were comparing how many EVEN have a broadband connection

no broadband connection = no online xbox
56k for peer to peer is fine, the DC proved that


Sony will have sold 450-600 millions PS2 by the end of June?:padd-ons = failure

Sure, but play a team game peer to peer, an MMOG or a FPS.

so you think xbox will have 4.5 million sold by june?
we shall see


how many PS2\'s are installed today, more than 30 million?
this is a rough estimate, please dont jump in my ass if im off by a million or so

regardless, ps2\'s will continue to sell at a  exponential rate compared to xbox untill a miracle happens, and online gaming aint it

There\'s a fine thread between success and failure...

does ANY current xbox game copy data to the hard drive to address load times? no, why not?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



How many are planned to do that for PS2 HD, if any?




actually Final Fantasy makes for quicker load times in japan already - so there is one example

but to answer also MMs question Halo a game you own utilizes the xbox HDD for quicker load times - thats why the levels are so streamless and huge with such small load times and also why whenever you go to another area and it says loading it takes about 5 secs if that

still for the size of say the second level that 60 seconds is nothing

compare that 60 seconds to say the 2-3 minutes of a freaking sports game with less detail and you kind of see what i mean

devs are utilizing the load times on both consoles but i think they need to focus on other things to use the HDD for besides load times as it really doesnt make much of a difference then a few seconds here and there

on line play
« Reply #41 on: March 23, 2002, 06:07:00 AM »
Yeah on line play will be nice. I could care less who "wins" in that department. I want games that I spend my hard earned money on to be challanging and fun enough so when I come home and put them in which ever system they are for, I don\'t need to go on line. I want games that will be entertaining playing against the console.

I want a football game that will have the A.I. to realize I can run the same play on defense and get a sack 90% of the time and adjust to stop it. I want a football game with the A.I that can figure out I am running the same play but on alternating sides of the field every time and getting first downs and stopping me.

I want a racing game That will fight me too the finish, bumping my car and possibly wrecking me.

I want a game like Halo for instance, or Max Payne that will figure out I am hiding behind a rock , or a door ,and kick my ass instead of walking stupidly into my line of fire.

My point is I want the games to be a challange when played against the console every time you play them. When I get killed in a game and I get to that point in the game again ,I know what will happen so i can prepare for it, I want what ever killed me the first time to be different when I get there the second time. I want the console to think and react.  Maybe I\'m asking for to much here but at $300.00 a console, and $50.00 a game I think we deserve it.

There\'s my rant
Peace

That does sound like a bit much. Granted, AI in most games could/should be WORLDS better.. I don\'t think we\'re quite to that point in console power yet. There\'s quite a few games out there that do have fairly realistic AI - considering -, but we\'re just not up to the point where we can even get one, let alone 10 or more, onscreen computer controlled opponents to think with the complexity of human counterparts. Then again... there\'s alot of human opponents who are nowhere near the skill level even a cheaply written BOT is.  :p

I think 300 dollars per console and game is a reasonable price. Not as cheap as I\'d like it.. but definately better than what game companies COULD be charging us. This is a discussion for another thread though.

BTW: NYPPZ... get Alien Front Online for the DC. I wanna streight up kick your A$$ at that game. :evil:  :D
