I got Biohazard (Resident Evil) on the GC

I just got my import copy of Biohazard (Resident Evil for those who don\'t know) On the Gamecube. I may not be good at writing impressions, but this game is gorgeous and awsome. It\'s scary, fun, and hard. You hear lightning crashing outside, flashing in the windows, its just... beatiful. (I\'m typing this as I play) It comes out in the american market in less than a month. I for one reccomend this to all that have a game cube, and do not let the console barrier stop you.

yeah, i get my copy from EB on 5/1 for free when i trade in two xbox games

ill just turn off the light here, grab two random crappy xbox games off the shelf, and trade them in for some RE lovin!!!!

What console barrier, everybody knows the NGC and the PS2 work great together..

damn... I need all consoles!:mad:

Chrono: If you don\'t have a PC, then the Xbox might be more favorable than the GCN.. but otherwise.. duh!

Xbox is a great console, but it\'s trying to be like PS2.. while PS2 is being PS2 and GCN is being GCN. You can call it a demographic difference if you like, that works.. although I think it\'s really just a different attitude.

As for Resident Evil, I have it pre-ordered and I\'m eagerly anticipating it.

I think all the consoles have their own upsides. I don\'t think the X-Box is trying to be like the PS2.

The one which is least appealing for me is that Gamecube.

Id much rather have a NGC than a Xbox, Halo is coming to PC so theres no point getting Xbox sinse thats all its got going for it. Oh and the NGC is allot cheaper so thats gonna help its sales.

I use to be a big RE fan but I could give a rats about it now. Especaially only on gamecube which I don\'t have and I don\'t like RE enough to buy a gamecube for it. I hope the game is good though.

think you missed his point  :shy:

he meants targetting the same audience, trying to beat sony with sony\'s crowd, and to dothis it will have to have th same type of games as the PSX and PS2 as opposed to what Nintendo is putting out etc. etc.  Therefore, its trying to be like the PS2    whereas Nintendo, are just bein plain arrogant, i dont think they have made a concious decision to really support a different market.. they would still do just as well (most likely better) if they catered to Sony\'s audience as well

and my friend is getting a GC, so ill definately make him buy this

its been quite some time since ive had some decent Resident Evil lovin\'

:fro: toot on

Bob: It\'s arrogance like Nintendo\'s that\'s making them publish Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, and Perfect Dark.

Wait, did that make any sense?

All RE needs to be a better game is to have more realistic. . . and more spooky atmosphere.  The cube can do it better than before.

not particularly  

but yeah.. neither did certain aspects of my post    namely.. the part you tried to rebutt.. eh eh.. butt eh eh..

Funny how you say that like those are Nintendo saviors or something. Um except for Metroid all those other games where on N64 and that system didn\'t sell close to psx.

It\'s very funny how Nintendo think they have all the time in the world. While ps2 is still selling like crazy. They just sick back and say when this title launches will be ok. Um the time is now they should be trying to figure out how to get back on top of the gaming market.

I have no use for Nintendo if they want to give up on gaming then I\'ll give up on them.

Oh, shut up.

"I don\'t have the damned system but I\'m going to \'give up\' on it anyway!"

I listed those games because they\'re more "hip" and "mature" than efforts like Pikmin and Mario.
"Hip and mature" being the Playstation 2\'s AAA games.. like Grand Theft Auto III. As for Nintendo not being aggressive enough or waiting for key titles.. it\'s called momentum, smart guy. Once the game development ball is rolling, it\'ll keep rolling.. and games will go from "trickling out" to "coming out at a brisk rate". The games that got delayed this year (Star Fox and ED) were N64 titles just a year ago.. they had to be totally revamped. If they were built from the ground up on GameCube, they\'d be out now.. and most nay\'sayers wouldn\'t complain due to more consistent releases.

Blah..

You weren\'t complaining when the PS2 had just about nothing worth owning in its early days.. enough said.

Umm yes but those games are nothing new we haven\'t seen already on Nintendo. And they surely are not games that can go head to head with the likes of GTA3.

And last Ps2 may have had a rough few months but the console still continued to sell despite it all. So whats Gcn excuse??
