hahahahahahahahahahaha, your funny  :D

dont ban him please...i wanna have some fun with him

NPYYZ, please, type up a nice and concise article as to why you think XBox will be the number one console, i guarantee you I along with many others will absolutely destroy what you have to say...and you honestly believe the **** you spouted out??  Wealtered your profile because we were scared of what you were saying?? hahahahha, dip****  :D

even the biggest XBox fanboys of this board are more than well aware that XBox has very little to no chance of winning  :D  bwa haha

p.s. I wear lace panties purely as a comfort issue!!  there is nothing wrong with it, nor is it immasculating!..... :(

I have to laugh at those of you who run this message board.
I came to this board and posted My opinion about the future of console gaming, which is in short that the XBOX will soon be the number one console on the market. It already surpasses any thing the weaker, slower ,and jaggie looking PS2 can do. You morons will see in the coming months that the games for the XBOX will leave your little PS2\'s in the dust. I am right and you know it. Why else would you pathetic little pussies altar my profile with your foolish toll alert picture. Hey bring it on losers, do you think that will discourage me from posting the truth here? It won\'t. Just because you know you spent your money of the lesser system , don\'t get so angry with me for pointing that out to you. This board was amusing for a bit, but I prefer to converse with real people who have the backbone to defend what they believe without resorting to putting labels on others.
Your avatars should be a pair of flowered panties, to show how weak and pathetic you truly are, but what should I expect, you are PS2 buttboys. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I don\'t want to detract from your little rant on NYYPZ...

I don\'t know if you stated this to take a direct hit on him in hopes of getting a response or you truly believe this...What I really want to know is why you think Xbox has to be in first place to succeed?

If you were doing it just for fun, then I\'d rather not get into it...

NPYYZ stated (before Ryu editted it) that  he believe XBox would win this console war.  As far as im concerned the XBox is already a success in that it built up the hype  and now people are buying it (and if it hasnt been released near them, they are interested)..

but i was mostly just trying to get him going Ginks

my question...what part of my post suggested that i thought it had to be number 1 to succeed?

nice pic npyyz  :)  laugh at the people who run this forum all you want, theres a reason why were one of the most successfull PS2 forums around

yer a fool for all to see, so you win the "lesson in ignorance" award to has been so coveted in the past

you suffer from the classic form of "console envy"

do you REALLY think its necesarry to argue over which box of plastic and silicone is better?  

"wait till E3", "wait 6 months", "wait till 2003"  is all you frickin xbox zealots can say.  thats right, all you can do is wait.  in the meantime, my PS2 is getting HEAVY usage while my xbox collects dust, and begs me to show it some attention.

so dont forget yer slogan, "wait till E3! xbox will ownx0r joo!" , just like you cried last year

so maybe youll take the hint that yer ignorant, full of crap, noone likes you, yer VERY hypocritical, and then leave

try going outside for a bit also

hey!!  WTF is up widdyo?  theres nothing wrong with arguing over which is better!!  grr, its great fun defending which console you prefer...as long as it is done with facts and proper debate and is more so about games than graphics..

while its great fun playing games and enjoying them to their fullest, i have become accustomed to the lifestyle of defending games that i enjoy/consoles that i enjoy from ignorant fools.  To me thats part of the whole experience now, and can help you learn a lot more about the game..

as far as im concerned, feel free to debate over things which you prefer... feel free to destroy the fanboys who post pointless and useless babble.. feel free to be those fanboys (NPYYZ) so we can have some fun dammit!

the PS2 was groundbreaking in all regards

the xbox and GC just pushed the envelope farther

this thread is about insulting npyyz, lets keep out argument about PS2 vs xbox elsewhere  :)

i didnt mean "arguing" persay

i dont... i think mm is referring to such examples of the classic tale of XBox groupies getting their hopes up over Square...oohhhhh they were so excited "Tommorrow they are announcing their developers...you can bet your ass Square are fully supporting Xbox" etc. etc.  what happened??  NO SQUARE...but wait "nonono.. there are still some more developers to be announced in the next few weeks...just wait til then..you\'ll see, your precious Square will have joined Billy!" etc. etc.  what happened??  NOTHING...then it continued, wait til E3, wait til Bill grows pubes, wait til Bobs_Hardware gets laid...what happened....IT NEVER HAPPENED (referring to me getting laid) and there are still XBox groupies insisting Square will join Xbox..

this is but one example..

i dont remember the PS2 being quite the same, although i do see your point..

