Oh yeah, it's also got THREE CHANNEL SOUND, and a HUGE 64k of memory. And it loads games from standard audio tapes, none of this stupid small disk rubbish.
So there. Nah nah nah naaaah nah. Joke's on you, poo-head. 8-p
Some one comes along with a stupid remark like that and no one argues back with an equally stupid comment against any other systems.
I don't think the PS2 is all that bad. I just think that it's more worth my while to wait for a Gamecube.
(I also still think there's a chance that the PS2 could go the same way as the Saturn but I'm not going to start that arguement again!)
Ooh, my aching sides! That's a cracker, tell me another...
Professional! Unbiased! Woooohoooo hoo hoo. Oh, stop it, you're killing me.
Boy, I'm in a good mood today. One day to go, PS2 people!
Where's Grix... he's the kind of level-headed, reasonable non-PS2 geezer we want around here.
Also:
*cough* biased *cough*... Anyway.
Hmmmmmm, let's have a look shall we. Let's see, the first PS2 games I will be getting will be TimeSplitters, which has had great reviews all round, TTT, which has had mixed reviews, but if it's as good as Tekken 3 (which I haven't got) it'll be great. There's FIFA 2001, ISS, SSX Snowboarding and more. Also, yeah, in a year's time there will be some games worth getting. MGS2, GT3, Soul Reaver 2, Half-Life and lots more!!! There is of course no doubt that the DC has great games to offer, MSR, Shenmue for instance!!
Also, yeah the PS2 will have 16 at launch, more than any console ever. Yeah, Dreamcast has over 150, BUT IT'S BEEN OUT FOR OVER A YEAR!!!!!!!! What do you expect????????????
There's no doubt that the DC is a f**king good console, with some brill games, but I can't think of over 50 of them. But maybe there is, you never know...
Anyway, my point is, don't judge the PS2 before its even come out, and don't deny it, there WILL be some top notch games on PS2 within this year.
Thanks for reading, Ant.
{:) "ONCE YOU POP, YOU CAN'T STOP!!!" CLASSIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!
I am completely unbiased.
And Ill prove it.
i have owned an imported PS2 for A LONG time now and a UK DC for just as long.
illl tell you now that polygon counts and speed in mhz. doesnt matter with the PS2 for many good reasons.
Firstly, polygon counts - This simply doesnt matter because you are stationg the polygons without effects for the PS2, like Sony has, and the polygons for the DC including all effects as said by Sega. In reality, the PS2 can not handle the effects on the polygons that the DC can as it only has 4MB SDRAm whilst the DC has 8MB SDRAM so Sony quote their specs without effects. in reality, if the effects could be used, it would be around the same as the DC.
Onto speed - The speed on the PS2 can not be utilised as the PS2 has not got antialiasing built in, the DC has. Thi effect takes up to a half of the processing power of the PS2 to perform properly, which means, if you can do maths leaves it SLOWER than the DC.
On top of this, the DC is £150 cheper and comes with three free games in you local Dixons or you can get one with all that included and a REGION FREE DVD player for £300.
So, a PS2 with three games, xtra controller etc. - £450
DC, three games, all extras, region free DVD - £300
Also, the PS2 will have 30 games by Christmas, the DC will have almost 200. 50 of those are riple A, I have not played one PS2 game that is of as high quality as Metrolpolis Street Racer etc.
So, my professional, unbiased opinion is that the Dreamcast is better than the PS2 AND you will be able to buy one at Christmas becasue Sega have made more than 165,000 units and are going to sell ALOT more than Sony..
>>PS2 - 75 Million/Sec
LM-F-AO, where the hell did you find these fictional figures, thats too funny :D
As for quoting processor speeds, when will you wake up, whilst the speed a processor clock ticks at may have a baring on processors that are designed exactly the same the real speed increases come from cleverly designed architecture.
>>the PS2 IS the best console for sale at the moment.
Except you can't actually buy it anywhere :)
