HuskyCaucasian Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 This XBox 360 Release show sucks big time. On top of that, other than it's look, the system isnt all that impressive. PS3 is gonna blow it out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox It To Em Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 The graphics were underwhelming, and were merely a notch or two above what the Xbox can currently produce. Of course those are just games in early development so we really don't know anything yet and will have to wait for E3 to see more footage. I wonder what the Rev and PS3 will be like.

Well, the improvemnt is that XBox 360 will be HD. However, that is a moot point since PS3 will be HD as well with better equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will Rev and as you said PS3. They're just having all the 360 games support 720p instead of just 480p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I speculate that this next-gen is going to concentrate on offering more gameplay experiences (i.e. dynamic NPCs and environments, humongous worlds, limitless interactivity, etc.). I'm really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 I will give the XBox 360 credit for using wireless controllers. I hope the batteries have a long life, so that worries me. other than that, i like the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Wavebird for Cube and a Logitech wireless pad for Xbox and they're great (plan to get one for PS2 soon), and wireless controllers are absoluetly amazing, just as long as their battery life is decent.

Buehrle>Wood Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Wavebirds own. I think we can all assume the Rev will be Wavebird exclusive. That will proabaly leave PS3 as the only thing with cords(unless they are planning otherwise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) PS3 definitely looks like it is going to destroy this version of the Xbox. I saw some video of this PS3 game called Dark Sector that looked ridiculously sweet. Just what I need, an excuse to drop hundreds of dollars on a new system. Oh well, at least I have some time. Edit: My bad, Dark Sector will be on the next generation Xbox and Playstation. Still looks sweet. Edited May 13, 2005 by ZoomSlowik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Prawn Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 We have PS2 at home at love it. My brother has XBox. I can't say I was overly impressed by it, but to each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I was overly impressed by it, but to each their own. I had a PS2 for about 2 1/2 years and the day I got my XBox is could tell a huge difference.. The graphics are smoother and the loading time is way faster.. The biggest difference that I could see in this case was in NCAA 2005.. When you simulated in dynasty mode it would take forever but with XBox the weeks go by so fast, the recruiting goes by so fast.. When you save a game on XBOX it takes like 5 seconds as opposed to the like 20 it takes PS2 which doesnt seem like much but when im in a hurry to go somewhere and im trying to save its faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox - Better graphics, no memory cards needed, faster loading times, better games (see Halo and Halo2)...just better. Any good game for PS2 you can get for the X.

I'm in no way dissing the Xbox or unjustly boasting the PS2 (I gladly own all three consoles and enjoy them equally), but that last statement is just asinine. There are tons of great games for PS2 that aren't on Xbox, such as MGS3, DMC3, or GoW. The fact is that there are many great exclusive games on every console and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably a fanboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also belive that the big N has the best exclusive games, but there's also a lot of good Xbox games that are exclusive besides the Halo series (which is grossly overrated IMO). For example, Crimsom Skies, Oddworld, and Panzer Dragoon Orta come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
