Title: The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on PS2
Post by: MAKAVELIUK on May 31, 2002, 04:44:26 PM
Is this a mistake or is it really coming out for PS2?

I don\'t remember hearing anything about this at all... but if it is real, that\'s awesome.  I was going to get it on my PC, but I\'d rather play it on my PS2.  Unless they completely screw up the conversion and make it look like Wreckless or something.

It was supposed to be out May 17 on X-box but I see they\'ve pushed it back.  I really hope it doesn\'t suck but mm said it was boring.

I don\'t think that game would end up looking very nice on PS2. With its expansive environments and all. It doesn\'t interest me anyway, so whatever.

Bah, I think it could.  You would just have to actually work at it and program the game to take advantage of the PS2 and not do a quick "money port" like that POS Wreckless game.

Then again, whoever wrote it, did a brilliant job, by far, best script in any game thus far.  Plus it\'s limitless...

Nope, that\'s a negative.

Morrowind is not going coming out for PS2. I emailed Bethesda and Pete Hines sent me that reply.

Sorry...

It\'s a PC game.  Unless programmers get lazy, the game will always be better on PC.  The fact that it\'s coming to Xbox and all Xbox fanboys get fired up over it just shows their stupidity in buying a wanna be PC gaming console.

I bought a console to play console games not PC games.  If the games you really want are on PC, spending 200+ bucks on a console is a waste.  Hence, Xbox=waste of money (as of now)

Erm... when a game is hosted on both PC and console platforms, it\'s a good thing.  It\'ll allow gamers to have a choice on where they play the game.  Those with outdated PCs will be able to play it on a console that doesn\'t require any upgrades, and those with high-end rigs that cost a couple grand will be able to enjoy the benefits that the PC version supplies (better graphics, extra features, etc. or whatever).  It\'s a win/win situation.

And the Xbox is not a "wanna be PC gaming console."  It\'s just a gaming console.  Sheesh...

Ok, but it\'s like this:

You got a PC.  It\'s either up to date or outdated.  If you have a good desktop that is 2-3 years old, you should be able to play most of the games out there.  If ur PC is outdated, man you can get a good one for like a grand and maybe some more cash for updating for the higher end PC games.  Or just upgrade your PC.  A PC is a necessity and they wear out just like consoles do.  But a console is not a necessity in the larger view.  So when you buying a console, it shouldnt be for PC games.  Back in the day, PC werent too standarnized so PC games for consoles made more sense but today thanks to wholesale distributors, PC game developers have some general specs to go buy if they want to hit the majority of the market.

I mean PCs really rule games and online play.  I bought a PS2 cause there is a large number of games and genres that I want on it like FFX, fighting games, GTA3, Dynasty Warriors 3 and so on.  You know, great console exclusive games/genres which Xbox seriously lacks.  Halo is just a simple FPS, Morrowind and few other future Xbox releases are on PC.

So far I have seen a very small number of PC games translated as good on a console.  And I am talking about PC games that are meant to be PC games like RTS games and deep involved RPG/Adventure like Ultima, King\'s Quest (you the type).

As for Xbox being a wanna be PC gaming console, well I saw this new thing they are selling.  It\'s like an imitation keyboard and mouse for Halo Online so that you play it like you play PC FPS games.  Seriously, come on thats just hysterical.  Why dont they just design a computer made just for PC gaming.  Oh wait they did smth of the sort— it\'s called CrapBox.

What the...?  Alright, you gave me a couple paragraphs explaining why you think PCs are necessary and why they\'re home to a lot of great games, but you never told me why it\'s a bad thing that Morrowind is being brought to the Xbox.  Is it because Xbox already has a few PC titles in its library?  Big deal... I gave you my opinion on that situation in my previous post.

C\'mon, you and I both know that the vast majority of gamers enjoy PC controls in their FPS games.  Microsoft (or whoever is designing the mouse/keyboard device) understands that, so they\'re doing something to allow for that sort of control on the Xbox.  Personally, I\'m glad someone is taking gamers\' interests into consideration like that.   Why are you so against it?  And why don\'t you label the PS2 and Dreamcast as "wanna be PCs," because both of them have keyboard and mouse support.  

And... "CrapBox"?  :rolleyes:

Well, if the xbox port is crap (judging on some impressions in the console debate forum) I could only imagine how they would butcher the PS2 version..

Dude you are not understanding.  I am not saying its bad but very pointless and unnecessary.  Why try to imitate smth and make it cost more money when you have the original.  Apparently some ppl do not have worries about money and buying imitations both good and bad.  But in general, it\'s pointless.  If you have problems with playing PC games on PC, then buy an Xbox, but IMO and I think most other ppl\'s as well, that would make you seem like an idiot who is wasting money.  Overall, PC version of the game are always better (except fighting games of course).  Plus the keyboard gives you more flexibility and controls.  And if you are buying that MS keyboard, it is just silly.  It really means you shoud be playing your PC.

Good Comp= $2000
Xbox= $200


For a hard working paycheck to paycheck person, $200 is easier to achieve than $2000.

Morrowind on...

X-Box = utter crap (lack of power*)
PC = a wonderful gaming experience

I don\'t want to sit at some freakin pc and play a video game and I don\'t have to. And I am not going to buy some expensive pc just run some video game. I like having  great pc games on consoles:mad:

Xbox=a great gaming

Billy gunn, i dun think u understand how hard money is to get.especially whenureither in high school/college.i cant afford to get a new computer every 2-3 years, since u say if its outdated by that long ur still in the ok range.i can hardly afford to shell out 300 for my ps2.You gotta remember us cheap youth of the world who cant really afford all the high tech cap that comes out all the time.i man, my computers from 1996 cause i cant get enough money to buy a new one.But i guess it\'s a matter of opinion whether you wanna play a multi platform game on ur pc or console.personally i like consoles cause im not to flexible with the keyboard an the limited buttons on controles really hels, except for quake...

Dude, I\'m still in highschool.

BTW, welcome to the forums.  I got a suggestion for you though, if you get a decent job, paying monthly for a computer might be the right thing for you.  But I could pay it outright cause I had money in savings.  So, patience is really all it took.

So, maybe you are employed, maybe your paying off a car, I know what that\'s like.  But put a little off to the side for yourself every once and a while.
