Halo 2 release date


Recommended Posts

gimme some arguments of the X-Box -over the PS2- please?  ;)

you asked for it :p

  • xbox CPU is 733mhz, ps2 is only 300mhz
  • xbox has twice the amount of ram (64mb instead of 32mb)
  • xbox GPU is 233mhz, ps2 is 150mhz
  • xbox memory bandwidth is twice as much (6.4GB per sec compared to 3.2GB per sec)
  • xbox can draw four times the amout of polygons per second (300 million compared to 75 million)
  • xbox comes with a hard drive, ethernet, and four controller ports, ps2 just recently got the hard drive and ethernet, and you need to buy a multi tap to get more than 2 players
  • xbox can have 256 audio channels, ps2 is limited to 48
  • xbox has HDTV support, up to 1080i. ps2 has none
  • xbox is capable of surround sound, ps2 is not
  • the xbox is easier to code for than the ps2

also, IMO: xbox games consistently look better than ps2 games. not all of them do, but most look better to me. however, this is a matter of opinion, and we could argue this point to no end...

sources: first results in google for ps2 specs and xbox specs

im happy but i still gotta get a playstation.....

the new final fantasy looks soo good....

i'm a final fantasy fan too, and i have a ps2 specifically for them :) but most of the other games i like are on xbox...

as for final fantasy looking good, i don't like ff11, and ffx-2 seems to be turning into a "hot chicks" game. i like ff 6-9, and 4 & 5 are kinda fun and nostalgic, but the others don't interest me that much anymore :/

the only thing i'd want a gamecube for is super monkey ball :rofl: and maybe mario party or something, but nothing big...

tru but the graphics look nice.....

i still haven't played X...

i dunno about 11 but i always liked the storylines especially the ones from 7 - 9 and nintendo ones....

yea and mario kart from gamecube...!!!....its more a play with other ppl system

but yea ic what u mean also...

Please don't turn this into a Console X is better than Console Y thread.

the convo wasn't even going in that direction so i dunno where ur coming from.... :rolleyes:

gameguy gave the specs of both the systems and pointed out that xbox is better in hardware

and i just said that it also depends on what type of games u like and to go w/ that...

I still dont see any solid source, I hardly see costco working for Microsoft :rolleyes:

Nothing has been comfirmed or released by Bungie and 4/4/2004 is a Sunday so that date is definately bogus, sorry guys but this isnt true

Yep. There's no confirmation even on the Bungie site, so I think it is false :D

i was rather disappointed with ffx. i mean, it had its fun parts like everything else (blitzball, what else... dunno :unsure:) but the voices were too different from a ff game for me, and i think they could have done better with the character models...

<rant> to hell with microsoft and their pos X-box. What good is a FPS without a keyboard and mouse?!?!? And the Framerape!!</rant> Halo was good though.......on PC. It would be even better if they'd realease it for PC and X-box at the same time, getting buyers from both areas. But no....can't do that.....Windows costs more than an X-box but they want all your money so they'll make you get both. :angry:

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
