Reflections on the Holy Trinity

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the of-consoles-not-christianity dept.

1up has a piece looking at gaming's future by reflecting on gaming's past. What do the launches of older systems teach us to expect from the PS3's ... eventual debut. From the article: "Shouts of 'Dreamcast' ... fall a little flat when you consider that Dreamcast was more of a last-ditch attempt from a company that hadn't turned a profit in 10 years. Microsoft isn't bowing out anytime soon, which means that being out in front will probably be an advantage -- by the time Sony launches, the 360 will be over the launch hiccups and rolling with a steady stream of new software. On the other hand, if Blu-ray is as big for the PS3 as DVD was for the PS2, Microsoft could find itself technologically inferior -- a direct consequence of its rush to market. "

    Tank/Slower/Healer

    Nukers are too risky to use to get it down quicker. They'd be fine if aggro issues weren't a problem. But for a safer/steady kill rate, the holy trinity is definately Tank/Slower/Healer.
