Rest of Xbox year shaping up to be Great !!

by Jedi
6/25/2002
Hello gamers...the Jedi is beaming into your galaxy again for some game talk. Sorry for not appearing sooner, but the Jedi has to admit that he has been pretty wrapped up in Morrowind. Now every Xbox gamer knows tons about this game so all the Jedi has to say is that Morrowind offers the most game play hours of any console game he has ever owned. A gamer can play Morrowind for months and still be finding new places and things. Now that's a lot of game for your money Folks! And the only console you will see it on is of course the Xbox, Baby!

The rest of the Xbox gaming year looks bright folks. Now with the price drop to $199 a lot of people are joining our Xbox gaming family. The local stores in the Jedi's galaxy continue to sell it at a good pace. So lets cover a few of the great games we can all look forward to the remainder of this year.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell was one of the biggest Xbox hits at E3. The people who saw this game in person say that is looks absolutely incredible. Think of it as a better-looking Metal Gear, in fact a lot better looking. This is a game that all Xbox gamers have to see and play to believe. Now its going to be Mult-platform but only Xbox gamers will be playing it at Christmas because we get it in November and GameCube/Playstation 2 folks get it March 2003. That’s the way Multi-platform games should be, build it for the most powerful console first, and then dumb it down for the others. I am tired of game companies taking a game from Ps2 and slapping it on Xbox without improving it.

Speaking of Metal Gear, it has finally been confirmed on Xbox and it’s not just a copy of an earlier version either. It’s called Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance and it contains a Dual-layer DVD entirely filled with game data and improved graphics. It is the Metal Gear that developers had envisioned in the first place but couldn't make due to the limitations of previous consoles. Well, no problem for the Xbox. This is a very friendly platform to program for and its got the muscle to make it happen. Now this game is guaranteed to end up on other consoles as well, but look for the Xbox version to shine above the rest. Same old story, Spiderman looked best on Xbox, so did Max Payne.

Last game i will mention this week is the updated version of a classic game that millions of us loved on the Sega Genesis. I am of course talking about Toe Jam and Earl. Now the original was one of the most fun two player co-op games that the Jedi has ever played. And you talk about updated. The Xbox takes this classic to the next level! Not only does it look bigger and better on the Xbox, but it will also feature online play! Read up on this upcoming blockbuster gamers, it will be a whole lot of fun.

That's all for now. May the Force be with you gamers...Always..

yeah, i know. I done my homework. i was careless reading.
Splinter Cell is on Xbox first then watered down
version to pos1.3.

its did said "Absolutely Exclusive". But its talking
about Splinter Cell is developing on Xbox hardware.
Xbox get full version of Splinter Cell; pos1.3 is not.

Magnumlight, oxm is still good magazine. I was just
look at "Absolutely Exlusive", I did not read the reasons.
That´s why. Next time, I shall now on read, read,
read the reasons;
Not just look at "Absolutely Exclusive".
Becuase Splinter Cell excited me I. That´s why.

At least, Splinter Cell is coming to Xbox
FIRST!

NO Splinter Cell will be on the XBOX and P.C. only! The game
was stated to be for the PS2 and Gcube but after its E3
showing M$ rapped it up as an xclusive. The egm,gamepro,GS
and other news is old A dev from Ubi-soft e mailed some guy
from TXB and he also stated that the Splinter cell online
news is false. Magnum go look it up.

its kind of hard to look up the facts that you gave twilla when every other site says somthing different, not to mention that news on splinter cell being pn ps2 has been dates as early as june 23, 2002...so i think there is a pretty good chance that it isnt exclusive yet.

who cares if it´s exclusive or not the fact that xbox get´s at least a 6 month jump is good enough for me this game is going to convert many sony fanboys over to the xbox especially when they compare graphics .

the ps2 version will have dumbed down graphics of coarse, but like with wreckless, the developers will add something extra or exclusive to the game to get people to buy it on ps2

anyways, has anyone played eternal darkness yet? omg! it is so fucking cool!

