Former XBOX fan, new to this forum, needs info

I\'d just like to say hey, I used to post over at msxbox quite a bit and after what I saw yesterday, I just yawned real loud.  Those games looked boring as hell.  I can\'t believe that some of you were drooling over the graphics.  I think Sony has this one locked up after seeing that crap from Gamestock.  Heck, even Nintendo might pull into second place after that stuff.  Anyway, I think I\'m gonna cancel my XBOX preorder and preorder a Game Boy Advance to play while I wait for the PS2 to drop in price.  The info I wanted was stuff about the PS2  like how many games are in development, etc. Anything positive to make me feel better about changing my mind.  Micro$oft, you blew it...

Anything positive to make me feel better about changing my mind.

-If you get PS2 then you\'ll get games that LOOK just as good of anything Xbox can do graphically.

-Better developers on PS2 than Xbox which means better games.(big plus)

-No large ugly controller to get use to.

-A lot of good exclusive PS2 games this year(MGS2, FFX, ect) and not very many for Xbox.

I love hearig these kind of things. People seeing what kind of brutal disapointment the Xbox truly is then moving on to something superior. Makes me feel good.

PS: Welcome to the forums. Solid Snake is right, we do have an enormous amount of hatred for the idiotic gimps at MSXBOX.

I hate them with a passion...

Hey, welcome to the forum.

I can\'t give you much info myself, but look around, you will learn much. One thing you should know is that there is a general hatred of the MSXBOX forums here. Those people have got to be the stupidest people on the planet(not you, you have wisened up and come here ).

Another thing we hear alot from newbies is "How do I get a picture under my name?" To get a pic under your name you need to have at least 400 posts and have been here for at least 4 months. Once you achive that, PM(personal message) mm or SoulGrind(the two resident administrators).

Look around, learn, and have fun.

the darkside has you..welcome to the thirdplace.

hi, there is a grip of sweet ars games beign released this month, i dont know how much of the ps2 you know about but i start with the simple stuff, today Onimusha and Ring of Red were released today, here is a link to the onimusha review so you can check it out:

http://ps2.ign.com/reviews/11520.html

it is safe to say, that this is going to be one of the best games this year, I dont have any links to a Ring of red preview but ill post one later, Z.O.E. will be released on the 27th of march and is going to be an awesoem mech game, alot of hype has been surrounding this game, and to top it off its coming witha demo of MGS2! Quake 3 revolution will be release this month as well

a few games have been delayed that were supposed to be released this month were GT3 " you have got to have heard of this game" will be released in May now, Dark cloud wich is supposed to be a Zelda killer will be releasedin April, Red faction, wich will be an awesome fps will be released in June. and  sony will be releasing a 40 GB Hrad drive "wich kicks ars" in japan some time in July "no solid date on a  U.S. release"

MGS2 has gotten a release date some time in fall, this iwll probably the icing on PS2\'s cake for 2001.

you get the dvd player of course, its a really good dvd player, not the best, but as good as the average ones out on the market. and there is a bunch of more stuff i can tell you about, if you have any more questions about it then just ask ill be sure to answer you as soon as i can, welcome ot the forums, as long as you have repect for others, they will have respect for you

xbox wipes the floor with ps2 graphicly,even the player models in nfl fever and football game not even done look better,that big ass jombotron.. madden is ugly look at the screens of madden.

only reason to not to get xbox is if you got really small hands,can\'t wait a little longer for ps2 games.don\'t like pc content without a kb and mouse.


i am glad my brother is buying ps2 because my ass will wait  another year even 2,3 just because i know nvidia rocks when comes to graphics.

We have a mixed bag of emotions on Xbox graphically. Its still on half completed hardware

 

I think Sony has this one locked up after seeing that crap from Gamestock.  Heck, even Nintendo might pull into second place after that stuff.  Anyway, I think I\'m gonna cancel my XBOX preorder and preorder a Game Boy Advance to play while I wait for the PS2 to drop in price.

Sony will be hard to beat. PS2 price drop some where around Xmas

There are over 200 games do out this year for PS2. Sony has 20 1st party projects which haven;t been revealed yet.

Games like MGS2, FFX, Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance, The Getaway, Dropship, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, ZOE, Twisted Metal Black, Red Faction, The Lost, Run Like Hell. Extermination, GT3, Wipeout Fusion, Blood Omen, Soul Reaver

and so much more are more then enough reason IMO to purchase a PS2, and quite a few of those games already are on par with Xbox\'s Gamestock games


I still might pick up an Xbox but my interest faded somewhat with Gamestock.

welcome to the boards

Whoooo let the troll out???

Honestly, shut up jaggies. We have already heard your misguided, uneducated, twisted, and insane opinion and views on things enough. Just shut the hell up. Madden2001 looks better than NFLFever and that is extremely obvious, and it\'s only a first-gen game.

 The Xbox was over hyped and now we see it\'s terrible truth. Live with it and shut the hell up.

Speaking of trolls, there\'s ProfesserX.

Those people have got to be the stupidest people on the planet(not you, you have wisened up and come here

So are you telling me if you post here and support the PS2 that makes you smart and if you support the Xbox that makes your stupid?@?

Ok Leatherface if you like the PS2 thats great but just dont listen to this guys advice thats some kind of assbackward logic.

I don\'t remember anyone changing the rules. As far as I know it is still 500 posts for a pic. Unless one becomes a troll then they get what ever new pic that MM comes up with for whiners/lamers/posers/trolls.

Yea i saw the NFL Fevel Models. Jaggie city

Anyways, welcome to the PS2 Central Forum.

The Xbox, too early to say what the games will be like compared to the PS2. However, what was shown, didn\'t impress me at all. Don\'t get me wrong, they look good, but nothing the PS2 can match.

The PS2 still has the support advantage over the Xbox (well, mainly Japanese support). Konami\'s main focus right now, PS2. This will stay true until...PS2 fails (which isn\'t likely). PS2 has tons of games coming that are pretty amazing looking (matching what the Xbox shown at Gamestock). Soul Reaver 2, The Getaway, GT3, Shadow of Memories, Silent Hill 2, Extermination, RE4, Omnimusha, MGS2 (of coarse), The Lost, Run Like Hell, Red Fraction, and this is all on the top of my head. PS2 has plenty of life in it.

Welcome to the forum Leatherface.

We are a mixed bag of all sorts of people, opinions and we do of course have the occasional fanboy and troll. But I\'m sure you\'ll soon learn who is smart and who isn\'t. Just relax and have a good time.
