Meshugger

Every time i read the last line at alanchu's signature, i can't help putting up a chuckle. Personally, i don't care much who "wins" the console race, but when the fanboys on any system start using argements like that, it's too silly to ignore

I use the nVidia Soundstorm with an onboard Dolby Digital 5.1-encoder, connected to my 5.1 reciever through the S/PDIF (less wires!), it's nice to play all my movies, music and games in DD5.1 Too bad that there hasn't been a soundcard since that does hardware Dolby Digital or DTS encoding

1998: S3 Virge 4mb Ram 1998 - 1999: 3dfx Voodoo 2 12mb Ram 1999 - 2001: 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 16mb ram 2001 - 2002: nVidia Geforce 2 GTS 32mb ram 2002 - 2004: nVidia Geforce 4 Ti 4200 64 mb ram 2004 - now: Ati Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb ram

Blu-ray, shoe-ray, HD-DVD, HIV. The console with the best game library wins.

RPG's and FPS's can work together sometime - Deus Ex (I know that System Shock belongs there too, but again, we're talking about successful games here)

Aside from the most obvious Slayer and others already mentioned above, i would heavily recommend Vio-lence. The lead-guitarist later formed Machine Head.

Exactly, hell has now officially frozen over Tavataan Helsingiss

Lordi FTW tonight!

I find that cartoon on the wall somewhat interesting, D&D-nerds are wearing Manowar t-shirts? HAH!

I'm going by market share, not profits. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exactly. The Xbox was just a way for MS to penetrate the console market, and they got a pretty big share of it(20%). But the for each Xbox sold, MS actually lost money, not gained. For Sony and MS, their consoles are part of a larger corporate goal, while Nintendo are still struggling with the "just a console"-idea, since they actaully have to make money of it.

...or because Ken Kutaragi is anti-microsoft by sheer principle(or so i've heard).

Those peeps at Bioware really know how to use the Unreal Engine to its full extent.

Sneaky ones, aren't they?

Here i was about to add that the Collectors edition will not have the DM-client, but some of you were faster.

Bah, that's like saying to a frenchman that there's more in life than culture and love. Stay true to your nature, fellow gamer

A missing DM client means nothing to me, since i play strictly SP-campaigns in RPG's. On the other hand, releasing a game without a key component isn't a good thing either.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think that's KotOR III, it's more likely that it's darth vader game, spanning between the EPIII and EPIV-timeline.

Eh? what's happening? One minute it's jolly good-times and then suddenly rumors about it being cancelled?

Fair enough.

Godammit people! Haven't you learned yet? One little smirk about Jade Empire, may it be sarcastic or not, will summon an immidiate r00fles to the thread, followed by 15-page discussion about something we all already know: Volourn likes JE

Just another note. Halo 2's first trailer, the one where Master Chief jumped out in space, was way better than the trailer to Halo 3.

In my opinion the MGS4 trailer wasn't all that great. So far the story for MGS4 doesn't seem that exciting to me, it will probably just have some weird Japense plot that makes almost no sense. If you want to see something boring, go watch the Sony press conference. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Each to its own. I found Halo 3 to be a typical Hollywood blockbuster trailer, nothing special there IMO. While MGS4 had better art direction, interesting characters and a darker, more adult presentation. But then again, that's IMHO.

Here's another link: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/b...ounce_large.wmv Got it at 500kb/s. The trailer itself was nothing compared to the initial Halo 2 trailer in 2003. The graphics were a bit better as expected, and the music was yet again copy-pasted from the original Halo. It seems like it has lost some steam through the installments. I will rate it avarage. MGS4 still owns this e3 though.