I agree with you for once, Jedi. The ever lucious Timesplitters 2 will be made in this way. Built from scratch(and first) with added extras for the superior console, then dumbing it down months later for xbox and PS2. But for splinter cell, big deal. The Cube can easily handle any xbox port with added effects. Besides who wants to play a third person shooter with the xbox controller(gunvalkarie, anyone?)

Games war?! You cant be serious, no self respecting xboxer would go there. OK asshole, what about Azurik, RAW, Nightcaster, Munch, or Morrowind? I wouldnt wipe my ass with their instruction manuals. Meanwhile, I´m enjoying the lucious fruits from Nintendo, i.e. Lost kingdoms, ETERNAL DARKNESS(yep, game of the year. Halo can´t come close to this MASTERPEICE) and Resident Evil. What have you gotten lately? Nothing? Oh well, you still have doa volleyball to look forward to! LOL!

Heh, enjoy your rotton fruit while it lasts Scumlord. This is nintendos LAST console. You know after zelda, metroid, and mario launch, nintendo is FINISHED. How ya gonna feel when you have to play your nintendo titles on XBOX2? You´ll proably be grinding your teeth to powder. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Go crawl back under the rock you slithered out from under. Jesterboy, play a really CHALLENGING GAME, MORROWIND! Not for 20 hours or 50 hours, but over 200hours of gameplay. You can play hippity hop at the barber shop, with squirt guns and magic mushrooms, cartoon kids with lipstick all you want you little fruitcake. Meanwhile, i´ll be playin a mans system. WORLDWIDE tournaments of Unreal,Ghost Recon,All Major Sports, and downloading new content, LAG FREE BROADBAND, XBOXLIVE!! So take your jester ass back to the forums before you get beat like a 4 year old at kmart.

As usual jokecity12 your stupity causes you to speak before you think. Xbox will bail out before Nintendo does. I see your reading comprehension is low as well or otherwise you would have understood clearly what Nintendo said in their article. Xbox2? It won´t even get off the ground. If you reseached and checked on sales(and yes they do matter) and checked out gamers.com, you´d see why there couldn´t possibly be an Xbox2. Microsoft will lose over 700 million alone on the xbox this year and over a billion in 2003. They need money so bad, they´re gonna put titles on the Gameboy Advance. Xbox Live? Oh, in the Fall. October? November? Who knows. Xbox Live is slated for 2006. Ps3? 2005. Even if it does somehow manage to make it out(remember dreamcast2) it will still be a year behind Sony. So do we say bussiness as usual?

Stickybj1, close your mouth your letting the flies in.
Fact not opinion- This is nintendo´s last console.
Fact not opinion- MS has over 40 billion in the bank making mad phat intrest, so a billion here or there is chump change to MS.
Fact not opinion- at least MS has a online plan, whats nintendo´s online plan? Nothin!! They got sh*t on a shingle and turds on tar paper.
Fact not opinion- Ms is not in debt, they are making money hand over fist. Your bias against MS will not change that.
XBOX live in 2006? HAHAHAHAHA!! You wish. It will be out this fall. Dream on foolish fanboy. And when it does i hope i see you with that screen name in Unreal, Ghost Recon or any other FPS, so i can shoot you in the head *sniper style*

show me where it says that THE GCN IS NINTENDO´S LAST SYSTEM
and yes microsoft has 40 bill and 1 bill might seem like nothing, but that forty billion is tied into other products, its not just sitting around doing nothing, so loosing a billion is acctualy a lot worse then it sounds. it is call economics. a billion in loses wont sink ms, but it can sink a hugh section of it

That was a typo. I meant to say xbox2 in 2006. Which would put them behind Sony by year, once again. And they are a bussiness, so they just won´t keep losing money, because they have it to lose. Just went browsing through my local Best Buy today and chatted with a media department rep. I asked a simple question: "so, which console are you selling more, Ps2 or Xbox?" Her reply: PS2. Out of curiousity I asked her, "how can you be so sure?" Her answer shocked me. "Because we´ve had the same shipment of xboxes from a month ago and we´ve already on our third shipment of Ps2´s." Now I distinctly remember people on this site saying, "just wait till the price drop... just wait till E3... xbox will take over... What does that tell you? More people are still buying PS2. But as I always say: >>>>>>>[ONLY COULD XBOX]<<<<<<<< suck so bad... what losers!

