The problem with making a sequel is that if it's bad you'll never hear the end of it. FF7 should just be left as a single game for its own good I'm sorry to say.
The other problem I have is a lot of people have apparently played FF7, but of those, how many have actually finished it?
Finally they showed him Ghost in the Shell, a 1995 full-length Japanese cartoon by Mamoru Oshii. "We want to make a live-action version of this," they said
The other side of this (not to start a flame war) is that many of the games on the PS2 simply do not look as good as those on an Xbox. Sony needs to seriously bump their graphics! If this ends up being a "PS2 + DVD Burner" like someone else said it will suck. I know they plan to bump the power, etc, that's a given, but hopefully they will push past Xbox/Xbox2
It is just a PS2 + DVD Burner. It is not the successor of the PS2, just another version.
I'm sure that the Xboxes graphics are better than the PS2s but since the PS2 outsells the Xbox I don't think it's something Sony are worried about.
A few months ago, whenever I logged onto Hotmail there'd be adverts telling people to chat to strangers online. The person who made the most friends in a month would win a prize. Trouble brewing? You tell me.
The way I see it, if I have an image and it's only 8 bit I'll use a GIF, otherwise I'll use a JPG, unless it contains text that needs to be readable in which case I'll use PNG.
For years, NVIDIA was the number one in 3D graphics on the PC. And yet, they did not release any open source drivers as it is considered top secret business confidentiality.
Why do you think ATI will do otherwise?
Probably because if they don't someone else will come along (maybe even NVIDIA) with open source drivers and kill them off.

We hate licensing and the such, but how far away are we from USB dongles?
Dongles don't work.
When Robocop 3 came out on the Amiga years ago they used a dongle. The pirates simply hacked the code and told it to ignore the dongle check.
The worst bit was that the hacked version was circulated before the game was even launched.
Digitiser was certainly one of the best things on Teletext. I think it ran for around 10 years before they decided to call it a day.
Possibly what made Digitiser so popular was not so much the fact that they reviewed games, but the very surreal humour.
The Man with the long chin and Mr T and his bins were certainly some of my favourite characters on the pages.
Now I'm just confused, I can see it with most companies, but what's that then when it comes to Microsoft?

Cleary you've never tried performing a 720 motion whilst pressing three buttons simulatenously.
My keyboard won't accept more than 2 simulatenous keypresses, so a joypad is the obvious choice for me.

The Matrix, anyone?
Worms, by Team 17, had Red Bull as an item that you could collect.
Why do you think Java is slow? What was the version that was slow?
Haven't we seen this hundreds of times before on slashdot?
Oh no! Now we're getting spammed with news stories about spam!
How come whenever Java is mentioned people think of Swing and Web Applets?
And the jokes are funnier:

Even though everyone slags off Amiga, someone always buys it when it goes up for sale.
lets see how many people get sucked in.
Just go here

All my porn comes from P2P! How am I supposed to get it now?!
So close...
as we can see typing a # is quicker than typing <UL><LI>
Cool. I made a fortune and filled in the missing step.
No offense, but this would pay for about 10 days of a junior developer's time.
I don't think you can appreciate what a mammoth task it really is. Porting Gecko will be a major effort in itself.
If it really is so easy then why hasn't someone ported it already? The Amiga still has plenty of developers left, enough to code OS4.
Is PNG the Flac of the graphic image world?
Discuss.
Does such a thing exist? Will it ever exist?
The way I see it, if I have an image and it's only 8 bit I'll use a GIF, otherwise I'll use a JPG, unless it contains text that needs to be readable in which case I'll use PNG.
Simple rule of thumb?
PSX? Isn't that the Playstation 1?
No, that was its development name. For some strange reason people still call it the PSX.
What is worse is that some people call the PS2 the PSX2.

I always thought that the Internet was invented by Microsoft and shipped with Windows 95.
