Same here, i tried halo 2 online once and nearly smashed the controller off the wall in frustration, fucking fps games and joypads DO NOT WORK. Maybe with the next gen consoles they'll finally figure out how to release a mouse and keyboard.

its really strange, most of my friends are console gamers and are awesome at fps games on consoles but cannot use a keyboard and mouse for gaming. But I'm the opposite - I cant shoot shit with a console controller but am good with a keyboard and mouse.

Ive got xbox and gamecube but rarely play them, pretty much totally pc for games these days. Switching from the accurate mouse\keyboard combo to a friggin controller is like using a mouse\keyboard with boxing gloves on. annoy:

yup same for me, I always suck at playing with a controller, so always get pwned when playing with my mates on their consoles. Keyboard and mouse are much easier for gaming.

Theres one plus side to the xbox controller, if afriend "pwns" you you can hit him with the controller, drag it back by the cable and repeat till he shuts the hole. Keyboards not quite heavy enough. annoy:

I agree.

How can anyone say "this > that" when the damn things aren't even released yet. oOo:

If people are buying into that utter shite about the cell cpu being the be all end all of cpu's i suggest they go check the anandtech article which basically shows it for what it really is. As for the graphics chip in it, its nothing more than a speeded up 7800gtx. The xbox360 aint all its cracked up to be either.

The article was yanked from the site ut you can read it here

[quote:a769c]Shimpi's article also made the bombshell claim that "the real-world performance of the Xenon CPU is about twice that of the 733MHz processor in the first Xbox," and that the next-gen processor is nowhere near the power of, say, a modern Athlon 64 or Pentium 4 desktop processor. Shimpi even went so far as to say, "not a single developer we've spoken to thinks that [the multi-core design of the PS3 and Xenon CPUs] was the right decision." These are stunning claims, especially in light of the lofty CPU performance claims made by both Sony and Microsoft.
Was Microsoft's triple-core CPU gamble a bad move?


So what was Shimpi trying to say? That Sony and Microsoft made a huge mistake when they went with a multi-core CPU design for the PS3 and Xbox 360? That the processing power of each system would ultimately prove to be disappointing to gamers? And is the Xbox 360's CPU really only "twice that of the 733MHz in the first Xbox?" The article raised eyebrows across the 'net.

The most ironic bit of it all is that according to developers, if either manufacturer had decided to use an Athlon 64 or a Pentium D in their next-gen console, they would be significantly ahead of the competition in terms of CPU performance.

So there ya go, instead of developing a cpu their consoles would have been better designed going with a dual core pentium 4 or athlon64.

gerv, build graphics cards and computer parts.


the only reason why some people like PS3 better is the footage from killzone. and by the way, was that actual gameplay film?

No, it was basically done from a fps viewpoint to make it appear like it was game footage. From what i know the only realtime ingame footage that sony showed was from the new unreal engine.

let this thread die already!!11111111

Call Of Duty limits you to 2 main weapons, along with a pistol.

MOH:SH has it.

Granted im talking PC games, but yeah.

While I still prefer good ol' mouse and keyboard, I recently rented halo 2 to play on my older sisters xbox. it took me a while to get used to the controls, but now, other than the occasional accidental grenade throw, I am pretty good. My only problem now is how jerky the aim can be. I cant aim a sniper rifle nice and smooth at an enemy's head. Thats annoying.
