Ha ha Vic. I thought some one would have known, but apparently I was wrong. What made it so funny though? I'm just curious. Also, what was spoiled for you powerfulone1987? Was it something I said? If it was, my fault. Anyone know how much memory will be offered on the PS3 memory stick?
Wasn't referring to you.
The people who make GTA games are good at what they do. But is the reason why the graphics aren't that impressive because they don't know how to fully utilize the tech? From the looks of it the next gen won't have any games that deliver mediocre graphics. As far as quality goes, do you believe Sony developers will deliver the best games? When I say this I mean overall. Take sound, control, artistic direction, dialog/voice acting, re-playability, innovation/originality etc into consideration. People seem to think that when for example G4 has an award show, that is based on fan votes, that everyone agrees. Do you think votes and sales numbers always represent the majority or just fanboys?
Well I don't really know about the graphics, because everybody is saying the Xbox has better graphics than PS2. And the Gamecube has better graphics than the PS2. So whose to say that this status won't remain with the new consoles.
I don't own a Xbox because the game library sucks in my opinion.
So PS2 does have that over the Xbox the games are better.
The Gamecube is just kind of in a world of it's own. It has good games and good graphics that they say are better than the PS2. It's just an all around good system. I don't know if Nintendo are working on improving the graphics much for the Revolution or not since they are mainly focused on the innovative new way of playing games. I haven't really heard much about their graphics improvement, only about the new control. Which I have no comment on because I have no idea how it feels to play with it and how it will be and how it will work into certain types of games besides shooters. And since I dont play shooters I hope it does really well outside of shooting games. Especially since I am really looking for too Super Smash Brother's Melee 3.
Nintendo are so much better than sony and microsoft, sure they have more games and stuff, but nintendo does what it wants dsnt make half as many games, and still gets the same amount of money, because its quality not quantity, especaily when you have something like mario kart double dash, which is where the gamecube shines, party multiplayer games. So each console has their best points, X-box good games and best hardware, PS2 biggest game libary and best for 1 player games, GC best for multiplayrer games cause they are so damn fun.
The breakdown was very well done.
Sony-Game Library
Microsoft-Hardware, on-line
Nintendo-Innovation, multi-player
I remember reading somewhere that graphics is the #1 selling point of a game. True or false? Why do people tend to gravitate towards the same type of game? Games that are in the vein of GTA, MGS, FPS, etc.
nintendo doesnt make as much money as sony or microsoft, because they have'nt sold as many consoles. but i doubt they're in as much debt as microsoft.
victor, i think it does that because of how popular the ps2 is and how successful its been with a less graphically powered machine.yet its still the most popular and successful console of this generation.
the playstayion2 is successful on the back of how big the ps1 was and the fact that it was the first console to cater for people who weren't really huge gaming fans
it managed to sell to the sports fans and hence EA sold and grew massively on the back of its FIFA, NBA, NFL liscences
the general consensus among those types of gamers is a "stick to what you know" attitude and hence the ps2 outsold the others
and its probably the reason the the ps3 will outsell the other this time around

Well than don't quote what I say and respond to it with some little irrelevant non funny comment.
Is it your time of the month?
An irrelevant comment would be something like this-
'I think you mean 'then', and would a couple of commas hurt?'
While we're here though, let's see what made you throw your toys out of the pram.

I do wonder about the graphics.How is it that some Game Makers such as Squaresoft, have awesome graphics unmatched by many and others don't. Is it a specific technology that Squaresoft has discovered or created that nobody else has or what.
Very confusing.

A pretty reasonable reply. It's not sarcastic, it just requires a slight amount of analogous thinking.
Just in case...
You- other game makers.
Picasso- Squaresoft.
The pen- whatever basic software is used to create games for the PS2.
Now go about your business.

There are many other factors to consider, because gameplay is subjective. I don't like any games on the PS2 as much as I like RE4, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, and so on.
You have to consider marketing whenever something has a dominant position in a market.
Why is PS3 so serious? They focused completely on it's specs. The new Xbox doesn't, and it will take a backseat in sheer power for the first time. Microsoft is more concerened with monopolizing media apparently, making the Xbox more of a media center than a game console.
PS3 on the other hand, is gearing towards hardcore gamers by making a friggin kick-ass supercomputer system.
