Cry some more!
So, any thoughts on the 3 (or 4) new consoles? I think that the revolution looks like crap, but will probably be a lot less expensive and also cost less to develop games for... So, probably nintendo will remain the last bastion of inovation. add to it a "nintendo live" for free service WITH a big library of classics for download, full backwards compatibility and wireless conectivity with the ds...
The PS3 is a freacking Behemoth, it has apparently trounced and crushed the 360 in both in the specs and the videos... Nvidia says its video ship is more powerfull Also, it has a lot of interesting media and conectivity options (two HD monitors and 7 controllers???). But I'm afraid of hwo conservative and me-too the games for both systems will be, considering the HUGE increase in the necessary development budgets... The Xbox 360 will have more freedom in its peripherals (it will be compatible with all kinds of USB devices, including the ipod), while sony will, as usual, push for the sony brand stuff.
The new ps3 controller also looks like crap, BTw, even if the console itself is pretty. The xbox is nice... I hope it really gets a lot more exclusives than in this gen, because both the rev and ps3 beat it in this department, and both will have stronger online presences. IF the 360 plays just a few select original xbox games, that is a weakness. the PS3 is slated to play both its predecessors games (a major advantage, imo, and a reason for me to consider buying it).
Anyway, I am really afraid of console and game prices for the PS3 and the 360. I foresee many, many, many versions of Madden, GTA and Halo... but few new Katamari Damacy crazy stuff.
I intend to get the Rev, for sure, a couple of years after launch, and maybe the PS3.
Well, these are just my thoughts on the issues. I don't have any bias pro or against sony and MS in this arena. I do like the current Nintendo stuff, but I'd be
stupid to say that the revolution is prettier or more powerfull than its peers. I do believe, though, that it may end up being a strength of the system.
PS: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess looks like it can be one of the best games ever... I completelly amazed.
