well, since their is now a ton of hype in the hardcore gaming crowd i have a question. All the next gen systems have strengths and weaknesses. So what does the ps2 do better than x-box or game cube ? what does gamecube do better ?
-
GameCube is a texture and lighting monster. Gamecube can do 8 textures at once while xbox can do 4. Also Xbox and GameCube have texture compression of 6:1
-
Gamecube IMO is the better buy. Nintendo have done a really good job in designing the system.
And with Mario on the way, something special will happen.
-
I think PS2 can handle good AI with its emotion engine.
I\'m not sure about that but so I\'ve heard.
But I\'ll let some technical-peep speak for me...
---
-
I think Xbox outclasses PS2 in AI. As far as AI, physics, graphics, and everything else, I think it is pretty much only a battle between GameCube and XBox.
-
The PS2\'s main strength is releasing lots of games.

then I think it\'s not an ace... I don\'t have money anyways and I don\'t like too big selection.
I think there\'s something else to it... Something because almost everyone predicts that eventually the war will be reduced to PS2 vs. X-box...

PS2 and X-box? I doubt that because PS2 doesn\'t have any huge advantages over the competition.

hmm
suddenly ps2 doesnt seem to mighty.

ElAsesino,tell me why PS2 is out from the competition?
Try to explain to me with intelligent arguments,and stop to your childish foolishnesses! (I\'m sure your 12-14 years old...ops...Disregard This...there are so many cool teenagers...)
My arguments why PS2 will be strong in the competition:
1) Exclusive games like the other Two : PS2=GT3,ZOE,FFX,FFXI,Tekken 4,AC4,Ring of Red,Naughty Dog\'s secret titles. GC=Mario,Zelda,Metroid,...X-Box=OddWorld inhabitants\'s exclusive titles and many others...it\'s just a matter of taste! DC? If Sega will continue to produce games like Shenmue...well...we\'ll see really interesting things...
So,if you look at Great Games...you can choose indifferently among PS2,DC,GC and X-Box!
And if you look at the console which will produce more Games...well...PS2 in the first place and X-Box second...
...so...I\'ve proved PS2 will be strong in the competition!
2) If you aren\'t a "True Videogames-Lover",and you\'re looking at a "homely-Entertainment-System...well,your going to opt first for PS2 and Indrema,and then X-Box!
So ElAsesino...don\'t you think that PS2,Indrema L600 and X-Box have more chances to Win against the GC if you look at a console like a Homely-Entertainment-System?
Again,I\'ve proved that PS2 will be strong in the Competition!
3) If you\'ll see millions of expert and talented gamers to choose PS2 for its wonderful games...there\'s nothing compared to the dozens of millions who will buy PS2 because of it is in fashion!
4) With more than -one year and half\'s lead- over the X-Box...Sony will be always a step forward to Microsoft...
5) By the time X-Box and GC will be released,PS2 will cost around 199$-249$!!
I can\'t see one reason why PS2 won\'t be strong in this Competition!
However,ElAsesino,try to explain to everybody the reasons why PS2 is OUT from this Competition! :D...Don\'t be BIAS :D

The PS2 will probobly have a better fill rate then the others.

Nope, it\'s a fact that X Box has about twice the fill rate of the PS2. But will the PS2 somehow or someway beat the X Box graphics capability?
-
NOPE!!! Your Wrong!!
Fill Rate. This refers to the total number of pixels that the graphics chip can paint every second. With a 1.2 Gigapixel fill rate, the Xbox is capable of drawing a 640x480 screen 3,900 times per second, or a 1920x1080 screen (HDTV) nearly 600 times per second. So, despite having a lower pixel fill rate than the Playstation 2, it is still far higher than necessary.
Texel Rate. The texel rate of a graphics processor refers to the number of textured pixels that the graphics chip can draw in a second. If you notice on the Xbox, it is capable of drawing twice as many textured pixels as it can screen pixels, which allows the Xbox to apply two textures to a polygon with virtually no loss in performance. In contrast, the Playstation 2 can only draw half as many textured pixels as it can screen pixels, which means that texturing does eat into performance. However, even if every polygon is textured, the Playstation 2 is still more than fast enough to handle a simple television screen.
PS2(2.4 Giga pixels per second) has twice as pixel-fill-rate as X-Box(1.2 Giga pixels per second)!!!

It has HUGE support from both developers and gamers, that\'s it\'s greatest advantage.
Therefore I agree that the battle for first and second is between the XBox and PS2, with the GC third.

