I'm still waiting to see an xbox360 or whatever new comes out on a nice high def TV set... all old consoles just look like crap to me, since i'm used to the higher resolutions of PC games...

gameplay is good on some console games, but having good graphics is still important, and 640x480 on a TV doesn't cut it...

seeing as you can't vote for more then one in 'Previous Generation(s)'

i chose the N64 but otherwise i would have picked the snes, n64 and dc.

for current generation i picked personal computer because of the veriety you can get

but i could have picked the ps2 and xbox aswell if i could because i like them both,

although i don't actually own a xbox (:()

and for the next generation i picked the revolution because i think that

is the only true 'next-gen' console with the different idea's they are

trying to pull off, but i also very greatly like the 360, but i'm not

too sure about the ps3 just yet.

and yes i know how its best all time, but i really like alot of the consoles listed there >.<

Rev/DS/N64 :D

I have a PS2 and it's great too, mainly because of DVD playback support out of the box and a very wide selection of games, but I picked DS almost on impulse because it's got so much of a fun factor and innovation. And the Nintendo Revolution looks great too :)

I voted Nintendo Revolution / Nintendo DS / Nintendo Entertainment System

No doubt, I was born and raised Nintendo.

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, etc.

I cut out A LOT first of all :pinch: ...Second, I could go about naming a bunch of games from NES or N64 that simply revolutionized the gaming world. Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong...They're ALL still in the new games, which makes you think, doesn't it :blink: ? Nintendo has been sticking to the SAME characters for over 20 years, and look, they are at the top of the gaming industry. I'm sorry if I am ranting, but for God's sake, Super Mario Bros. was the beginning! The birth of gaming :woot: ! I think all the credit of best gaming platform should go to an older system like NES or N64. Without them, none of the systems now wouldn't even be known to man.

and blah blah lol. Hell, its pretty close but hmmmm ... the playstations have definately given me TONS of great gaming classics but I think with the new classics like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, the incredible DQVIII and many other titles the PS2 wins the best overall gaming machine in my personal opinion. Then the PS1 and then the SNES.

Super Nintendo .. those were the days ... good damn do we need to get some nice 2D games back, Super Mario World, Zelda: A Link to the past, Chrono Trigger ... only if publishers weren't obessed with good graphics these days they'd realize a nice 2D would sell well

I can only predict that the PS3 will be better than the horrible XBOX, and very promising Revolution. As it will keep the same 3d party support I assume. I can't say anything else about that.

Currently, PS2 gets my vote. I hate most of the PC games out now, nothing going for it at all. PS2 is better than XBOX, and Gamecube put together, for one simple reason: I'm an RPG fanboy.

SNES wins the all time console award. It beats everything current, and probably in the future combined. Here's the reason: Best FF ever (6), Chrono Trigger, SD3, Romancing Saga III, ToP, Tactics Ogre, Bahamut Lagoon, FFIV, Super Metroid, Zelda III, Earthbound, and the list gets bigger and bigger.

I voted for Xbox 360 as the best next-generation platform (I believe the PS3 is very overhyped and I just can't get excited about the Revolution), the Xbox as the best current-generation platform, and the Nintendo 64 as the best previous-generation plaform (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask! :D).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
