XB lineup looking better and better....
« on: May 09, 2001, 06:49:58 AM »
This isn\'t really a debate, but it always seems to end that way, so I\'m putting this here.

After the recent Obi Wan, AI, Matrix 2, Buffy(I h8 the show, but love action adventures) etc announcements, the promise of at least a few more big announcements at E3, and a line up I was already interested in prior to both, I must say, XB\'s library is looking better and better. I can\'t wait to get my hands on it, and anyone who\'s already written it off is foolish IMO....

1.  It\'s going to end up a big debate because you put this in a PS2 site\'s debate forum.  

2.  Since you are a known Xbox fanboy, you will attract Sony and Nintendo fanboys like a virgin on prom night.

As to your opinion, well, that\'s all fine.  It\'s, after all, difficult to disagree with an opinion.  Buffy won\'t be very good, I think, that style of game, taken from a series usualy sucks.  I\'m looking forward to hearing about the Matrix games (even if it sucked, it\'ll be pretty sweet - and probably popular), as will a few of the others they are talkin\' about.

That says it all. Since you want to label people... unfairly.... **** you.


Rich.... what does \'pants\' mean? I\'m taking it that\'s bad. If so, go to hell. You could just say they aren\'t your thing, but you diss the entire lineup because what? There\'s something for everyone announced, and a real gamer wouldn\'t diss the lineup.

I\'ve read enough of EThugg to know that only an Xbox fanboy would think that label is unfair.

If you say so :rolleyes:

You can **** off too, since with your lack of intelligence, you can\'t do much else. If you can\'t deal with a truely unbiased, honest opinions, then you got a problem. I personally suggested to no fewer than 4 people in the last week to pick up a PS2. And they did, and were happy.

Fact is this: All three systems have good software lineups so the playing field is even in that respect.  Third party support is no longer an issue for any of the three big players and you will start to see a gap come from somewhere...could be any thing graphics, audio, online...could be anything and I think Xbox is more capable than any of them to branch out into those areas with ease.

Sorry, I almost always try to add to the topic along with any off-topic coments I would offer, so here ya go...

I want to see the rather phat list of Xbox games out  n\' running before I can get excited about any of them and will dismiss the hype for xbox on a PS2 forum as I please.

You can dismiss whatever you please, but PS2 looked great before there were games up and running, same with XB. And there are games up and running on XB. Munch, Malice, Halo, Azurik, Nightcaster, etc are all running. Are you saying you never got excited about a PS2 gamebefore you saw the finished game? If so, I\'ll call you a damn dirty liar! :p You can be excited about gamesthat aren\'t in stores. And the announced list of XB games looks great. It\'s got more hot properties than DC ever got. And I really liked DC, so it stands to reason, most people would be excited about XB (and GC for that matter. )

It\'s the promise of how great they\'re going to look that is putting me off. Just haven\'t seen it yet. Combine that with no trust of MS and you can see where I\'m at, right? Besides being at a PS2 forum...

Have you looked at the close up Munch pics? See the moist eyes with their reflectiveness? I think XB will be fine in the graphics department. That\'s just my opinion though. We\'ll see....

In my ****ing opinion, the Xbox line-up doesn\'t look good or bad, just unclear. Halo is being developed by Bungie who never made a good game before and Munch is being developed by a Bunch of fools! Haha get it? Bunch munch? Ok it wasn\'t that funny but the last to Abe games were not anything special and they\'ve never even done a 3D game before.

But the point is we don\'t know whether Xbox games will be good or not because Microsoft doesn\'t have a developers that we absolutely know will make good games that you\'ll enjoy. They have the PC developers but what about the big name ones with their key franchises? Sega seems to be the only one that comes to my mind and they\'ll probably make ports of all their Xbox games.

That\'s why I\'m not getting Xbox. I don\'t know what to expect from it so I\'ll stick with someone more reliable. Aka Nintendo...

If you\'ve read the presses impressions of Munch, you\'d know that Munch, and Malice, are both doing quite well.

Sega, Acclaim, Activision, EA, Konami, Tecmo, Universal, etc have big name games in development for XB. What are you talking about? Square , Nintendo and Sony are the only major companies not making XB games. And in Squares case, that may not be forever....

I don\'t doubt Nintendo will have great success with GC, and Sony\'s already had success with PS2, but these don\'t have to be at the expense of XB. The markets getting bigger and bigger. There\'s room for 3. And we all know what happens when one companies in control too long... if there are no options, there\'s no way to keep Sony and Nintendo in check.
