agreed boy Kaizen.

Ppl doh realize games getting pretty f*cking stagnant now? You get about 3 FIRST CLASS games for the year. Once again PLENTY HYPE and NO DELIVERY.....seems to be a fad with the US. Happened with the Atari 2600 and its happening AGAIN with MS and SONY America once again teefing ppl head with old talk.

Nintendo doesnt NEED to be a contender. Their target niche is brilliant. They arent out to compete in an already saturated market of gamers. They out to get the UNTAPPED gaming population, the NEW gamers. An easy controler, an easy setup. And watch again, how much buttons on the new Rev controler? 7. 4 of which are for gaming, maybee 6 if you add the others like select and such which are in an easy to reach place. In other words.....hommuch games out there REALLY use all those buttons? And if they do, how much do YOU use in the game?Plus you have a thumbstick AND a gyro controler.

No doubt plenty companies gonna have to make exclusive titles for the GCN. But then, we dont buy a Nintendo for anything other than NINTENDO titles. GTA my @ss......first 2 were good......Rockstar need to find something else......WARRIORS was a good game tho. Same thing, but still good. Hey we eh gone GTA 70's style yet.....what you think Rockstar? Geez

lol @ GTA with horses and bow and arrows.

I heard of a wild wild west type GTA game in development actually.

but again guys, go easy on the industry.

innovative games don't sell well and great games cost way too much to develop to throw caution to the wind and do something risky (read different).

While Nintendo is the most innovative of the lot, even they still stick pretty closely to a tried and true formula for most of their big ticket titles. Racing (all the mariokarts) Team Battle (all the Smash Brothers) Sport (Mario Tennis) Puzzle (Mario Tetris, Dr. Mario) Platform (Traditional Super Mario Bros all the way up to their 3d variants like Mario Sunshine)

They have improved on the formula along the way and splashed on a new coat of paint. That's all and I love 'em.

Truly innovative? Not quite so sure about that. Let's look at the GameCube.

Most radical title will be something like Donkey Konga. How many of you all play that? Better question, how many of you own the custom controller for it?

Doesn't expect many raised hands.

Imagine if Fifa tried coming up with a new "innovative" sport and hoping to achieve the success of football / soccer.

Not gonna happen.

Same in the real world and the digital realm. Traditional sports and electronic sports.

How many new sports have been added to the school curriculum over the past decade?

I'd venture to say none. And it doesn't even cost 5 million US$ dollars and a staff of 20 programmers/graphic artists to come up with one. lol

Personally, all I hope for is improvements and hybrids of the already excellent genres we have today.

Loved the RTS/FPS/RPG hybrid of Savage.

Team FPS + Vehicular action and command view of Battlefield 2

Defense of the Ancients. What an awesome mod that turned out to be.

and the list goes on.

Looking for radical games? They are out there, just not hyped and popular. Tons of indie innovation available on the web. 5 - 20mb 2 man development team type games with more strangeness than a Dr. Who episode.

They won't be for sale at WalMart though, nor Electronic Boutique.

Don't expect Doom 3 level graphics either.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #68 on:** November 11, 2005, 12:59:32 AM »

Well, Most companies see 'different' and 'innovative' as cusswords (mih mudda whaaaaat!!!?.................).
So they mostly just update their existing franchises for the current tech cycle. SEGA tried to be different AND innovative with the Dreamcast (still have mine). Now there was a system truly ahead of its time, with some truy unique games that weren't seen on any other platform. However most of them were seen as TOO different by gamers already jaded by past SEGA f*ckups. As a result, they're no longer in the console business.
Just the way of the 'business' i guess.

While nintendo has the most innovative games I would still venture to say that the PS3 has the edge in that it will support keyboard and mouse input for gameplay. That should pull a lot of PC only gamers to the way of Sony. The Xbox 360 also supports keyboard input but only for text input and not for actual gameplay so once they don't inpliment that "first machine useage" crap Sony should come out infront. Ontop of that they do have a lot of good titles that people already know and love just like Nintendo allbeit for a different market segment. Xbox will probably be the big looser with most people prefering to upgrade their PC's rather than to buy a console to play the same games that are even better on PC anyway.

W1nTry · « **Reply #72 on:** November 12, 2005, 01:35:41 AM »

yuh talking mess aids. THe Xbox is going to do fine. No one knows exactly how expensive or how restricted the PS3 will be. IF DRM comes to pass the PS3 will be REAL BALLS no matter how good games look. Also its be publicly stated that the PS3's backwards compatibility is in question. Can u imagine if the PS3 is NOT backwards compatible? the Xbox and Rev will pwnz it.

