Seventh Generation: The Years of Stagnation

[TheEdge]

the playstation brand is too valuable to be dropped completely

Throw it off a bridge.

[MrMatthews]

Too bad a Playstation-sized hole in the market share wouldn't bring anyone back.

I'd love to see Nintendo and Sega going head to head again.

[TheEdge]

Yea, a lot of people are going to be disappointed on 9/9/09.

Sega wouldn't even know where to start trying to getting back into hardware nor do they have the cash.

I have both an Xbox 360 and a PS3. I LOVE my 360 to death (true story, it's died 2 times already!), and I play it daily. Best purchase in a long time game-wise. The PS3 is really slow in getting games that interest me, but there's enough to play right now, and it's a decent little secondary system. The Wii just doesn't interest me at all, and I sold mine after about a year. I don't miss it.

This generation has had some truly excellent games, and anyone who thinks otherwise has missed out on some great times. I can understand the shift in the market turning some people off, but to say that there's nothing worth playing or innovative this generation is just nuts.

There is that "nut" word again.

I like my new Dell Inspiron 530s much better, thank you.

Not only can I play new PC titles on it but I can play old PC titles as well. Also I can serf the web, play roms, talk on ventrilo, print, type, and do all the things that the current gen can do and more. Also it hasn't broke 2 times. So I guess thats a plus.

I have a Wii and a PS3, and I enjoy both systems. I have little interest in a 360, due to the failure rate, and the fact that only a few 360 exclusives tickle my fancy.

[MrMatthews]

Actually, I think some of the most innovative software went to the Wii. I'm playing Zack & Wiki right now, and loving it!

Too bad you have to sift through shoddy PS2 ports with clumsy motion controls and a barrage of lame Grandma-friendly games to get to the good stuff, though.

Hopefully Nintendo makes the most of the next three years to keep me buying Wii games.

[TheEdge]

I heard you can plug in the Gamecube controller into the Wii. Is that true?

[MrMatthews]

Yep. The Wii does everything that the GameCube did, other than connect to the GBA player

[TheEdge]

Thats good, I think the one reason I would rent a Wii is to play Umbrella Chronicles.

[MrMatthews]

Funny. I was almost expecting you to ask what good games were available for the Wii, and I would have recommended that one to you.

Resident Evil + House of the Dead = 8 fun hours!

[TheEdge]

It definitely looks like a great game.

[MrMatthews]

Ehhh ...

I'd give it a solid B.

The best part of the game is playing through the original Resident Evil section, and seeing the mansion EXACTLY as you remember it, only in full 3D.

And there are bonus missions that you unlock, so you get to play as Wesker escaping from the mansion and Ada escaping from Raccoon City.

but it's all over pretty quickly. A perfect rental.

[TheEdge]

How did Wesker escape from the Mansion?
