velocity3k Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 I have seen this before before but the initial XBox Live video was funny. The one where darkmaster plays crusher and looses and in the end they find out that it is a little girl that is actually crusher. If anyone has a link to this please post it, i really want to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Messiah Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 neo1980, How come Madden NFL 2003 & NFL 2K3 got better reviews for the PS2 version than the Xbox version? (from ign.com) ;) :D Just something fun to think about... you go on & on how Xbox "rules" but there's no good games out for the system. :x Eye candy doesn't equal good game. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at lease you can play... & you don't have to pay $50 a year to play either! :p :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if I get an Xbox with Unreal champioship and the lovely ability to play divx files (well) then I'll be upgrading anyway :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Messiah Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 If you get the PS2 Linux Kit (which I think you said you didn't want to get before-but...), you can download a DivX player for Linux to view DivX files (not sure if there is one out for Linux OS but a suggestion). :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at lease you can play... & you don't have to pay $50 a year to play either! :p :D Well technically it would be possible to play online on the Xbox on 56k with one player, i have monitored the packets sent between the Xbox and the Internet when using Gamespy and if you are not hosting then your upload does not go above 5k. Well where we pay ?50 a year for all games you pay ?10 a month for individual games, i'll let you do the maths. I guess it depends on what you want, either gameplay with no lag (all broadband, XBox) or gameplay with lots of lag (People with 56k's playing wiht people on Broadband, PS2).

Yeah if you have a modded Xbox then you can get the Xbox Media Player and that wil play DivX files and also MPEG, MP3, AVI. When it gets finished it will go opensource and then you can add as many codecs as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The xbox.ign.com editors gave the xbox one a lower score, because it was a straight port of the ps2 game. They think that it should have better graphics. Secondly, xbox is getting two killer football title: NFL Fever, and NFL 2k3, both which are going to sopport online gameplay. And Madden on xbox doesnt even supposrt online gameplay, while the ps3 versions does. Just something EA did because of thier 'partnership' with Sony... just the facts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, Sony was intelligent enough to think about this and they have actually said that narrowband will run just as smooth in a game like the broadband will. Just because the PS2 actually supports dial-up doesn't mean it's going to have "lots of lag." Actually, IMO, this is going to bring more players to the PS2 and actually give us a broader range of people to play with. There's going to be many, many teams out there to play against on Madden 2003.. and I can't wait :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velocity3k Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Narrowband will be as smooh as Broadband, is that a joke?. No matter how high a compression you use 56k's will not be as smooth as Cable or xDSL. And say that someone is one a crappy ISP for their 56k service and they are connecting at 28.8k how will gameplay be affected then, it will not be a smooth match.

sonicvibe Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 sony incorporating a 56k modem in their adapter is a pretty good thing. i'm wondering how many xbox owners out there don't have access to broadband (minus satellite since i heard it stinks). i'd be pretty upset if i couldn't take my xbox online because my area didn't have broadband access yet, whereas my neighbor with his ps2 could be enjoying some online gaming action whether it's smooth or not. i'm not xbox hating or anything, just commenting on sony's broadband adapter :) i have a ps2 and my brother has an xbox and i must say they're both great systems. i shall be picking up an xbox for myself eventually (hopefully the price will go down a lil bit more..maybe around christmas time?)

walters17 Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 NO! No 56k aaaahhh slowness. No... /me runs and hides. I waited a long time to get on cable. And my xbox experience must not be slowed by the dismal 56k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
