"" There were also indications that the hardware is not entirely stable yet - a crash during Nightcaster revealed a familiar looking PC boot screen, and a Microsoft representative explained that the memory configuration on the floor models was different than that of the final version.""
:laughing: I can\'t belive it!! The System can\'t handle the games!!
-
yeah this one is a kick in the nuts for old MS
:laughing:
-
LOL. Now that\'s funny. :laughing:
-
good, now i can gloat!!!
-
This is bad for MS, but it\'s still pretty funny. Bugs are to MS as delays are to Nintendo ;).
-
I can\'t deny that that\'s kinda humorous :)
-
Yikes!!
-
i called it, i said this would happen to all these X-BOX fanboys at my school
-
I can see it now.
MS guy: As you can see the X-Box is really good.
some guy at E3: Hey is that a BSOD?
MS guy: *turns around* huh,err no that is uhhh.The start screen for the game see it says press button right there.
the E3 guy: No it says press any key to restart
MS guy: You read it wrong
Er guy It also says Fatal error
MS guy: That\'s the name of the game.
E3 guy: I thought the name of the game was Nightcaster.
MS guy: They changed it....shows over.Go away.
-
LOL!!!!
-
Hehe, that\'s pretty funny. But let\'s not get ahead of ourselves, Microsoft has already announced the solution to this problem. Just like Nintendo changed its controller, Microsoft is adding three buttons to the back of the controller that should effectively solve everything. After deciding against square, triangle, and circle, Microsoft decided to rename them control, alternate, and delete...
-Eik

:laughing: That was funny nO-One!!!
-
I WANT TO SEE A PICTURE!!

LMAO
thats pretty good
yea this is a big drawback for XBOX - but i am sure it will be fixed before release - still quite funny though

This is not unique to the XBox. ALL consoles experience crashes at this stage in the developement.
The same was ALSO true for the PS2 during early demonstrations in game shows, eg;
http://ps2.ign.com/previews/14006.html
"At E3, many showgoers wondered why Sony had decided to make Unreal Tournament such a selling point of its PlayStation 2 exhibition...but the extremely slow framerate and frequent crashes were certainly a factor as well. The display proved that Epic had the game up and running on PS2, but that was about it."
http://playstation.hotgames.com/features/172/features_2.htm
"Graphically it\'s shaping up well, with character models that seem to match EA\'s NHL series polygon for polygon, and a smooth frame rate...Worse, the game completely crashed the lone PS2 it was running on while we were playing. It\'s too early to pass judgement on this game, but Konami had better put the pedal to the metal if they want to get this one out the door before the start of the season."
Hmmm..... :)
-
As I\'ve said before, Xbox isn\'t the only \'crashable\' console. My PS2 has crashed several times - but that was final games on final hardware, not early unfinished games on development hardware. :)
-
This is a simple case of MS being attacked because of their brand name. It was overlooked with Sony, and even if Nintendo had these problems it would be overlooked. But , now that it is MS, people are jumping on to make fun of them. Nothing more. Fact is, anything MS does, people will find fault in. And any mistake MS makes, no matter how small it is, will get blown up and become big news.
As I recall, and even Sammy\'s post mentions that the PS2 has had its shared of problems crashing with released games.
-
Of course they are attacking Microsoft. It\'s the same thing as when Nintendo makes a kiddy game versus Sony or MS making one. For example, I never heard anyone complaining about Ape Escape, yet whenever Nintendo showed Pikmin they bashed it immediately because it is kiddy.
-
heh heh.I know every console have had,do have and will have some crashes.And people are right now just b*tching about every fault the X-box has.Remember when the PS.2 was released in Japan.People talked about it overheating,they talked about frying eggs and stuff on it.
History is repeating it self
-
In your face MS. :laughing: x100
-
Ha ha.... oh wait, this wasn\'t funny. It\'s a unfinished game, the only reason they mentioned it looked like a PC boot screen is it\'s made by MS. If it happened to Sony or Nintendo, it\'d have been a footnote, barely mentioned. Unfinished/dev. kits usually have things not in the consumer unit, theres no reason to think this is a sign of what real XB\'s will do.
-
In your face MS. x100
Oh, how mature!

SSGoku no kidding. That was stupid. "In your face MS. :laughing: x100" But I guess you have the right to express your opinion. But EThugg is right it isn\'t funny the X-box isn\'t even finished and they probably have fixed by now.

I honestly hate to tell you this boys. But while I was at E3 this year (2001). I saw a Gamecube game crash. It was Silicon Knight\'s own Eternal Darkness and the chick had to get underneath and reset the hardware.
AAAA from MSXbox also said that Smash Bros crashed while he was at E3 as well.
There was NO FINAL CONSOLE HARDWARE at E3 for Xbox, except behind closed doors. The hardware running the games was your typical PC hardware.
-
wOOt we can poke at Nintendo to :p
-
See PS2 fanboys, that\'s what happens when you jump to conclusions. Crashes happen when you try to run Xbox games on PC hardware. ;) It\'s funny how pstwo tried to make it sound as if the games were running on actual Xboxes when that really wasn\'t the case. Every PS2 game could have crashed at the show and no one would have said anything. When one Xbox game crashes on PC hardware, it makes the headlines.

jeez.don\'t take thid so seriously.Most of us here do relise that systems do crash,especially while still in development.
We\'re just having some harmless fun,atleast I and ooseven.

Too True mate.....
and yeah your right some people just keep forgeting that its a Console WAR ( i.e. battle of games)
Rather than a REAL WAR !
They are Just GAMES FFSakes..............
I now give No one and myself the "Feet on the Ground" award for remembering this.
And as for DirectXbox chill out, relax and let these people have there fun.......
It\'s only a CONSOLE AFTER ALL !
You don\'t have to hold a one Man Crucade when ever anyone takes the X box or Bill Gate\'s name in vain.
-
Maybe I will buy the XBOX. Is there a driver disk in the box?
What about the good old BlueScreen? Press any button?
Cannot find xyz.dll ?............Questions and questions.
:)
-
Thank you for the award ooseven :)
ooseven: I know give nO-One and myself (well big surprise there huh) the "Feet on the ground" award
nO-One: *his face turns red* stands up in the crowd.Nearly crying as he walks to the stage.
ooseven: Here ya go mate,feel pride in this *hands him a pair of golden feet*
nO-One: I will bud *sniff* tears streaming down his face.
ooseven: Jeez mate,don\'t be so emotional.It\'s just a pair of feet which I spray painted.And you don\'t even want to know where I got them.I also reccomend you keep these either in a plastic bag,or a closed closet.
nO-One: So yours are not real gold either?
ooseven: Ohh no,mine are real gold.But rest assured that your award probly means alot to some poor bloke out there heh heh.
nO-One: Why did your get the gold ones?
ooseven: It doesn\'t matter which one of us got which.It\'s the sentiment that counts :)
nO-One: I guess your right
The next day nO-One was caught by the police and sentenced for life for manslaughter.Nobody belived his story about the crazy secret agent.
