Random Gaming Madness
Wow, not much going on in the video gaming world. Let's see what I can find which is even a little bit interesting...
Ah, this is semi-cool. Engadget interviewed Bill Gates about the next Xbox, PC media center features, the PSP, and other gaming related items. Of course it is a bit annoying when the interviewer asks Bill a question, which then completely ignores and then just talks about whatever he wants. But it's still an interesting interview.
In other news it appears that Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is a PS3 fan. Pachter wrote a memo where he stated "We think that many investors have misinterpreted the launch of the Xbox 360 as the beginning of the next generation, and expect rapid sales growth in 2006. In contrast, we expect the launch of Sony's PS3 (expected in late 2006) to mark the beginning of the next cycle, and think that rapid sales growth will not materialize until 2007." Interesting point of view.
Finally, Rockstar released lots of GTA: San Andreas Xbox and PC details. Here's the scoop:
- Release date(s) - June 7, 2005 (North America); June 10 (Europe)
- 480p (progressive scan) and 16:9 widescreen support
- Higher resolution textures
- New lighting and shading models
- Increased draw distance
- Customizable soundtracks
- New 30-second instant replay feature

Thats interesting, Ive been debating to buy Microsoft or PS stock
Posted by Jack at May 2, 2005 11:10 PMYay for the San Andreas on PC deal. I'm not planning on buying it myself since I already have it for PS2, but now people can much more easily make crazy videos and stuff.
Actually, I just might get it anyway so I can make my own videos... I know ways to make some completely insane stuff happen.
Merci for info.
Posted by Gauphastus at May 4, 2005 1:08 AMIm REALLY looking forward to it on the PS. My PS2 is old, and has had its 24hour non-stop gaming runs, so it loads and runs GTA:San Andreas poorly. I dont know why, just does =/ So Im looking forward to seeing it on my Alien 4ghz monster!
