If this rumour turns out to be true, then the choice is quite obvious to me: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/24/news_6126410.html Also, GTA: San Andreas is one of the best games I've ever played on any platform. Saying all GTA's are the same is kind of tragic. You should really try playing them (especially GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas) and form your own opinion.

Useless info: OVIK (OllonV

I'm just happy to find someone else who enjoys 2nd Edition the most.. (From playing all those Gold box games in my youth)

From my experience, being able to code in ASM is pretty useful when trying to optimize code. I imagine it's only useful when trying to create something superfast (code that's not wasting a single cycle) like, for example, graphic rendering or physics calculation.

I don't understand your reasoning. The combat in Bloodlines could be boring, if you made it boring. It could also be lots of fun, if you (for example) used the time-slowing skill (actually super-fast skill, but it looked like bullet-time). It was just as fun as you made it. And that's exactly the case with Jade Empire's combat too! If you abuse Jade Empire's substandard AI and just jump around all over the place (looking like a monkey on crack) you never lose a fight. Of course, the drawback is that the combat becomes boring. If you take the time to actually use the different skills you learn throughout the game and implement some tactics, the combat is more difficult but also more rewarding (= more fun). Different combat systems, yes, but they can be abused in similar ways. So how can you be a complete fanboi over Jade Empire while whining your lungs out about Bloodlines? (I actually know the answer to this one, but I'd rather hear your explanation)

I do..

Yeah, they're cool. Except for the fact that you probably need to be a hitman in real life to be able to complete them. They're extremely difficult games! (I only played Hitman and Hitman 2 though)

Metroid Prime (action) Soul Calibur 2 (fighting) SSX3 (sports) Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (action-adventure) I couldn't find any good racing games for the Gamecube, but the other genres have been covered by earlier thread participants.

Well, according to Gamespot Hardware, it's the PS3 GPU that's 50 MHz faster than the Xbox 360 equivalent. Not that all this really matters anyhow. It's the games, not the hardware, that decides which console will win the war. I mean, the PS2 isn't close to the Xbox in hardware but still dominates the market.

Where have you heard this? I've read the PS3 beats the Xbox 360 in both processor power and graphic card capacity. Apparently the 256 Mb 700 Mhz DDR3 RAM graphic card in the PS3 will be equivalent of TWO Geforce 6800 Ultra. The only thing I know about the graphic card in the Xbox 360 is that it's made by ATI and has only 10 Mb dedicated memory. Anything above that it shares with the rest of the system from the 512 Mb internal memory.

54 Gb? Naah, make it an even 100 Gb! Unfortunately for us there's no correlation between storage space and the size of the RPG's. I mean Ultima 5 on the Commodore 64 was probably ten times larger (longer?) than Neverwinter Nights, yet required less than 1/1000 of the storage space of Neverwinter Nights. More space usually equals more pre-rendered (and, in my opinion, totally meaningless) movies. I wish every RPG was about the size of.. World of Warcraft..

PS3 RPG? I don't know why, but that sounds very improbable to me. Obsidian are linked to Bioware who are linked to Xbox/Microsoft (perhaps only in my mind). Who knows, maybe Obsidian will put something on the PS3 market, but the thought hadn't even crossed my mind.

When a movie premieres in the US two months before it comes to Europe, I can understand that the frustration makes people download movies. But when a movie like this one (that had a world wide premiere) gets downloaded, I just don't get it. It's not THAT expensive to go to the movie theatre, AND you get better picture, better sound and more popcorn thrown in your hair.

I wouldn't know. Neither would you, for that matter. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, I think everyone with average (or above) intelligence caught that. Gee, I wonder why you didn't?

So too much is not enough? I mean, the movie is already breaking every record out there, despite it being out for download already. And who cares if it breaks any records or not? That's just silly.

I just watched the Gothic 3 hand-cam german trailer and compared to Oblivion I must say Gothic 3's grass looked better.

Some people have looked at me funny when I've eaten toast with caviar.. But that's not unusual, is it?

Hey, FaramirK, it is obvious by now that you think very highly of yourself (to the point that you think you can 'review' other posts and judge them somehow), but how about you, yourself, stop being hostile and derogatory? It would surely help the discussion. Also, as this quote clearly indicates, you don't have to act dumber than you are. Or is it really that bad, that you missed the point of what he was saying? "Babies cannot survive on their own".. Yeah, stating-the-obvious to make the other part in a discussion seem stupid is also "a popular but flawed debate technique" (in your own words) but that's only avoiding the subject in a clumsy and annoying way. Please don't believe for a second that your own "debate techniques" aren't "flawed" in the eyes of others, because they're just as good/bad as anyone elses in this (rather silly) thread. Including this one. The point is that somewhere must we draw the line for when a clump of cells becomes a human being. Is a sperm a human being? Then you kill millions every time you play with yourself, so that can't be it. Is the simple combination of the female egg and the male sperm a human? Then nature is a cruel murderer, because lots of those combinations fail at first too. By the time we're able to save a prematurely born child from dying is, in my opinion, a good way of drawing the line between a fetus and a human being, and that is, obviously, what Jayque was referring to in the first place.

Science may be fallible, but at least it's constantly improving, evolving, and most important of all, not stagnating on pure belief. Religion does not evolve voluntarily. The only time religion changes is when science forces it to do so, like when changing from a geocentric view of the world to a heliocentric.

Well, remember the PS3 supports seven (7!) controllers at the same time. Imagine the snake pit on your TV-room floor if you had all of those connected by wires..

The PS3 is using Bluetooth v2.0 (I think it was) and with that technology, you don't even have to be in the same room to play. It goes through walls. Not sure what the Xbox 360 uses though. Also, with the Bluetooth you'll have something like 24 hours battery time in the controllers, because Bluetooth is extremely battery friendly.

Yeah, considering the last Indiana Jones Game was a lot more like Tomb Raider than Fate of Atlantis, I think it's a safe bet the next Indy-game will be an action adventure too.

8 new screenshots from Gothic 3 so far. Kind of.. disappointing.

I'm betting three of those five projects are modules to existing software.
