General Gaming / RE:Report: Sony to cut up to 20,000 jobs

 I agree with jarob, we have been talking about the gamecube price cut, and how it will affect the PS2.  Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox are affected by eachothers actions.

TalkBack / RE:Namco Pac-Man Pac-In Deal

« on: October 15, 2003, 05:31:09 PM »

Im sooo going to buy this game no matter if its $49.99. I was a pacman fanatic in the 80's, and this reinvention from Iwatani-san, and Myamoto-san is something I didnt see coming. I hope the bundle it with Soul Caliber 2 though, becuase the other games dont seem fun to me. Too bad some hardcore gamers can't tell this game is one of the best sequels to come out this year in my opinion.

Nintendo Gaming / (Piracy) Gamecube

« on: October 15, 2003, 04:49:05 PM »

  I for one think people that pirate games are selfish, disrespectfull, and other stuff that would make me banned if I said more.  The reason i bring this up in the Gamecube discussion forum, is because pirates have infiltrated the Gamecube.  New Gamecube Network Loader

People dont understand that good, original games that are good should be supported by ca$h.  That I'm too poor to buy new games anyway excuse is old too, If you can't afford to buy new released games, dont be selfish and wait!  More powerful computers are coming out, and if piracy becomes as  popular like it is in China, there wont be a game industry!  

Well, if that happens maybe arcades will come back.....but thats beside the point.

Now that Gamecube sold like crazy from the $100. price point; I think Atari should think it over!

I think sticking with Planetgamecube.com Would be kinda cool, because it would be part of the websites history and I think for example a place called planetNES.com would be kinda nostalgic, and cool.

   Its a little strange that a large quantity of top people in the Videogame business are leaving their Companies.  Maybe, (and I mean maybe) This is happening because of the lack of originality in the business as it is, and Companies have become so big, or are under pressure from stock holders not to have a bad selling game.  Maybe these former employees want to make a small company, or work in something they feel is different.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Is Skies of Arcadia Legends any good?

« on: October 09, 2003, 10:30:05 PM »

The only reason i didnt buy this game was because I completed  the Dreamcast version earlier.  I know theres a new character, but i dont know if thats enough to buy the Gamecube version! I should buy it when its 19.99 or something, payed for it already anway.  I enjoyed this game more than a lot of the Final Fantasy games.

« on: September 20, 2003, 02:05:08 AM »

If they wanted to make this exclusive, Blizzard would have announced that by now.  And they wouldnt have gone to all the trouble of announcing it to all the console systems.   Well anything is possible, but its severly doubtful this will ever happen.

In the Nintendophiles website they say GBA  game Tales of Phantasia sold 52,50 units http://www.n-philes.com/php/epypkfeyykfvykylppz.php. Seems like Namco is banking on Nintendo systems in general!

How about 500 k!  If the game is as good as famitsu says it is, then it deserves to sell like hot cakes. Figures like this mean we can see more RPG love from namco, and maybe from other 3rd party developers that have been ignoring the gamecube potential.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Factor 5+ATI+Microsoft+Nintendo= ??rumors

« on: August 19, 2003, 06:13:44 PM »

I think sony is going to let part of the CELL processor do the graphics, I dont think they care about special effects. Seeing that the CELL is whats being hyped about when theres talk about PS3; similirly to they emotion synthesizer for PS2.  And all this talk about a Gentlemans Agreemant is just wishfull thinking, or too much imagination.  Can't anyone see how this is a good business oportunity for both Nintendo and Microsoft?  I dont think Microsoft plans on making a handheld gaming system in the future. All those rare games that where being developed arent going just going to waste.  Theres a good change of Microsoft porting the games to N-gage or any of few handhelds coming out.   Just because an Isuzu uses a chevy motor, doesnt mean its agreement with GM to beat Toyota.  Well its not impossible for Microsoft and Nintendo do plan something, But i doubt it.........A LOT!!!

Nintendo Gaming / RE:ATI making chip for Xbox2! What about Nintendo?

« on: August 15, 2003, 03:03:09 PM »

I dont see any barriers when it comes to ArtX working on the next Xbox console. ArtX and ATI had different designs for a GPU, but When ATI bought them they worked togethor to make the Radeon 9700. If microsoft is going ot make their next console based on PC hardware, why wouldnt ArtX help out? Unless indulges on hows its being made( They shouldn't give out too much info right on NES5) ArtX could be working on both platforms. There are 3 desing teams put togethor by ArtX's Orton was named president and chief operating officer of the merged company. Unless ATI or Nintendo Indulge us on some info all we can do is speculate.

Or maybe its going to be an evolved version of the flipper?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:ATI making chip for Xbox2! What about Nintendo?

« on: August 14, 2003, 06:13:13 PM »

Well Microsoft had to work with someone other than Nvidia, Because of the pricing disputes they had about the GPU for Xbox. The next best or better company to do it is ATI.  If this becomes a conflict of interest for Nintendo, maybe they can make an agreemant with Nvidia. But I dont know if Nvidia is a company ot be trusted.  So what can Nintendo do to make sure that they have a powerful system?  Maybe consoles in the future will give developers such powerful hardware that it wont matter wich one is the most powerful!

Nintendo Gaming / ATI making chip for Xbox2! What about Nintendo?

« on: August 14, 2003, 04:07:36 PM »

  Hey dudes,  ATI announced today that it was going to have a techonological agreemant with Microsoft next Xbox system.  They arent really specific, but its not hard to assume that they might make a graphics chip.  will ATI make a chip for Nintendo and Microsoft?  Will Nintendo work with Nvidia?  Im still thinking about it.

LinkNews from Gamespot, Read on it dude

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Sega's lineup for TGS this fall (aint sure if list is real)

« on: August 10, 2003, 09:09:37 PM »

The only Xbox exlusive is Sega GT Online, and its the same game but with online capabilities. They are just bringing that thing out to try to even out on that project. Sega should stick to GCN and PS2

Nintendo Gaming / RE: C'mon, Blockbuster and Sears...are GC sales really that low?

« on: August 08, 2003, 06:45:24 AM »

 Most gamers have more than one system now.  Microsoft pays 3rd party developers to make games look better, or to have extras of some sort.  The majority of casual gamers just wanting to rent a game own a PS2.  I can see why GCN games rent in low numbers compared to PS2 and XBox( I dont think Xbox is doing that much better).  But theres a lot of people outhere that are comfortabole with their GCN, and would want to rent 3rd party games for it, but  chains that are ignorant in the Videogame scene neglect that.  first party GCN games always rent well, its the 3rd party games that need to be looked at.

Will the Rewards program be similar to the one in Europe? And if yes or no how does the European program work?  So far i dont really know if this is a good or a bad idea. I but a lot of GCN GAMES though!

Nintendo Gaming / More RPG love from Namco! Garmon Battle!

« on: July 20, 2003, 04:54:44 PM »

  Namco is already bringing 2 RPG's to the gamecube, Baten Kaitos, and Tales of Symphonia.  If those RPG's do well then theres a good chance Garmen Battle will come out on Gamecube, if its made.  But all of these games haven't come out yet, and theres a chance that maybe these games might suck. I doubt that will happen, but if they are good games then there shouldnt be a reason for any of us not to buy them. So far i feel optimistic about Namco with their GCN RPG's
