Title: Multi-console
Post by: on November 13, 2002, 04:47:08 PM

How many of you are multi-console? (PS2, and Gamecube here)

Quick question: If a game came out on three consoles(or 2 that you own) which one would you pick?

I was recently faced with that same problem when buying Tony Hawk 4. I just couldn\'t resist, so I bought if for PS2, is their any difference?

I only have a Gamecube, as far as the current consoles go.  I do have a PC though.  I\'ll likely have have PS2 soon too.  Would have gotten it already, but my money ended up going elsewhere.  Anyway, I\'d get the game for my Gamecube over the PC.  I\'d get it for the GC over any other console, if I had others, as well, because I like the GC controller best.

I have GameCube and Xbox.

If a game is multi-platform, and I want it.. I read reviews and play whichever one is better. If they\'re the same, I\'ll choose based on controller. (i.e. platformers are better on GCN, FPS are more suited to the Xbox controller.. etc..)

I have GC and PS2, I chose THPS4 on ps2 cause of the online option. If it wasnt online than i\'d probaly pick it for GC cause its a newer system and some games have better graphics.

I own a ps2, gamecube, Game Boy Advance, and xbox, and some older generation consoles.

Overall I would have to say I prefer my ps2 collection. Or atleast that is what my wallet keeps saying.

So far as which game i would buy if it came out on all 3 consoles. It would depend if 1 of them had extra godies, or where it looked best.

I\'m multi-console. I own a Dreamcast and GameCube, with a PS2 on it\'s way after Christmas sometime and probably an Xbox later on down the road. Still avidly play older PC games, and have a whole backlog of current PC games I wanna buy once I update my hardware.

As far as what multi-console game version I would pick.. it depends on a lot of factors. Generally, I use my view of the console market as a good indication of what version I\'ll buy. For example.. GameCube has Sonic Adventure 2 with alot of features like GBA connectivity to both Sonic Advance and the downloadable Mini-Games in PSO. I would much rather have Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast tho. It\'s Sonic for christ\'s sake.. he BELONGS on Sega hardware. Same with Skies of Arcadia.. that\'s a DC game, depsite whatever other consoles it\'s on. Malice is an Xbox game, despite the fact it\'s getting ported to PS2. Crash started on a Sony console.. he BELONGS on a Sony console. Ect...

Right now I just have my PS2. I wish I still had one of my Saturns (sold one of them, then the other one quit working). I\'m also considering getting a GC, and then maybe a 3DO. During the Saturn, PSX, 3DO days one of my good friends had a 3DO, and I miss some of those games.

PS2
X-Box
Gamecube
N-64
Saturn
Dreamcast
And my beloved PC. Nuff said

Anyway to the question for me PC first, toss up between X-Box and PS2 depending on the type of game. For example Spider man went to X-Box and NFS went to the PS2. Gamecube only gets exclusives.

This generation:

XBox
GameCube
Playstation2
Dreamcast

I\'d like to tell people that I would get a game because I prefer the PS2 controller (which is partly true), but in reality, I definately feel the way SonyFan does.

I got TS2 for PS2, because TS1 was on it.  If Splinter Cell was to be released at the same time on PS2 and XBox, I\'d get the XBox version.

I\'d love to be even more multi than I am now, but with the XBox having 2 games that interest me and me spending all my money on SNES, Genesis, N64, GBA, DreamCast and PS2 games...

But yah, I\'m a multi-man :)