Nope, you\'re wrong. :)
http://www.xbox.com/xbox/flash/specs.asp
Pixel Fillrate (no textures) - Xbox=4G/sec, PS2=2.4G/sec
Pixel Fillrate (1 texture) - Xbox=4G/sec, PS2=1.2G/sec
Pixel Fillrate (2 textures) - Xbox=4G/sec, PS2=0.6G/sec
The reason why some thought the XBox\'s fillrate was 1.2G/sec was because they assumed it will work just like current nVidia GPUs (i.e. NV10 and NV15).
The specs quoted 4.8G/sec, therefore knowing that the XBox handles 4 textures simultaneously, they divided that fillrate by 4, hence the figure of 1.2G/sec.
The XBox GPU doesn\'t work that way, it handles multiple textures differently, therefore it\'s fillrate IS as quoted for 0-4 textures. The fillrate will only go down AFTER 5 or more textures.
Now that the GPU has been downgraded slightly from 300Mhz down to 250Mhz, the Xbox\'s fillrate has dropped to 4G/sec.
Hope this info helps. :)
-
I think both consoles are full of **** in specs terms. (hype) - Just listen to the rocks interview !
Think of games, not specs.

I do, but there is nothing wrong with discussing specs as long as the facts are kept in perspective.
-
Thanks Dr Yassam for the info:)...but I read different specs on...
http://www.vgdome.com/xdome/article.asp?id=198
what\'s the truth? :sconf:
-
Unfortunately, Xdome\'s info is wrong, I\'m not sure where they got their info from, but it couldn\'t have been from the official XBox site.
I suspect they used the figure of 4.8G/sec and made the same assumptions I described earlier. :)
-
Every consol has its advantage in its target market.
Sega caters mostly to the hardcore gamers, you have to respect Sega for this.
Sony caters to the casual or "weekend" gamers and to the hardcore fans to an extent with the RPG\'s and such.
Nintendo itself caters to the younger audience but the 2nd and 3rd parties will release a lot more serious games for the hardcore crowd.
Microsoft will cater to the hardcore audience because we see the strength that MS can bring to the game industry, it will also be the system for graphic whores and casual gamers due to the Sony-level of hype its getting
-
Well, I\'m no programmer, but isn\'t the PS2\'s 1.5Ghz graphics buss and 3Ghz main buss freakin\' huge?
Wouldn\'t that hold some advantage?

I find it funny that you are calling me childish. Are you just trying to piss me off or something? Do you get aroused or something by annoying people (me in particular) with your "Sony\'s the Best" attitude? Also, you are one of the few fanboys in this forum, and some of your posts tend to come off as biased and childish. I\'m 14, and I hope you are as old as me or younger than me because you appear to be very ignorant...
1) Exclusive games like the other Two : PS2=GT3,ZOE,FFX,FFXI,Tekken 4,AC4,Ring of Red,Naughty Dog\'s secret titles. GC=Mario,Zelda,Metroid,...X-Box=OddWorld inhabitants\'s exclusive titles and many others...it\'s just a matter of taste! DC? If Sega will continue to produce games like Shenmue...well...we\'ll see really interesting things...[/B]
You are forgeting to mention that most of those titles that are exclusive as of now, will more than likely be on pretty much every system by the time this console war ends. The Final Fantasies will at least be on XBox at the worst. Square would be pretty stupid if they didn\'t port any of their FF\'s to at least one system. Let\'s see how many of those games for PS2 are actually first or second party. Hmm we have GT3, which makes 1. Naughty Dog is a second party (Arent\' they????) so that maeks those ND secret titles exclusive. I\'ll say that there are 3 of them. So, out of that list there are 4 first or second party games, (3 of which you hardly know anything about) that are definitely exclusive. The rest of those on the PS2 list have a chance to be ported.
Oh yeah and about that Sega thing. How many more AAA games does Sega have to make until people support them again. I mean they\'ve been working their asses off, yet no one buys their stuff. That is pretty screwed up.
So,if you look at Great Games...you can choose indifferently among PS2,DC,GC and X-Box!
And if you look at the console which will produce more Games...well...PS2 in the first place and X-Box second...
...so...I\'ve proved PS2 will be strong in the competition![/B]
Just because they produce the most games, doesn\'t mean that it will be strong in the competition. I can\'t even begin to count all of the games on the PSX that were complete and udder crap. The same thing will end up happening to both consoles, because the majority of the developers are pretty crappy. The PS2 may have 300 developers, but probably only about 1/6 to 1/8 are actually decent.
2) If you aren\'t a "True Videogames-Lover",and you\'re looking at a "homely-Entertainment-System...well,your going to opt first for PS2 and Indrema,and then X-Box!
So ElAsesino...don\'t you think that PS2,Indrema L600 and X-Box have more chances to Win against the GC if you look at a console like a Homely-Entertainment-System?
Again,I\'ve proved that PS2 will be strong in the Competition![/B]
First of all, only hardcore gamers will even think about Indrema. The second thing is, in about 1-2 years the DVD player will be a common household applianc much like the VCR. So, towards the middle point and later in the PS2\'s and XBox\'s life the DVD function won\'t be a big deal. When PS3 rolls around, the DVD function in it (supposing that it has it) will probably be used as much as the CD player function in today\'s consoles are used. You are right though. For the first couple of years people will look for the PS2 and XBox as far as a home entertainment system.
3) If you\'ll see millions of expert and talented gamers to choose PS2 for its wonderful games...there\'s nothing compared to the dozens of millions who will buy PS2 because of it is in fashion![/B]
What wonderful games are you talking about? I only see about 10 or so possible good games coming in the future, which includes Madden, SSX, and Timesplitters. I guarantee you that as fast as Sony built the hype, it will go even quicker. Heck, you don\'t see all this PS2 hype anymore (at least I haven\'t seen it). I haven\'t seen a person anywhere around me talk about how the PS2 is the ultimate gaming machine and all that kind of stuff.
4) With more than -one year and half\'s lead- over the X-Box...Sony will be always a step forward to Microsoft...[/B]
With more than a -one year and a half\'s lead- over the PS2 in technology... XBox will always make the PS2 look like a big black pile of ****.
5) By the time X-Box and GC will be released,PS2 will cost around 199$-249$!![/B]
Where did you find this out from? Oh yeah I forgot, you were so far up Sony\'s ass that you could predict what Sony would do.
However,ElAsesino,try to explain to everybody the reasons why PS2 is OUT from this Competition! :D...Don\'t be BIAS :D
[/B]
You\'re telling me that I\'m biased, when your stupid ass looks like a biased fool in everyone of your got damn posts.

