so is the 360 as dope as everyone said it was?
jeromechickenbone:
You guys realize that the reason the 360 doesn't look much different than the OG Xbox is because the game technology hasn't caught up yet? It takes time for game developers to step up - they are all still making games that are suitable for Xbox/PS2. The graphics that we are seeing thus far are nothing compared to what we will see in 2,3,4,5 years on these next gen consoles. The games were really just pushing the old Xbox to its threshold within the last year or so.
So don't base your thoughts on the 360 on the fact that the new games don't look that much better.

True, true. It might have actually been too early to bring the system out, since game development is still concentrated on the older systems. Most games are gonna be compromise titles for a while - available for the old and the new Xbox, but with prettier graphics on the 360. But when you base the different versions on the same basic game, there are none of those WOW!-type of differences. Many developers want to "wrap things up" on the older system before moving on to just the new systems. For example the next Mortal Kombat will come out for the Xbox and the PS2, but not for the 360.
As far as I see it, the 360 itself is solid. The problem is the fact that there are no attractor games for it, like Halo was for the first Xbox.

yea but the ps2 had no kiler app when it first launched either,will just have to wait and see, Oblivion comes out in march,which is one of the most highly anticipated RPGs of the year, this game alone was one of the main reasons i got a 360

Launch titles are soooo important, imo. Call of Duty is without a doubt the sickest war game i've ever seen, but i don't think it was enough to make people rush out and buy a 360. When Halo 3 drops, thats when peeps will start trippin. I'm gonna get a 360, its just a matter of me finding one at best buy. (i have $300 in gift certificates, so i'll probably use it on that). I will def get a PS3 as well, because everything I hear really makes me believe it will give xbox a legit run for its money. PS2 couldn't fuck with the OG Xbox, but PS3 could be a diff story.

Well maybe not right out the gate, but PS2 had Gran Turismo and GTA3 pretty early on. (If I remember correctly.)
