly, or go away.

Why are you a werdo(weirdo I presume) if you like Tony Hawks and don't skate?
Also, Spliter Cell looks brilliant and you have to hope it comes to all the consoles.
Welcome to the forums mate.

Gamespy is absolute rubbish. Crap service and getting connected to a server is bloody annoying.

There's a terminator game coming out for PS2 (don't know if its the same)

coming out on PS2 also
> (list would continue but there are too many games xbox is getting)
The list could continue for all games machines, consoles and PC. The x-box isn't special in its games line up.

Thats mainly because they both have near enough the same line up.
> Nobody can doubt the fact that xbox is technically superior, looks at

They're not. I'll be upgrading my Pc later this year, and it will be upgraded to twice the power of the x-box.
Now I'm sure the x-box has allot of great games to play, and if I had the time and money, i'd probably own one. This line-up however, has failed to convince me that i should go for the box instead of the cube. I think all consoles are great, and have great games to play, so instead of finding ways to damn other consoles guyks, why don't you just play on your x-box. That, I'm sure would be a far more constructive than making pointless. Irrelevant posts like this.
