Playstation 3 In the Works
Kredal writes "The Independent is running a story about Sony's work on a new console, being built around online games, such as Everquest Adventures and Final Fantasy 11. No word on backwards compatability, but expect it to be the X-Box killer if it is."
FF11 already has me lusting.
All I have to say is Luigi's Castle... oh wait, that really sucked. (Especially compared to Halo)
/., home of the RIAA/MPAA/Adobe/GPL/XBOX/European hypocrites.
And I wouldn't hold my breathe for the new Mario (Mario walks around with a water cannon trying to remove graffiti (??)) or the new Super Cartoony Zelda, or the first person Metroid (that is just capitalizing on Halo and the FPS craze.)
I'm sorry, I'd rather be playing the new World Series Baseball, Halo, Spiderman (on the best of the multi-console translations), the new Toe Jam & Earl game (how many of you remember that old Genesis game,) NFL Fever, Midtown Madness 3, Max Payne (I'm sorry, the game is DESIGNED for a control pad, not keyboard+mouse,) Morrowind, Project Ego, POW, etc etc etc.
Yes Yes, the PS2 has great games too (although it has games like Britney's Dance Beat too) and so does the gamecube (currently, all three of them.) But the only reason everyone is trashin the xbox is because it's from microsoft.
I mean, come on... I'm hearing comments like "It's too fucking big." WHO THE FUCK CARES? If it plays games better than any other system than who cares if it's about 15% bigger than the PS2? My tivo is fucking huge but I don't complain about it's size when I talk about functionality. A comment like that has no basis other than resentment and bias against Microsoft (oh, and the US too since apparently that's a US-only design trait.)
The XBox is a great system with great games. So is the PS2 and so is the GC. Less anti-microsoft, anti-us rhetoric... oh wait, this is
