i felt this needed to be done. to bring all of our collective thoughts and discussions about the gaming world into one place.

i'd like to start out with this teaser trailer clip for Team Fortress 2. i'm a big fan of Team Fortress Classic, and it's on my top 3 most played Half-Life mods list. definitely looking forward to it's release. i just hope to god they don't charge for it like they did Day of Defeat: Source. that would be so wrong. check out the clip, it's really great looking.

That looks pretty bad ass. Have you had a chance to check out Prey, Norm?
 
i heard of it, know nothing about it. i really gotta go check it out on FilePlanet

yall see the Unreal Tournament 2007 and Halo 3 trailers i hope?
 
I loved team fortress and this one looks great. Halo 3 and UT2007 look amazing, I can't wait to get UT for the PC. Games I am most looking forward to are FEAR: Extraction Point, Medieval 2: Total War and God of War 2
 
Oh yes, of course. Dying for the Halo 3 to come out. If you like Doom you really need to check out Prey. It has some pretty crazy stuff in it. Get to walk upside down in rooms and stuff. All of your weapons are alive as well. Craziness. xD But yeah, check it out sometime definitely worth it. I'm still waiting for like one of the greatest 360 games to come out ever.... Damn date is too far away... xD But yes, Dead Rising is going to pwn for the 360. ^_^
 
OH yeah, Halo 3. *Dont have an xbox* 🙁 Oh well, got a PC for Halo 2...when that finally comes out for it! 😛

Um...next game on list....Zeldaaaaa! 😀
 
You know you're gonna have to use that new Microsoft Vista to play Halo 2 on the PC, right? Or so that's what the computer guy at work says. -.-;;

:wooha: awww....crapp.....
 
I'm looking forwards to vista myself. Finally I get to use this 64bit CPU that I bought properly 😀 .
 
That, and Bill Gates is done with Microsoft as of 2008. I dunno if that will have an impact on Vista coming out or not. He's gonna be doing full time with those fund raisers and stuff he's been doing. The education thing or whatever it was. ^_^;;
 
From what I've heard Vista got pushed back yet again to (I think) late '07. If you need Vista for Halo 2, that's a long time to have to wait for a PC port. 😵
 
^Bah, if it's already been this long and no PC Halo 2, I'd just not bother with it. But that's just me.

And I'm thinking about buying a Cube for the new Zelda, depending on if it's THAT good or not.
 
I know somebody who went to E3. He said it was truly amazing. He also said if you loved Orcarina of Time then Twilight is a must own. I plan on getting a Wii anyways just because you can get oldschool games on it. Well that, and the Wii has a nice little lineup going. Super Smash Bros Brawl is gonna be a classic. Specially since they finally added Snake to the roster.
 
I'd buy a Wii just for Red Steel, but thats just me. That new Mario for it looks amazing as well.
 
I too may consider getting a Wii, but probably not before getting a PS3 at least (MGS4 FTW!). However, as stated in my last post, I do plan on at least buying a Gamecube so I can play TP. I could get it pretty cheap, and it does have some good games, right? 😛

Oh, and I just wanna mention that, after a nice online debate on the villains of FF last night, I've come to a conclusion. One that I should have come to a long time ago, but for some reason never realized. The villains of FF....aren't really all that great! I mean, I hear dozens of people say Sephiroth is the best FF villain, but in truth, does he really have THAT much competition? NO, not really.

The only villain to really have a chance of being considered better than Sephiroth is Kefka. The villains from the first three are mediocre (which is to be expected). Zeromus (VI) was typical. X-Death (V) was as well, though a bit more developed and less typical.

Kekfa (VI) was great, and really helped set the standard for all villains in the future (even Sephiroth was based off of him in several ways actually).

Sephiroth (VII) did the same thing, but looked "cool" and managed to be in the right game at the right time (long story short, FFVII was the first RPG for many, so that's part of why many really think him so highly...he was their first).

Ultimecia (VIII) was either really simple or really complicated (I prefer to believe the latter). She wasn't actually present for most of the game (or was she?), and when she was, it was through someone else. This however makes her less than stellar since nothing of her was ever explained in any way.

Kuja (IX) was great IMO, better than Sephiroth ever was. Unfortunately, he suffers from Trany Syndrome (is dressed very feminine), which makes me strongly believe that "he" should have definitely been a "she" (he would have been far more liked I think, and I'm guessing would've been VERY hot as well 😛).

The villains of FFX were just not that great at all. Seymore had plenty of potential, but fell very short (to becoming the "side villain" that you fight multiple times). Yu Yevon was pretty much just a single minded thing, acting on instinct alone it seems.

With all that being said, the only real villains of note in the FF series is Kefka, Sephiroth, and Kuja. So in the end we have three villains to choose from, and Kuja's Trany Symdrome prevents most from looking past the exterior. This only proves that, like everything else, that the FF series is certainly not without it's flaws, despite how legendary it is. But I could go on about this for a good while, so best to stop now before I get started. Just giving my two cents.
 
In all honesty, I don't think I'll be able to afford a PS3!! =P I'd like to have one, but I'll have to wait for price drops. I wanna grab a 360 for DOA4 and Phantasy Star Universe, so I'm saving for that. Wii should be pretty cheap...
 
I have got my self a 360 and trust me they rule. But the ps3 is going to own not only the 360 and the wii but your wallet to.
 
One of the few reasons why I want a PS3 is Metal Gear. But, six hundred bucks is a lot of money to spend on a system. Especially considering you can't buy the five hundred dollar one since it won't be able to play all of the PS3 games. Wii has some nice looking games coming up, plus the whole oldschool thing made it a must in my book. PS3 still hasn't impressed me yet. But then again, that price has a lot to do with it, lol.
 
The 360 has Xbox live
The wii has the cool pad thing.
and the ps3 has RIDGE RACER!
 
^Cool pad thing?

And I doubt I'll be getting any new systems any time soon, as the price just ain't worth it to me. And remember when the 360 first came out and they were said to crash and overheat like mad? I'll be waiting for quite a while to get a next-gen system most likely.
 
Lol you do know why they were overheating right? You're not suppose to leave a system on carpet. Trust me, I hear that stuff all the time at work. I've had mine since day one of it's release and still have no problems with it. But, I do have to agree with you. 600 bucks is really too much for a system. I still plan on getting a Wii though, I'm all about old school gaming.

LOL no I didn't hear about that. That's pretty funny. I've heard that you're not suppose to leave a system on carpet too, but I didn't know that really did anything. Of course, I don't have a 360, so I couldn't say for that, but I've had alot of systems and have never had a problem with them being on the carpet.

And old school gaming FTW! 😀 I go back and play old SNES games every now and then, definately more often than I do with the newer games (though there are exceptions).
 
what's this? F.E.A.R. : Extraction Point? i'll have you know i love FEAR more than ice cream, and that says alot! i gotta know, what is it, an expansion?

which reminds me, a month ago i lost the first disc for FEAR, and i now can't install it again to play it, i've looked everywhere in my house and can't find it. it's driving me bonkers, i need my FEAR fix!
