General Chat / RE:ghostbusters 3?
« on: September 20, 2005, 10:50:25 PM »
I seriously doubt it. I do remember some talk of a Ghostbusters 3 about 10 years ago... BUT now it is long gone. Its D.O.A. The original 2 were a zillion years ago in movie terms and the budget wouldn't warrant it nor as someone posted the senior citizen cast.

>>  And you're right because you spoiled the ending of a movie?  <<
No I just posted that to prove I've been on this forum a very long time. Frankly I dont recognize your screen name or many of the other Nintendo fanboys. IAN SANE is an old timer like myself who has been on these boards a very long time too. I posted that stuff to prove I've been here a long time and that I am not some flamer / troll baiter who came to drop a bomb and go.

>>  hey, can you read my fortune too?

Where will I be in 1-2 years? What are my lucky #'s? <<

No I am not fortune telling... I am just adding my 2 cents to this discussion. I am just a gamer who IS NOT biased toward any system or company.  I am not biased For or Against. IF you want a bunch of Nintendo fanboys who just spout off Ninty is # 1 !!! Ninty is so GREAT and can do no wrong ... The Revoltuion will definitely be #1 and Sony and Microsoft will lose the next round, etc etc  etc.  Wow that controller is perfect for FPS's etc ( that is a major laugh ! )... you might as well NOT HAVE A FORUM. You guys can just circle jerk each other to obvilion.

>>  Bwahahahaha, I seriously can't wait til Revolution comes out, either these doomsayers will admit they were wrong or just plain disappear <<

AGAIN  I've been on these boards a long time. Yes I would easily admit if I am wrong. I have no problem with that. BUT conversely if or as I predict WHEN the Revolution fails to catch fire... will YOU say ' hey I was wrong .... that controller really put a nail into Nintendo's coffin ' ?

>>  Wait, why will the controller make Nintendo fail, again? I don't think you said, o psychic one..... Is it because the controller is too different? <<

Yup. It is too radically different. AND the fact that it will be YOUR MAIN CONTROLLER. It should have been an peripheral. The video was interesting but if you think Dentist Sims or Surgery Sims or Orchestra sims or Sword fighting sims will catch fire - I'll bet otherwise. In addition can you imagine playing endless hours on one of your favorite games with that THING ? You will be seriously tired or cramping up. There is a reason console controllers all look very similar ... because it is a perfected shape... it is optimal. The developers talk how they wanted a familar shape thus they made it into a remote control shape.... when is the last time you held a remote control more than a minute or two? Imagine holding on to one for hours on end and using it as your primary control device.

My whole post basically said The Revolution will be third again but this time it will actually lose marketshare / it lose more mainstream gamers LIKE MYSELF and not gain them like they should have been aiming to do this generation. I seriously wonder about you Nintendo fanboys who swallow up anything that Ninty produces. Yes that controller is revolutionary / radically different ... it can be a great controller ... BUT the average gamer / the mainstream are not going to for the Revolution because of that controller... they are going to be REPULSED by it.  It's a freakin' remote control !  The average gamer / the mainstream dont buy consoles based on the controller.... they buy them based on the games. Nintendo had trouble attracting the mainstream gamers this generation with the Cube... it needed to attract more and more of them this generation.. Nintendo needed something to gain more gamers. Making an ackward, weird and different input device your main controller isn't a cure but another problem.  The average gamer / mainstream will not be running out to buy the Revolution... they will be running away from it.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:The Official IWATATON Speech Thread

Man I just read every freakin' post here ! I really wanted to see what Planet Gamecube posters had to say.  God I hate how these forums work ...  Anyway I've been on these boards for a very long time, was on the previous Planet Gamecube board ( I remember DR GAKMAN - remember him? ) , etc. I own an Xbox, Gamecube and an Alienware Aurora FX -53 PC. I am not an Xbox fanboy , Nintendo fanboy but I do prefer PC games. I told people here about Jean Gray dying in X2 before it was released ( i work in the motion picture industry ). I told everyone here that Splinter Cell on Xbox was going to outsell Metroid Prime ( all the other Planet Gamecubers thought I was nuts / dead wrong ). I told everyone here  the Xbox was going to be number #2 and Gamecube #3 ( you can guess what most forum posters said to that ).

