While Capcom may just add a few bells and whistles those games still appear to rank as the best games. Otherwise no one would be excited about the next Resident Evil, now would they?
It isn\'t even a smart move for Konami to port MGS to Xbox. I\'m not sure why you people think it would be. Konami and MS would both lose money on a port of the original MGS. Also, keep in mind Konami is a third party developer. They can port MGS2 to Xbox and there is nothing Sony can do. Sega fans said the first RE on the PS2 wouldn\'t be Code Veronica, and behold! There is more reasons supporting Konami porting MGS2 to Xbox then there is against the theory. Also, with Silent Hill 2 going to the XBox, it makes sense Konami would port another "huge hit" to Xbox. They are active supporters of the system already. I personally don\'t care, as I won\'t buy MGS2 and probally won\'t even rent the game (I hated the first). I just think its odd that people are still going on that it will be a port of a 3-4 year old game. If nothing else it will be a side story, but I doubt that will even happen.
And while you may argue the third party support of the PS2. Keep in mind that the 3D0 had around 500 developers (give or take a some). It didn\'t mean they all developed for the system. Also, Xbox is still signing developers, so that number could raise constantly.
You sure are a misinformed Idiot Dookie. DOOKIE FOR Brains!!! ahahah. Anyway, Xbox is not 256 bit. It has a
32 bit evuivilant processor. (Not including nvidia or pentium) Microsoft tends to overhype specs. Xbox can handle
100 MICROPOLYGONS. But I heard rumors that it can only handle around 40 million. More than GC and DC, but
less than PS2. And the emotion engine is a hell of alot more powerful than a pentium III and Nvidia chip
COMBINED. It\'s just not as fast. But speed isn\'t power when regarding graphics chips.
No offense, but there is no reason to go calling someone an idiot just because you
think you know everything. Also, whats with this MS tends to overhype specs? Like Sony didn\'t? Come on, every company overhypes specs for people can start drooling over something.
So yes I believe XBox will be a kick ass machine but it won\'t dominate the industry. Not to mention when Xbox is
out for $300.00 the PS2 will be $200or less with 5+ times the amount of games so Xbox might not look attractive
to all those console buyers who refuse to pay top dollar for a new machine and thats the majority of gamers.
If that is the case, then the DC should easily beat the PS2. People will pay something that is hyped. If MS hypes it enough people will pay.
In my opinion. MS is set to be number 2 and maybe the top console when it comes out.
