General Gaming / does your ps2 do this?
« on: April 28, 2003, 04:33:41 PM »
Had mine over a year now without a single problem other than it couldn't play my DVD of JPIII but that was due to scratches on the DVD it's self.

General Gaming / I miss Rare.
« on: April 27, 2003, 02:36:17 PM »
Actually Rare released 12 games over a 6 year period of time (N64 life span) so that's 2 games per year.
Though people tend to forget it's GBA ones :0.

Nintendo Gaming / Review of the Nextvision N4 (gamecube on monitor)
« on: April 27, 2003, 05:38:47 AM »
Actually only the Nextvision N6 supports incoming progressive scan modes.
And it's component video, composite is the same thing as AV. The nextvision N6 sells for quite a bit more then the nextvision N4 though.
What the Nextvision n4 does from what I've read about them is take 480i mode (S-video) and upscales them to higher solutions and progressive (since most monitors can't handle 15 hzs).
The quality is so-so since the nextvision N4 really doesn't have the features found on newer TV sets like comb filter and what not. I recall the N6 does have 3D Digital Comb Filter though.
But for the price, the Nextvision N4 isn't to bad ($80), I'm looking at the N5 ($115) myself because the N6 is just a bit to expensive for me ($300+).

General Gaming / Final Fantasy X-2.
« on: April 26, 2003, 03:59:30 AM »
"I wonder if Zelda will do this well. "
Wonder if you meant FFCC since Zelda WW has been out since X-mas in Japan.
About FF X-2. I'm a bit disappointed with the ideal of a sequel especially after seeing the first Yuna pics. Twin calibur guns for a priestess--doesn't add up. Laura Croft anyone?
Hopefully, the plot remains intact.
This is first FF that I won't be pre-ordering, instead I'm going wait for the reviews from my Fellow diehard FF players.

General Gaming / Sony's last Quarter.
« on: April 26, 2003, 03:50:37 AM »
They do have other venues though which are hurting them.
Those Wega TV's really haven't picked up in sales like Sony was predicting (Too pricy, there's pleny of TV's with the same quality but $500+ cheaper IMO).

That's only stateside.
And Enix did make it clear it's targetting the massive userbase, hense GBA+PS2 support.
I think with the merger relations might improve a bit but I doubt you'll see an exclusive support unless FFCC sales are BOOMING (meaning outselling PS2 software sales). I think Square Enix will sit back for sale figures before jumping in like Capcom did with it's RE series.

General Gaming / XENOSAGA: World's Largest Game = 8.5 gigabytes
« on: March 10, 2003, 03:17:26 PM »
FMV's developement costs $$$, hense why FF production costs, also MPEG's take a good chunk of storage is why developers tend to favor in-game cuts.
:0
And Xenosaga is just a SLOW starter, meaning it tends to get spaced out quite a bit in the middle.
Suikoden III is the same way but I'm loving every minute of it.

General Gaming / Which System of yours is collecting the most dust, and why?
« on: March 10, 2003, 03:08:08 PM »
My Gamecube is collecting quite a bit of dust this year. Only started it for the bonus LOZ OOT disc to see the extras and whatnot. March 25th might change that .
The Xbox gets used for a little MA every now and then along with PD0. Just got Apex but really haven't touched much of that.
The PS2 is going though "burn out" stage. I'm just finishing Suikoden III (had it for awhile), and GTA VC (beat the game but there's quite a few side missions left), plus I have Xenosaga to look forward too.
My poor PC is only being used as a type writer lately. Though I would use it more once I update it :0.

Does anyone know a good chart to compare PC software sales? Would be interesting to see how PC games fared this year as well.
"... Wha? Super Soaker 2000?

You could always try to drown yourself :0.

Nintendo Gaming / It's offical, the AIAS awards are completely full of crap
« on: March 03, 2003, 07:39:20 AM »
Gee Pal your sounding like an ARSE.
He's simply stating his opinions about what he felt and you're trying to make him sound biased? Coming for a guy who stated how average SC was? You don't see him jumping down your throat for difference of opinions.
He simply stated that both are great games and why the voters could have chosen either one.
And he did all that without calling you a name.

« on: March 03, 2003, 07:28:22 AM »Think this about raps it up as well, except for that whole AC as a RPG but I don't think we are going need a whole another page for that.
What would you classify AC as? I always thought of it as more of a simulation (life) but it really doesn't belong there either.
They should make a genre a lable it as other

« on: March 03, 2003, 02:39:30 AM »
What's kinda funny is how someone mentioned the Japanese vrs Amercian ratio.
Have you seen the scores for MP in Japan, it recieved 33/40, 8/10, ect. Japanese gamers don't give a SH!T about freaking Metroid Prime, never did. That's why nintendo stopped developing the game years ago.
Vrs SC which is close to the genre as MGS which gets plantium scores in japan (37+).
If you asked Japanese gamers, they would have chosen RE over MP. Freaking RE O recieved a 39/40 as well as the Remake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far there's been a few GOTY's awards, GDC (game developer choice) is next week, and there really isn't a clear winner. Vice City has taken two-- one was from Game Informer I believe.
No two opinions are alike :0.

Clearly up the BS.
The board of directors run the show, and nintendo's man the the freaking chairman for crying out loud (IE president).
And no they are not the judges, developers can summit this opinions (follow the rules on AIAS Website for information.

Voting Procedures
Which means there's 100's if not 1000's that can cast votes, it's a developers award show after all :0.
Comparing one review site like GS really doesn't mean much in the majority don't feel the same way, take it's review of SMS for example, it recieved a mere 8 which is quite a bit lower than most.
