Who's getting an XBOX (1 Viewer)

[BrianB]

The PS2 has better games TODAY. However, let's see what the XBox can do a year from now.

Deja vu! I said almost exactly that this time last year in the run up to the PS2 launch, talking about the Dreamcast/PS2 "battle".

Mike G - SSX Tricky has the DTS audio.
It's terrible, from what I've read. Doesn't work very well or the encoders didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Second, I have a friend who has THPS3 and I can't get him to shut up about it.

I think the reason why developers don't change gameplay that much for DOA3 (and 3d fighters in general) is that they have it right. For some of us, even the best games have little issues (e.g., running or sidestepping being implemented poorly), but in general, developers have figured out how to do decent gameplay on the better 3d fighters like the DOA series.
So if it ain't broke...?

Look at the games, and decide for yourself. That was the main reason I'm ignoring the GameCube.

Thats the same reason I'm skipping the XB for now.
Even if the XB catches up with the PS2 game wise a year from now, the PS2 (unlike the DC) will not die.
I would rather have a lot of good games right now in just surround than two good games right now with DD5.1, which is a good thing for the PS2.
SSX Tricky is the first PS2 game with real-time DTS so I suggest we give them a break. Has anyone here actually heard it or heard of reviews of it on a good setup?

Mogan,
The reviews of the DTS on SSX Tricky are pretty dismal. I think I read in the Home Theater Software forum that the center channel was silent. I don't know where I read it exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was here on HTF.

It was I who posted about DTS 4.1 on SSX Tricky. No center channel. Also, the game in general just sounds like muck.
But it was a first try. I guess someone has to be first.

(who can't imagine a game that would benefit from the expanded bit rate of DTS, since most video game sounds are compressed to hell anyway)

Even so, while that may suck, its still their first try.
Is the game even finished?

 

[Brian Lawrence]

I had one on pre-order from ebworld.com but but called up and cancelled it a couple of days ago. I just can't get myself exited about this one.

 

[Derrik Draven]

Is the game even finished?

Well, I sure as hell hope so; it's for sale...?!!?

Its ready for sale? Why haven't I seen any ads? Thats weird...

 

[Joel Mack]

SSX Tricky is indeed out for PS2.
Very low-key release.

Has anyone heard about how the audio will be handled on the XBOX version of SSX Tricky?
