X-Box\'s 200 developers Versus\'s Sony\'s 350 developers......

Microsoft has to get 150 more developers to tie with Sony.......Some of the developers Sony have are ones we never heard of.

uhuh, what is your point?
what do they need to tie?

Microsoft is already Sony\'s bitch.

I doubt they can even come close to have as many developers as the PS2 has.

Surely right..........

Microsoft cannot buy 150 developers Sony owns.

Sony may have more developers but what good is it if it can measure up in terms of its ability? Well here is a little quote from the guys over at EPIC. In terms of 3d programming these guys are the tops in the business!!

...We\'re doing these very same kind of [upgrades] to the Unreal Engine right now in order to take advantage of the power that the Xbox platform will offer us and our licensees. The other day Epic programmer Andrew Scheidecker showed me a working level in an Unreal Engine build without the span buffer and looked great and ran really, really fast even though he hadn\'t finished all of his optimizations. A few weeks ago Andrew showed me a test level where one scene in it had 27,000+ visible polygons and ran at normal game speeds on a GeForce. Jack Porter showed me a terrain level with distance fog enabled and the level was absolutely huge. Erik De Neve is working DX8-based hardware accelerated rendering system for our skeletal character animation system. In short we\'re pushing the boundaries of our engine out even further. Using these kinds of features on Xbox will allow games created with the Unreal Engine to be 100x more detailed than what you saw in the PC and PS2 version of Unreal Tournament. That\'s 100 times more polygons in view! I\'m not saying we\'re going to do that right off the bat but the capability is there and we\'re experimenting with it in house now.

Sony PS2 is an awesome machine but Xbox is not it\'s bitch.

You are right about that Professor........

Hopefully a even playing field soon.

it also sounds like you, and Microsoft are over hyping the Xbox. MS does it all the time. Professor, you are like a billboard. And lots of people don\'t like overhype.

I would like to kick old bill in the nuts

All M$ do is talk, talk, talk and talk about "fact" and how many developers they have. And how "powerful" their system is. hmm. (xbox is the most HYPED system, IMO)
Well at least I want SCREENSHOTs that show us how "powerful" the Xbox (PC) is.

Don’t you?


Impressive? LOL! (Looks like Airfix on psx)


LMAO!

(I couldn’t find the real time Raven demo. All I can find is the FMV one. Oh well.)

Sony has 96% of all the xbox developers.

Yeah. Xbox had PC graphics

Really? That would happen to be anything like shipping less than half the amount of systems that Sony promised has it? Would it happen to resemble the 100,00 that they promised each week after that? Well maybe it could be the "real-time CG graphics" it boasted? Please....

I don\'t understand why people are pissed about the 500,000 thing. Well, Sony did succeed in creating high demand. 500,000 consoles is the most EVER released at launch. Sega only shipped 350,000 Dreamcasts, and we could just walk into a store and buy one. That will be the case with Xbox too. It\'s not impressive. I already have 3 PCs. Some of the Ps2 demos DO boast realtime CG graphics. Silent Hill 2 does. The Ps2 is hard to be developed for, and is yet to be seen.
Lets see. Here is a tech demo that has realtime CG graphics (I just spit in your face)

Ok I guess that makes you a man? Look I\'m not going to argue with you. I\'ll just be back here posting when the Xbox starts showing game footage from the final hardware and then you can spit to your hearts content.

I\'m just gonna tell you to go look at my original post again and think...think hard. Oh and one more thing...I hope that picture is not a representation of you.

Oh I ahhh think you forgot this:

It looks like I\'ll get an Xbox. It\'s not looking to good for PS2. EA is going 3 ways. Xbox, Gamecube and Ps2. It is clear that EA will shift their exclusive focus to Xbox. Ps2 will probably come in 2nd this console war. I am wating for Xlaunch! (I\'m so corny)

I think I\'m done with this thread ...

fatson, two things...

1.) Those demos were done on a Geforce2, which is supposed to be two generations behind the NV2A.(the graphics card thats going to be used for the Xbox)

2.) Those demos were demonstrating the Xbox\'s lighting capabilities, and how it is capable of show several objects on screen at a time.(There were like thousands of butterflies in that demo)

Anyways, just wait for Gamestock..
