I'm suprised that they are showing Before Crisis and Front Mission Online. You not being suprised of their line-up only means that you're not used to them showing what they show every year, like well; every year.

Front Mission Online should be cool, but Before Crises....

I can't really get hyped about it because I really did not like Final Fantasy VII. Other than that, I would like to see the Radiata Stories and the Romancing Saga. I don't know why I want to see Romancing Saga, I keep thinking they will actually make a good Saga game for once. That is part of the Saga series is it not? Nothing too special in my opinion.

Post by **Malvado** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 5:48 pm

Anything Front Mission is enough for me. Yes Romancing Saga is part of the "Saga" series which fell flat on it's face with Unlimited(just like FF). Romancing has a bard, so with that it can only be good.

Not into the whole FF7 complilation thing, huh? Well I don't blame you since I'm not looking that forward to Before Crisis just shocked that they are showing it. It seemed like they weren't going to think about releasing it till another year or two.

Dirge isn't on my mind but I'm really wondering what they are going to show with Kingdom Hearts 2(lots of new pictures have been released of late), Final Fantasy 12(last year it was playable this year can only mean more and maybe "english" voices), and the Advent Children movie(english site is up, and there has been 6 or so trailers).

That is what I thought, so that is probably gonna suck. But I still want to see if it has any hope.

As for Final Fantasy VII. I was never fond of the game in the first place, and now it is just ridiculous with all of the side releases. Talk about beating a dead horse.

X-Box 360 update.

Is this the real deal?

Post by **Libaax** » Sat May 07, 2005 9:00 pm

Its to ugly to be real and its Microsoft we are talking who are the king of ugly designs

So it probably not a fake.

Post by **Femto** » Sun May 08, 2005 3:29 pm

It's the real deal it seems. The pictures I posted before seems to have been leaked from that MTV show where the X-Box is supposed to be unveiled. Two more pics have surfaced from the show, one of an ugly ass controller and another of the supposed X-Box remote.

Wasn't Microsoft trying to make a pretty looking console to appeal to the japanese market? If so, then they failed miserably.

Things can change looks, the first version of the ds was shown at E3 last year and they changed its look for the release.

Post by **Femto** » Sun May 08, 2005 4:35 pm

True, I remember how ugly the DS' design was back then but remember, the X-Box 360 is supposed to come out around October already. That leaves them little time to do any major design changes needed to make this console look decent. The fact that they're already unveiling this console on that MTV show means that it's probably their finalized design too and I'm pretty sure microsucks is stupid enough to think that this design is pretty. I don't think they'll push the release date back either, because they ARE losing money on each X-Box sold and that's why they are rushing to release this new X-Box.

My prediction is, the X-Box 360 will put microsucks out of the gaming race permanently. We'll see what happens.

It does not look that bad Femto. But I am woried about the ergonomics of the controller. Besides, a lot of consoles are ugly as all hell when I really think about.

tell me about it, remember the jaguar???

The PS2 is purty, specially the new slim one, so is the Gamecube IMO. The Neo-Geo is just plain beautiful too. Some consoles aren't necessarily nice looking, but they aren't bad looking either. The SNES works, the N64 was alright, but the X-Box and this new X-Box are just plain ugly as far as I'm concerned. What's up with the controller?

Post by **Eldo** » Tue May 10, 2005 3:02 am

Sorry, but the Xbox controller looks shit. They've had a controller issue before when the Xbox was first released. I'm not impressed.

Post by **halfnhalf** » Tue May 10, 2005 3:54 am

PS2 controller is godlike.... come mircosoft... i know you want to copy the ps2 controller, no one will blame you if you do...

no why they goign back to the big size?? i thought they learned... only shaq can play with them... just stick with the s-type and an actually usuable d-pad...

I can't say that I think the PS2 is all that purty, it looks like a beta max or something. The slim one is on fire though.
