Look At This Xbox Thread Gogogogogogogogogo

[Eddy]

your all little kids, waiting for microsoft's fall, where in the fuck are you gonna be ? using a mac? be more reasonable and grow up people, dont hate microsoft. Xbox isnt making the cut, but it had alot of good titles, how can you say doa3 is garbage!? halo?! halo is something else, its on another level of console-based fps. The xbox will survive and become standardized. The hardware it has is the gc + ps2 + a few more megahertz, Its a beast. This is microsoft's first console. Did you expect windows 1.0 to equal xp?

xbox = ps2 + gc + more? Umm...how can I put this? No. You are just looking at the Mhz and assuming thats all that matters. CPUs are more than just mhz. The CPUs of the GC and the xbox are just about equal.

And I really doubt that MS are going to recover in Japan because of Sega's support. Do you really think Sega are going want to be the only reason for MS 'success' in Japan? They are most probably going to bail on the xbox.

I don't think that the xbox will be gone anytime soon. MS just has so much money that they can afford to lose lots on it for years before they start making money. But can developers do the same? Sure there are the ones that MS have bought out, but they can't buy out everyone, and it's just going to get too expensive for them to keep paying for games and hardware that aren't making any money.

Eddy, you should stop being so dependant on monopolies. Mac's are quality computers and there are more OS's than just windows for the PC (Linux, FreeBSD, etc).

good point....
i bought the xbox baised on hope that in the next 3 years it'll probably launch some pretty kick ass games.
kinda felt the same way when i bought the ps2 & the gamecube.
i really dont own much games for the newer systems cause they just launched. but i know in time there will be way to many games for me to handle (kinda like with the PSone).
and i can only afford so many damn games for each system.

next year is going to rock tho for gamming. i get to go to e3 and play Zelda go nintendo:thumbsup: :sleeping:

 

[Raging Fuel]

Bagg, how are you getting into E3? You a journalist or do you know someone?

 

[Brokic]

Technically x box is very good, is near twice as good as the ps2. But I dont think its going to work. The sales are being soooo bad, they are selling more ps one than x box on japan!!In the states is doing ok, but still very far from the ps2. The game developers look for selling games and they will develop games for the console which is best sold, in the US there are about 1.5 million X box and 8.2 million ps2, when developing a game will you choose selling 1 million when you could sell 4? The game lineup of the xbox didnt really impress me much, the one of the dreamcast was really good. I think that dreamcast had some good games, and I dont really understand why it failed. We will see how the gamecube works.

yes.. goldeneye was the most original game i've ever seen on a console recently

Goldeneye, original?! *LOL* *ROTFLMAO* :happy:

*faints*

:stupid:

 

[sk8bloke22]

yeh it wasnt exactly original, but it was (for the time) the best console fps. its a bit dry multiplayer now, possibly becos ive played it to death, single player is still pretty good.

 

[adi]

Goldeneyes single player was good but it is nothing compared to a decent first person game on the game like mohaa or half life which were amazing. I'd still play the original half life over any console conversions.

 

[Jaz]

but it is nothing compared to a decent first person game on the game like mohaa or half life which were amazing.

Exactly my point..

 

[sytaylor]

agreed goldeneye did what it was intended to do... it was fun and a challenge, but it didnt immerse you like PC FPS do

 

[Jaz]

THANK-YOU!

 

[Tri-Force]

a note to the misguided.
i used to sell the crap box at Toys R US and do you know what happened to our in store demo setup. . . . IT FROZE. . . A LOT!!!! as long as i could help it i wasn't gonna let some poor little kid get a large piece of coal for Christmass so i told everyone looking to go with the GC or PS2.

 

[Harteex]

So... If you get a bad working Xbox you can just get a new... So what's your point?

 

[B*A*G*G]

Bagg, how are you getting into E3? You a journalist or do you know someone?

me & my brother go every year to promote our shit. my bro is a art director and we own our own studio and comic book store.
i just keep my home page and identity classified cause talking in one of these emu boards is bad for ones reputation.

:stupid:
Riiiiight....how do you know? It gotta be VERY strong to be twice as powerful as the PS2, since the PS2 is in fact powerful yet it is some years old now. Oh, and the power of Xbox is fairly hyped up...I think it....suck :\ (because i had much higher expectations)
I mean, a pc about as stong a the xbox can do the same thing...

And, it really doesn't matter....no one buys a console for the power of the machine itself (well, some do, but they shouldn't be allowed to have so much money to spend ) Most normal people, buy a console because they know that the company that makes it either has great games for it (of course, you've got to consider 3rd party too) or are going to release some good games....
And I really think Nintendo deserve to get on top of this competition (I guess you point at me and say "Nintendo Fanboy" now, eh?:happy They really make NEW and INNOVATIVE games imo.....

if you add the OVERALL specs of the gc and the ps2, itll equal somewhere about the specs of the xbox, that doesnt mean performance is like that. The other OS's cant possibly compete windows. Mac Os is the closest thing to windows. Linux doesnt come close in ease of use, for a wide audience. Even with a skin like GNome.

 

[Raging Fuel]

Didn't you just contradict yourself there? If the OVERALL specs of gc and ps2 are about equal to the xbox, then why isnt the performance like that? Oh, thats right, because you're wrong. And I'm not going to even bother arguing about the OS's anymore, because you've obviously been brainwashed my MS marketing.

You're ashamed to be seen with me.

/crys



Seriously, I hope you do well there, and nick heaps of stuff to send back to us

 

[Eddy]

obviously, you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

AMD 1.4GHZ

INTEL 1.4GHZ

AMD runs better, and faster. Better performance, same specs. I rest my case.

 

[Raging Fuel]

You are just proving yourself wrong again.

The GC uses an IBM PowerPC chipset at 485 MHz.

I couldn't find out what the actually chipset for the xbox was, but its at 733MHz.

As you said, an AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz is better than an Intel P4 1.4 GHz. The GC here look like it would run a lot slower looking at the specs, but as you said you can't just go by the Hz rating. So the GC and the xbox CPUs run at around the same speed.

Thanks for proving my argument for me.
