Reasons why gaming will become more popular!

I could get use to that!

Right...

Oh how cool of you MM to now incite a "i\'m the best at posting a picture and labeling it on someone" flame war.

ViVi you retarded gimp, did I ever say your posts don\'t make sense?  
Moron.

MM, answer my questions please.
Do you believe you act mature on these forums?

What the hell is a gimp?! Is that a word you and your sister made up!?

Hey Trin. I know I shouldn\'t probably ask you this right now because your getting slammed by pretty much every one in this forum, but I\'d appreciate an answer on the earlier question about a multi console forum. Don\'t get me wrong, I love my PS2, but love Nintendo and Sega games (and soon probably Microsoft games to).

I get slammed by most people in this forum simply because I know the factual faults with say, Playstation 2 and I ain\'t afraid to express them, since when was it a crime for me to personally think that GT3 or MGS2 are not the graphical marvels you people make them out to be.

Im a member of very few multi-console forums, so I couldn\'t really answer you\'re question. Try Gaming-Age, there\'s some pretty intelligent people on that forum along with some decent moderators that actually contribute to discussions.

well to be honest I am on both sides, and this may not be acceptable by others I don\'t really care, and hear is what I think is messed up on both ends of this conversation.

1.  I think it is completely unfair for MM to use his clout against others, i.e. putting stupid pictures under peoples names just because he does not seem to agree with that persons oppinions.

2.  the fact that troll boy feeds into MM by continuing to argue, and that fact that he starts alot of flame wars i.e. "Nintendo isn\'t for kddies", "your an idiot", "you can\'t spell".

3.  ViVi, who once had my respect for making good posts, has now lost my respect because he also ha fed into the flamming which he shouldn\'t have, if MM and troll boy were left alone I\'m sure that after some time they would both have moved on and shut up.

now I could be wrong about all of what I said, and I could also be called a hipocrit by ViVi because just as he fed into the argument I, in turn, did too.

but if you wanna flame me I could care less cause only whining *****es argue ever the net with people they have not, and never will, meet.

A gimp is a retard.Quite frankly,it is a word that suits you perfectly Red_X.

ramm, i thought u were better than trin, but u still suprise me

i am an admin.  i have been here since day one, and i have seen fools that put even you and trin to shame.  when it comes to trolls [trin] and adolescents [ramm], i what i like, when i like.  you dont like it?  then move right the hell along to some other forum. apparantly, i doing something right.  thank you, have a nice day.

mm

Trin & Ramm,i don\'t see your necessity to keep badgering an aministrator,you should be thankful to post your opinions. i don\'t care what anybody says personally,so what if someone posts their opinion,is it that big of a deal? it is a freakin game console,it is not like it hurts Nintendo\'s stock or sales because of an opinion. it\'s when you take it so personally that it makes you look foolish. another thing is that there will always be a pro-Sony / PS2 stance here (from members and forum moderators) because if you do happen to read the title of this website / forum,it sort of hints at what console it supports. if it is so hard to figure out,then i feel very sorry for you...look into getting some help

Don\'t lay that stupid guilt trip on me MM, "ohh I thought you were better than Trin but you\'re not" blah blah blah.


You still didnt even answer my question.

i did answer yer question before u asked it

"i do what i like, when i like"

basically, im saying, i run the show.  if i wanna dance around naked and sing "o what a feeling", then i shall do so.

you and trin post here, ONLY cause i allow it.  i poke fun at pokemon and N64, and u guys act like i spit in yer face.  are u guys that paranoid?

mm

Make this clear for me, my feeble mind cannot handle it all at once.
You can act however you like, ie: immature prat and still get away with it; because you\'re the administrator?

[/b]towards you and trin?[/b]  HELL YES!  what are u gonna do about it?  cry?

this is why


i\'ve let u guys post on my forums after many offenses i would ban any other fool for.  im still not sure why.  i guess cause u two or better than the average sony-hater\'s that visit here from time to time.  unless, someone pokes fun at nintendo, and then trin goes ape****, no pun intended.  maybe trin forgot i own a nes, snes, n64, and a color gameboy.  hell, i played mariokart [the only good n64 game] just the other night.  i like nintendo\'s games, but they are the ultimate RIP-OFF ARTIST.  


yer Kommunist leader...

