Hideo Kojima (mgs) States That Theres Not That Much Diffrence Between Xbox And Ps2

"I don’t think that Xbox is that much better than PlayStation 2. Other than little improvements in graphics, I don’t expect much difference," said Kojima.
But the Konami legend agreed that Xbox visuals will pack a larger punch. "You will definitely get better graphics with Xbox," he added. "With PlayStation 2, we had to create our own shadows with the software. With Xbox, the machine creates it for us, so we can use that little extra power for effects and stuff. So the Xbox version [the still mysterious Metal Gear Solid X] will probably look a little bit better."

I found this on computerandvideogames.com

Looking at the graphics on x box I can tell its not much difference from ps2.

ofcourse Xbox will be different from ps2, itll be WORSE, maybe not graphicswise, but certainly by the pile of sh1t they gave us for launch games! the only to games that are really gonna be worth buying microsoft\'s cheese machine for are MGSX and NFS6...

Why are all of you graphic whores?!?!

What about Halo, Malice, Munch, Jet Grind Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon, Sega GT, Racing Game from Bizarre, Silent Hill 2, etc.

It\'s the games dammit.  Xbox will have it\'s fair share.

im sure not a graphics whore, and im sure raslant just posted this thread to show how the PS2 and X Box are alike, iknow its alla bout the games, i have always said that and i hope the X Box will be able to kick out a few good games at launch, the only game i think will do great wil be Halo

Games....are the only thing that matter..Graphics are ruining games these days. I would rather salvage graphics for GAMEPLAY

now i cant agree onthat cause i mean whats the point of making better console if the graphics are always gonna be the same.. there is none, game graphics will kepp getting better & better , but without a great game to support it, it will be nothing

Halo:Sounds lke a fine game
Malice:all we know about it is its graphics
Jet Grind Radio:promising
Panzer Dragoon:I am dying to play it
Sega GT:A GranTurismo clone nothing else.
Racing Game from Bizzare:Ehm we know nothing about it.The pics showed nothing impressive and we dont know much about gameplay either.
SH2:Also on PS2
MGSX:MGS2 guaranteed for PS2
DOA3:if its exclusive then its an XBOX key title
etc....

We dont know if these games will be ready at launch

PS2\'s launch games

DOA2
TTT
RRV
SFEX2

Rushed in development,new architecture,incomplete tools and dev kits but very very nice games.

Developers have the time the tools the ease to create great launch titles for XBOX but PS2\'s tools,Dev kits are finished develpers got the time to be uccastomed to PS2\'s architecture  and develop their games and when XBOX is released PS2 will have a ton of AAA titles to compete succesfully with XBOX\'s launch games.

I love graphics. I love graphics so much its the reason I\'m interested in XBox

Hideo himeself says the only difference betrween the PS2 and Xbox is graphics. well thats a heluva compliment to Xbox IMO cause I have a high respect for Sony\'s Emotion engine and its abilities to calculate physics and other gameplay elements. SO if Xbox can do all that and give me better graphics I can\'t help but be interested.


and I don\'t think graphics are ruining games, or gaming. but there is a lack of innovation in gameplay, and sad but true Sega\'s "innovative games" didn\'t sell so well for them. If people aren\'t going to buy innovation who the hell is going to waste resources making them.

Example Squares Vagrant Story, I thought was a very innovative 32 bit RPG and it hardly sold in Japan and had moderate success here, lets not even talk about Sega\'s Jet grind Radio (??)


Also Xbox games are shaping up IMO. Malice looks like a good platformer. Halo just looks fantastic and there\'s a couple of games I forget there names that look interesting. How about the Xbox RPG Metal Dungeon ??


I love the PS2 and I\'m a huge supporter of Sony, but Xbox doesn\'t look like a bad 2nd console in my book

Hideo Kojima said that Metal Gear Solid X for the Xbox will have slight improvements from its PS2 counterpart !

He spoke about little improvements in graphics...so...if that is true...the X-Box,with more than one year and half of advantage(technologically),is nothing special...or better still...a big disappointment...again...if what Kojima said is True!

Let\'s wait and see!

Why do we need 3 threads about one guys opinion? He\'s not a nobody, I understand, but c\'mon...

The same reason there are three threads about near everything here. It\'s because, uh, hmmm. Maybe we don\'t need so many threads about the same stuff.
People get all pissed off when you close THEIR thread though, so it\'s a no win situation.

Sega got shafted and shafted themselves in sales.

They make some of the most original and fun games, and yet none of them sell. A perfect example is Jet Grind Radio, which also has beautiful graphics. Nobody seems to want to take a chance in buying an innovative game. In fact, nowadays, people are more interested in popular liscences (Tekken, Final Fantasy, TOMB RAIDER) and graphics, then new games. I seem to be the opposite. When I look at my game libraries I despise seeing "2" and "Returns" and "IX" or "The Sequel". I love getting new types of games, however I have those numbered games too. So, in a way, consumers are getting scared, because there\'s so much crap out there (i.e. Superman 64 or Xtreme games for PC) that no one\'s taking a chance in buying these games.

Then again, it\'s also Sega\'s fault. They made too many mistakes in the past, and although Dreamcast was a great step in the right direction, no one could forget those mistakes. Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn, were all huge dissapointments, even though they had there fair share of good games (i.e. Panzer Dragoon). Honestly though... who in the gaming world would go to a store to buy a random game that they aren\'t sure is good. If you go to a store to buy a game, and you see Ridge Racer V on one side and Samba de Amigo on the other, you\'ll likely go for RRV. It\'s sad, but true.

On to X-Box. Many think the X-Box will do horribly, yet if you see the games already announced for it (BEFORE E3!), you can see it won\'t do to badly. Oddworld, Halo, Bounty Hunter, Malice, New Legends, Jet Grind Radio Future, Panzer Dragoon, Metal Gear Solid X, Silent Hill 2, and all those multi-platform games, seem very promising. Once again. Which games would you trust and BELIEVE would be the best? The liscences you know. Silent Hill 2, Metal Gear, and Jet Grind (in the US anyways) will do well. As will Oddworld, since it seems to be the X-Box\'s major title.

Pile of **** they give us for launch games? In response to zip77, I don\'t think any system has had a great launch. Sure, there\'s a title or two that may amaze or surprise you, but nothing else. The good games are as follows: The PS2 had SSX and DOA2 (which was already on DC), the N64 had Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings (some liked it, others didn\'t), SNES had hardly anything except for Super Mario World. The Game Boy Advance US launch looks good, since it\'ll have Castlevania, Mario, F-Zero, and Tony Hawk. Once again... originality?
