Nintendo's Wii is the most exciting next-gen console......
No doubt about it....... furthermore it's cheap....USD199 for a next-gen console....why not?? the graphic might not be as cool as PS3 or XBOX360, but Wii's gameplay is really attractive and fun..... can't wait to get my hand on it...... |

Previously, i won't even consider the Wii, but given how things turns out currently, i'm now more interested in Wii news than the other two. |

Does anyone here knows what is the expected minimum PC requirement for Crysis?? Its rumoured that it wont be ported to any other platform.. not even the 360.. I guess its time to upgrade the ol gaming rig again...
BTW it is the OS weaknesses that make it possible for the hackers to exploit and do damages with it... hackers wont bother to create all of those nasties if u really got a good system... Msoft is milking windows.. so.. more time is spend on making new ones... not making the existing one fullproff... more money to be made with new OS than giving out free updates... OS X only got a virus after 2 years of its lifespan... why?? because the system is harder to penetrate... compare that to Windoze... I wont complain on linux because it is free... but u cant deny the fact that it is getting better n better everyday.. there are even linux gamers community nowadays... I wonder what would happen if people start to use PS3 with linux... cant wait to see it happen... |

Time exclusive sound more like it, exclusive...EA? Nope...doesn't sound right.
QUOTE OS X only got a virus after 2 years of its lifespan... why?? because the system is harder to penetrate ...because nobody bother to create virus for mac?  Imagine say...70% of the market with pc, 30% with mac. You are a hacker/programmer...which platform will you choose to develope your virus for maximum damage?Milk or no milk, mac haven't even come out with a practical, proper spreadsheet software while microsoft has microsoft office and you can't deny how important it is.  No offense to mac user, it's just for humour. Mac does has its up & down, so is a pc QUOTE I wonder what would happen if people start to use PS3 with linux... cant wait to see it happen... Last i remember is seeing every console gamer in the forum whining about pc being too complicated, and they don't like to upgrade/tweak hardware. Now all of a sudden 360 style....(i mean...360 degree) wana transform a console into a pc? I don't get it. |

Yeah I agree. One moment they say "console gaming rox cause I don't need patches etc" and the moment console makers turn it around on their head suddenly it's the best thing since sliced bread?
And the comic strip is RIGHT. If Macs had more penetration, the case would be absotively the same as Windows right now. Macs aren't "special", none of the OSes are. Geez, it's hard to get some points thru to some people. |

Dude.. seriously nobody's saying that Mac is special.. im just making a point there.. Mac doesnt have too many viruses because of it is not easy to hack.. unlike windows... and if hackers just concentrate on maximum damages.. then why does the palm OS also get hacked not to mention most new hphone.. most of these hackers are out there testing their skill dude... not just doing damages.. BTW i just read on gamespot that the Wii games preorder price is at USD 59.99 at EBGames... u guys think it will stick to that price or EBGames is just guessing it... If its true that Wii games price are the same as PS3 BD, the Wii will lose a lot of its advantage... that'll be suck for us too... This post has been edited by even_steven: May 25 2006, 03:20 AM |

PS3 LIE WATCH - EVIDENCE UPDATED REGARDING 'TEKKEN 6'
QUOTE Life is worth living again! We're happy! It's like being back on the Prozac/Zoloft combination therapy! Every day brings a new Sony DISASTER, as PlayStation3 morphs into more of a joke by the second. 425 pounds! A remake of an old PS2 racer as its 'main game'! A rubbish controller copied off Nintendo! Blu-Ray no one wants! Executives who brand it "a bargain" and think it's above criticism and that we should be grateful it's launching a new PlayStation at all! Every day we wake up invigorated, desperate to see the latest in PS3 comedy disintegration. We'll be triumphantly hoisting PlayStation's bleeding corpse into the air yet. And then there are the games.  This, 12 months ago, was what Tekken 6 was going to look like.  This is what Tekken 6 looks like today. Next year, when it comes out, it'll look like a third-party Dreamcast game like all the rest of the piss-poor PS3 stuff shown at E3. Seeing this breathes life into our souls! Yeah, Sony, carry on begging those third-parties to pretend their multi-format games are exclusive to PS3 so your game line-up doesn't look like such a disaster. It won't make a difference.  Still, women get punched in the stomach in it, so it's not that bad. PS3 Lie Watch |

QUOTE(redbull_y2k @ May 26 2006, 02:04 PM) but i do agree that Tekken 6 looks butt ugly... the main concern is how come 12 month ago they manage to make such realistic face of Jin but this time it looks like this? are the technology they using going backward? Now where's Killzone? the controversial killzone2, yeah. they manage to make such really realistic pre-render video in last year e3. surely by one year after that they atleast can come out with video of in-game engine, or a in-game image. but no, nothing at all, nada. there's not even one mention of killzone2 in e3 this year. one gaming website speculate because of the last year video putting such high standard for ps3, the developer work so far now didn't even come close to it, so they don't want to show anything to avoid embarrassing themself. |

Which doesn't really make sense. I mean, Resistance looks cool and all, but downplaying Killzone for Resistance (that honestly looks a little like Lost Planet, or any other 3rd person shooter)?That doesn't compute. They could have just shown fans some more videos (prerendered or not, who cares?) to hype the excitement, but why the sudden quietness from Sony? |