Ricky you shmuck, who the hell made you chief engineer at MS?
Care to display a link to back up your big mouth? Did´nt think so. You are speculating, and by your history of poor posting, you suck at that as well. Since when did best buy become the bell weather by which video game sales are measured? Not that i care but, cmon rick, one best buy store out of whole worldwide video game market? Surely you can quote a better source than that. You already sound stupid enough as it is. "Drunk and stupid is no way to live your life son." XBOXYOURMIND

Oh, and by the way magnum. MS generates 800million every month in fresh cash. Multiply times 12, and you got 9.6 billion in new revenue every year before taxes and such. So 40 billion in the bank and growing with interest, plus roughly lets say 6 billion every year after taxes. Hmmm, i think its fair to say MS losing a billin here or there is a mere pittance when compared to their over all cash flow and reserves. Like you said, "economics".

so? what wrong with DOA volleyball? its look fun game to me. How old are you?. Anyway... Morrowind? oh man, I don´t know how can I explained this. All I say Awesome game. You said "What about Morrowwind?" this doesn´t make sense to me.
You misunderstood this. Morrowind probably not your taste.
Maybe you shall like Enclave or Project Ego better. Both of them will release soon.

to ricky, I dont undertstand. What are you talking about your local "BEST BUY"? In California, President Toy ´R´ Us´
loves Xbox more than pos1.3. I read it in newspapers and watch the News everywhere. you heard it from one woman in your local.

You must feel like a real horses ass right now. Nowhere did the say Nintendo was quitting(you ass), in fact, they are in it more for the games(which means, dumb ass, that games will come ahead of new hardware on their "to do list"). Don´t feel bad though, your precious Mike Salmon is the same kind of retard as you to think so. Yeah, SNES was Nintendo´s las console, wasnt it? Sega said so! So was N64, as said by Sony. Face it fanboy, xbox was a 2 month fad where you could play halo then pawn the peice of shit. And I bet you would piss your panties at Eternal Darkness, that masterpeice is a mans game only, no xboxers here.

Darkload, just for you. Here is a painful reminder of what your precious president SATORU IWATA, said. "The company will focus on the developement of better games, rather than hardware." You can mince words all you want, but it sounds like a surrender to me. Then he has the audacity to end with this sure to be, dumbest statment of the year, "The effort to produce machines with better technology has reached its limit." HAHAHAHAHA!! What a feeble minded fool!! He must have never heard of moore´s law. No wonder their quittin the hardware business. With a dope like him runnin the company´s console bussiness into the ground, MS and Sony won´t have to ROFLMAO!!! XBOX4LIFE

Don´t even bother Darklord. You should know by the level of intelligence you´re dealing with on this site anyway. jokecity and brycex(twilla,jupiterx,menhunter,)they already know their system sucks and is failing. Not to mention in third place. (hmm, all that hardware, yet still can´t be a contender) Microsoft may have billions, but those billions are not all tied into xbox. Oh wait, maybe xbox2, in 2006. If they can´t win with the system they got right now, what makes the losers think they´ll do with xbox1.5. Pathetic. They can´t even outsell a unit without a dvd player for the same price. Face it guys it´s over. Well, back to the halo killer(starts playing MOH)

Nowhere did it say Nintendo was quitting the hardware business. All it indicated is that instead of trying to focus on starting a new console now (which it sounds like Sony and Microsoft are doing) they are trying to focus on games. There are only three companies I would buy a game for without a review. Nintendo, Sega, and Rare. Its all about the games.

