Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: Ethan_Hunt on August 07, 2001, 01:41:05 AM
Ok i was just wondering who is going to get an Xbox?i really carnt make my mind up at the moment,i mean the graphics are looking pretty nice on the Xbox at the moment,but i carnt make up my mind if the game intrest me or not,i mean sure DoA3 looks very good,but i got bored with DoA2 so quick,that i know it will be the same with with new one,and the things that i have heard about Tekken 4 has got me excited.
Halo looks preety cool,but i heard that there was some framrate problems,do you think they will be cleared up,by the time the game comes out?
So what are you all going to do?the problem is i just carnt resist a new console,no matter what i do.

p.s how much better do you think the graphics will actually be on the Xbox,compared  to PS2?do you think there will actually be straight smooth lines on the Xbox?:bounce:

P.SPLEASE DONT START A WAR,THAT ISNT WHAT I STARTED THIS THREAD FOR,I JUST WANT SOME HELP IN MY DECISION,AND IF ANY PEOPLE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME IT IS YOU GUYS. :D

I wouldnt buy it.. Cuz I dont think its worth the money.

I\'d wait a year or so to see which games come out..

About the graphics. I think all consoles will be at the same level..
Something like that.
Have you seen an Xbox game that blows away PS2 or GC?
Look at RS2... Very impressive..

But Im happy with my PS2.. So Im stickin with it :)
But I was thinking of getting a GC (for the exclusive titles).. But Im not sure I could afford it right now.. Gotta save for a few PS2 games :)

I\'d wait for awhile before deciding. See how well it sells and see what the games are like. If it does well then get one.

I\'m not buying an Xbox because I don\'t think the Xbox will get the best titles.  Certainly MS will try to bring in the best titles by entering bidding wars w/ Sony over 3rd parties but overall I think the GCN or the PS2 will have the better games.

Post by: Halberto on August 07, 2001, 08:04:57 AM
I\'m getting one.

DOA3
Halo
Malice
Enclave

and some others

But I don\'t think there is gonna be MGSX, just a fable by the loyal fanboys of XBOX.

I\'ll get an XBox after I see how the games turn out and when it is $200.

Hey Vivi, just FYI. It was made official today. Malice will be on PS2.

I didn\'t say they was comin\' out this year. I plan on buying them on their respective release dates. There is no way I am goin\' to pass up a chance to play a new installment of Panzer Dragoon. The same with Jet Set Radio: Future.
Those two games alone secure my purchase in an Xbox. Then you add Capcom support and you have one happy gamer.

I certainly won\'t buy it the day it comes out, and it won\'t fit in my current TV center. I\'ll have to wait and see...

For me, one word comes to mind when I think of XBOX and its titles at the moment:




BOOOOOOOOOORING
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: datamage on August 07, 2001, 01:28:02 PM
I\'m getting one. Whether I get one @ launch or not is still up for grabs. I think I\'ll get the GC @ launch and wait till the SEGA games hit the Box before I get it.

- end transmission.

Post by: ddaryl on August 07, 2001, 03:47:54 PM
I\'ll wait since it obvious Xbox will need a year to get rolling

and there is no way in hell I\'ll have enough time this year to play anything on the Xbox, I\'ll be more then happy playing PS2 games for a while

I\'ll be taking the wait and see approach, but I\'m definetly interested. No reason for me to rush out and get one at launch since my gaming needs will be adequately met

Post by: Tshirts on August 07, 2001, 03:53:10 PM
Nope not for me this year.  Next year definitely.

I might pick up a Gamecube if I can, but I know I will be happy with my PS2 and DC for now.
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: Toxical on August 07, 2001, 04:27:51 PM
I\'m gettin one for sure, maybe not in the first 2 weeks though, and you won\'t see me in line... :D
but i like the DOA3, and Halo titles so far.

I will get GC at lauch for sure though. :bounce:
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: Bladez on August 07, 2001, 04:29:52 PM
Nope.  No Xbox this year probably 2002.  Raw is War might not be the best wrestling game do to it doesn\'t have HIAC, TLC, or anything like that.  Cage match is about the only thing I\'ve heard that I would like right now.  So right now the PS2 is going to have to be mine yet again this year.  Smackdown! 3, MGS2,  TM:B for PS2.  Xbox MSX2-Solid Snake, maybe RIW,  and if they have a Twisted Metal: Black on Xbox. :bounce:

So, livinginclip

2 non-exclusive games on the xbox secured your purchase?
Why waist 300 dollars for 2 games? That will eventually be found on the PS2 or NGC?

Why must you be so negative constantly? :rolleyes:

Personally, none of Sony\'s 2nd party games interest me, so I bought that system due to third party support.

