Wizard Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Rushed? Rushed? The when was the PS2 unviled huh? The time Dreamcast was about to come out. That's when. The dreamcast was never rushed. It was perfectly fine, until Sony started hyping the PS2. 9/9/99 THAT DAY SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
Leathel Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 i still think the backwards compatability stuff is dumb.. what are u gona do throw out ur ps2 when u get a ps3? When i get a xbox 2 i want it for xbox 2 games not orginal xbox games. If i did wana play xbox games id pull them out... since id probably rarely wana play them anyways. I dont get why ps2 people go on so much about that. How often do u play ps1 games compared to ps2 games? Plus u think about it couldnt the ps2 have been cheaper if they just left the ps1 crap out? why pay more when u already got a ps1!!?!?! maybe thats just me though.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why have a bunch of systems plugged to your TV instead of just one or two? and I do play PS1 games plenty, on somedays even more than PS2 titles. even though I wouldn't throw away my ps1-PSone - PS2, I would still like to give their lifespan a bigger run, instead of running them down to the bitter end, I use them once a while to see if they still work. obvious no? chummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp!!
Wizard Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 You are talking about Sony, a company that knows no ends to fit their firm share within the treshhold of anything. Consoles, hand helds, they take my PC, thats too damn far, WE MUST RISE AGAINST THE MACHINE AND DESSSTORY THEM. OR AT LEAST THEIR GAME DIVSION!
Gryph Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Hey man, that's business. It makes their shareholders happy and makes them a crap load of money. At the end of the day that's all that really matters.
Lucandrake Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 The other day , I was thinking something about ea, maybe it's not just a bad thing that there buying all this company's, at least if the workers and desighners for the games remain, that way the competention will stop and all this great games will start coming out!

Dude, in case you don't know, competition fosters creativity and better products.
Thraxen Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) Man, you DC fans never give it a rest. Sorry, but I owned a DC and thought it was over hyped by the hardcore fans. Sega has a knack for making highly rated games that, in reality, most people don't want to play. Soon as it died all the die hards came out of the woodwork and have practically raised it to sainthood. Spare me. Sega killed themselves. Period. It all started back with failures like the SegaCD and 32X. Then came the Saturn (another since over idealized system) with very poor advertising and a ludicrous $400 USD price tag. Yeah, I owned it too. Then along comes the PSX. It revived gaming. You anti-Sony types may claim it's a bad thing that gaming became more mainstream, but it is what funds the increasingly expensive to make games these days. Deal with it. The PSX was a great system and it earned its millions of fans. Meanwhile Sega had shot itself in the foot too many times by the time the DC launched and most people didn't give a damn. Sure, it had a great launch day... all the die-hard Sega fans showed up early, but after that it was downhill because the most gamers were willing to wait for Sony's next system. Again, Sony had earned those fans with a great performance with the PSX. So go ahead and cry all you want about how the Sony hype machine killed the DC, but keep in mind that Sega themselves are as much to blame for what happened and Sony had earned the hype.

Wizard Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Ever since videogames have gotten mainstream, things have started to decline. WAHCHUDU TO MY TECHTV
Agozer Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) Ever since videogames have gotten mainstream, things have started to decline. WAHCHUDU TO MY TECHTV Eh, it's the way things go. At least in the gameshows here, the hosts really know their stuff and are not biased. Edited January 24, 2005 by Agozer
Gryph Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Yeah, I don't know why G4 decided to drop the TechTV name and shows and play more crappy gaming shows for the "cool" gamers. I crap all over G4.

I saw this group of ps2 fans once at game store , theses guys had to be in there 20s. One of them said he was thinking of getting an xbox for xbox live. The rest were like hell no xbox is cheap i hear they break then less then a week and then they went on about how GREAT PS2 is. I almost wanted to ask what the flock they been smokin since thats the ps2s problem... ...what? Dude, in case you don't know, competition fosters creativity and better products. very true... competition is good for the gamer... keeps things new and creative coming out to spite the enemy. meaning more for us... what EA is doing is every gamers worst nightmere... we will probably be seeing the same old crap from them for the next 15 years.
Wizard Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Sony sucks. They suck at everything that isn't a TV.
Gryph Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) Here's some more stuff (thanks to Magnis for telling me about it):When Sony reveals the technical details of the highly-anticipated advanced microprocessor code-named Cell, they will announce that the new processor will run at 4.6 gigahertz. IBM, Sony and Toshiba will present four technical papers next month at the International Solid State Circuits Conference to be held in San Francisco. The Cell is a multicore chip comprising a 64-bit Power processor core and multiple synergistic processor cores capable of massive floating point processing. Cell is optimized for compute-intensive workloads and broadband rich media applications, including computer entertainment, movies and other forms of digital content. Sony plans to use the Cell to power its next generation PlayStation as well as home servers for broadband content and high-definition televisions. Other highlights of the Cell processor design include: * Multi-thread, multicore architecture. * Supports multiple operating systems at the same time. * Substantial bus bandwidth to/from main memory, as well as companion chips. * Flexible on-chip I/O (input/output) interface. * Real-time resource management system for real-time applications. * On-chip hardware in support of security system for intellectual property protection. * Implemented in 90 nanometer (nm) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/7511/Cell-Pr...-Run-at-46-Ghz/ Edited January 25, 2005 by GryphonKlaw
