if ps3 is capable of that then xbox better watch out cus they are calling it the next Halo killer and it's easy to see why. I think hl2 is a Halo killer cept that it was on cpu first which is where it should be. High end fps have no place on any consol in my oppinion. Though the new systems may change that
HL2 is not a halo killer in any way shape or form. To do that they would would have to have great multiplayer for the box. HL2 has crappy multiplayer except for CS and when it comes out DoD is expected to rock. It's the same as HL1. The game is pretty cool, the multiplayer sucks and the multiplayers mods rock. Plus I think Halo's single player game is way way way better than half life 2, plus you can play co-op in halo. Killzone looks incredible though. I can't wait to see Halo 3 screens.
"A tried and true statement in the gaming world...
Gameplay beats graphics every time."
Why do so many people assume gameplay is going to turn to crap with the new systems because they have awesome graphics? Because of the new graphics and power there are new opportunities for kickass gameplay all over the place. Look at oblivion. You're literally going to be able to travel to anywhere in the world you can see off in the distance. They're finally going to be able to make an awesome fable if they want with everything they claimed fable was supposed to have with no limitations. You're right it's gameplay that matters, but with the new power comes new exciting gameplay options I can't wait to get into my hands. Example, how many of you think San Andreas is an amazing game? Even if you don't personally like that kind of game, it is amazing and a great game. You sure as hell can't make a game like that with a ps1.
"Finally Backwards capablity that is a must any more and may be Xbox 360's biggest problem."
Xbox 360 is going to be backwards compatible isn't it? I thought they all are.
Also, PC's cost more if you want a great machine and when new games come out you need to update them often. Consoles you get what you get and every game that comes out works perfectly. They also don't have compatability or install problems which can be a huge pain in the ass every once in a while. Consoles are very very nice. Plus, many games play better on a console than on a computer. Pretty much anything mario is a good example.