Do you have proof that those games will be on another system? NO . You assume they will. I personally would rather not take the risk on missing out on those games.  I would also rather play them on the system they was designed for, as most ports are less then exciting. Why would I pass the chance up to own a new game system with support by my two favorite companies? Sega and Capcom. I will also buy a GC just because of support by Sega and Capcom.

There is also other games on the Xbox that interest me. I just named the ones that interest me the most. There is others though. OddWorld, Project Ego, Project Gotham Racing and etc.

I gotta see what the xbox will end up like before I get it. The only good titles I see in it are the launch titles and the titles that are comming out the rest of the year. If it does good ill get it next year because right now I dont see any future in it at all.

If they were not going anywhere else, then they would call them exclusive... Right now they are called "premire" titles...
So, while I have no proof they will be on another platform, however there is great almost guanteed chance they will be

Wow what a mixed bag there is here,i really carnt make my mind up either,i dont know weather to get one a launch or wait and see how things turn out!
Also there is quiet a few launch games comming out with the Xbox,does anyone have the full list?
And if the games were $35 would that change your mind?
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: The Answer #3 on August 08, 2001, 12:42:03 AM
Ehtan, just wait awhile. Better to miss out playing on it straight away than to blow $300 on it.
I\'m sure the PS2 will have enough to keep you happy until you see if the xbox is doing ok

It is very hipocrital everyone in here saying don\'t get xbox at launch because the games are not worth it..and telling ppl to wait because ps2 will have better software...when none of the xbox games have been finalized so who is too say how good the software is..but that is  not whats funny. What is funny is Dreamcast had a kick ass line up of games when ps2 launched with a horrible launch of games..but everyone went out and bought it then tried to justify it bye lying to themselves. It is ironic how ppl can go out an buy a ps2 who\'s software was finalized and reviewed and everyone new Dreamcast had the better line up, but still bought the ps2.

But anyways I am gettting xbox at launch  with...HALO,NEW LEGENDS,NFL FEVER,WWF RAW IS WAR, AND DOA3. And maybe Munch.
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: DoubleJ_86 on August 08, 2001, 06:13:29 AM
The best buys for anyone will definitely be PS2 and GC. Xbox is on shaky ground, and it could go either way. It could totally bomb, or it could be a huge success. Only time will tell.

My advice to you: If you already have a PS2, it will hold you over until you get an idea of the fate of the Xbox.

i wont get an x box at launch. the launch games dont really intrest me, halo is the only one that INTERESTED me, but then they announced that it WONT BE ONLINE, so that killed my hopes.

all the games i want to play are coming out on ps2. so its all good.

exept my ps2 is in boston getting fixed.
so it SUCKS!:crying::crying::crying:

Thank you, Sam.


Chrono, even if they was called "exclusive" it doesn\'t matter with third party developers. Resident Evil: Code Veronica was "exclusive" to the DC, now wasn\'t it? Or so everyone thought.

I really could care less. The others would take probably a year or so to port, so I would rather play them A.S.A.P

Jet Grind Radio Future
Sega GT 2
Halo
Unreal Championship
Malice
Metal Gear Solid X
Silent Hill X
SSX Tricky
Onimusha Genma
Panzer Dragoon 4
Amped
Azurik
Nightcaster
Galleon (this was canceled on PS2)
Munch (read above)
Crazy Taxi Next
Project Gotham
Project Ego
House of the Dead 3
DOA 3
Crash
Dino Crisis 3
 

I know all these aren\'t coming out on launch, but I know they are coming.  This is enough for me to get an Xbox.

I still haven\'t found a reason to get a PS2...Jak and Dexter looks good, but I\'m sure Xbox will have its\' own platform games that impress.  I will buy DOA3, Munch, SSX Tricky, and Azurik at launch.

Right now it\'s a tough decision.  GC will be mine, just not at launch.  Starfox Adventures is the only game I want at launch,  
that and Wave Race.  I think I\'ll wait until Zelda, Metroid, and the next Donkey Kong come out...

I have about 6 games I want to get for PS2 in the next year.  (That I know of), and I would rather get those 6 games than another system.  It\'s safe to say that there will be no xbox in my house unless I win the lottery or something.  In that case, and xbox would be one of the first things I\'d buy with my winnings.

I dont think most of them are saying it WILL be stink. They are just saying you should wait and see what it\'s like.

I didnt do that. I dont know about the others but I only got my PS2 about 3 months ago cause it didnt have any games I wanted apart from SSX. But now it\'s got heaps.

no reason to get a PS2?
Your kidding?