Anyway my 2 cents ( this is a forum after all ).... NINTENDO HAS FREAKIN' LOST IT's MIND ! They lost it by putting a figurative gun to it's head in the form of this controller and blown it's brains out. My prediction this time ( like some of the other times I've gone out on a limb and posted them here - got flamed for posting critical Nintendo posts ) ... Revolution is worse than the Gamecube in user base. That controller is a revolution and it's playability maybe be revoltuionary / fun whatever BUT this Revolution will be a massive failure. It will go down in flames. YES the die hard Nintendo fanboy fanatic will still buy it  BUT Nintendo will lose some of the mainstream gamers who bought a Gamecube last generation... they will not gain them this generation. They won't be #1 ( I think Microsoft might actually pull it off this time ) and it won't be #2 ( again Xbox 360 or PS3 )... but it will be in an even worse third place position. Of course Nintendo being Nintendo - they will probably still be profittable.
I do think that there will definitely be some great games which take advantage of that controller ... BUT  I think that controller should have be an add on controller like the Donkey Konga drum set or something.

Anyway mark this prediction along with the others I have made and become true. In one to two years time we will all know who is right or wrong. Now I will put on my flame proof suit of armor....

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Where did all the Gamers Go?
« on: March 10, 2005, 08:52:29 AM »
Where did all the gamers go?  EASY ... the SAME place as the games... ELSEWHERE. You Nintendo die-hard fanatics don't get it yet. Microsoft & Sony aren't winning because of " image " or " coolness". They are winning because they have the games people want to play. They have the type of games most people want to play. Nintendo rules in the I LOVE HALO 2 games realm. Most people don't want to play those games anymore... and those who still do, have a Gamecube. Nintendo finished third place this round and will finish third again next round UNLESS people change their gaming tastes. Considering that the median age of gamers is skewing older, I doubt that will happen. IF Resident Evil 4 were multi-console, the Gamecube version would be in last place like it always is.

General Chat / RE:All Videogame lovers should look at this site...
« on: February 01, 2005, 11:31:08 PM »
If you want to read some absolutely great / funny reviews of " Alone in the Dark " go to rotten tomatoes and look at the cream of the crop reviews. Man are those newspaper critics vicious!

" Alone in the Dark is no better than whatever you might pick up while wearing a blindfold at Blockbuster, even if you happen to reach into a trash can."

"Alone in the Dark is so awful, anyone who spends 10 bucks seeing it ought to get 11 bucks change and a written apology from the director and cast."

" Alone in the Dark co-stars perpetual party-girl Tara Reid as an archeologist. That alone should give you some clue as to how bad this movie is."

""As video game adaptations go, even Pong: The Movie would have a lot more personality."

"This horror film, spun off from an old Atari video game, is so inept on every level, you wonder why the distributor didn't release it straight to video, or better, toss it directly into the trash."

"Alone in the Dark offers ample evidence that House of the Dead helmer Uwe BollUwe Boll should put down his joystick -- quickly, before anyone else gets hurt."

" "If someone recommends you see Alone in the Dark, assume that person hates you or at least dislikes you."

"If you are alone in the dark with Alone in the Dark, be sure to bring chewing gum -- it will provide entertainment."

Yeah G4 really ruined Techtv and now G4Techtv is unwatchable. The Screen Savers is now horrendous.

General Chat / All Videogame lovers should look at this site...
« on: February 01, 2005, 10:36:30 PM »
www.uweboll.com

Why should should videogame lovers visit this site? Because it is the site of the absolutely worst movie director of all who keeps getting the licences to make video games into movies and thus makes the worst video game movies ever. He just released that craptacular movie Alone in the Dark. He did House of the Dead. UNFORTUNATELY he also just finished Bloodrayne and he is going to make FAR CRY ( I LOVE that game !) . Anyway hopefully it is still up.  IF NOT ... here is what you will see. Someone great hacker has hijacked his website and when you type in his name.... you will see "  PLEASE stop making movies ".  HILARIOUS.

Bungie isn't losing anything. 1.5 MILLION PRE-SALES  and counting. It is the biggest video game launch in history.
