An updated version with modern graphics would be welcome, IMO. - That's exactly what the RE1 Remake is, a completely redone, enhanced version of the classic. RE0 which was just released is more of the same unfortunately. Then there's RE4, due out sometime before 2010, which will be 100% realtime with a reworked camera system and controls.

Amen to that jonopolis. In the history of gaming the only handhelds that have lived to fight against the gameboy are the handhelds that arn't originally made for gaming. Sure the wonderswan is mildly popular, but is now where near being a threat to the game boy. Look at the PDA: not originally made for handheld gaming, but took off as a fairly profitable platform for games. Cell phones can work the same way. Throw a few cool games on them to wet people's wistles, then start offering little cards with other games made by some of the top video game developers and publishers.
the main biohazard/resident evil games are exclusive to the gamecube - that means anything that is part of the main storyline (re0, re1, re2, re3, re:cv, re4). Re1 was a total remake of the original, 0 and 4 are both brand new exclusives to the cube, and 2, 3, and cv are straight ports.
As for the Gun Survivor 4: Biohazard, it's just an offshoot of the RE/Biohazard series which is why sony is getting it. Capcom decided to make a few spinoffs from the main storyline for the PS2, including an online game.
Gun Survivor sounds to me like it's just another house of the dead rip-off, and the other RE title for ps2, RE Online, doesn't seem that it will really feel like RE. To me, RE was all about sitting by yourself in a dark room at all hours of the night having the shit scared out of you, but that might just be me... How online would work is beyond me.
Frankly, I dont have a good reason to use anything else. Windows does what I need it to do, i'm already used to all the software I use for it, and I have very few problems.
I've considered running Linux, but don't feel like putting all the time into finding new software that I like. Also, as my college, parents, friends, everyone else I know runs on Windows and I need to be compatible. I also know that most Linux programs can work fine with their Windows counterparts but then why switch?
The only software of Microsoft's that I dont like is Visual C++ (Borland C++Builder is far superior), Internet Explorer, and MSN Messenger. The only reason I use messenger is because I can't get the damn thing off my Windows XP computer and figured why the hell not.
I'm very fond of MS Office 2000 and XP, and even though I dont have as much control over Windows XP as I would like, it runs damn good and I have VERY few problems.
I am, however, very into the whole open source software trends. I've recently downloaded the Gimp for Windows, OpenOffice, FileZilla, and a bunch of other open source stuff. I've been a Mozilla user for about 6 months now and havent looked back at IE since. I only use IE for the few websites that dont seem to open in Mozilla for me, and to doublecheck the website I work at to make sure all my coding looks good on both browsers. As for OpenOffice, I wasn't very impressed and still prefer MS Office. The Gimp would be a lot better if it had more Windows filter packs (BTW, please email me at frozen@gccafe.com if you know of a place I can get some great filters). If it did I wouldnt have boughten Photoshop 7 and would have just stuck with 5, using the Gimp as my main photo program.
So basically, I use Windows because I'm one of those rare people who really have no major complaints.
It is fairly easy to tell that it does what it say it does, because 1) no more ads and 2) most computer savyy people can tell what else is installed along with one program by simply looking at the control panel add/remove programs (did you ever notice b3d projector) and for additional folders in the Program Files folder.
Plus the new version uses less resourses then the original, not to mention not having to pull down ads from the internet which in turns ups your available bandwidth a bit.