You mean to tell me these games are not worth the purchase of a system.. all of these games COMING OUT THIS FALL

I think its rather you don\'t want a ps2 for OTHER reasons

Post by: Ginko on August 09, 2001, 02:28:32 AM
I think it\'s rather that I have a different taste in games and you don\'t like it!:P

Honestly only three PS2 games have me a little excited, but still not enough to buy one.  ICO, Jak and Daxter, and WipEout Fusion.  

Stop being such a Fanboy Chrono, it\'s sickening.
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: Chrono on August 09, 2001, 11:42:48 AM
>"Stop being such a Fanboy Chrono, it\'s sickening"

The only reson you would like the xbox lineup this fall over the ps2 lineup is beacuse your a graphics whore.. I hope you like pretty graphics and no gameplay.. (DOA3). That must be why you like the xbox, you don\'t like gameplay. Your a pathetic gamer.

And if you don\'t have a ps2, why the hell are you on this forum? there are things called XBOX forums you fanboy.

So you don\'t want MGS2, Silent Hill 2, Jak and Daxter, Ace Combat 4, Airblade, Baldur\'s Gate: Dark Alliance, Devil May Cry, Dropship, Grand Theft Auto 3, ICO, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, Madden NFL 2002, Maximo: Ghosts to Glory, NCAA Football 2002, GT3, Smuggler\'s Run 2, Splashdown, Spyhunter, State of Emergency, SSX: Tricky, Stretch Panic, Tony Hawk\'s Pro Skater 3, Wipeout Fusion, WWF SmackDown!: "Just Bring It!",
Next Year: Final Fantansy X, Virtua Fighter 4

And would rather have a few xbox titles this fall with no gameplay like DOA3, and games that promised online play but did not deliver like halo, or games like Muches who have never made a AAA game in their life.. yet you expect it to be the best game ever.

I don\'t care if you get an xbox, but your igoring the best console this fall, which the only reason I could find would be Graphics. You will now be called Graphics Whore whenever I address you in this forum.
Title: Who here is getting a Xbox?
Post by: Ginko on August 09, 2001, 12:01:58 PM
Yes, you are right.  I don\'t want most of those games.  Virtua Fighter 4, Jak and Dexter, and ICO look really cool though.  I\'ll probably end up getting a PS2 when it\'s under 200$.

But Xbox, I\'m all excited about it.  Just like when I got my DC.  It\'s got such an interesting lineup.  I happen to like the Dead or Alive series, so 3 should be a blast.  Munch will be great, I have every faith.  Then Project Gotham looks like so much fun.  Project Ego looks to revolutionize the way we play games.  Then I can get Metal Gear, Crash, Malice, SSX Tricky, and Silent Hill on Xbox.  

Oh, also Artic Thunder (I love the Thunder series), Jet Grind Radio Future (huge fan of the DC game), Devil May Cry is rumoured to be on Xbox also.    And what about Namco, they are sure to announce a big title, I\'m guessing Soul Cally 2 or Ridge Racer 5.  Panzer Dragoon 4 will be on Xbox first (maybe only), I can\'t pass that up.  Then the rumours of Skies of Arcadia X (where ever this ends up, so do I).  Then there is Fate, Black and White, Amped, Azurik, Sega GT2, etc.

I\'m very excited with Xbox and can\'t wait to get one.  Don\'t worry Chrono, I\'ll get a PS2 someday...when it gets interesting for me.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on August 09, 2001, 12:10:30 PM
Chrono , this isn\'t the Anti-Xbox forum. What console Ginko wants to buy is up to him. Maybe he wants OddWorld? He can\'t get that on the PS2 , now can he? And so what if he doesn\'t want Jax and Dexter? Neither do I .


No gameplay? Have you played them? No, you haven\'t. Have you played Halo? Jet Set Radio: Future? OddWorld? No. Therefor, you assume they have no gameplay and anyways, who are you to judge what other people should like and shouldn\'t like? That is pathetic. So, is your judgement on "graphics whore". Maybe he does like better graphics. Maybe not. Either way, it is his personal choice . You are in no position to pass judgement.

You have also been on these forums long enough that while it says PSX2CENTRAL most of us are multi-console owners and are excited about all systems. That is one of the great things about these forums. You don\'t have to own a PS2 to share your opinion. And while you call him an Xbox fanboy - he never said the PS2 was trash. Just that none of the games interested him YET.

When exactly did you become such a fanboy Chrono? I honestly don\'t remember you being one a few months ago.

Not at first, no way.  Besides, they aren\'t all coming out on launch day.  

I have 500$ set aside right now just for the Xbox.  That should get me a Xbox, remote, another controller, and 2 games (DOA3, and Munch).  

Then Amped, Jet Grind Radio Future, Malice, Project Gotham, and Azurik should hit before the year is over.  I will buy them as they come out.
