Half Life 2 is going to be better than Doom 3, as Half Life was better than Q3.
I never liked id games from Quake and after! Q2 was crap (talking for single-player always).

Quake is no comparison to Doom man. Doom is what started all this stuff. LOOK at the E3 trailers there is no match (unless Valve purposely showed off a crappy trailer). PLAY the leaks. There is no comparison.

as soon as you stop that damn double posting haha j/k. You'll go to junior member status at 25 posts, and member after like 50 or 100. anything higher is hand picked by the admins, or by mod recommendation to the admins. So start sucking up now and get ahead of the game ;p

So anyway, what are the bets on when the Xbox2 is comming out? I think PS3 will beat it by almost a year.

if microsoft are wanting any chance of becoming number 1 console i should think they will release xbox 2 before ps3. the reason why the ps2 is so successfull is becuase it has been on the market for so much longer then the xbox and and with xbox 2 and ps3 just around the corner xbox aint never going to catch up with ps2. people would rarther wait.

@Praetor:
You cannot compare two games from the trailers I think we should agree on that. You cannot even judge a movie from a trailer, how could you do so with a games?
About the leaks, I just got the one for Doom3, I didn't download the Half-Life one and will not because of the way the data were taken. Of course game is not ready and because of that leak the game will be changed (that's why it's going to be releashed next year and not now as they had told the press).
I believe that we have to wait for the final versions to come up but I do believe that HL2 will be a better single player game than Doom3. I actually don't remember of id creating a nice story, even Doom and Quake had BAD stories.
Of course I recognise that id is the company that created fps (the first-person view and the ability to look around and move wherever you want was in Ultima Underworld first).
That's all!
PS1: I just saw LOTR: The Return Of The King, awesome!
PS2: Anyone played XIII? I'd like to talk about it also!
PS3: Merry Christmas to everyone!

True you cant compare a game by its trailer but c'mon its E3! One of the biggest gaming events -- you would think they would have put more than an half-assed-crap effort into making a decent trailer?
ABout the HL2 leak, the company should have learned its damn lesson four years ago (or however long it was) when the first halflife was leaked. The saying 'get me once, shame on you, get me twice, shame on me' DEFINITELY applies to valve here. The game may be good and all but all that aside, they really did deserve to have that leak man.
I respect companies and their hard work and blah blah blah (im in software engineering) but when the company itself doesnt respect its own programmers enough to provide decent security -- that respect goes out the window. I can say I will buy HL2 and the first place it is going is in the barbecue. (Praetor storms off in an angry rage over Valve).
(Praetor comes back). With regards to D3 and HL2, neither game is ready and the D3 leak is well over a year old man (apparently a corporate leake by ATI too hehe). HL2 may have story and it may be good (I never liked the HL story, nor the game but I'll give it some credit), but it certainly doesnt have (a) the graphics and MUCH more importantly it doesnt have the mood, the atmosphere. Its improved over HL but nothing compared to D3 man.
Just my 0.02

South Africa, I saw XBoxes for the first time this weekend at a local flea market, but these are unoffical "Grey Market" imports, officially we still don't get them here.

Another reason why PC kicks xbox ass! I live in a country which also doesn't have xbox's on the shelf. But I couldn't care less!
Xbox is cool. PC is better.

LOL!!, you think you have it bad, i live in a country where a semi state owned telco company holds a monopoly on all telecommunications, they even limit the ammount of international bandwidth internet users can have, the best broadband available to home users that is almost affordable is ADSL 512/256, which has a 3GB per Month Limit

Here in Greece 384/128 ADSL is around 90- 100 Euro/per month. I still use ISDN, most people (about 70% use PSTN!).
