Bethesda with a surprise announcement of The Elder Scrolls IV.

Xbox 2 specs would be nice too.

I just got my PSM 100% mag. and there are new screens for MGS3, and a whole list of what you can do in it, and I must say that now my attention is on MGS3 now.

I would also like to see what is the deal with HL2, one of my x-box friends says that HL2 for x-box will come out first, and he is really convinced about it to, just because his x-box mag said so, any truth to this (I dont think so, in fact I think hes a moron)?

OHH and Halo 2, it was delayed (big surprise), and I would like to see the master chief in action again.

I don't see how the xbox with a graphics processor from 3 generations ago is going to be able to run HL2 without a big drop in the eye candy. Seems unlikely to me that it will be out on xBox first, but that's just a guess.

HL2 on X-Box won't have a mod community, so I doubt it would come out first. Unless Valve has some sort of trick up their sleeves... [addsig]

I would think that HL2, if A) it comes out at all and B) comes out on consoles it would be on the Xbox first. It is the closest to a real computer, after all. However, there's no way HL2 would be released for Xbox first over the computer, since the only reason HL was such a lasting success was the modding community.

As for E3, I expect nothing, so I will be pleasantly surprised by whatever happens.

HL2 is only coming out on the Xbox out of the current consoles, though they mentioned it may be put out on the sequel consoles to the PS2 and GC if it was appropriate at the time. I personally think the release times will be close together, like with Deus Ex 2. [addsig]

AMD64; 3.5GHz!!!


I read an article in Linux format recently where they shoved an AMD64 processor in a machine and ran Mandrake 9.2 64-bit edition on it and benchmarked it. The speed was actually 5.67GHz! I think they might want to use a 64-bit OS...


And? Makes sense since the memory chunk size is 64, yet it still optimises 32-bit code (Eat that Itanium!)

Gorb, I totally forgot about Silent Hill 4!! Thanks for the reminder.

Reno, I said it the first time I said I loved Sega hardware. It's more efficient with instructions and power. The reason why the Dreamcast sounds so loud is because there's barely any fan noise to cover the sound. With the PS2 Fan noise is all you hear.

Also, taking that the Saturn was almost a year older then the PSone, Sony had a nice blueprint of what they had to surpass in almost every area. However, if you look at the specs you'll see that they just incresed the registers for the video and the palette size for the colors. Other then that a Saturn and Playstation (disregarding the actual achitecture and programming languages used) they're the same machine. [addsig]

All I know is my flatmate complains about the noise of the Dreamcast if I'm playing it with the TV muted when he is in bed, but he's never noticed the PS2 Seriously though, whatever the reason for it sounding louder, the fact it DOES sound louder is the problem.

I know little of the Saturn's internal architecture, so I won't doubt you - I just recall reading about how 3D support was essentially a tacked on feature. The truth behind this I've no idea. [addsig]

Not nessesarily. The PS2 could be louder, but with a constant sound. The Dreamcast is by no means constant. It's kind of like falling asleep when someone is playing a console game nearby, all you can hear is them pressing the buttons because it's the one sound in the room that isn't constant.

The actual level of the noise is arguable ... and I don't have a dB device so I can't measure them :

Like I said though, the Saturn is made for 2D games. The 3D stuff was/is pretty flakey (kind of like suped up SNES graphics) ... but it worked just as well as the PSX except that the PSX was faster (in 3D) and had more colors.

But then again ... I tend to play my Saturn more then my Playstation [addsig]

Don't you see, it doesn't matter Crono! I care not which has a higher dB output!The dreamcast is more noticeable in terms of sound output than the PS2, will that do?!

Anyway, something I had forgotten about but just went for a new check on - FFVII: Advent Children. Turns out some new screens have been released - including pictures of Tifa and....THE TURKS! Woohoo, I'm a happy chappy! If you are interested, check them out here...

http://www.adventchildren.net/ff7ac/media/screens.htm

Fingers crossed a new trailer will come out during E3 with footage of these in action, since they did say more info would be released during E3. [addsig]

Sure, why not.

However, please realize, you're talking about frequency (or rather consistency of the noises) and not amplitude (loudness), there's a difference [addsig]
