You just notice?? :smile:
-
hehe. what was that thing with the dreamcast and windows ce? microsoft is taking over the world!!
-
Just go to Square's message board.
-
Why Joey, these forums are fine as they are.
-
I mean, their comments about X-box.
-
I was pre-ordering my Gamecube last Friday (the day X-Box came out I think)...
Store guy: Do you want an X-Box? We have those in now.
Me: Nope.
Store guy: Good. No one else does either.
Is X-Box doing well at all?
-
The problem with Xbox is lack of good games. (Sadly) the new Shenmue game is coming out on Xbox. It WAS going to be the very LAST game ever produced fro Dreamcast, but Sega and Microsoft agreed to release it for Xbox only. f***ing Microsoft!!)

Shenmue II is out in Europe for the dreamcast :grin: and Japan. Since I have no money my dad is picking it up for christmas along with a US Gamecube :grin:. There is only one person I know that wants an box and even he isnt sure about it anymore after playing DOA3(cr*p), Fusion Frenzy(cr*p), Halo(good), amped(good), PGR(mediocre), Munch(cr*p), Mad dash(ok) and some other game which was also cr*p.
-
Yeah, I found out last night as I was reading my friend's Gamepad mag for December (I think...) and i got really happy when I say "Shenmue 2 - Dreamcast". It means I don't have to buy a F*cking Xbox! YAY!!!

Anyone think Gamecube's gonna get any good games?
The Star Wars game looks pretty cool, Smash Bros. looks cool, the Zelda looks... um... different...
Anyway...
Gamecube is what I'm getting.
-
I dunno, but I'm definatly sold on Super Smash Bros. Melee! That game looks like it totally kicks!
As for the new Zelda... Apparently that's how the creator originally imaged Link & Hyrule looking like. Personally, I like the way he looks in Zelda 64 & Majora's Mask better...

I thought the new Zelda look was kinda dumb at first, but I read that they were working on the cool-looking one that we saw when we first saw Gamecube a year or so ago, and they said that game was turning out a lot like Ocarina of Time.
Think about it..... it probably would end up with the same feel and style? They said they wanted to do something different... and this is it. They also said they might still work on that game after the "cartoon" one is released.
-
Well, I'll say I certainly wasn't impressed with the new style for link, but I'll give the game a shot.
-
It's one of Bill's plans for world domination.
-
I played both the gamecube and the xbox at the local sam goody. both of them are much better than the ps2. The xbox has a great lineup of games, and i actually prefer the controller to the gamcube or dual shock. Its big and comfortable. yes, I do hve extremely large hands.
-
Yeah I heard the X-Box controller was kinda hard to use for people with small hands.
-
I have a Gamecube and Star Wars. It's awesome. The controller is perfect. Well worth the money.
-
i like the 'A' button on the gamecube controller, and the joystick C pad. Ingenious design, not as comfortable as the xbox controller though. If you have small hands, you can always get the japanese version.
-
I played a few Xbox gmes thought they were ok apart from Halo which was good. I'm getting a cube for christmas too :smile:
The cartoony Zelda is what I imagined Hyrule to be like, however link just looks stupid.
-
Hmm... I really haven't seen a lot of pictures of Hyrule... Only Link with his huge head and girly eyes...

hehe link looked more like a woman in the version they presented at e3 a while ago. The cartoon is a good idea.
-
Darkness: As McEnroe would say "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS". I really loved the first two zeldas but this one looks an absoulute pile of sh*te. Nearly every Nintendo fan agrees......

I'm a Zelda fan, and I think it was a VERY bad idea to make him look like this, especially after showing those other "better" screen shots.
OTOH, I've hear that as the game progresses, Link will mature into a fully grown Anime man, which could be where those other pics came from...

i just think the initial plans for zelda gamecube were horrible. It also shows that modern consoles can do more than just shape polygons.
[edited] 249 2001-11-29 23:49
-
Actually, the more I think of it, the more I kinda like the cartoon idea. I just don't like the way Link looks (he's too girly).
-
hehe thats what bugged me about their original idea
EDIT: Whoops. Already said that.

