Doomulation
?????????????????????????
Are you sure? I think fires explained that the gamecube was an easy machine, and pretty much the (or the most) difficult task was the PowerPC processor.
Dissapointed with PC gaming.

The X360 is 10 times more powerful than a shitty ps2 and is only £100 more in my country; so letsee ps2 £100, xbox360 = £200 - you get more bang for your buck with the X360 and right now its the only console of its generation on the market.Miretank said:@Scott: if I had money, i'd surely buy a 360. It's a good console but I still prefer a PS2..
Never-the-less without the X360 the PS3 would be extorsionate in price, sony are going to have to lower their prices dramatically to compete otherwise nobody is going to buy their console. I can't wait till I own a PS3... thats just how I am, I like to own everything - currently I do.
I'd love to see the ps2 pull of perfect dark zero with the same level of detail, would have a framerate of 2fps probably. I don't care what anyone says PDZero is almost as addictive as Perfect Dark itself once you get into it (turn off the waypoints though, too patronising with them on - i like to explore)
Now F.E.A.R on the PC comes close to PDZ's detail level but I do think PDZ has a better look to be quite honest... and F.E.A.R lags more. X360, PS3 and dare I say it the Wheeeeeee!!! will own the PC soon enough

Fanboy eh, not about power? how'd you know your PC isn't that powerful... and you don't know what you're talking about unless you've experienced all manner of consoles - i own them all, X360 is my favourite for the time being but I assume that will change when the wii and ps3 comes out. I see no point in talking about the ps2 vs PC gaming...Agozer said:
We're comparing gaming, currently my pc could own any PS2 graphically and otherwise but I bet yours couldn't - Also bring a real insult next time chump... one liners don't harm me. X360 is comparable to a PC and thats WHY i am talking about it here not because of "fanboy" a PS2 is nothing near a pc's power.
Anti-Fanboys are almost as bad a real fanboys, people who won't even try new consoles like the X360 - just wander around insulting those fortunate enough to like them and call them fanboys... In any case, Like i've said earlier I'll talk about whatever the feck I want and most of the time my posts are relevant to this thread; Chump. "You own a 360? you like it? Ha Fanboy fanboy... *goes back to sucking his thumb*"
I just bought the flippin' thing a few weeks ago so I should have a right to liking it. Also another thing that comes to mind, defending the PS2 in that quote makes you a PS2 fanboy in my books so how'd ya like that? Ya Nokia fanboy. Now theres good insulting... but back to the thread.
Like WhiteX said: PC gaming is becoming more and more pointless and expensive by the day, when you have consoles that rival the pc's power whats the point in priding yourself in playing High-res PC games? (not his exact words but the gist of it)

Another problem with the PC gaming industry is, to get state of the art hardware, you're going to spend atleast $2000, if not more. An Xbox360 is probably more powerful then any home PC, and it can be had for "only" $400. What I do like about PCs however is, since you can constantly upgrade them, you can take advantage of new technology quicker then you can with consoles.

Another one trying to piss me off eh? well it won't work punk - My post count is 20 times yours so you're not interested enough in Emutalk for your opinion to matter... Your post was as pointless as my sig. At least i'm intelligent enough to piss others off in a professional manner!Typify said:
PS2's gameplay is fun but i've always had more fun with my PC gaming than with it - i'll admit it i'm a shallow person, i like graphics - especially games like Need for speed most wanted or black and white 2. It's coming to a point where the consoles themselves are so close to PC's that its hard to tell them apart, price is basically what it comes down to. So for NFS:MW will you choose a £1,300 PC? or a £300 xbox? when both are so close to each other in gameplay & graphics.
My PC has always been my favourite because of how diverse it can be but lately with the rise of things like the xbox360 gaming seems more pointless on the PC than ever before... the PC doesn't have the "edge" anymore. Before the PC was on top now the consoles are dominating it - this will become more evidence when Wii and PS3 come out. You'll see.
I'm using my PC more like a Tivo now, recording my tv shows and doing some video editing. The question of how much I love my Xbox360 has nothing to do with this thread so i'll kindly ask you to keep out of it if thats all you're going to say. Real life is enough of a bitch for me right now without idiots coming in here telling me what to like, oh dear me! I like the xbox360... so what, why should you care? I've talked about it as in comparison to the PC as this thread is about if people actually cared to notice. Don't mind me if I use you a doormat if you go more offtopic with talk on pointless things like fanboyism.

Um, no. The PS2 has a insanely complex and powerful tri-core processor with integrated graphics inside it (the Emotion Engine), whereas the Gamecube has a PowerPC core and a seperate graphics chip.arnalion said:
What happened was soon after the PS2 came out, some bright spark came up with a faster way to do bilinear filtering in hardware, as well as better ways of doing pixel and vertex shaders. Hence why games generally look better on other consoles.
(note: a friend's big uni project involved programming a PS2)

I agree with everything except the fanboy thing. Yes the Xbox360 is more powerful than any system out right now except the pc, but that doesnt mean a thing. If it doesnt get enough good games out then it means nothing having all that power.
And RTS games are just pointless on consoles because the games were designed to be used with a mouse.

Sure, the PS2 has some excellent games but so does the X360; the X360 has more capability than the PS2, it has a hard drive - online play built in as standard, it downloads updates for your games. It supports wireless networks and can connect to your PC to share files. Overall the hardware of the 360 is far superior.
I've quite enjoyed the gaming on the X360 since i've had it, especially Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo by Rareware; Far Cry too! I'm quite satisfyed by the overall experience the X360 provides and if you call me a fanboy for saying that and you don't own or have never owned one you have no right to tell me anything is better or worse.
Its like me dissing the n64 because I have a PS2, if I didn't have an n64 I'd have no right to say that. There is no harm in enjoying your latest toy - My overall point is the X360 is capable of doing things that the PC can do and thats why it has much greater potential than any PS2... maybe it will get RTS and a usb or wireless mouse someday. The thing does have USB ports after all.
PC is a great tool for all tasks, X360 is a great gaming console because to be honest it does outshine my current PC's gaming ability. Which is impressive considering it didn't cost that much cash. If you lot are wondering about my short fuse temper, it is because my mother died and pretty much I will take no shit from anyone right now... I will say exactly what I like, if anyone has a problem with that you'll understand when you go through an event like that.

You keep referring to the hardware differences. Yes the Xbox360 is more superior to the ps2 because its newer. The original Xbox was superior in power than the ps2 and look what happened. It doesnt have anything to do with power. Personally I would take an nes over the ps2 or any other system any day because the nes has games I find more fun.
Also, yes it is possible to add mouse support to the xbox360 or even the ps2 if they wanted to because both do have usb ports. Yes the xbox 360 is closer to being like a pc because it was made by microsoft. The ps3 will also be like a pc so we will see what happens with that.
I am sorry about your mom and I understand about the short temper right now.
