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

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:

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