Yah, Ridge Racer 5 and TTT were really groundbreaking...oh, I forgot Fantavision...

Anyway, the PS2 didn\'t get any big games until Rayman 2 released in Jan, then Devil May Cry in March and GT3 in June...This was way back when DC was still lively and all the fanboys came in here saying how the games looked the same blah blah blah...Your right, this isn\'t the place to get into it...:)

Yeah, but by the same Token mm, If Sega had pushed the Dreamcast in the same way they did with the Genesis things might not have turned out that way. Sega made a lot of fukkups this generation. The hardware and the games were what they really got right. I\'d say the Dreamcast did pretty damned well considering the opposition and it\'s backing.

*Bows head in remembrance...

PS2 was heavily compared to DC when it first arrived...In fact some games were touted as being below DC standards...In what way was PS2 truly groundbreaking??

And some DC games were below N64 standards.  That means nothing.  Just looking at the top games of each system, the PS2 was ahead.  I wouldn\'t consider the PS2 launch ground breaking (actually, I wouldn\'t consider any console launch ground breaking, because IMO none of them ever have been), but the PS2 launch was still very good.

ok, i am a newbie on this site, i got my ps2 early this year, and its a damn good system, the one and only reason why i didn\'t pick the xbox was because the ps2 had more games currently and more upcoming games that i wanted.  the xbox is a great system, it has really nice graphics because of its GPU and a built in HD, that is just plain nice.  the system has great potential, but until i see that great potential, i am sticking with the ps2.
and for those that use the "graphics are WAY better on the xbox than ps2" arguement, all i have to say is, STFU!!  look at the psone, i dont care what anybody says, the graphics on that system suck ass, but is the console still around?  do they still make games for it?  it beat the N64 and DC, its like 8 years old now, and people still love it, what does that say?  people dont give a rats ass about graphics, its all in the game content.
the xbox also has to earn some respect in the business, like how sony has with the psone.  if M$ can sell 20million+ xboxs by the beginning of next year, they got my respect.

Well this is just my opinion, but I was talking about graphically.  TTT/DOA2:HC beats any fighting game on the Dreamcast.  Timesplitters beats any FPS on the Dreamcast.  SSX probably beats any snowboarding game on the Dreamcast (was there even a snowboarding game on the Dreamcast?  Heh. ;))  I think the loads of crap on the PS2 launch is what gave it the "PS2 is worse than Dreamcast" reputation, but there were a few standout games that look nice even to this day.

I heard the DOA 2 games looked pratically identical...Either way this has strayed off topic.

The debate I was trying to make was in game content on or around PS2 launch...it was lackluster to say the least.  I didn\'t see why Xbox owners shouldn\'t say "Wait till E3", "Wait a few more months", etc. as mm had stated.  The system has already eclipsed the PS2 graphically (as did the PS2 to the DC) and now we wait for more games.  That\'s exactly how the PS2 went about, why should it be a different story for Xbox...

You mean in 21 months...the PS2 has been out since March 2000.  PS2 hit a little over 10 million in one full year, hopefully Xbox can hit this also...

i dont see the xbox eclipsing the PS2 graphically

a year aside in technology, i dont see it impossible to not put halo on the PS2.  they couldnt even get it to run at 60 FPS on the xbox.  what kinds of powerhouse console was the xbox "supposed" to be

oh snap!  im bashing the xbox again  see what you went and made me do  :P

like i said, PS2 raised the bar for console graphics, the xbox pushed it a little farther ahead, but not higher

That\'s just it, Halo is out right now on Xbox and is graphically superior.  Wreckless is out right now and it\'s amazing to look at...

