Simulation games improve by making the graphics better. Maybe not so much the game play, but visuals do help in the enjoyment of the surroundings. |

--- Quote from: SavannahLion on December 30, 2007, 03:50:13 am --- If you're going to argue technical aspects on a console, can you at least not inflate the numbers there? The SNES does not have three times as much main RAM, it's 64K vs 128K. --- End quote --- I don't know how I completely missed this way back when. I hate when I do that. Anyway . . . I didn't inflate anything. SNES has 192K RAM, not 128. 192 is exactly 3 times 64. The Genesis has 64K of shared RAM. SNES has 128K of system RAM and 64K of VRAM, i.e., 192K. --- Quote from: SavannahLion on December 30, 2007, 03:50:13 am --- --- Quote from: shmokes link=topic=74927.msg776262#msg776262 ---What's going on with the Wii is a first. Nintendo released a home console five years after the original Xbox that has not produced a single game in a year's time that could not be done on the Xbox. --- End quote --- Can you at least check your game list before making that comment? If you're talking strictly about graphics, OK, you have that. At this point, all I'm saying, shmokes, is that if you want to argue the merits of any console, can you at least get the facts straight? --- End quote --- Well . . . of course I'm talking about graphics (and other processing intensive tasks like AI and physics). I can be ridiculous at times, but not so ridiculous to suggest that games requiring IR pointer and/or accelerometer would work with a standard Xbox controller. For this reason I figured that my meaning was pretty clear. I'm talking about hardware capabilities. The fact is, all you'd need for the Xbox to be capable of doing 95% of what we've seen on Wii is release an appropriate controller for it. It won't happen, of course, but not because it couldn't be easily done. There's just no market for such a device on the Xbox. |
