Technology Xbox 360 and new Xbox Live specs leak

#25
Man, don't be a X-hater. Just because you thought the last xbox games sucked, doesn't mean the games for 360 will suck. And I can name tons of ps2 games that sucked, so it's not as though Sony is immune from shitty games.

do you want more?

This is not to mention the games that are on both consoles which xbox provides with better graphics by far
for example
moto gp2
on ps2

on xbox


Pretty much all games that come out on both, xbox has the better graphics by far. Sports games that come out on both run so much smoother on the xbox then they do on ps2. I own both consolesfor god sakes, and every now and then i play a ps2 game or 2 if anything hyped out comes out.

And on top of this Xbox live and it's systemlink capabilities EATS ps2 anyday. What shootout game on ps2 can have 16 players playing aginst each other? what racing game allows you to race against 8 more players and to be able to build and sell cars to other people around the world and race in championships?

And on top of all this, my modded xbox is a region free DVD player that also plays mp3's DivX files, wma files well nearly any media file. I can view any jpeg on it. I can run linux and windows CE on it for god sakes. Store anything (movies music pictures, files) including games on it's hard drive. Search the internet, stream movies (including yahoo launch without even registring and logging in and simply just searching by artists). And games that come out can release updates for new maps, features and whatever whenever. (halo 2 released 4 more maps just a few weeks ago, and is releasing another 4 more in june).

For god sakes, denial is a bitch. To be so so blind and in denial despite the facts. And the same fucking arguments by the ps2 fanboys. just get over it.

I have had pretty much every single console since atari and commodore 64 (and i still do). I have over 100 ps2 games and have played ps2 for a long while, and it became clear to me that my xbox shat all over it.

PLUS, i didn't even mention the fact that i enjoy playing my games this year. I don't like ps2's loading time. Press start, come back next year. SO fucking slow.
i remember grand torismo 2
press Square to continue. Loading..... loading (forward to christmas 2004) play the game and finish that one race. Loading.... loading (forward to Easter 2005) Garage menu.

Like i enjoy playing GT4 and they've done a great job on it since i wasn't happy with Forza's graphics. Forza had so much potential but they just rushed it. They barely used half of the xbox's graphic capabilities for the game which is a dissapointment. But why do i still play forza and why haven't i played GT4 for a while?
Well, with Forza i can customise a car to anything i want adding your own decals, i can have a picture of my own mum on my car if i really wanted to. Not to mention the ability to race with others online and trade and sell cars online with anybody around the world. Enter champtionship races that are set and earn prize money and prize cars. Being able to race with other people online and placing a wager.

I really really really didn't want to do this, but you just frustrated me. Now just stay on topic and contribute to the board, if you can't do that, then don't post useless posts that are unrelated to the topic.

Now all this said, getting back on topic.
Any news on the wireless contollers and the batterie issue i'm worried about? I'm just hoping, just hoping that they somehow recharge or something.
i'm dissapointed about the first model being shipped with a 20gb hard drive. But this said, i probably won't buy one till the prices drop a bit and the xbox can be chipped (once it can be chipped i'll buy 2 - one for xbox live, and one for the joys that come along with a modded xbox)

most of the games you mentioned are not even that good

who gives a shit about this ? thats the thing with xbox fans they like ahh it can play divx, you can view pictures... whos gives a shit ?

like the dude on gamespot said you could have the most powerful console in the world, but if it hasent got good games... then its nothing.

a games console is a games console, and thats what makes the ps2 alot better than xbox, because of its games

the xbox 360 from what ive seen isnt that impressive. it doesnt look like a big improvement over the OG xbox. the tony hawk looks like something from xbox, so does project gothem. and im pretty sure the madden was CGI. ill wait until ps3 comes out. until then ill play my OG xbox.

The graphics that I'm seeing don't seem too special. It doesn't look like something the original Xbox couldn't do. I think its too early for the next generation. I'm perfectly happy with my Xbox and PS2. And I just don't think the graphics are improving that much cause those screens look like something the current consoles could do relativley easily.

If you come into a thread like this again and post offtopic crap, I will ban you from Entertainment Tonight, and if you bitch, I will ban you from the board.

The same goes for anyone.

THIS IS NOT A PS2 VS XBOX thread, this is not a ps3 vs 360 thread. Anyone that turns these types of thread into argument by introducing the same old tired arguments which have been proven to be bullshit, will be sorry.

The same goes for Xbox fans and Sony threads.

The dictator is here. I dare you to try me by even posting a bullshit reply to this.

i still dont like the look of the console, looks like that pizza maker in back to future 2
Its kind of weird, I dont like the rounded in edges of it, I dont see how it will sit well on my shelf, I dont think I will be able to stand it up.

But, I do think its the best looking system since the Dreamcast which I thought looked dope. The PS's have always been ugly as fuck, and the Xbox was just too balky.

They wanted a futuristic look to it, and judging by your comparison I guess they succeeded.

I dont think graphics will get much better between generations anymore, what will change is how they are applyed and the scale of games created. The limitations arent on the hardware, but on the game makers skills.

Oh and just incase anybody hasn't seen some of the xbox 360 videos floating around on the net currently.
Here's a 5 minute video from our colony (you'll need broadband for these, it's around 45 mb). This video goes behind the scenes with the team that made xbox.
http://msxb.wmod.llnwd.net/a274/o2/ourcolony/TheColony_v1_750k.wmv

And this is another video that is pretty cool. (74 mb file)
http://www.kikizo.com/viewer/vidvie...deofeature/kikizo_xbox360_indepth_feature.wmv

Oh and for the wireless controllers:
2 aa batteries last for 40hours, but for those who really hate the battery idea (me) they have a rechargable pack that recharges the controllers via usb.

XBOX 360, PS3, Nintendo Revolution? Time will tell to see which one is the best...

I have to agree with The One on Xbox over PS2, it literally shits on it...

btw turn-based RPG's (Final Fantasy) are boring and stupid ;)