I don\'t think PS2 raised the bar, just pushed it like Xbox.  Like I said earlier, the games at PS2 launch weren\'t that impressive or set apart from DC.  It wasn\'t until just recently (GT3, J&D, FFX, MGS2) that the PS2 has start to show what it can do.

but you have to think in terms of time

PS2 was launched in japan when, early 2000?  shouldnt we have expected the graphics to be a little less then what we have in 2002?  we cant make excuses for the xbox.  we should expect more.  a 300$ early 2000 console vs a VERY late 300$ 2001 console?

the PS2 launch games were way past what the DC offered

SSx, Kessen, Summoner, Timesplitters, etc

I see what you\'re trying to say, the time PS2 and the Xbox systems launch, it took PS2 to have amazing AAA games awile to get where it is now and the Xbox took only 3 months to have some AAA games? Is that it?  =)

Woah, woah, woah.  Are you trying to say that Wreckless was an AAA game?  Heh, going by that definition of AAA, Shrek would also be considered an AAA game. ;)  The Xbox does have an AAA game though -- Halo.

Sony was trying something new.  That\'s their excuse.  Without companies taking risks, this industry will not grow.  I don\'t know if Sony\'s risk will turn out to be worth while or not, but at least they are playing around with new ideas.

Correction:  GT3 and FFX came before DMC. ;)

Timesplitters didn\'t have framerate issues either -- smooth 60 fps even in 4 player deathmatch with 10 bots. :)  And who is the one who decides what games are good or not?  I loved Timesplitters.  IMO, it is the best console multiplayer FPS.  Does it matter if it got in the 8\'s from reviewers (yes, it was also rated pretty high).  Of course not.  The main thing is that I liked it (or in MM\'s case, he liked it).

Just to add a little fuel to this fire, here\'s (http://www.eurogamer.net/content/i_crash) a quote from Rage Software (currently developing Crash [no, not the Bandicoot ;) ]).
Quote
We\'ve found a few problems along the way, such as the quality of the RGB output on our development kits and the fact that the machine isn\'t as fast as Microsoft promised us it would be...

Now think about that statement logically.  If they are claiming it\'s not as fast as Microsoft said it was, wouldn\'t that mean that they have run into some problems while developing their game?  Could developers already be reaching the Xbox\'s pinnacle?  Hmmm...  It really woudn\'t be that surprising given the Xbox\'s well known architecture/familiar graphics libraries.

IMO, these Xbox games Graphically looks AAA to me.  I\'m I missing somthing here?  1st generations?  Only almost 4 months out?

Yyyyouch, 7 pics... mods ain\'t gonna like that... :p Yeah, they\'re pretty \'n\' all.

Lessee:

Graphically A³ = Eyecandy
Eyecandy = Awesome to look at
Awesome to look at + lame game mechanics + myriad things that can go wrong with a game = A game that I let die on the storeshelf

Nice to look at + good game underneath = On my shelf
Great game underneath + [enter valid variable for graphics quality, ranging from \'dung\' to \'jawdropping\'] = Hawke in front of the telly/monitor more than he should be
Great game underneath + Very nice to look at = Hawke disappears from this plane of existence


From this, I deduce that "Graphically AAA" means, quite accurately, squat, in my books at least. I\'m not into gaming because of graphics. It\'s because of games. Graphics add to the experience, they don\'t make it *thoughts immediately soar to Skies of Arcadia and the beautiful scenery discovered lately* *sigh* *switches on the DC*

PStwo, there is no such thing as "graphically AAA."  There is only AAA, and not AAA.  If you call a game AAA because of its graphics, then just about every Xbox game would be called AAA -- which kind of defeats the purpous of distinguishing games as AAA or not AAA.  An AAA game needs good graphics, but even more importantly it needs good controls, sound, and GAMEPLAY too.

And just incase you\'re not sick of it yet, AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA. :p

Edit: hey, the emoticons are back on. :)

A phrase most xbox owners were uttering after playing their only AAA title, Halo, on their x-box and finding out that there *gasp* was nothing else left worth getting.

By popular demand, I re-edited this numbnuts post and placed the information he said (or rather drooled) back into his original post.

