With the power of an upgraded forum system, I have expanded version 2.0 of the the All Time Gaming Platform poll to include a couple of new options and three different areas of choice!

I have made modifications to the poll options, and removed the Commodore 64 and Atari Jaguar as they were not popular options on the last poll. I was tempted to remove the Game Boy line from the poll considering it had less than ten votes on the previous poll, but it's a big item in the portable world.

Once again, vote away!

ps3/ps2/psone

btw im not a fanboy I just like whats good, and if you ask me, the Personal computer shouldn't be in the poll. I would have voted for atari jaguar if it would have been in the poll that system was awsome, way ahead of its time.

There were only a few votes on that last time. Not going to happen. And PC is a gaming platform, so it stays.

how can you pick next generation when only Xbox360 and PC are the only items out right now?

It's called your "personal opinion" :p

Blasphemy!

I can't choose between Sega Saturn and Nintendo Game Boy (Original/Classic). :pinch:

Why is Sega Saturn and Sega Genesis in the same option? Saturn was a piece of crap but Genesis is my absolute favorite all time system, and I think lots of people would agree... If you put the NES and SNES in different fields, Sega stuff should be separate... Atleast Sega Genesis / CD / 32X, and Sega Saturn separate :(

i say the poll needs to be redone. snes and genesis shouldnt be in the same category as ps, sega saturn, and n64. divide it by actual generations of technology versus 1985-2000, 2001-2004, and 2005+.

snes, pc, n/a.

Don't you think I would had if I had the option? The forum allows three questions and ten answers per question.

I know, I just felt the need to voice my opinion, :D I understand that I am out numbered here. But damn it, my opinion is always right :shifty: :whistle:

Seriously, if anyone actually seriously votes for the Xbox as an all time best gaming platform, either it was your first and only gaming system or well ... hell I dunno lol. I feel sorry for you though.

Easily the Playstation 1. Such classics like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen, Final Fantasy VII, Star Ocean: The 2nd Story, Parappa the Rapper, Twisted Metal 2, Tekken 3, Suikoden, FF Collection, Valkrie Profile, Final Fantasy Tactics, Gran Turismo 2, Collin Mcrally, Die Hard Trilogy, Time Crisis 2, Armored Core, Colony Wars, Breath of Fire III, Bushido Blade, Tobal #1, Super Puzzle Fighter, Resident Evil II, Tomb Raider ( it used to be good! real freakin good ), Die Hard Trilogy, Driver, Dragon Quest VII, Einhander, Jet Moto I - II, Legend of Dragoon, Grandia, Lunar: Silver Star Story, MDK, Medal of Honor, Metal Gear Solid, OddWorld Oddysee and Exodus, Ogre Battle, Rally Cross, RayStorm, RC Chopper, Return Fire, Ridge Racer Type 4, R-Type Delta, Soul Blade, Syphon Filter, Syndicate Wars, Vandal Hearts, Worms: Armageddon, etc.

The list of just amazing games on the Playstation and incredibly long and varied. From numerous dozens of franchise starters to games that brought another franchise in and helped it take off to a new level. Nothing in my long history of gaming quite compared to the trully MASSIVE number of insanely good games on the Playstation.

Next gen I like Revolution, I think the controller is actually taking a step towards more realistic games without focusing on pure graphics.

Currently I prefer the PC, I have an Xbox with three games, PGR2, Madden, and ESPN2k5, and while I only got it last year (for $20 since the kid thought it was broken, though it does work...most of the time :p) I do play it a lot. The Xbox is great for short 15-20 minute sessions of PGR2 or a quick game of Madden, but for extended periods PC Gaming is where its at for me (Read WCIII/CS:S/HL2).

The previous gen was the toughest decision. There were three contenders, NES, Genesis, and N64. I voted N64 because I felt the games had that perfect level of complexity and the 3D worlds really brought a whole new level of gaming enjoyment for me. It was close though Genesis had classics like Sonic 2 which must have wasted like 1/6 of my life, and NES was great, I remember playing games of Mario, Mario 3, Duckhunt when I was 5 with my dad. I guess I gave N64 the benefit of the doubt because I figured the other 2 would be more nostalgia picks, and I have only played one console game since Mario 64 that comes close to its quality and that is God of War (and yes I have played Halo/Halo2, and yes they sucked compared to both GOW and Mario 64).

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
    • I remember when Louis used to just do interesting Mac/iPhone repairs, now he's boring and just launches "crusades" every week

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
