Nintendo Revolution

Nintendo makes a better party console in my opinion. Halo is something of a party game, though multiplayer is done primarily by XBL, as I understand it. Nintendo has, of course, Mario Party, SSBM, and other good games to just sit down for with your friends. And it's easier. I mean, you can take the entire system in a carry-on bag for a plane trip, no problem. I'd like to see you try that with an X-Box...

I can fit my xbox, four controllers, lan cables, a hub, and a couple games in this leather suitcase which as far as I know is carry-on since I've taken my laptop in it several times. So yeah, I've tried it...where's my cash prize?

about multiplayer i believe Nintendo, till know, got the idea of party gaming in the healthier and most partying version. The get together and play, and not the play with unknowns from the other side of the planet. I am not downsiding the internet and the mutliplayer but let's face it.

It's far better to be in the same room with 4-8 others than "even talk throught microphone" with others that are millions of miles away.
Look at the multiplayer of GBA...
Mario Party, Four Swords etc. Games that produce quite fun moments with people you are close.

I prefer that...

I had my revenge though, tossing large trees at him for the rest of the level.

[quote="Mista";p="502091"]$4 a month isn't a big deal. Even I can afford that.

Also, I don't think the Revolution will be a lesser console. I heard it would be a system similer to the 360 and it'll be slightly more powerful or at least at the same level.

Much like last generation. The Gamecube was 8-10% stronger than the Xbox I hear, which, if it's true, is a good example of why the PS3 games won't look as good as Sony originally boasted.[/quote]

Actually, the Xbox is a bit more powerful than the Gamecube. The PS2 lags behind them both; Sony has a habit of "overestimating" their systems' capabilities when they are unveiled.

There's some games that look better on Gamecube than on Xbox...

The Xbox's library is full of PS2 ports, which don't look very good at all. However, I'd suggest you try playing Chronicles of Riddick, Splinter Cell 3, or Ninja Gaiden. Though some gamecube games have excellent visuals (Resident Evil 4, for one), the Xbox is capable of better.

Capable, yes, but hardly anyone comes through with producing graphically awesome games for it.

and do you think they've done it again?

Yes. Yes, I for one think they would. Why not? Hundreds upon thousands of gullible saps have fallen for it before.

They already have overestimated their system. Sony's already got tons of people thinking the Killzone 2 trailer is gameplay.

And now nVidia says the PS3's GPU isn't even finished yet; what we saw at E3 was running on two top-of-the-line GeForce cards in SLI. I can't link to the article because all of the major game sites are blocked at school, but it's on the front page of 1up if you want to look.

Now, when you have to lie to get a fan-base, what does that say about the company?

That they have to be pretty damn good at what they do, if it works.

And even once they finish designing their next console, the DVD drives will break easily and the first batch will probably overheat.