Those halo and doa3 screens dont look that great even though i would have to say that doa3 looks good in reality. But when did that make it an AAA title??? And as much as ppl bash the ps2 launch i have to say that i had a blast playing some of those games. I have a dc and the graphics on ps2 were fine to me. TTT was fixed for the american release, timesplitters was a riot, Fantvision looked kool and i enjoyed it. The beautiful scenery with some oddly addictive gameplay, especially in 2pl mode. I luved rr5. I like racing games and i like rr so.. Whats really weird is that i even enjoyed Orphen. lol. W/e all im saying is that ppl just love to find the bad in things, i just say shut up and play. One mans trash can be another mans treasure. I think xbox is ok but i really think, even with ps2\'s competittion that it still has so many promises and i luv it to death. Its funny how topics like this bring out the true colors in people.

Well since xbox has launched how many AAA games have been released for PS2? 1, MGS2 (one could argue GTA3, but I really think this is a horrible game, anyway...).  I think Halo is the better game from a replayability standpoint, but that doesn\'t matter.

You people have such high standards for AAA games, that there really can only be 2 or 3 a year.  That\'s fine, and I agree, but saying that doesn\'t invalidate every other xbox game that has been released.  There have been some very fine games released, that while may not be AAA, are very strong and fun.

How many AAA titles have been released for GC?  None if the criteria is system sellers.

How many are coming up for PS2 or xbox this year?

I\'m just asking for perspective.

Heheh.. 15fps..  :D

I don’t know what qualifies a game as "AAA".. But I do know what good games are.. (GTA3, MGS2, ICO, Jak and Daxter (some hate it.. I love it), DMC ect)

Now.. Back to 10fps MoH:AA :)

I\'d rather you stay out of all xbox talks, all you do is spew your opinion of Halo, which is quite funny, theres rarely ever slow down and the 4 player matches are great, much better than Bond or PD.  And when comparing it to PC shooters, thats not fair, were talking about consoles here, so Halo is a great console FPS

Well beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Personally I still consider DOA2:Hardcore the best fighting game ever made and maybe DOA3 would top that if I had a chance to play it more.  But I digress...

Anyway HALO is fun as hell.  ESPECIALLY co-op.  I\'m beating the game on Heroic and after this I\'ll go for Legendary.  mm, you may not play it all the time but I make up for you. :D

And Wednesday it\'s WWF  RAW

:laughing: Bob, I\'m just trying to say that AAA games have IMO,  3 Keys to make a game become a AAA title.  

I think it\'s

1) Replay value
2) Visual
3) Gameplay

Don\'t tell me that Visual is not importaint because you show me a game that is a AAA title that looks bad and became a AAA title.  

So Visual as you can see the Xbox screens I posted was the best looking Xbox games that are here now.  


 AAA VISUALS I ment when I posted the Xbox screens shots.  But I know some of those screen it not a real AAA title. :D

Ironfist,  you do make good points but they have nothing to do with the arguement.  The debate was about graphics, not gameplay...

Point is that PS2 had it\'s share of problems and let downs only to be reconciled later with quality games that really start to push the system...same will happen with Xbox.  You\'re trying to read way too much into it...this is a rather lighthearted and shallow debate...

Quote
Could developers already be reaching the Xbox\'s pinnacle? Hmmm... It really woudn\'t be that surprising given the Xbox\'s well known architecture/familiar graphics libraries.


Or could it be wishful thinking on your part for some strange reason??  Do you seriously believe the Xbox is at it\'s peak or even close too?  

Quote
Sony was trying something new. That\'s their excuse. Without companies taking risks, this industry will not grow. I don\'t know if Sony\'s risk will turn out to be worth while or not, but at least they are playing around with new ideas.


What\'s your point?  The debate was comparing the launches of the systems as to the graphic quality of the launch games and soon after...