[/B]
I\'d like to say this. Pretty much anyone at this forum knows that most of those 300 developers for PS2 are crappy. I mean why do you think games like Superman 64 and Carmageddon 64, have such a bad reputation? Compared to the games that are on the N64, they are pieces of trash that don\'t deserve to be made. There are a lot of games on PSX that were like this, but they never got any publicity for them because it wasn\'t seen as a big deal. An excuse for a game wasn\'t a big deal on PSX because there were many games that were just like it, but since there were hardly any games that were pieces of trash on N64, those games were highly publicized. There is no reason for me to believe that the same thing won\'t happen on the PS2.
Yes, it is very true that PS2\'s best advantage is support from gamers. Although, just like I mentioned before in my reply to Bizio, many of those PS2 games that were once exlusive will be find on other consoles this time around. So, what do you think casual gamers will do once they see PS2 games on GC and XBox with way better graphics than the PS2 games? They\'ll jump ship like Sony is the plague.
-
From a purely technical standpoint there are few advantages teh Ps2 has over other consoles. With the way the vector units are set up there is a great amount of customization, you can pretty much do things the way you want. The problem with this is that most taks in 3d rendering are increadibly repetative, and there is realy no point in being able to control how you do the boring repetative calculations i your going to do it the same way anyway. Thats basicly the advantage the PS2 has over the Gamecube and XBox, which have greater power and are more simplisic to program.
-
Ps2\'s advantage is the vector units, it plays dvd\'s it plays music it\'s more powerful than dc i think.

TO ELASESINO:
You have changed subject...and you prove again your BIASED and a little idiot!
You said that PS2 is out of the competition and that\'s a bias foolishness...I have only said that PS2 will be strong in the competition,I haven\'t said PS2 is the ultimate console or the winner of this "so called War"!
I asked you to explain why PS2 is out of this competition,and you didn\'t answer me! Your a little Child and,maybe,one of the few FANBOYS here!
I\'ve got a PS2,I\'m considering to buy a DC for Shenmue(Great),I\'ll buy GameCube for Mario...and...maybe X-Box and Indrema L600...yes EL-ASINO(do you know the meaning of ASINO in Italian? = ASS or DUNCE) I\'m a fanboy :rolleyes:
So don\'t change subject again!
Explain to everybody,BIAS ELASINO,why PS2 is OUT of this competition!

And we all saw what Nintendo\'s policy of \'Quality over Quantity\' brought, that\'s right, some great games, some crap games, but NOT enough overall. The best you can say is that the great game to crap game ratio is better on the N64 than it is on the Playstation.
The PSX offered many great games also, but the difference is, a large number of developers means a large number of games, which provides a greater choice of game to choose from. As a result, the Playstation\'s library of games is FAR more diverse than that of the N64.

Support from gamers grew BECAUSE of the great support from developers producing a huge range of games.

[/B]
I agree that the XBox and GC will be superior graphically, however they don\'t target the same gamers. Games on the PS2 are far more likely to appear on the XBox (which targets the adult gamer) than the GC (which targets the younger gamer).
I have no doubt that the GC will be successful, however I doubt it has the same appeal to old PSX/PS2 gamers. IMO, if Sony gamers are to \'jump ship\', they are far more likely to jump to the XBox than the GC. We\'ll see.

