Playstation2

to the dude who played his ps(?) on his friends 73 inch HDTV, that\'s not exactly the kind of Tv most people can afford. In fact it costs several times the entire amount Ive EVER spent on my comp including upgrades.

Well the big difference that I see between the psx2 and a pc is the type of games you can play on each. It seems to me that console rpgs and action games are not very innovative. They stick with the same simplified gameplay that they used 5 years ago i.e. final fantasy. If you want immersive, innovative gameplay I think you have to go for the PC.

I love my PC, but I dont see why everyone feels the need to bash consoles. IMO they\'re both good... The last good fighting game on the PC was like One Must Fall back in the day... So I go to my friend\'s house w/the dreamcast and load up marvel vs. capcom and thoroughly get my ass beat. Then I have my friend come over and play Quake against me... hehhehhehehe

Why is staying loyal to the platform you pet so important? If you guys keep that narrow minded aproach to gaming , you\'re gonna miss out on some great games, put your pride aside , get both systems and enjoys the wealth of amazing games which bring out the qualites of their supported platform.
How many of you bought final fantasy for PC? I\'m sure a load of you enjoyed it, if it had only stayed on playstaiton, and you were to biggoted to look elswhere than the pc, you\'d have missed out on a great game.

#110 IS THE MAN.

Hell yes.

or how about this, if you don\'t like PS2,

DON\'T FUCKING BUY ONE.

and if you dont\' like PC

THROW YOUR FUCKING PC OUT.

cool, thanks FreshView

You know what, I take it back. Homeworld isn\'t really that deep.

#100, it\'s supposed to be, yes.

Deep is starcraft, homeworld, Civ. Deep is not some adventure game with a \"REALLY GOOD STORY\". Stories are nice, but they don\'t make the game deep. Deep refers to how \"into\" the game you can get. The difference in skill between the veteran and the novice. I think overall PC wins for depth (just to clarify EQ/AC/UO is not very deep at all).

Just because a game isn\'t \"deep\" doesn\'t make it bad, though.

a low low price of $400

#99. I guess you have yet to see a Video card with TV OUT?

uh that should have read \'i haven\'t heard anything about it since...\'

94 -- No kidding, I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who seriously has no interest in hooking any console to my computer monitor. A desk is a wretched place to sit to play a game, really... if I could viably avoid it with PC games I probably would.

92 -- If they could, they still wouldn\'t. Even beyond the fact that the PC hardware would make sell much lower numbers in comparison, they\'d be reducing the desirability of a PSX2 to some degree, which means a smaller market. License and peripheral sales are a major chunk of their business, so that sort of stuff would definitely fit in their bad things category.

89 -- Agreed, \"Arcade\" is not a dirty word. Depth that comes purely from gameplay is hardly something I want to see discouraged. Depth from frivolous extras, on the other hand...

79 -- Where\'d you see those numbers?

this is a little off-topic, but does anyone know if the playstation2 will be backwords compatible with psx games? i heard somewhere that it was going to be, but i haven\'t heard anything about since...

another thing about consoles is the fact that you can have 3 of your friends over for some 4 player racing, fighting or sports on a screen larger than your computer monitor.

when playstation2 does come out it would lame of them to not have an s-video out. esp. since it doubles as a dvd player.

man the playstation2 is gonna rock. i have a computer and a dvd player, but i\'m still gonna get one. while everyone\'s gonna be debating whether one is better than the other i\'ll be at home playing my playstation2 and then moving on to fraggin on my computer.

MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

WHops forgot to mention that MY PC has 5.1 Sound. So I\'m not losing in that department either.

OS troubles is as lame of a stereotype as \"all console games are for kids.\" If I have to install windows it is about 5 minof my time while I run setup and let it install while I watch the simpsons or something. a 50\" TV is also costly on your pocketbook, and the general fuzzy look that a TV gives you makes it worse. If I want my games to have the fuzzy look to them I can go buy a $10 bottle of Tequila.

3,5: they give the P3-733 like 4x the credit it deserves because they use the optimal SSE numbers. It SHOULD say that it\'s equivalent to half a dozen or so 733s.

75 million polys is a god damn helluva lot, even if the real world numbers are 1/3 that. If it\'s over 10 or 20 million, that is going to kick ass. Q3 running at 100fps is still only like 1 million.

As far as being twice as fast as a p3-733, the real issue is not processor speed, but how fast access to peripherals is. How many people running even a p2-400 are using 100% cpu power? the bottlenecks are elsewhere, among the verious buses, the video renderer, etc.

which the psx2 may very well excel at as well.