Quote
Correction: GT3 and FFX came before DMC


In what country? ?  devil may cry came out in March or April of 2001...right?  Then Gran Turismo and FFX came out that summer in Japan?  Either way this is pointless, the debate was about launch games and as to whether the Xbox\'s stacked up...

visuals are not important to make a AAA game, it just so happens (by coincidence perhaps??) that the very best games are made by the most talented developers, hence why they have bettter graphics..

and your post was COMPLETELY irrelivent to the post, even your post then made very little sense..

gah!  you frustrate me!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i also agree the term AAA is used entirely too much...as far as im concernened now, AAA games should really be considered the very best...

for me, these games include Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Zelda and the likes...the very biggest and best games..

halo is a great game, i would never say it wasnt

but you CANNOT say there isnt any slowdown

it runs at 30 FPS tops, and ive seen it slow down to a frickin crawl in two player when we throw multiple grenades

no excuse for a powerhouse console

if i cant blame micro$oft, then i blame bungie

Wow, I just read what NPYYZ wrote (thanks Ryu!).  Wow.. we really pissed the chode smoker off didn\'t we? Guess having your ignorance pointed out to you over and over again instead of learning from your mistakes will do that to a person.

Why are all the fun Trolls mentally unstable? He sounds like he\'s about to climb a belltower with a sniper rifle and start picking us off. The thing I don\'t understand is.. why is he so upset? If it was nothing, he\'d just brush it off and post rational, humorous, or maybe even a fact filled flame for once... but no.. he makes a big deal out of it. Truth must really hurts huh NYPPZ.

It took you that long to read my post?  If you think for a minute that I take this board seriously you are mistaken. I come here to piss you people off and to get a laugh, which is exactly what I get. My life doesn\'t revolve around what people on a message board think. I don\'t know you people, and I could give a ratfs ass what you think. Some of you people just don\'t get it. ( however there are a few that do) This is nothing but a  joke to me.  Think about it for a minute, now really try to read this part and understand it. I have been bashing the PS2 and telling all of you how the XBOX is sooooo much better. (it is and you all know it) I do have a PS2, I spent the money on it, and I like it. It just amuses me to see how you get your panties in a wad when someone talks up another system. Yes ,I find it humorous. At the moment I am using my Dreamcast more then my PS2. Does that get you all excited too????? Are you going to tell me how the PS2 is selling better then the Drearamcast, and how the PS2 has way more games available for it.  Thatfs all you got over the XBOX,  more games, and as I said, that will change.

And a question for Sonyfan, Do you Swallow????

Hey Bobs-Hardware , your posts are so absolutely moronic they don\'t even deserve a response.

you think yer actually better than anyone?  look at every post in this worthless thread  and see that EVERY single person is mocking you.  even the fellow newbs got on the ship and made you look stupid.  not to mention you have a troll alert picture under yer name. you even make the fellow xbox zealots look bad, with yer undocumented [facts].  you "know" the xbox will win the "console war"?  well good for you.  we honestly dont care about yer "opinion" and will continue to mock and defactualize you.

you think we get offended when you say the xbox is the best console?  :rolleyes:   what do you think this is, ign.com forums?

at any rate, yer the loser for coming back and checking on this thread.  OBVIOUSLY, it meant alot for you to do so

so keep laughing kid, the jokes on you

Your so right mm, this means so much to me, I can no longer hold back the tears. I am crushed. I wanted so much to be the best of friends with all of you. I was hoping that some day you would all let me join up with you in the basement of the Science building. I thought if I came here and dazzled you with all my fancy booklearnin\' you would want to be my friend too. But now I see that because I love the Better, Bigger, Faster, more Powerful XBOX we will never be true gaming brothers, OOOHHHH MY, it\'s just such a shame, I can\'t go on, The sorrow, the pain, the misery......

See ya round  Max Payne awaits, on the XBOX of course.

you dont put up a real debate because you know you are wrong (its the same logic you use against us  :p)

step forward little boy, try and persuade us with your \'opinion\' as to why the faster, better and more powerful XBox without as many good games as the PS2 is better??  :laughing:

moron..

Ginko,

I could honestly say the same for almost everything you\'ve stated about xbox vs PS2 in this thread. But I won\'t, knowing love is blind.

Besides I\'d rather not see this thread go off topic any more than it already has. It\'s supposed to be about bashing NPYYZ, remember?