Heh . . . the X-Box becomes more and more like a PC every day:

-
i know...... isn't it wonderful? a cheap pc with great graphics.
-
woh.... the other day i wa like "wouldnt it be great to run apache on the dreamcast?" damnit! its so hard to decide on a console!
-
If anyone has played A link to the past on the Snes you'll know that the new Zelda game looks very similar to that(apart from link who in that game has red hair).
-
Yeah, I kind of noticed that. I was actually comparing him to the original Legend of Zelda game. They look very similar, but your right. I think he does look a bit more LTTPish than he does LOZish.

I got a chance to play the Star Wars game on the Gamecube yesterday, and all I have to say is...
...cool.
-
How good is it? I have a copy downstairs but no cube!!! :mad:
-
LTTP?
m0t-> thats gotta suck
-
LTTP= Link To The Past, the snes Zelda best one IMHO.
Yeah it does, DVDBoxoffice havent shipped the cube yet because they wish to die from my wrath :wink:
-
hehe i was like 'LTTP......HTTP? whaaa???" hehe i like your new avatar thing.
-
Heh oh yeah its cool. The graphics are pretty dang good and the game is good too. Plus its pretty hard after the first few levels.
-
I didn't get a chance to play anything other than Luigi's Mansion cause my friend was here to work. (Speaking of which, I need to finish that project for tomorrow... shouldn't take too long...)

What well known games are coing out for gamecube? i havent heard of many yet.
-
cube.ign.com has a preview/review list that I like to look at to see what's coming up.
I plan on getting the Star Wars, Smash Bros. (oh come on, Smash Bros. is just awesome), and the Zelda, and whatever else comes by that looks good :razz:
-
i played that game WAAAYY too much. damnit.... i have a sudden urge to play it again.
-
Well... haha... the new one looks awesome.
-
i havent seen any screenshots yet, but if its anywhere near as good as the first one, ill look into getting a gamecube by 2003 or so (when ill be able to afford it after i get a ps2)
-
Heh... SSB Melee looks TOTALLY AWESOME from the screenshots I've seen from it!
I've also heard that the gamecube's Rogue Squadren 2 has actual bumpmaps on their models! That's so cool, and makes it look a helluva lot better!

Not only that but all the junk has so many polygons in it that there's no way you can see the polygons in most cases..... very nice lighting effects, and almost always 60 fps.
Whoo!
-
you must be able to see the polygons.... otherwise, its just not right....
-
Well, I really meant that there's so many you can't pick out individual ones.
-
yah, i knew what you meant. but its still just not right....
-
Gwa ha. My Gamecube came in yesterday.
Too bad I can't use it until this weekend.
-
parents? lack of av cables? no memory card?
-
My friend got SSB Melee yesterday. (I think... It was due in Yesterday, and he was going to the store after school.)
I need a job so I can get a Game Cube, and Upgraded Computer, and my own PS2 along with a copy of FFX.
*Sigh...*

im looking into getting a job at a coffee shop about a block away. I think its like 7.50 an hour or something. free coffee, tho.
-
Rogue Leader on Gamecube has TONS of polygons. The Star Destroyer model is 130,000 polyons alone. Just listen to the audio commentary that you can unlock. Plus the video documentary also on the disc.
-
Darkness: I will have a mem card. The A/V cable situation is kinda interesting - I won't be using the Gamecube A/V cables but this other one that my dad and I made that has A/V and RF output (so I can hook the Gamecube / N64 / SNES to my old TV and Stereo at the same time). Anyway, I already have that.
The thing is, my parents won't let me play games on school days. So I can play it Friday night though.
And I work at a computer place (FUN!) for $7.00 an hour so that's cool.
-
i was planning on doing that too (that was my first choice for a job) at a lan gaming place. They asked me to send a resume, but i came back a week later an they said i had to be 18. damned adults :evil: anyway, i spend about 40 dollars there a month, but it would be nicer if i worked there, eat candy, drink coffee, and play while making money....
