It sounds like he's on to something here. It makes a good read.

Woah, 'cause that would be like, groovy man!

LOL, but because we have a 'Mature' console then we can't play with you :D

Everything always gets around to console wars :)

Oh come of it don't look at me like that, the game sounds like great fun!

Strafex that would be an excellent idea and I hadn't thought of that. It would be a perfectly feesable idea that would work, the only problem would be is that the GameCube and PS2 online service doesn't require broadband so for the Xbox owners who do they would be playing against other peoples slow-down and buffereing which would wreck the experience that Microsoft are trying to create. If however Activision set up a room that only people with broadand connection could access then the mahem may commence! One last thing, the PS2 version is going to be the weakest so what environments would the Multi-player showdown run in? Obviously Activision would have to create a room designed for all 3 consoles, but then we would be playing on a dumbed down version and it wouldn't work. The idea is a great one but the praticality isn't in tablets of stone!

The modem/broadband adaptors are released in Japan within 2 weeks.
Still, Nintendo are leaving it up to the devellopers to supply their own servers.

It would be good if say, Activision did this for all 3 versions of Turok Evolution on the same server. That way, Gamecube owners could play against Xbox and PS2 owners.

Then the REAL console wars start.

I would expect so, we always get things about 3 months after America so I would imagine that Xbox Live will Launch over here in Febuary or Macrh of next year, of course I could be wrong about this one but I believe that this would be an appropriate date. Who knows, they could even do a March 14th launch again!

According to Srs recent news article about Online gaming, they say XboxLive isn't out in Europe till next year.

IS it true?

They say they're holding out until it looks profitable but until then they'd like to remain a company that produces games everyone can play.

Nintendo might scrap the online idea, you never know..........
