Some highlights (all from http://www.coremagazine.com/news/3854.php3 ):
"The games themselves were running on Alpha2 development kits, which represent half of the finished system\'s power."
"According to Lorne, \'The game (Oddworld) is still very much pre-alpha, players can expect a much more glossy presentation when we\'re done.\' " (WHAT!?!?! The game already looks FAR better than anything I\'ve seen on PS2!!!)
"the Microsoft Salt Lake team unveiled \'Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding.\' The demo version was less than 5% complete..." (At 5% it looks better than SSX at 100%)
"the finished version will include more than 150 songs from hard-core indie rock bands" (Amped)
"Bizarre has only been working on the XBox for a short time. Specifically, the demo version of Project Gotham shown was said to represent less than four weeks of development. Nevertheless, it featured one London-based track, and a car which incorporated 16,000 polygons" (that\'s what simplicity in programming for a machine can do- hard to believe, eh Sonyfanboys?)

Ladies and gentlmen. Another example of lies, damned lies, and Microsoft press releases. The Games look like a cross between PS2 and PC games. Nothing about the Xbox makes me want to get it.

Kituka, first you hated Xbox. Now you love it. Can you make up your mind?

Samwise, you\'re right......kinda. I didn\'t hate it, just was underwhelmed.....until I saw the Munch\'s, Halo, and NFL pictures.
Everybody here should be goddamn excited, don\'t get me wrong. We\'re talking about a new VIDEO GAME guys. We all LOVE video games, right? When I think video games I don\'t think Sony this and Nintendo that, I see an aspiring art form and I cherish it in all its incarnations. MGS2............GC Mario................ .......FF........Zelda.......Sonic......Halo............Panzeer Dragoon........Metroid...............it goes on and on. A lot of games have rich heritages- you diss one and you diss the whole video game industry. At its core its still about fun and the fulfillment of imagination........
