After a long time in the cold, could it be the X-Box is about to get, not one, but 2 shooters? But wich one will be the better? Halo 2 or Doom 3...But hold on, what about Quake 4? With Halo 2 and Doom 3 both on XBox, Quake 4 on the PS2 could be just what Sony needs. Mario doesnt look so clever now!

Nah he's saying that Goldeneye started off all the things like 4 player split screen deathmatch and headshots etc etc.

I thought the PC started it all. What about DOOM and Wolfenstien (the originals). Back then, I would have to say the PC beat the consoles in terms of game appeal. Only later with PS, did consoles really start to offer the kind of variety that the PC had started.

Complete tosh, they'll tell you that because it was the first type that did well, not the first of it's genre. Games like SOD (sword of dystany) were being made in the basements of all nerds when the idea of Doom was just a drawing on a toilet wall.

So after Goldeneye, Rare don't know how to make a decent FPS? I doubt it!
And although Nintendo haven't got much experience in the area, Metroid just shows that this is good, because they're making it a new and original way, rather than just using the same style as ALL other PC FPS do, only with "nicer" graphics.

Meteroid and Perfect Dark vs Doom3 and Halo 2. I'd have to say Halo and doom win, mainly because they are made by developers who know how to make decent FPS, and in the case of Doom, the developers created the genre.

Quake 4 on the x-box!!!!! I don't think so somehow. I haven't seen any screenshots of the game, but I'd say the quake 4 engine which would be used would need a hefty sytem to run, and the PS2 can 'just' manage to run games with the quake 3 engine. Maybe the PS3, but I doubt we'll ever see it on the PS2.

The developer of Doom said they will be starting development of the xbox version after the PC one has been released with various improvemnts
I'm gonna get both Halo 2 and Doom III, looking to be class games.

If it's a dig at the Gamecube, the likes of Perfect Dark and Metroid are more than a match for these mere PC (and in the case of Halo) Mac ports!

Doom 3 will probably be released later.
And they'll be better on the PC anyway.
