Total Posts: 2486 | yeah, you're prolly right B. it's absolutely ridiculous how much WC3 costs. and yes, with current technology it's possible to create awesome 3D RTS games. also, RTS's play like crap on consoles... even with keyboard and mouse, playing on 640x480 screen res sux.

Total Posts: 1676 | well... i don't know if a 3D RTS would be that great... if it's "worth" making it 3D it'll have to zoom in a lot... but that'd definitely be something new... especially if it's a 3D terrain

Total Posts: 2486 | yes, some games do use DVD's. that's why there aren't any multi-disc games. actually, there are some PC games that come on DVD too, like Myst 3:Exile for instance. as with 3D RTS, WC3 and Dune for PC have really good camera angles and play just as well as older isometric games, if not better...but some games have absolutely inferior camera and give you a bad thoughts about 3D RTS. i don't like xbox cuz it always hangs up since it runs on windoze. ps2 also hangs up a lot, but game cube never. unfortunatrly, most games on gamecube are kid games and they still don't have a very high polycount and look a bit edgy. but game cube game look very nice. as with xbox Halo, i dunno why people think its such a great game cuz i had really bad experience with it and Bungie software made a terrible impression on me when i tried Oni...uh oh, i'll end my flames here. >;0

Anyways, its just to enhance the story for when they do starcraft 2, and build upon some new characters to focus on. I think it will be a fun game; setting off nukes in 3D and putting lockdown on dragoons in 3d, parading against zerglings with that warf-like blade seems pretty cool too. Sure, adventure has been done; and Zelda:LTTP is the best action-RPG to date, but it's still gonna be pretty sweet. I think is game that allows the most creativity possible (from what they say) such as GTA3 did. Nintendo GC has lower poly counts and lower sound abilities. plus they make you upgrade the console for broadband play. I love Smash-bros. melee but I'll just go to my friends to play one game. And, yes. Oni did disapoint.
As for where I stand on Halo for the X-Box. Its not my favorite game (Blood Omen 2 and Simpson's raod rage are mine ;-) for the x-box) its still got good singleplayer. However, ITS MULTIPLAYER IS HORRIBLE!!! I first played the game in multiplayer and I was highly disapointed; but its single player will hold me off.... just don't think its worth forking over $50 like i did. Rent it for a week or two instead. Its definitely worth trying; just not $50 as I said earlier. |

Total Posts: 2486 | yeah, i'd love to see SC in 3D, but i'm afraid they'll just ruin the game. but hey, we never know till they actually make it and it'll take them a while. (SC took Blizzard over two years to make) oh, Halo lags xbox a lot. especially when you fly a hovercraft. PC's are the way to go from my point of view, gamecube is okay though. erm...one more thing, it sux that console games are so darn expensive and don't drop in price like PC games. ehh (btw, blood omen 2 is nice. DOA3 is okay, but characters look like they're made out of rubber though...)

Total Posts: 260 | I got DOA3, and some of the people in single-player mode are impossible to beat. its multiplayer is its strong point. I just think its made for the people on the commercial... "She kicks high." I mean what the heck was microsoft thinking with that?! ah well.
I hope 3D won't ruin Starcraft:Ghost too; and hope it just gives us an interesting, new perspective. |
