Dc vs. Px2

So anyways I was in the chat room over at a pretty nifty site www.metalgear.net, chatting it up with the webmaster, Leo, Coole, and some random Newbie. When the conversation turns to well, the playstation 2. ( mind the spelling. it is a chat room. )

<Gaurd> playstation 2 will be good

<Gaurd> I know a lot about the specs

<coole> how do u know if u havn't played it

<Gaurd> rumors

<coole> specs and rumers tell u nothin

<Gaurd> I think you find they do

<coole> you have to actually play to know what it's like

<MGS> I love it when people say PSX2 will rock even though they have no idea.

<coole> well i don't

<coole> i know

<Gaurd> Ive seen what the leading programmers expect and i do know what sony have released about the psx 2

<coole> okay everyone said N64 will rock .....look where it's goin

<MGS> "PSX2 will kill the DC, but I really don't have any back-up for it really". LOL

<coole> i have seen the specs for PSX2 and I think I wll kill every system but I do not KNOW

<Derob> some are

<Derob> but that is not the point

<Derob> The specs for the Psx2 is amazing

<Derob> but the Dreamcast is still a new system

<Derob> meaning that it will take a year or so until the great games get released

<Derob> If we all remeber Donkey Kong Country is better than some 1st generation titles

<Derob> for the Playstation

<Derob> It is not power that decides a game

<Derob> but instead the knowledge of how to use this power.

<Derob> Mgs Was created with the past knowledge of 3 years of using the Psx

<Gaurd> I think you will find that besides Japan England has a large range of companies in it

<Gaurd> For example Rare and Eidos

<Derob> Eidos sucks

<MGS> Eidos sucks

<Derob> they haven't made a good game in year

<coole> yeah I'll have to agree Eidos sucks

Any ways I was distracted Midrant and actually (for once ) made an excellent point. The Dreamcast will overwhelm the early PSX games. It will make them look bad for the simple fact that programmers will have over a year to prepare and figure out their system. If you look at the current Dreamcast games you will see that they are focusing on graphics and all their news toys, modem play, VMs and rumble pack. Few of these games are fun to play, Sonic Adventure and VF3tb being two of the exceptions, but each has graphics which amaze even the most jaded eye. And once that is handled the amazing games will follow. No matter what things the PSx2 can achieve, if gameplay is not a major focus, their early games will fail. Period. ( Eidos still sucks )
