Next GTA! - Rooner - 07-02-2003
Ill give you that, MK sucked after MK3, but MK started my quest for realism in games. After that, it became hard to play cartoony games.

I don't know why folks continue to make a "console vs. PC" debate.
When a console is built, that's it. Games are made based on that current technology, and when games get too advanced, guess what happens? A new console is built to accomodate them. You are acting like you don't upgrade. You don't? So none of you will buy the impending PS-III whenever it's created, wiil you?
Here's a quick list (tell me if I miss any):
<b>Sega</b>-- Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast.
<b>Nintendo</b>-- NES, Super NES, N-64, Gamecube
<b>Sony</b>-- Playstation, PS2 (PS-III is confirmed on the way)
The truth is, you "upgrade" your consoles roughly every 3 years or so, which is about the same time a PC user has to upgrade his or her system.
The only difference is that my PC has better backward compatibility (I can still play many-- not all, but many-- DOS-based games if I wanted to), can play DVD's, surf the Net, play or edit videos and music, create documents and templates.
Oh, if I <i>really</i> wanted to play a "console-exclusive" game on my PC, they have emulators that can handle that for me too. It's like having a Genesis/Gamcube/PS2 all-in-one.

Brain - I don't think whats going on here is a "console v. PC debate" ...more like Sony vs nintendo...
also - show me a Gamecube emulator, I'll show you Nintendo shutting it down.
and I hear ya. I only own Gamecube BUT...I love my MAME as well. :backflip:

Ahhhh, true, but a PC is not as portable as a console, if Im headed out on vacation, I can bring my PS2 for those rainy days when theres nothing to do at the shore. Plus a console doesnt have HALF the problems a pc has, not the crashing, the chance of getting a virus, no locking up. Ill keep my pc for the internet, work, and other things. I only play games on my console.

:lol:Remember, most laptops these days have faster procsessors than any console, better graphics and audio cards, and USB ports for controllers, and can do everything that a PC can do that I listed above. In many respects, some versions of today's laptops can be replacements for the ol' desktop.
EDIT: A console <b>doesn't lock up</b>, or experience slowdowns? Since when? Isn't there a reason why they all have reset buttons located on their sides? I certainly recall using those on my Genesis or NES back in the days.
As for getting a virus, it will become more and more possible as consoles move to constant online broadband connections. You think it's easy to hack into a PC? Imagine the feeble defenses a console will offer.

Like I said, for me personally, I prefer to play on a console and keep my pc for work and the internet.

ah, but is there anything better than getting into a car in GTA3 and hearing "Charles Heston damns NY traffic" or maybe a nice 90 minute show?
