Next gen videogames

[SuperSwede]

I dont know if you guys are into videogames. Does anyone consider buying one of the next generation of videogames (Xbox360, PS3, Wii) ? I had a Xbox before, but I think that the Nintendo Wii with its ultra cool controller will be amazing. The Wii will not be up to par with the other hardware wise, but its playability will probably be higher! And all old nintendo games will be downloadable via internet from Nintendo.. oh Ice Clamber & Excite Bike

I'm a gamer geek my friend. PC and PS2. I really would like a next generation hand held unit once it comes out. PSP is cool but like pedals, maybe there's one better out there somewhere.

I play tons of War games. Medal of Honor, Socom, Marine Sniper etc. I live vicariously through those games while emptying my daily frustrations out safely on those battlefields! Tell me more about the Nintendo Wii.....

I have also considered the Wii, the PS3 doesn't look very promising because I have yet to see any great new features, even the controller looks the same. Since the Wii also allows downloading old Nintendo games it really wants to be bought, besides I can't pass up some of my favourite game series that seem to be only out on Nintendo consoles. Its gonna be hard to decide since I also need a new PC very soon.

Hey, Tone, are you into other FPS games besides the war titles? I've enjoyed the various FPS's on the PC since the original Doom. Games like Descent, Serious Sam, Max Payne, Half Life, Far Cry, Painkiller, all the Doom/Quake series, Unreal/UT, No One Lives Forever, and many more. My favorite war-based FPS is Call of Duty. But haven't played hardly at all since "rediscovering" the guitar late last year! Only so many hours in a day....

Max Payne is cool. I never really got into Doom I dunno why.

I am a Tombraider world champion thank you very much. *bows* I can play Tombraider in my sleep. I love that game. I love Lara Croft. They have a new game engine now that is far superior to their old ones and the gameplay is way cool. The old games had really good levels though...just crappy game engines.

I am also a Metal Gear geek. THIS is my favorite first person action game EVER. I love espionage games and this one is one of the best.

I played the original Unreal a lot, Quake II as well. But I havent played much FPS games lately. I like slower shooters like Splinter Cell. Strategy games / War games like Civilization, Command & Conquer and Starcraft is more my bag.

Tone, The Wii controller has 3x motion detectors. So if a game features say a swordfight, you will hold the controller like a sword and the game will act very precise to your movements.. En Garde!
Also, games like tennis and golf (Not to mention the amazing fishing game!) will be awesome with this technology!

Oh yeah as for PC stuff I also forgot to mention Starcraft too! Cept I still get killed on the very end of the Zerg missions. Dang Zerg anyway. I'd love to snipe them all one at a time with the M82A1. What about the "newer" Warcraft SS you ever play that? I tried Diablo but it was kinda hokey.

I'm a fisherman but every fishing game I've tried was boring. Maybe this new technology will make those game cooler.

[SuperSwede]

Diablo.. well I dont understand the click´n´slash genre at all. I thought Warcraft III was quite good, but I dont have the time to play online games as WoW.
I used to pick sniper every time I played Wolfenstein ET (great free online ww2 shooter).
Have you tried Command & Conquer Generals/Zero Hour ? A really nice game in the same spirit as Starcraft.

Command and Conquer Generals/Zero Hour eh? I will try it because I'm really bored with losing to all those Zerg Lurkers already. hahaha

[SuperSwede]

Do that, you wont be disappointed.

Apparently, the video game war has already started!

I, myself, am guilt of playing entirely too much WoW (World of Warcraft). It is incredibly involving and as my first real MMOG, I think what most surprised me was that the game itself doesn't keep you going its the relationships with real people that you meet along the way.

[SuperSwede]

I have no problems understanding that, I have played a couple of online rpg´s before (ultima online among others) so I know how time consuming it is. Looks like lot of fun though....but I´m not allowing myself to try

[Cranium]

MMORPG games are fun, I remember when I used to play Everquest I didn't even eat all day, I'm happy I stopped because it was an addiction, I played WoW and its not really so fun in my opinion, how old are you guys by the way?

Here's a little music to go with your video game.

Now that guitar sound was a retro lo-fi experience.. I wonder how he makes a fender amp sound so crappy!

Yeah.. Ninten..oh I mean Boss should make a 8-bit pedal for those low end sounds.

They already do. It's called a Zoom.


Ooo. I'm in trouble now.
