In Response To: Wow. (mukuface)

: I say potential because ... well, oils and acrylics can be used to make
: paintings, right? And with any sort of web development tools (Flash,
: Shockwave, etc.) anyone can make a slightly interactive web page, right?
: But only people with true talent and skill make truly outstanding works of
: art, or truly unbelievable web pages. And, I must say, the tools are
: there; we must simply wait for the Picassos and the XiaoXiao's of the XBox
: Development world to surface.

I guess you could have said the same thing about the Playstation 2 Release last year. Hmmm....

: Simply put, I'm not impressed with the first-generation games that XBox
: currently has demos for. Maybe they'll improve; actually, I KNOW they'll
: improve. PS2's opening lineup wasn't (to me) all that impressive either;
: now, I have great games to go along with my system, and more to follow,
: now that it's November (MGS2 and Soul Reaver 2, anyone?) Likewise, as the
: months go on, I'm sure developers, once they're more comfortable with the
: hardware, will come out with very impressive games, which would convince
: me to purchase the system. Right now, though, I'm quite content with Devil
: May Cry, Ico, Silent Hill 2, Capcom Vs SNK 2, Klonua, and a little-known
: Unison. These games will tide me over until that time that the XBox
: becomes, in my eyes, the "must-have" system.

Fair enough. You're not impressed. Xbox launch games are, IMNSHO, by comparison, superior to what PS2 offered a year ago. Obviously, I'm biased: I think PS2 is a nice peice of hardware, but its beginning to show its age.

: And may I say, Morphius, that every time you talk about XBox, you only
: mention Halo. Not Munch's Odessey, not NFL Fever 2002, and not Wreckless:
: The Yakuza Mission (which looks damn hot, btw.)

Well... this IS a Halo Fan page, so that's understandable. BTW, I've palyed a little Munch's and its visually impressive (for the 5 minutes I played it at the local EB Game Stop). But, in comparison to the PS2 launch titles last year, Halo seems to be head & shoulders & stilts above.

: Also, may I say that the XBox controller is DAMN unwieldy, and the XBox's
: mammoth size certainly matches its raw processing power.

Some would say that size doesn't matter :P

The thing could be the size of a refridgerator... if it plays good games, I'll buy it.

: You may start your flames.

No flames! After that nightmare thread below... we're mostly out of fuel.