Trin, You crap on about being mature. Yet!!! here u are trying too bring Ddaryl and I into your bs fights.

For 1, mm and I have always fought sense i became a mod. We never really got along. This is how it goes, Ramm shouldn\'t be backing you up. All the other people shouldn\'t be back mm up. But please try not too get Ddaryl and I involved in your crappy little fights. You wanna kiss Nintendo\'s arse, That\'s fine by me.

Can we please just get back on topic here?  90% of the posts on this thread is just flames so lets get the great topic back on topic so to speak, and give it the good credit and discussion it deserves.  Here\'s the original post in case you have all forgotten:

I noticed this this new years eve... adults who have never owned or played a console before were VERY interested in SSX on my playstation 2...
Why?
The graphics!
The graphics got them interested, then when they gave it a chance and played it they were astounded and are remarkably going to buy one!
Then when told it also could play DVD\'s they were even happier beaucse they did not yet own a DVD player! And they were not disapointed at all when told they could buy one most likely in march...

Now that graphics are to the point they are, I belive that gaming will become MUCH more popular then it has been the last millienum! Its a bright gaming future and year ahead!

The playstation 2 is looking to capture the casual auidence, by including a DVD player, have a large varity of games and including the PSX library and having the "sony" name everybody knows. They seem to have something that will break barriers this generation.

I definitely agree.  The 128 bit era will usher in many new and innovative games suitable to all ages.  The best part is that the whole label of games being "kiddy" or a "toy" for your son or daughter is being lifted.  Now parents can freely enjoy their son\'s or daughter\'s games without feeling like a child themselves for indulging in a "toy".  I can\'t wait to see more and more "elders" become seriously interested in gaming and giving it the credit it truly deserves.

i wonder if u were playing pokemon snap on the N64 if it would have the same effect. hmmmm

After reviewing the main topic, I fail to see the point of this post when it was clearly talking about the 128 bit era and not the 32/64 bit era.  If Pokemon Snap were an announced NGC title that we all had screens and movies for, maybe then it would be a rational remark, but right now, I don\'t think that it is.  Sure, a Pokemon game is in the works for NGC, but for every pokemon game, there is one game that is 100x\'s more mature and that is something to really consider especially after considering Nintendo\'s new target audience.

But what i found out was that most adults own these systems already, and wouldnt even let their kids near them for the graphics(i think is to harse). Also, that sure they find the system amazing with the looks feelings, speed, and of course the DVD, but the price gets them everytime. The fact of paying that much for a video game system, scares them away. The true hard core gamer of course buys the products up, and considers the price a minor setback, for the DVD-rom, alone. As DVDs now can be very expenive.

Not always true.  When parents figure out WHAT they can do with the system, the price is irrelevant and considered a good deal.  Hell, if they wanted, they could freely go and explore the mall for a new DVD player and discover the price difference is nearly negligable.  Most parents research their buys before diving in or and the rest simply buy it because it\'s the newest most awesome bad boy on the block.  I think you\'d find the demographic for people purchasing PS2\'s would be for hardcore gamers now and younger kids at christmas, but over time, I believe the sales will really hash out with the majority of the purchases going to those who are over 18.

My point is that these Next-Gen systems allow developers to finally realize the creative ideas that they have. They no longer have the huge technical restraints that they had with the older systems, so it\'s going to be exciting what they do with all this power regardless of the platform.

I totally agree.  I think the number one thing that will turn adults on moreso to videogames is the realism.  Just look at Snake for example, just seeing him run around on screen is enough to make you think of how real it seems.  No more sprite based games or side scrolling shooters, but moreso emphasized on full 3D worlds that everyone can immerse themselves in no matter the demographic.  I think that level of realism is the first step towards gaming becoming a serious household name everywhere rather then a "toy for my kid."

It\'s a bright future for gaming and I think 2001 will be the first step in this expansion odyssey.