I never see such a pointless and opinionated piece of sh!t statement like this since Trinitunerofthegamez start to say a keyboard better to play fighter games on. These kinda random half-a$$ed statements does make me come down HARD on men like this. I not one to Flame....but i wake up and man bad talking mih fav company with nonsense......so:

http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=&products_id=5438&

1. The XBOX has had kb and mouse support ALREADY. You can get it at lik-sang. Ask Baego i believe GATT has that already. the 360 supports input for kb and mouse for gaming, AND for ipod AND for the PSP (YES the PSP) and for the PC. They are making the system compatible with even rival consoles.

2. that "first machine use crap" you talking about is WHAT SONY used to control the console market, so basically you just sh!t up SONY. TO add to that the PS3 is supposedly more powerful than the 360, but then the PS2 was less powerfull than XBOX and that didnt stop making sales. and you should realise by NOW that GRAPHICS dont SELL a console. And DS proving that RIGHT NOW.

3.FYI mr AIDS.......ROCKSTAR, EA, ID Software, Square Enix, Activision have ALL signed EXCLUSIVE games to XBOX 360. So has the creator of Final Fantasy and the creator of Street Fighter. So SONY little trump card of Square Enix and GTA exclusivity just gorn up in smoke. SONY, if you havent noticed, is DEPENDING on their SONY titles to pull them through.......well you think MICROSOFT doh deliver on schedule......watch how long frigin GT4 take to come out. GoW take more than 5 years to release. How much others do they have? hmmm.....not many.

4.Although you are clearly a SONY fan and as you notice i am an MS fan, ill clear the air now with the "MS is loosing millions" talk. FIRST off, they are NOT loosing millions anymore, they broke even on sales of the XBOX last christmas. They are now making profits on the console. Wait, how long you think the SAME hardware from 3 years back gonna be costing the SAME to make? ANd we all know about SONY just gettin they @ss sued to hell with the PS2 DUALSHOCK 2 logo.

5. The third party companies that MATTER today in the industry are all gunning for MS. Microsoft and their marketing scheme is VERY versatile and they are basicaly giving their 3rd party companies ALL their rights to do wtf they want.

6. Have you been on XBOX LIVE?. XBOX LIVE is Microsofts TRUMP card and NO DOUBT they are improving on it for 360. SONY has a very poor online interface and Nintendo has none. Since ALL consoles are going online this rounds MS has the upperhand with experience. ONline gameplay is what MADE the XBOX and online gameplay is going to be a CRUCIAL turning point in the console war with SONY and MS.

7. Last but not least. MS HAS MORE MONEY!!!!!! AND MONEY TALKS!

justinkoo · « **Reply #74 on:** November 12, 2005, 11:00:40 AM »

inspired speech but one thing breaking even at christmas dosen't stop something from losing money. Money lost is calculated per annum by these companies as well as per quarter so they could break even or profit on a quarter but on the whole they could lose money on the entire year

well this is real balls!

"A PATENT may allow Sony to ensure that no game would be playable from any console other than the one in which it was first read.

Joystiq is reporting that this patent is the source of the many rumours that will mean as much to gamers as DRM is for music fans.

The technology would allow an authentication code to be read and then rendered unreadable, making the software unplayable on any machine but the one which first read it.

But this has caused considerable backlash from the gaming community. While many are aware of the double profit companies make on pre-owned games, this would ensure the death of trading games between friends and even going to a friend's house to play a little multiplayer.

No less than Ken Kataguri himself is listed among the inventors, which makes it look like this is a move that came from very high up. It has already been pointed out that many Playstation users have had to replace their console, surely this would leave us high and dry in that event.

While the PS3 hasn't been expressly mentioned in the patent in English or Japanese it would be the obvious place to employ this new technology, regardless of how little gamers will appreciate it. Between this and the DRM scandal, Sony could be looking at a serious drop in interest in the PS3. You can be sure you'll see more on this as it develops. As gamers, we can only hope that modern technology won't undermine the tried and tested barter system"

so much for the good old days

Just FYI for those that didnt knwo

1. Its illegal in Japan to rent games. You have to buy them

2. Its becomming a problem in Japan to buy used games. They are trying to pass a law that prohibits buying used games.......

Hence SONY suposedly doing this..

well I really like the ps3 for the grand tourismo and the kill zone games...impressive visuals but I must say that I would go for the 360 for two major reasons.... NINJA GAIDEN 2 and the sequel to halo 2 (awesome storyline and they don't even have to change the visuals from halo 2 and it will sell well....it's that damn good)