Look at history, nes to snes was just a graphics upgrade. Snes and genasys to N64 or Playstation or Saturn moved into 3D. Xbox, PS2, and the Cube are now just graphics upgrades. Games are where the money is at, but by the time you get a significant user base to profit from its time for a new console. The next "barrier" for console systems is online (which might or might not fly - too soon to judge) and right now all three systems are capable of that.

people, just save your remarks for rare. rare will release a press release soon stating if they are going third party or not, but from what it sounds like, rare plans to most definatly stay a 2nd party developer.
and to everyone who is overjoyed by marrowwind::
you know your console is in trouble when your happy about getting moderatly rated games (marrowind has only been recieving an average score of 7.5-8 out of 10)

I´m quite entertained by the comments posted here. I personally own 2 consoles - an Xbox and a Gamecube. I bought the Xbox because I´m a graphics programmer by trade, and knew that it was head shoulders above the competition in terms of the hardware. I also liked Microsoft´s developer support plan - they were 100% comitted to helping teams create the best games possible for the system. That was really the kiss of death for N64 - Nintendo was great at helping their in-house and second party teams, but made the mistake of leaving everyone else out to dry. There were still some great games for the system - Zelda, Mario, Super Smash Brothers, but they all came from Nintendo or their partners. Still, from everything I have read, they´ve learned their lesson, and are promising a good support structure for all design houses this time around. That coupled with the guarantee of a batch of exclusive great first party games (once again, Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc.) and a decent (but not excellent!) hardware setup was enough to get me to buy the system. The only reason I never bought a PS2 was because the technology was a bit dated - perhaps if I was in the market for a console when it was released I may have bought it, but now, it´s just too old. I think the release of Max Payne displayed a trend will see more of in the future: games that are designed for either of the two newer consoles will be very difficult to port to the PS2 due to its lack of horsepower. There´s no doubt in my mind you´ll continue to see great games coming out for the PS2, but I don´t think games like Splinter Cell will be anywhere near as good on that system as they will be on XBox (or Gamecube!). Anyways, just my two cents. And if any of you kids want to debate hardware capabilities with me, I´m all ears....

When is MOH coming to xbox? Time to break out the crystal ball...O.k. Johnny, how about Max Payne running on a P4(anything over a gigahertz processor) with a GForce4? Does any console out even come close?

Ricky, to answer your question in short - no, no console comes anywhere near a P4/GeForce4 combo. XBox would definitely be closest in terms of performance, but you are still dealing with a P3/GeForce3 in the Xbox, a config that is older and slower than the setup you´ve mentioned. On the plus side, when you develop for a console you know that your game is going to run on a set piece of hardware - this makes it well worth your time to squeeze everything you can out the target platform. PC games are aimed at the average system when they are written. Programmers often try to make their games scale to the capabilities of the system they are running on (think UT or Quake), but there are limits to this, and the primary concern is really to make it run quickly on the widest range of machines. Currently, this means Celerons running GeForce2 MX cards, not P4s with Perhelia GPUs.

jedi, you´re really slow arent ya, i´ve all but stopped posting on this site... as for being jealous for whats going to the xbox, so far im not missing any triple a titles. and i dont know what rosey future your talking about, because the xbox is dieing and its future is only getting worse with each passing day as more and more titles are taken away from it. every major publication has stated the same thing over and over again " support for the xbox will dry up after 2002". and it isnt mags like nintendo power or psm saying this, its mags like egm and game informer and gamepro.
but you will just go ahead and say "wait till xbox live" just like you said wait till e3 2002" and "wait till e3 2001". what are you gonna plan on waiting for after xbox live to save your system? you people should really face the fact that while your waiting for xbox live and another e3 to save your system, people who own gcn and ps2 are done waiting, eternal darkness signaled the end of having to wait for great titles on the gcn, its time for xbox fanboys to wake up and look at whats happeining, online , in all honesty, will not save your system, there just isnt any overwhelming amount of great titles on it, and there isnt a huge market for online gaming, you only have about 10 great titles and only 2 or 3 are exclusive. ill admit that xbox has THE BEST online of any of the three consoles and theres no doubt in my mind that it will be great, but it just isnt gonna save xbox, the only way that microsoft can save the xbox is if it keeps pumping hugh amounts of money into it.
as for the gcn, it isnt doing much better either, the ps2 is crushing it in sales, and other than nintendo titles, there really isnt a whole lot of great 3rd party titles like the ps2. the ps2 still has the best line up of games for all genres (especially rpgs).

