recent consoles

Postby Alistair » Sat Nov 11, 06 2:46 pm

Its just my opinion but I have no interest in the latest consoles, they bore me to death. All this xbox and psp/ps3 hype is just stupid as they suck and arent cost efficent. Im happy with an N64 (/w zelda oot/mm, super mario 64, mario kart, DK, Blast Corps, Bomberman 64) and a NES/SNES.

GTA is an exception I guess but originality is the key. Video game companies are just exploiting idiots and its pissing off people like me :P

Your opinions??

ps, notice I didnt mention about the Gamecube and Nin Rev, im biased :mrgreen: <3 Nintendo

Hmm, I don't know, I mean, the newest splinter cell:double agent game on the 360 looks amzing, the graphics, and consoles which lie lower couldn't produce such a realistic atmosphere. It's all down ot what your into I guess.

But the 360 is an energy whore. The N64 is very quiet unlike 360.

Well atm you can get an XBox360 Premium for £299.99 including PGR, PE7 and two wireless controllers and XBL and a headset.. Plus the release price for games has dropped to £44.99 and you can trade in old 360 games to get £30 off a new one.

Not bothered about the PS3 though, it's gonna be over £400 for the top end one plus its HDWS compatible only so you need to fork out a hell of a lot for that anyways.

The Wii looks like a lotta fun. Its only £180 as well which is quite cheap for the release of a new console.

For the number of games that are out, yes. However, 75% of them are shit tbh, and the PS2's graphics fade in comparison to the Xbox and even the Gamecube. I'm not sayin the PS2 is terrible overall, but there are better around now.

Gears of War will still be better probably even when Halo3 comes out, I hardly have any hopes for that game after that horseshit of a game called Halo2 they brought out.

Sony killed the PS3 themselves, making out it was bigger than what it is. "The next generation doesn't start until we say!" Get off your heroin addiction you asian fag.

Maybe not as awesome as it sounds.

Assault rifles with chainsaws attached to the bottom instead of say... a bayonet.
