Maximo

[old.-T0p*G>N-]

This game looks class. Basically a 3d update for Ghouls and Ghosts, it's a Capcom game so comes more or less quality assured.

Anyone else keeping tabs on this title?

Check out this movie:

I think it's out in Japan, can anyone confirm this?

#Edit# Thx to Nibbler for link.

 

[Nibbler]

Yes.

 

[old.Kurt_Angle]

Tis indeed out, i have it.

I like it, but atm im all pc and nascar/

 

[jreal]

Yep Capcom equals quality,powerstone on the dreamcast was one of my fave games on the dc, definately the most fun,and that's saying an awful lot because the dc had lots of quality games.

 

[Nibbler]

I reckon Capcom and Sega are probably the best at making games.

Oh, and Nintendo too.

 

[old.-T0p*G>N-]

Apart from Pc developers like Id, Epic and Raven I reckon the best games in general are Japanese.

Sega
Nintendo
Capcom
Namco
Square

The list is almost endless, if only they'd make more games suited to western tastes. Virtually all my console games worth the money are Japanese.

 

[Embattle]

Looks very good....but it'll never have the impact of the GaG.

 

[Ono]

Wasn't it some chap from Capcom who said that they were going to concentrate predominatly on the Gamecube in future?



In one of the Edge mags if I recall.

Man from Nintendo slips a brown paper bag to the man from Capcom

Resident Evil is going to be Gc exclusive for 2002 and probally most of 2003 I highly doubt they won't back ps2 considering its unit sales.

PS2 is supposed to be a bitch to develop for, I reckon PS3 is just around the corner. ooh and tecmo did good on dead or alive.

 

[Sir Frizz]

PS3? that wont turn up for 5 whole years m0n :/
i read a while ago that a new design for the next generation of consoles had the power equivelant to 16 PS2's, though the machine was the size of an old 17" monitor

I don't reckon it's just around the corner. If you have sold shit loads of units and continue to outsell other consoles then why introduce yet another system?

What's any of this got to do with Tecmo and DOA?

 

[Embattle]

Japan might be lucky to see the system in time for Christmas 2002.

Sony didn't take advantage this christmas as it failed to provide enough units(PS2) with a national shortage hitting just in time for christmas and as yet still having an effect.

nah thats the idea, create a drought of consoles - causes publicity!

SHOCKER! SONY IN CONSOLE SHORTAGE!

It's what they do, everyone goes mental for them. Nintendo did with the release of the N64 too - just a measly 20,000units for the launch!

Publicity stunts, don't u just love em

 

[Embattle]

Not this time as its not been picked up that much.

It would also be a very bad idea to try such a stunt with the competition is releasing products in another few months.

 

[bodhi]

Neither of which really look like threatening Sony's dominance of the gaming market.

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

And there was only one console, and it was from Sony. And God smiled, for it was good...

 

[Embattle]

Sorry Bodhi but individually they do and with both of them they will.

 

[bodhi]

Sorry Embattle but No.

 

[Embattle]

Bodhi you've proved many times you are very bias to any thing you own.

 

[Sir Frizz]

i think that the PS2 individually may outsell the other two individually, but not both the Xbox and Gamecube. Figures for the PSX sales were twice as much as those of the N64 showing that power without control doesnt win you the race

There's a reason for this. I wouldn't buy it if I thought it was shit.

 

[Happy Go Lucky]

i reckon game cube is the only console worth buying, the other two don't even deserve to be called consoles

 

[Nibbler]

:uhoh:

Yeah I'm really looking foward to Luigis Mansion, looks like a classic game does'nt it.

Forget the fact Ps2 has all the shit hot titles and developers working for it lets just play some fuzzy monkey tennis or whatever it's called.

It's called Super Monkey Ball and it's fkin great.

 

[old.-T0p*G>N-]

eh?

So who would you consider great developers?

Nintendo, they're okay but they always take years and then the final product has already been done. I mean how many times do you want to rescue a princess?

 

[Sar]

PS2 = quantity of games over quality.

PSX was the same. It's only so Sony can efuse that "PS2 HAS OVAR 200 TITELS!!1"

Yer, but 85% are shit->mediocre.