Well said Magnum. And they really can´t respond to your post negatively. They know you´re right and it burns them deep down in the pits of their stomachs. We can argue specs until the end of time. Games are what move consoles and Sony has more games than Xbox can contend with.(Oh and check out IGN´s review of Bruce Lee) Oh well as I always say: but then again:>>>>>>[ONLY COULD XBOX]<<<<<<<< have so much money behind it and still suck!

im quite interested in seeing how xbox live does, if it turns out to be utterly amazing like they are touting it, then i will look back into getting one, becasue i dont feel like paying monthly rates for the ps2 and i dont want to risk buying a modem or hard drive for the gcn which i might not get to use ( im quite dissapointed with nintendo´s unwillingness to take games like ssbm or f-zero online)

See,


thats what im talking about Magnum. those games you just listed dose not impress me at all. Zone Of Enders(I use to have the original and that game was !SHORT! ass hell on multiplaying and on single playing mode),TAKEN 4(IT SUCKS,i am a fighting game loon and i can tell you that VF4&DOA3 its alot better),shinobi(could turn out to be good but,Whats The Big Dial Thear we have->Ninja Gaiden<-coming our way(WITH XBOX GRAPHICS)man),GTA Vice City(Don´t know wich one is this? is this what they said to be playable online?)and"socom|gungrave"(i never heard of this 2PicesOfCraps so im not even going to comment on them)+ on top of that i dont like RPG´s (the only RPG i ever ownd and like is SHENMUE and some say"its not really an RPG").DUDE? this is what im talking about.All your showing me are your opinions.PS2 has nothing that really impresses me that makes me go out and say it has" the best line up of games for all genres(especially rpg)".Cause i will admit that the PS2 has a large line up,but wen you look at the games that are in that line up thears a hand full of them that i won´t even take my time to rent-them.Crapy games that are not even suppost to be release.So in effect thats what allowds me to tell you that your facts are only based on you opinions, and YOU shouldnt be stating your opinions as if they wear facts:->

yeah your completly right about opinions on games, but you shouldnt put down games you havent played i.e. socom, gungrave, tekken 4, so far the only thing ive heard about tekken 4 was that everyone says its so much better than vf4 and ive heard the same thing about shinobi when compared to ninja gaiden ( game informer voted shinobi over ninja gaiden) but the whole thing about what games look fun and what doesnt is completly opinianated.

Ricky right now its true that XBOX is lacking on good games but U seem to not be noticing the games that are coming soon to the><box.But Then Again:">>>>[ONLY COULD YOU]<<<<" be so closed minded about the box.


Oh no Magnum im not putting those 2 games down i only calld them "2PicesOfCraps" because their names sounded like crap to me.I go all the time to play Takken on the arcades against other people and the game is Flawd.The only thing that allows TAKKEN´s to be sO successful is that NAMCOM knows how to make the game look good wiel fighting i notice. Is not that the game sucks, is that the game lacks on things that its not suppost to be laking to be a 3D fighting game.And if game informer really did that vote about shinobi over Ninja Gaiden.Then i suggest you to toss that Mag away. Cause i have playd all shinobi´s and NinjaGaiden´s and thay are compleetly diferent type of Ninja games. If you ask me wish was better i coulnt anser.Simply because i liked them bough... But for some reason it almost seems like all this places you get your information from always puts the PS2 on top of XBOX.Dosent that sound funny?Probably if NinjaGaiden was on the PS2 and Shinobi on the XBOX game Infromers will tell you they voted NinjaGaiden over Shinobi just because its on the PS2(The-Best-Selling)...
