Rick: My post was badly worded. I meant to say PC games only had 1 DVD game.

Nintendo Gaming / Is this a glimpse of the future? Blu-Ray Disc ...
« on: March 05, 2003, 04:10:03 PM »
Not cutting edge, but cetainly ahead in storage. I had a SegaCD before a CD player. Also, how many games use DVDs? I have seen ONE. This is a full 2 years after PS2 launched with DVDs, so there is a point where these two are different.

You are going to throw pennies and dimes at him? why not get like 7 sacks of them and throw them at him. That way he doesn't cast a yellow spell on you.

General Gaming / XENOSAGA: World's Largest Game = 8.5 gigabytes
« on: March 05, 2003, 11:58:42 AM »
Xenosaga has next to no replay value, but you spend so much time playing the game it doesn't matter. Easily a 70 hour game for me.

Nintendo Gaming / what partner should Nintendo get for builting the gc2 Processor?
« on: March 05, 2003, 10:42:59 AM »
God that Cray/NEC rumor got out of hand, now Fujitsu? Basically 3 companies who have built supercomputers based on other companies CPU's. I definately don't see a chip from AMD or Intel inside the gamecube. AMD chips are fun when I have a monster heatsink, but not so much when I am running off a heatsink. Motorolla wouldn't surprise me, nor would a smaller company. IBM is pretty much locked down with the PowerPCs as 8 will be on each Cell chip. (controlling 8 auxillary cpus each) VIA hasn't really made a CPU for a while so I wouldn't look that direction. Other things that would interest me is Bus maker, ram type, and drive mechanics.

Oh come on give the antiM$ attitude a rest. If you don't want two consoles fine, but leave the anti microsoft rants in the closet. 100 dollars cheaper though? Didn't hear that rumor yet.

General Gaming / S-Video vs. RCA??
« on: March 04, 2003, 11:32:03 AM »
In terms of looks S-Video looks more like a older mouse port (PS/2) than the standard RCA jacks.

Nintendo Gaming / Interesting EE Times interview with Dave Orton...
« on: March 04, 2003, 11:25:24 AM »
VIA still has lingering power from the KT400, but in terms of popularity the nforce2 has much more support now from the people that count (board manufacturers)
As for the intel market, the leader is still Intel by a longshot.

The end statement about who is better off in the PC chipset market is a bit off. I have seen the ATI refrence board where it is basically a VIA board with a ATI southbridge. Nvidia has already knocked off VIA in the AMD market, so IMO they have a much firmer grasp on the chipset market...

There are VERY easy ways to fill an entire DVD. Use as little compression as possible. Had ED not been so heavily compressed it would have amassed easy 1 DVD to around 4 1/4 GBs. That leaves out goodies like DVD-A and much less compressed video. There are a lot of tools that cannot be fully used because of size issues.

While looking across the blu-ray website I saw that the DVD forum is also considering AOD as the replacement of DVD, so it is not the only option...

Keep dreaming... Even DVD-A still has compression, and I don't see it being feasible for 1/5 of the game to be dedicated sound. There will still be compression, just a lot less.
