The times are starting to change....

Being the owner of the Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Game Cube,  Playstation 2 , and of course the Xbox, the Xbox being my favorite. I am glad to see that game developers are beginning to realize that the Xbox is the most powerfull console of the group, and they are starting to develop for the Xbox first ,and then port to the others.
Word has it that James Bond 007 Night fire will be made for the 3 top systems but the Xbox version will be made for the Xbox and not ported from the PS2 like agent under fire was. This means a much better looking and playing game. Also Deus EX2 is being developed for the Xbox first and then ported to the other 2 consoles. Finally they are starting to see the light. I new it was just a matter of time. There is good new out there for the Xbox, it just seems no one here wants to admit it. It will only get better.

PS: I am not slamming the other consoles here, I am just posting some good news about the Xbox.

Yeah, yeah.

And chances are this game will be crap!
Wow! What a deal MS has got!

No.. Its being developed for PC first then ported to the other systems..
PC -> Xbox, GC, PS2

Listen to what Fast says.

Most games should be portet from PC to Xbox (or wise versa) since both us DirectX. Performance isn\'t the issue here - obviously you can\'t just  take a game from PS2 and put it on Xbox with the same effort as doing the same from the PC counterpart.

then what happened with Morrowwind?

But which versions of a ported game will have the added features, levels, etc.?  True, it\'s nice to get a game a couple months before those who own some other console, but I wouldn\'t be very pleased to get every game first, while the others get the bonuses that make the game more worth its price.

How many games on the xbox actually have extras that are worth a damn?
and its more then a couple months most of the time..

That game couldnt even run on a 20 GHz 6000MB DDR RAM GF5 coputer

My questions were directed towards NPYYZ, Chrono.  I was referring to games being ported from the Xbox, not to it.

ahh.. ok
whatever

I\'m still not convinced that the Xbox is head-and-shoulders above the GCN/PS2 in overall power.

Like its competition, it specializes in several operations.

However, developers have called the GCN more well-rounded.. leading me to believe that the small gap of overall performance between GCN and Xbox might be smaller than expected. A lot of algorithms are being put to use on GCN now that people thought only Xbox could pull.. like the grass/fur shaders in the new Star Fox.. not to mention the awesome Metroid Prime which runs at twice the framerate of Halo. (in comparatively smaller areas, though)

You\'re basing this off what?  The other games have at least been decent, I would say far from crap...

Regarding Deus Ex 2, I thought I had read that DE2 will come out for Xbox first, PC following, then the other consoles somewhere down the road...?

You know, whenever something came out on PS2 first, then to XBox or GC...all PS2 owners would flaunt how everyone else has to wait and they\'ll be playing something else while everyone else is catching up on yesterday\'s games...typical.

Some of you need to stop with your mindless bashing.  Especially Fastson.  And IMO it doesn\'t make sense to program for XBOX first considering PS2 is the dominant system in this generation.  But you will see xbox\'s power start to be tapped better.

Seeing as how Xbox is developer friendly and powerful, they can code the game for Xbox then easily port it to GC.  PS2 would take the most work to port to or from...but it will eventually get there and sell...

I did not like AuF.. But your right. I should have added IMO..

Hmm. I thought it was coming to PC first.. Thats what I heard anyways.
Maybe MS got a time exclusive contract so they are making it for PC/Xbox (same code) then porting it?

What did I bash now?

Just in general.  Your a PS2 zealot to the extreme.
