Official Xbox 360 Thread

[Redneck 2000]

I think the Xbox 360 is going to revolutionize gaming. It has the ability to hook up into your computer! Also, it has nice graphics and halo. Not to mention, RPG Maker could really sell well on a platform like this. It would be rockin!

What do you guys think about the Xbox 360?

Re: Is the next-gen going to screw over gaming?

RPG Maker would be better on a system like that, if you could connect it to the internet and share files easily.

And yer whole argument is just a slippery-slope style fallacy like a lot of the pointless stuff people keep complaining about. I don't get why so many "gamers" have to catastrophize the direction of the video game industry. Sure, there's a lot of garbage, but there's a lot of interesting new things as well. It's technology. Change is not always bad. Calm down.

Re: Is the next-gen going to screw over gaming?

What makes you so certain the XBox 360 will be the king of the next-gen consoles? Or that even if it is #1 the PS3 will stop being the platform for games like RPGM and more niche Japanese games? The companies that have ported those games before are still there and if they've turned to the PS2 before they'll likely look to the PS3 for the same reason. I think the games libraries will likely continue to split the way they have this generation, the XBox will dominate FPS and action games, the PS3 will be the home for RPGs, adventure and offbeat games and likely the major fighting games, the Nintendo console will be mostly Big N's first-party games.

I just don't get it! This has nothing to do with the PSP!

They turned to the PS2 before because it was the console that they'd get the best profit out of, because it was and still is the leading console.

PS: I don't like the Xbox 360's name. Whatever happened to Xbox Next?

Re: Official Xbox 360 Thread

Why'd did you go and change the first post and title to directly contradict what you originally wrote? Now the responses don't make sense.

Re: Official Xbox 360 Thread

Everything I read about the next generation hints at the XBox2 being vastly inferior to the PS3.

Not a good sign for Microsoft.

Re: Official Xbox 360 Thread

I'm just glad to hear that PS3 will finally be better, hardware wise, considering they have the best third party support.

Re: Official Xbox 360 Thread

we still dont know what nintendo is gonna have. they're planning something big, really, REALLY big. they havent mentioned a single thing about their new system, only saying that it'll be so different from what we're used to that some developers will be alienated by it.

also, with the next X box... it will likely be the weakest of the new systems, but that doesnt mean it's doomed. the PS2 is just BARELY more powerful than the dreamcast (it's only advantage lies in it's polygon processing power), but it pretty much destroyed the competition.

Re: Official Xbox 360 Thread

I really do hope Nintendo kicks some major ass, because I love them. Love them so much it hurts.

Edit: They just need to quit being pussies about violence, and adult situations.
