    Is there much point left?

    Gc intrests you more than the Wii :shock: Haven't you played your games to extinction yet?:p

     

    Lol, yeah, I got my cube on launch day, but there are still sooo many games I still have to check out or left to complete.

     

    I have:

     

    Beyond Good and evil which is still incomplete

    Resident Evil still incomplete

    Warrior Within still incomplete,

    i have yet to get pikmin 2,

    I havent even started Eternal Darkness yet,

    Skies of Arcadia required a doing over....

    F-Zero GX and other multiplayer games provide a lifetimes supply of replayability

    Ikaruga, still incomplete

     

    add to this my 40 odd other games that i still love to play again and again in some way....and about 20 games I still want to check out...and there you go, all your reasons are there...

     

    In fact what you people should do before the new gen hits is, get a PS1 (sony's only good console) and a Dreamcast, and they will provide you with a wealth of classic games that will keep you busy years into the next gen...

    F Zero GX - Have you unlocked the AX tracks?

    Well, GX's soundtrack was a typical videogame soundtrack, but F-Zero X's live guitar versions were so much better, you could listen to them outside the game and they stand up on their own as individual compositions, and that's the sign of all good videogame music, such as the soundtracks from FF7, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross etc, they all have brilliant music thats a pleasure to listen to even when not playing the game. I personally don't consider techno to be music so I was pretty disappointed with F-Zero GX's soundtrack as compared to F-Zero X's. Of course, it is a much better game overall though, but I can't help but feel a little cheated...

    Yep, I do realise that they're not the exact same chips, all I meant to say is that they are similar...I do see your point of view, although I'm pretty sure that Xbox had a Geforce 4, anyway, I dono, maybe the reason I want it cheap is because I don't think theres all that much to draw me to the next gen consoles because the Cube and DS and even PS2 to some extent are keeping me plenty satisfied as it is. I think that Nintendo will have to set a very low price point for the Wii, otherwise , picture your typical British ignoramus, he's going to walk into a game store and see some cool games for the Wii, and might vaguely percieve that the controller is a good thing (you know, in the back of his mind where evil thoughts don't run rampant) but instead, he's going to go home with a PS2 and copy of time crisis which'll run him in the neighbourhood of £40

    Aaah!! The Green hurts my eyeses...but in all honesty, it's pretty distinctive, if a little cheesy now that I look at it properly...and even though I hate disco and anything and everything to do with it im going to go ahead and give you a 7/10 for originality.....seems very...department-store-summer-advertisement like

     

    PS. Let the hate begin....:heh:

    :shock: Have you actually seen Super Mario Galaxy? The system is a far bigger improvement than IGN told you. They tested an outdated development kit.

     

    The system is not quite as cheap as you think. The inner hardware is quite expensive, and the sensor, bluetooth and high-quality disc player (Nintendo will have short loading times) won't be very cheap either. If they can get it sub-$200 without having a loss, then :bowdown:

     

    Yes I know, but the Graphic and sound cards are based on the cubes Gekko and Flipper cards with some graphical enhancements (they are so similar that they were able to allow gamecube functionality based on the Wii's hardware while not needing any extra chipsets or emulators), I'd say a Geforce 4 card could pull off Galaxy graphics easily, and thats what the Xbox had. Xboxes are now about £50-70 if I remember correctly, so the majority of the Wii's expenditure goes towards the bluetooth and motion sensors, and thats hardly going to cost upwards of £70 right?

    Evil. Pure evil. :mad: Although I somehow got full UMS marks on the exam :D

     

    Yes...yes it was...just had it today...I think I managed to scrape an A though, but I had about 2 hours of sleep last night and I'm pretty deadbeat right now...

    It would appear nothing is sacred.

    I was bored so I thought I'd re-post this here ::shrug:

    ^ Dr. Cox when sony announced their super pwnage controller that not only manages to have half assed tilt control, but also manages to exclude rumble while being more uncomfortable than watching American pie with your Grandma...

     

    Below is Dr. Cox (being the bastion of testosterone driven awesomeness that he is) calling Sony "Belinda," writing it a prescription for two testicles before telling them that they are what they eat, and that they clearly went out and devoured a big fat guy didn't they?