Do you have some sort of problem with changing my words around? I said, the battle [main battle] will be between GameCube and XBox. Did I say PS2 wouldn\'t be in the competition? no. I already explained to you why. PS2 won\'t have all the exclusive third party games anymore. With a weak 1st party and 2nd party, they won\'t be able to keep up with GameCube and XBox. If you would have read my reply to you more closely, then I am confident that you would have realized what I was talking about.
Unless you have changed your ways (which I heavily doubt)you are still a Sony fanboy. Ever since I first came here you have acted as if you were a fanboy. If you aren\'t one I suggest that you quit acting like you are.
I didn\'t change the subject Bizio. Like I said before, you must have misread my post. Also, I have one other thing to say. It seems like you have some type of fetish for changing my name around to ElAsino. I want to play this game to. I\'ll call you... um... *****io Sleezy. It sounds a lot like Bizio EE.

You are right. We\'ll have to see. Although, I think Nintendo will be a lot more diverse this time around. I think Capcom must think the same way I do, if they are willing to release a Mature game (Resident Evil 0) on GC for a company that is currently known for making kiddy games. Capcom must know something otherwise they wouldn\'t take this big of a risk. My question is, "What is wrong with Capcom?". I mean we all know that GC will be for the "younger gamer", so why would they put out a popular mature game when no one will buy it? That is pretty weird. Wait a second, I have this weird idea that popped in my head all of a sudden. Maybe GC will be similar to the PSX. You know how the PSX had very little fans at the beginning, but it grew once people realized how good it was. Well, GameCube could start out with about a handful of AAA mature games. People will eat them up, and other developers could see this (developers who specialize in the mature field), and actually bring their games to GameCube.
Still, there is a problem though. Nintendo won\'t have enough RPG\'s on GameCube, or will they? According to http://www.nintendonation.com/specials/gamelist/index.shtml, the following titles are confirmed and rumored:

What? MGS2 is coming to GC as well?

ELASESINO,every NON-BIAS person thinks PS2 has most of the chances to prevail over the others...this is my opinion and this is the opinion of millions of people!
You can write all the unconfirmed games on GC you want but you should know that everybody could write 3 times the games on PS2...with the difference they are confirmed...you are free,obviously,to have your own opinion but you have to know that your one of the few people who believe PS2 has no one advantage over the competitors!
When I first came to this Forum(this is the only Forum I read),I saw people flaming and fighting each against the other like beasts...so...I thought...this is only a joke...me too,me too,and I began to flame people writing rubbish like(X-Box seems great only on paper or DC=DEADCAST)...but...with time I have begun to understand how much IDIOT I was and that there are so many people(like Dr Yassam,for example) who know a lot of things and that you can learn a lot and improve your knowledge thanks to them....so,NOW,I\'m looking at this Forum like a Tool to pick up useful informations!

You know what. This thread doesn\'t matter anymore. I could show all the proof as to why GameCube would prevail, but it wouldn\'t do anything. I\'m just going wait until E3.

...I see you don\'t understand me...I\'m not interested on wich console will prevail...or proofs\'s opinion about it...only technical info...

I\'m going to wait until E3 tooo:)

Hmmm...
a little bit of enlightenment--first off, ps2 may have less theoretical raw power than either the gamecube or the xbox...but that doesn\'t matter. All three are very close in terms of power. Now, as far as ps2\'s main advantage...where to start--I will begin with what seems to be an addvantage for the competition. Being able to do certain polygon manipulations built into hardware--that\'s their main advantage over the ps2...that\'s a big advantage for 1st and most likely 2nd generation games because developers can use the special polygon manipulations (ie bumpmapping, certain types of dynamic lighting, etc.)--right off the bat. But because both nintendo and microsoft have the special effects down in hardware...they got arrogant and forgot that new developments are happening all the time in polygon manipulation...and if they are not included in hardware...they MUST be done through software (some pretty intricate and specific programming i might add). This is where the PS2 really shines. The PS2 has 2 vector units (units specialized for complex floating point calculations)...these vector units can be programmed through software to do an almost endless number of things (new effects that haven\'t even been thought of yet included)...this is why ps2 was dubbed a "supercomputer" and there was the whole missle guidance thing. Because technically a supercomputer is a computer with specially designed floating point units called "vector units"...because no other system has vector units they cannot and will not be considered supercomputers. These vector units will also allow the ps2 to utilize special features not supported by any of the upcoming systems in hardware: including nurbs, bezier curves, and some type of ray-tracing like effects---also although other systems may have higher polygon counts supposedly...ps2 will most likely have the best skinning effects, due to these vector units. This is what makes models and environments on the PS2 look amazing. This is also the PS2\'s main advantage...you will begin to really see its affects in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation of games...don\'t give up on the PS2 yet--dual vector units and freakishly fast bus speeds for streaming data constantly--a true videogame architecture.
