Quote:Man I hate the way every one say's the only difference is graphics, they are totally wrong, but no one corrects them because they say they are open minded but are really biased toward nintendo. If I said that about nintendo's controler being the only difference every1 would jump down my throat. Listen, the 360 is going to have (and im'e 99.9% sure of this) better internet capabilities than the rev, thats a big deal considering the popularity of internet games like world of warcraft and counter strike which i have both played and loved. Y will it have better net capabilities? simply because microsoft concentrated on the net functions and... it's microsoft! of all companies they should know how to produce a wicked net experience on their console. Right second point you can download and play classic and new arcade games like geometry wars on 360, which i couldn't download of the net but I could download nearly every nintendo game off the internet ... for free aswell. Next the ps3 has the eye toy camera evey1 seems to ignore that, I had the original eye toy and thought it was guna be shit but it actually worked suprisingly well, Did u see ps3's demonstration of the guy moving the cups on screen via the camera? How's that for innovation, just think of the games u could create with that, in fact the possibilities are even more varied than that of the rev's controler but no 1 seems to point that out.
So no the difference isn't just graphics, yes they have better graphics which can only be another plus but u can't say thats the only plus.
Well guess what, the XBOX360's online gaming service will probably be better, but I doubt the Rev's online gaming service is gonna suck. I mean imagine playing counter-strike or an awsome fps on teh rev online with the controller.
Quote:I believe soooo. Thing is, nintendo is hitting gold with that idea because lets face it, only a handful of people know about emulation. And emulators have serious issues these days. Ever seen how glitchy the n64 emulator is?
Ps2 emulated the ps1. It worked fine. I'm sure its just the rom that you run on the emulator, nothing else. if anything, the emulator makes the games look better. It emmulates the game better. Why you think halo2 looks better on the 360?
I know its alittle late to go back to the hacking part of this thread in the beginning..but just to add to it so all the company's look bad just not the DS and Gamecube, Xbox 360 Game disc's where successfully decoded the first day they where out and in terms of handhelds, PSP successfully had a trojan to worry a couple weeks after release.
Nintendo should not even be in the same category as Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo has been known since its Nintendo 64 days as the ?Kiddie System.? People who ask me what gaming system should I buy my 5-12 year old? I always say the Nintendo Game cube.
Serious gamers have always bought from Sony and now Microsoft. The only reason I own a Game cube was because of Resident Evil exclusive releases. Nintendo did an exclusive license with Capcom to capture the mature gaming crowd. The Resident Evil games are the only games I own for the Game cube. Everything else on the Cube is ?Kiddie Junk? and cross platform releases which look and feel better on the XBox instead.
I can only see a repeat of Nintendo's marketing plans with the Revolution. In the end the Next Gen console wars could be a repeat of the last 4 years. With Microsoft XBox being more appealing in the Americas and UK, and Nintendo being more appealing to Consumers in Asia and the South Pacific. A kind of East meets West "Cold War" if you will for the gaming market. When this scenario takes place look for alliances with Japanese companies. Such as Nintendo going the way of Sega by hanging up the hardware becoming a software developer exclusive under Sony. The irony in that would be staggering.
Some of these posts remind me of being 13 years old at school and arguing about weather the Mega Drive is better than the SNES, only it's worse because the Revolution isn't even out yet.
Thank-you for entertaining me at work when I'm bored.
