In anyone's interested, the new Xbox

Yes, but where are the satellite images of the thing?

cool

but unless they get a better controller design i still wont give a s***.

design is awsome compared to the xbox. wonder what ps3 is gonna look like

It looks sleek as hell, and Microsoft Japan has actually started to hire some big-name project leaders (ex-capcom and the like).

My biggest (lol hueg) gripe with the X-box is the almost laughingly bad software library. Hopefully this will change.

They've already done the giant heatsink look with the ps2, I dont know how they can top that one for ugliness but I'm sure they'll be trying.

Just because you dont like it, doesn't make it laughably bad. Theres probably more games on xbox at the moment that I enjoy playing/want to play than any of the other consoles. Only things on PS2 at the moment I want to play are the new GTA (coming to Xbox and PC soon), MGS3 (which will probably make its way to Xbox eventually in some kind of improved state, ala MGS2 substance), and God of War. Only thing on Gamecube I want to play is Resident Evil 4.

It all comes down to personal opinion in the end. In my opinion, while PS2 may have many more games than any of the other consoles, it doesn't necessarily have more games worth playing.

Ninja Gaiden is reason enough to own an X-Box.

looks pretty awesome imo

By the same account, the only thing Xbox exclusives I'd even touch with a 20 foot pole are Ninja Gaiden and Jade Empire (that one being quite recent).

Edit: Beaten to the mad ninja gaiden props by Dais :(

Would have been better if it hovered over a magnetic plate.

But even with games that are on all three consoles, I'd go for the XBox versions. Generally they look the best, and I like the XBox controller the best.

really khel? i cant stand the xbox controler its very uncomfortable, i like the ps2 controler alot better

Yeah, I think its cos its like the Dreamcast controllers, and I loved them too. Big chunky controllers you can really wrap your hands around. I find the Ps2 controllers are a little bit too small to be comfortable. After an hour or two using a Ps2 controller I start getting cramps in my hands.

I really like the feel of the PS2 controller in general, but it's f***ing dangerously bad for long periods of usage.

I only recently discovered this after purchasing Devil May Cry 3.

Hey hashy. What movie is the pic out of? he plays the role of a butler doesnt he?

Take a squiz at the URL

ty. should of thought of that. i thought it was after i posted. he always licks his fingers.

Bring on Burnout 4 and Project Gotham 3.

f*** yeah, new Burnout game looks rad. I was trying to think earlier today if there was any games I was really looking forward to, but I forgot all about the new Burnout game.

I don't like the Playstation controller much at all. I have fairly big hands, and the PS2 control is just too small. It's barely even moulded to the hand. My thumbs ach like f*** after I've been using it for a while.

I love the Gamecube controller though. HATE the original Xbox control, but the New one is awesome, I like it as much as I do the Gamecube one.

take ma stronngg hand!

Yep those gamecube controllers are by far the best.
I've use all three (except the new Xbox controller) and the GCN controller fits like a glove. All it needed, was another Z like button above the other shoulder button.

MY GERMS!!!

dreamcast = best controller i have ever used...apart from keyboard and mouse.

I hear Nintendo dont want A or B buttons on their new controller. They reckon it'll be revolutionary. Either that or crazily stupid.

sega megadrive 2 controller for the win :)

"A GAME AIN'T A GAME WITHOUT A KEYBOARD"

Am I the only one who thinks these 'leaks' are actually a marketing bulls***? Who gives a s*** if pictures of some flashy box is released.

No it's a mere pronounciation issue.

What the japs really meant to say was "XBOX 360 pics Reaked".

Fly lice.

lacist asshore.

xbox controller for the win.
both big and small i love.
the amount of buttons and having anologue triggers AND sticks is awesum.

makes it great for car games and pretty much everything else aswell.

Khel: God of War is awesome, just as good as Devil May Cry 3 (and they are both so very very similar).

MGS3 - play it through on hard difficulty or it's not worth it, but you'll find yourself getting frustrated at the camera angles.

That's just a rumour that's been floating around, I doubt it's true. But we really don't even know what kind of controllers will be used yet. They've just licenced some sort of gyro technology, if that accounts for anything.

supposedly the nintendo consoles controllers are going to have a touch screen on them.

btw chris those pics are fake. :(

Yeah, God of War sounds awesome from everything I've read, almost makes me wish I still had a ps2 :( Devil May Cry 3 might be good, but after the second one, I'm not sure I'd be willing to give it a go. I really liked the first Devil May Cry, but the second one was a steaming pile of ass.

I can varify that it is indeed good.

Awesome (though overrated) difficulty, great storyline, good (if not cheesy, but cheesy in a good way) characterization, stunning cinematics...

Oh, and I disliked God of War. Even on hard it felt like more of a chore to die than something you'd try to avoid and the combat was kind've shallow, though presentation was out-of-this-world-good.

for some reason i don't like it that much.. better then the first xbox but still not really sleek enough for me :S

sms ftw
