Why not consolidate?

Conker on Xbox Live meets my definition of "cool"...

 

[Chris Duran]

So far I'm kind of disappointed in Rare, and wondering if Microsoft made the right decision to spend all the bucks on them. The Conker Game sounds cool with multiplayer support on Live, but why couldn't they come up with a new single player game? I don't want the same N64 version I played 2 years ago, come on Rare! The new Grabbed by the Ghoulies game doesn't look to impressive either, hopefully the gameplay will make up for it. Oh and I'm disappointed that Kameo: Elements of Power has been delayed to 2004. And where's Banjo and Perfect Dark? Well at least there are some other killer games coming for the XBOX to look forword to this year.

Well, the Halo 2 playable demo looked incredible. It felt incredible. Best of all, it felt like Halo!

Aside from that, waiting for PS2 Castlevania news (beyond the title), Metroid Prime 2/RE 4/Rogue Squadron III:Rebel Strike news, and any other goodness that might come this way.

The DooM 3 trailer was pretty badass as well.

Take care,
Chuck

"Star Wars: Republic Commando" looks interesting . . . a squad-based combat game set in the "Star Wars" universe for Xbox Live.

Anything with Star Wars'll rock!! C'mon Galaxies!!

 

[James St]

Any word on the booth babes?

 

[Jeff Kleist]

Me, my first drool was the details on Steel Battalion Online

5 on 5 combat, at least a semi-persistant world where clan members can seize territory AND design their own patches. Clan HTF WhooT!

I refer you to Clone Wars...

 

[Dave Bennett]

Good Lord Halo 2 and Doom 3 look AMAZING. I cannot wait to play those games.

 

[Brandon_H]

Yes, and some of us LIKED Clone Wars. Now, if you had mentioned "Rebellion". . .

 

[Brett Hancock]

The new Xbox Live Sports thing looks cool. I don't have a direct link handy right now but basically you can Join leagues, participate in tournaments, and it keeps track of your rankings. NFl Fever 2004, NBA Inside Drive 2004, Links 2004, Top Spin Tennis(this game will rule ), and Amped 2 are all going to have this feature. I'm pretty excited about this.

Has it been mentioned yet that MGS3 is PS2 exclusive?

 

[Brion Lydon]

Any news on any PS2 price drop or any new Dragon Ball games coming out? Thank you.

Brion

 

[Brandon_H]

Nope, first I'd known that MGS3 was PS2 only. Another big third-party score for Sony, I suppose.

 

[Jeff Kleist]

No DragonBall game announced, it will likely be terrible anyway

Sony just announced PlayStation Portable

2.4" caddy encapsulated discs that hold 1.8GB

32 bit(MHz TBA)

480x272 pixel 16:9 backlt screen

USB 2.0 connectivity

Rechargeable battery

No price announced, but it sounds like it's going to have hookups for a car entertainment system as well

 

[Matt<>Broon]

Doom 3 looks just.. Incredible. Sorry, no other word for it.

Nothing else comes close.

 

[Jeff Peake]

Top Spin tennis for Xbox looks amazing.

Online play, compatible with the new Xbox Sports Network, and has Kournikova. What more could you ask for?!

 

[Jason Seaver]

Sony just announced PlayStation Portable

Wow. Although I wonder if maybe there's going to be too much competition in this area - with this, the N-Gage, and the Helix all coming out in the next year-or-so, I doubt any of them will be able to chip away enough market share from Nintendo to survive.

Except the only real competition there is the Sony one.
