XBOX 360
Well I've been reading a little about the XBOX 360 and the Playstation 3. I prefer the current XBOX over the current PS2, hands down. I have both and rarely play the PS2 anymore. Although my girlfriend bought me Juiced for the PS2 so I play that game when I get a chance. I just picked up Flatout for the XBOX today. Some of you may know that Flatout actually came out in Europe/UK back in late November or early December in 2004. A bunch of people downloaded it and have been playing it online via a neat little program called Flatout Net (the game came with no online support. Flatout Net emulates a LAN over the internet). Well it came out in the US yesterday. Only 8 months after it came out in the rest of the world. Hell, we're catching up!! I've not tried the PC US version to see if it's online compabitle or what. The XBOX version is XBOX Live compatible though, so I'll have to try that too.
I ordered, through Ebay, a Smart Joy Box II or whatever it was for the XBOX. Apparently, you can hook it into your controller port on your XBOX and then hook up a mouse and keyboard to the XBOX Smart Joy Box II adapter. It advertises that it works on all games whether there is a preset profile for it or not. I'm really only concerned with how it performs on Halo 2 and Conker: Live and Reloaded. I've you've seen Conker, you might think it'd be gay to play it online, but it's not. The guns 'n whatnot are crazy. It's alot of fun blowing up other bears, squirrels, rabbits and kittens that are trying to blow you up too.
Ok so my post is titled "XBOX 360" and I haven't said anything about it yet. Well I'm trying to figure out how much it's going to cost. I've read 300 dollars and I've read 500 dollars, so I suppose I'll have to just wait and see. Hopefully games aren't more than current new games are. If you think about it, they really shouldn't be because if it's going to cost more to buy a game because it's higher graphics, better picture, better color, better performance, higher quality gaming or whatever, then well hell, PC games have ALWAYS been ahead of any console in the history of consoles. Guess what. Us PC Gamers already play everything at at least 1024x768 or higher, so better resolution is nothing new to us. Just like Halo 2 is nothing new to us who have been playing FPS (first person shooter) games since Wolfenstein and Doom 1 and yes, even played Rise of the Triad. We never missed a new FPS. Then Halo comes along and everyone OOOOOs and AHHHHs over it. Whatever. The PC version is quite less than spectacular, let me tell ya.
Ok so yeah...I will buy an XBOX 360 when it comes out and I will have a copy of Need for Speed: Most Wanted because it looks great. And I'll enjoy the hell out of every game I ever play on the system. The thing is, these gaming companies are really going to have to step it up a notch to keep up with the consumer demand for the quality of game we are going to be expecting out of EVERY game for the XBOX 360.
