MS Reveals Big-Name Xbox Games

Posted by timothy on Monday September 30, 2002 @12:59PM from the tuxracer-flightgear-and-frozen-bubble dept.

LukeG writes "At this year's huge X02 event in Seville, Microsoft pulled out all the stops to convince the vast contingent of mainstream journalists present that the Xbox did indeed have the credentials to take on Sony and Nintendo. As well as the huge acquisition of Rare, Microsoft also reveled in the number of other potential AAA titles confirmed at the show. The best of these are examined in this preview."

Microsoft: "I really do make a good console"
Customer: "Whatever"
Microsoft: "See, look at all these games that are availble"
Customer: "Shut up, I'm trying to beat Zelda"

Reason why Nintedo is still around is because they make games that are interesting. The reason Sony is still around is they convince developers to make games that are interesting. The reason MS is a smaller player is they buy companies that make games that are interesting and ruin them.

  "I don't think there's much evidence that MS has "ruined" Ensemble or Bungie. But don't let the facts get in the way of your rant."
  One word: Halo
  MS took what was a great concept (a large massive multiplayer world) and turned it into just another shooter game (with pretty graphics and a different story).

  Really? Then how come when the argument is "Linux is utter shit" the response is almost unanimously "You have the source, fix it yourself"? Seems like a double standard to me.

  why doesn't he just make his own game? Linus made his own OS.
  
  Oh, is it because it's not that easy
  
  Hypocrisy and Slashdot.

Too bad the rest of you Slashdotters won't get to see just how bad they are for a good week or so.
