Obvious Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 um. then that's exactly what the ps3 and the new xbox are too. every next gen. console is supposed to be just a step up from the last. sega dreamcast was a good system they just couldnt harbor support for it. i don't think so. i mean the ps2 was a huge step up from the psone. also, it is noted that the "leaps" into the next-gen systems are getting smaller as they get closer to "reality" -- graphics, fluidity, animations, etc. so the jump from xbox to xbox 360 is a lot smaller than from NES to Super NES. i read something about how it's getting harder and harder to make the huge leaps as done in the past.

Obvious Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 i like how in those Wii promotional commercials they have dudes being all dramatic when "cutting" someone with the sword or firing a bow and arrow, and jumping from behind a couch and shooting. when you can get the same results just flicking the wrists and shit. you don't have to make the kung fu facial expressions and do backflips in your living room. nobody's really going to do that.

Dude, when I play Burnout or Ninja Gaiden on Xbox I'm flipping all over the goddamn room. I'm gonna be a total nerdtron when I get my hands on that Wii controller, I'm gonna be locking doors to my room and going batshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLT CUTTERS Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 xbox 360 has like 4 games...ps3 will fail due to it costing almost 700 bucks.... i like nintendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuse=--action Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Only thing I don't like about nintendo is the cartoony feel that they make a lot of their games have. I'll admit, they are awesome games, but I do get tired of bright colors and such sometimes. -fuse. Also, to those of you that think keep referencing PS3 trailers: Playstation is infamous for releasing FMVs for commercials/publicity, and not in-game graphics.

Even with the price tag, every various video game store friends of mine work at are pre-sold out of PS3s. It's fucking Sony dude, sorry.

BOLT CUTTERS Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I remember buying my Dreamcast... supposedly they were pre-sold out also. I was still able to buy mine a week later.. and was still sorry for buying it a year later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pissdrunkwhat?! Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 its ps3, the most anticipated system even more so than the 360, sony hasnt been showing off all the goods like microsoft did, its kind of mysterious but you know for sure it will be worth the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASER1NE Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 It never going to be worth that price to me, thats why I'll pay less than 300 bucks for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUR X3 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Dreamcast was an awesome system. And I NEVER remember it being sold out. I dunno where you live, but it started off with poor sales, and ended that way too. But it didn't have alot of third party games, and that fucked it over. I still play my Dreamcast, shit is tight son. Mad tight. You can get games off ebay for a dollar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obvious Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 yeah i always thought dreamcast was a great system. their best one since genesis. i don't know why they didn't really push the system like they should've. then again i'm guessing as soon as sony announced the ps2 was going to have DVD (around the time DVD just started to take off), then that was all she wrote for the dreamcast. DVD was a smart move cuz i know i needed a DVD player, but also wanted a game system so PS2 worked on me and i'm sure millions of others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qawee Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 the best part about the dreamcast was the ability to download games off the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUMPKIN ESCOBAR Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'm gonna have to co-sign on the dreamcast as well. That shit is gangsta. I only got like 4 games for it, but I never regret copping it. Plus you can burn em all on CDRs! come on now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playstation has become almost synonymous with "game system." a lot of people don't even acknowledge xbox or nintendo exists. I recall when Nintendo was synonymous with video games. I remember people not even saying video games and just saying Nintendo, what happened? sony came out with the ps1 and nintendo released the N64. All it takes is one new system to knock them out the box. Maybe 'gamers' will buy a ps3 for 600 bucks but the market majority wont. parents aint shelling out that loot for their 12 year old to play a fucking video game.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 nintendo went the way of the dinosaurs because of a lack of mature games, one can only play cartoony games so long before you long for something better, i know nintendo had a few titles that broke away from said description but for the most part thats what they produce.

fermentor666 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 there's an arcade around my way that has all that shit. they still have metal slug. which is rediculously lucky for me.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i have lots of arcades in my city im stoked on them, we have a couple nickle arcades, some better ones with all the newest games etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 xbox 360 has like 4 games...ps3 will fail due to it costing almost 700 bucks.... i like nintendo X-Box has at least 20 games at this point. Sony will launch with four more games than the 360 did. Sega used to be on top, too, they were ahead in the 16-bit wars up until near the end. Sony knocked them both off. It's plausible that Sony could lose out in a sales war with another console, but there is a key difference in this situation that works out in Sony's favor. Sony isn't primarily a game company. They have billions in revenue a year and also own a huge chunk of the mass-media both here and in Japan. They can lose out on a few billion with the PS3 and not even take much of a hit. Stocks will drop a bit, some firings will happen, but they will be able to come back. Sega and Nintendo were only game companies and still are only game companies. They couldn't/can't afford to take a hit like Sony or Microsoft can. Microsoft lost four billion on the first X-Box and they are hitting harder than ever. Nintendo can't lose money like that, Sega couldn't either. It's a changing landscape and it gets harder and harder to make comparisons with previous generations of hardware as time and tech goes by. If Nintendo could afford it, you bet they'd be making a system as glamorous as the 360 or PS3. Microsoft will not be out of the game for at least two years of failure, if it happens. Sony won't be out of the game for a very long time, either. Sony makes $67 billion in a year, Microsoft makes $40 billion. Nintendo makes $4 billion.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 my only beef with the 360 is honestly there are a couple games i see worth playing, most of them are crap and i hate how they say they hve 100 something games for the 360.... 60-70 of them are like pong you download from that arcade nonsense.

fermentor666 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I've got four games for it, two of which I've played the crap outta: Call of Duty 2 and Dead Rising. It's been dry, but they pushed the system out early. Most of the games for PS3 will be released for the 360 at the same time. TBH, there are only one or two games getting released for the PS3 on launch that won't be on 360 and only one or two that I'm personally interested in playing.

Weapon X Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 If I could afford it, I'd get the 360 for Rainbow Six: Vegas. But I know it will eventually be released for the PS3, as well, and possibly with upgrades. *yes, I know that it doesn't come out for a while, but it will be out well before the PS3 is under my TV.
