There is no surprise that I am a video game fanatic none what so ever but with the temptation of new systems in the air I just can't help but wonder what First generation games on these new systems are going to look like.
Will the graphics be a vast improvement or will we have to wait for second genaration games to seen any noticable difference ahhh the suspence.
What will games like Metal Gear Solid or Grand Tourismo and dare I say it Grand Theft Auto look like on these new consoles? It's enough to drive a person mad just thinking about it.
XBox 2 ( aka the hexbox)
Anyway I came across the first issue of Official Xbox magazine dated 2001 and its funny how so many things didn't pan out for Microsoft with there so called Uber console. They didn't dominate the industry as they had hoped the games were lackluster at best and the few breakout titles that did shine brightly on the box have faded into obscurity. Ok ok for all you Halo fan boys out there yes it's a stand out big whoop. Now mind you I have all 3 major consoles and each has their weaknesses and their strenght. Sadly the box just didn't have the software it's a shame really becasue properly implemented the system could have dominated. So what will Xbox 2 ( or what ever they call it) have in store for us only time will tell. Will they be able to dethrone Sony and the Might PS3? maybe.
Nintendo Revolution.
That is the moniker that the new system by Nintendo will be sporting. Humm revolution huh?
Well lets see ever since the 16 bit era poor Nintendo has just tripped over their own feet time and time again. The Nintendo 64 while a good system could not beat it's CD based compitition namely Sony let us not forget that Virtual Boy disaster. While the Gameboy has been able to keep the big N as a competitor sadly the Gamecube just didn't have the software to back up the hardware. No one is denying that Nintendo can't make a good game not at all they just have such high control standards on certain things that they stifle creativity. And whats with those mini coasters ugh why the propriatary disk? shessh I lose those damn things in plain site. Lets hope the Big N can pull one out with this new system and shut all the nay sayers up once and for all.
PS3
Am I a Sony fan? yup you bet
Why you may ask when the2 aforementioned systems are supposed to be superior?
One reason selection.
Ok so the ps2 is underpowered in terms of processor speed, it didn't come internet ready out of the box and there was no hard drive built in. But the selection of games can't be denied.
GTA is a prime example of this. It was out on the PS2 first then PC then XBox ( sorry no Nintendo port) Now granted first doesn't always mean best but hey faster processor doesn't equal better games either.
And now with PS3 on the gaming radar I wonder will Sony once again be the one to beat?
Plus now with their hand held PSP what does that do for Nintendo's handheld market?
the suspense is killing me to find out.
But needless to say as screen shots start filtering on the internet and specs become more defined only time will tell who will dominate the brain rotting video game market and I for one couldn't be happier.
