So just imagine how much more powerful the games will become.

yep that\'s right smart -ass, start a flame war. I love it how you completly avoid the topic, cause you have nothing else better to say, than to just waste peoples time. Either yoo stick to the topic are don\'t even bother posting.

Also if I am a fanboy as you say, than it obviously takes one to know one.

Tell that to EA, Bungie, the makers of MUCH etc.... i\'m sure they would love to hear your insight on the matter, as well as MS.

Are you all daft??? Starfox, Luigi, Eternal Darkness, and that Smash Bros shot even all look *great*!


Werd.  What\'s up with these people?  Don\'t they see that these games positively look amazing with the exception of Waverace and Dinosaur Planet?

Why not MS said they we\'re ready a month ago !!!!They also said they met there promise to have these kits in Devs hands before E3

Doesn\'t mean Devs have had a chance to get them up and the code running on them but as far as I understand dev\'s have begun receiving them

Wave Race looks great in movement...  Hell, the original still looks gorgeous IMO.

Anyway, it\'s interesting to see that some aren\'t impressed by what\'s out there.  By and large it all looks fantastic, but it\'s still kind of like: "eh..."

Aside from Madden, nothing has really stood out for me from any of the three consoles (although I haven\'t seen much of Xbox yet)

Thats the exact point Im trying to make here, but all OGodly does is make smartass comments.
They should have them by now.
They should have at lease Demos running off them for E3.
But they dont.
They keep delaying it like its the 64DD.

I hear you man, but what can you do, I hope to GOD they got them today or yesterday. Even if they did we wont see them anywhere E3. LIke i was saying EA said they don\'t don\'t have them yet, same goes for Much. Also MS said "we wont see any games at E3 running on final dev" and that is the key point here that i have been trying make. People who are expecting to see XBOX games running on final dev kits this E3 are kidding themselves.

No all you do is make smart ass comments, and then turn them around on me. I explained why already, are  you the HEAD of EA or the Maker of MUCH. No i didn\'t think so yet here you are playing GOD dictating what is what. These companys a week ago said they didn\'t have them, EA said a week ago they didn\'t have them. Which brings us to the next point

No they shouldn\'t, if you weren’t such DUMB ass you\'d realize this. Go back and read

Personally I think the GameCube is doing quite well to live up to my expectations - the only title I have to look at to impress is Faction 5\'s Rogue Squadron 2, the amount of detail and overall quality of the environments shown in the screenshots is stunning. I wonder if F5 is still working on that remake of Turrican :)_

I still think the water effects on the in-game vids look like an N64 game.  Only when they show the replays does it look decent, but even then I still don\'t like the look of it.

Fair enough.  I wonder if that\'s part to blame for giving the N64 engine to a different company.  Maybe they got a hold of it and went, "uhhh..."

Who knows?  Either way though, pretty or not, I can\'t wait to get this one.  It should still be a blast, no?

The facts:

-Developers DO have final kits.

-Final systems are IN production.

-None of the games have been ported to final kits for E3 as far as we know.

-None of the launch titles will use the FINAL kits potential. And that\'s ok, none of PS2 or GCs 1st gen games use the full potential either.

-If the games are poor now, they will likely be POOR at launch, unless they have a lot of hardworking and talented programmers who are working nonstop. Sorry, but unfinished kits are no excuse. Push the unfinished kit further to compensate, or deal with having a crappy game.

Give me the link, saying they do.  Why i ask like i said many times EA said 4-5 days ago they did not have them, also Much said the same. Now if they got them 2-3 days before, that still dosen\'t change the argument, thus it based on the fact that just as MS said offically none of the XBOX games will be running on the NV2A at E3.
Also correct me if i was wrong but 3-4 weeks ago when the NV2A was produced, then implemented into the final dev kit ,it CRASHED!!! remeber??? So that\'s probably why it took some time. Also MS may have gotten a few chips to a few dev days before E3, but what good is that.

Well if your dissapointed with GC you must think PS2 is crap cause GC sure does kick its ass. Have you seen the Raven Blade movie? OMG!!
The Naughty Dog game is a f***ing joke!

Agreed, but GC I think has a ways to go, though i\'m confident that Nintendo  will give us some kick ass games. I think we should reserve our judgment for the rest of E3 were will get to see what Nintendo is made of, same goes for the rest.

Is Raven Blade FMV or realtime gameplay


The Naughty DOg game looks downright sweet to me, but a  couple of fanboy Zealots like you would never allow themselves to admit a SOny game kicks ass

Nice try N-Flower

step aside  now
