OK OK, so this may well seem a bias topic, but I can assure that after Sega had announced their giving upness of console making I am now 100% without bias (Come on Microsoft!!), but I just think it's a sad time for Playstation 2 owners - they have hardly anything to get excited about at the moment, and although there will be Metal Gear Solid 2 and Gran Turismo 3 - there really needs to be something that is proud of a title woithout a number - so GT3 looks amazing, and MGS2 plays amazingly - it's been done before.
Please don't get me wrong - I feel that PS2 owners deserve a lot better - after all they support Sony by buying Playstations, so they should expect something decent on the Playstation 2. It seems as though Sony has bettered Sega - they've managed to turn themselves into a messed up Games Company after many years of success, whereas Sega are set to make money again, but have given up on the Dreamcast.
It's a shame because I want Playstation and PS2 owners to join me online in a quest on Phantasy Star Online, I want to battle it out on Daytona USA against Nintendo owners who have never really had that much in the way of decent racing games (Mario Kart is a different genre...), and I want to play Quake 3 and Unreal tournament against PC owners, but if sega have given up then it doesn't leave me with any hope that the developers and publishers for the Dreamcast will continue to make games for the format. Shame.
Tekken tag Tournament should have been better - PS2 games shouldn't need to be classed as 'step 1 games' or 'wave 1' games, as they all should have been as good from the start - maybe they'll get better, but there are 2 brand new machines on the way and I feel that they'll bring at least 2 quality launch titles...
I've been playing Phantasy Star Online recently - I haven't even gone online yet, as the offline game is so incredibly addictive! I was blown away by Sonic team's graphical prowess; the player create system is just ingenious - limitless number of characters! Anyway, it's made a slight impact on the charts - check it out if you dare. 10/10 classic, so beware...
I'm now looking forward to the highly anticipated Csequel to one of the freshest games of last year, which even now brings a smile to my face. Yep, Crazy Taxi 2 is about to hit the streets and I can't wait! I'm not advertising for Sega here, or anyone else - I don't care if a console is being produced or not because it doesn't matter, the games are what count and if I'm happy with originality then that's great for me - I'm sure many of you are too. I don't care about DVD features, I have a DVD player, I don't care about 'surfing the net' I have access to my brother's PC (as mine was unespectedly attacked by some hacker of somesort), but it's fantastic to play games online with real people - it's all part of the adrenalin rush that you get, and not seeing who you're beating adds to the fun..
Alas, my rabblings come to an end as I endevour on a journey to watch Jurassic Park on DVD.
Please play me at PSO tonight around 11 - I am D1A1!
Ok thanks,

GameCube Nintendo.
I think it's silly how Sega tried to hide their name behind the mask of Dreamcast just because of some unsellinmg add ons like the 32X and Mega CD. This was the prime factor for their giving up. In the USA it did well, and in Japan it did not. Oh and advertising would have helped.

And Gamecube Dan... just because there are no huge announcments, doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
People who left Square, and I mean the big boys now... and made that new developers group... Brownie Brown, they left for Gamecube. Making RPG's.

Or maybe it isn't a riddle.
I know MGS2 and GT3 will be great as people HAVE played them!! Also, I meant Ali is the only person on this website.
Yeah, the Dreamcast has more titles now, but by the end of 2001 I'm pretty sure the PS2 will have lots of quality titles.
I think that the PS2 looks quite nice, but it's a matter of opinion.

The developers are capable of bringing the goods.
