Personally iam really worried about the future of the games industry, on the one hand we have Sega, producer of some of the best games ever, the original grand daddy as it were of games.
On the over side we have the new baby on the block Microsoft, with oodles of money to burn and an aparent agressive marketing strategy in the pipeline.
However i have to wonder - will the word "Microsoft" and its enivatible link with Bill Gates (one of the most hated men o fthe internet)and the fact that the Eastern gamers seem to already hate the thing before weve had a chance to see what it can do.
This worries me because id the best developers such as square and konami aren't excited i wonder if there's something we don't know.
Nintendo are about to do their usual by the look of it and follow the n64 formulae, and release a games console far too late and majorly overpriced. (so here come the pokenmon once again)
So were left with the ps2, what a dissapointment.
Also were are the development kits??? Were we not promised that the real third generation consoles would be great for the home programmer?
Plus when a Large company like Sony having just released a new console is already talking about playstation 3 (having already got a working console that's 12 ps2's in one box)iam decidly worried.
If this is the future, then iam staying with my ORIGINAL Playstation!
DC chips will be put into digital set top boxes (Sky) to enable people to play DC compatable games. However these must be sent over a broadband network and saved on a hard drive. These set top boxes will not have a GD-Rom Drive.
The reason I think it makes sense is because the X-Box and Dreamcast are aimed at different markets.
Dreamcast is made and aimed at people who mainly like the Sega arcade games.
X-Box is for people who want to play PC games but cant afford to keep upgrading and buying the extras that PC's need.
Ingsy
Come on, do you serious think this is going to happen? People said the same thing about the PS, PS2, and now the X-Box. Microsoft would have said something ages ago if this was true!
It's not very good oops jerky abit there sorry hint hint.
