Never words truer have been uddeterd. RCT is the BEST game ever and RCT2 hopefully will live up. I can't wait to design my own 4-D Arrow Coaster!

i couldn't agree with you more, x-box shouldn't even be around, and neither should be microsoft. but thats a different story, and rct2 eh? sounds fun, i love the first one

the cool part about RCT II, is that it looks like you can have your entrence and exit in two different station blocks (think Space Mountain). this was something that i've always wanted to do, but couldn't do it properly in RCT I. one the other hand, i just found my RCT I and Loopy Landscape CDs, and i still have most of my old save game files :p. I'm VERY happy with that ;). Now, i just have to wait until Q4 of 2002. Never have i wanted the summer to go by fast, until now :D.

but, i have something to tide me over. today, i think the most enforced rule in my house has been dropped. today, i went to price club and got a PS2, a second control, memory pack (only 8 MB, so small!) and a pretty good game for $20 bucks. so, i have that to tide me over for the summer, just hope that Chris Sawyer works faster than he plans and gets RCT II out earlier than planned :D.

i got my Ragnarok Online beta 2 comming soon....that will keep me busy for the summer, pc game of course

My girlfriend works at a video store, and quite a few people bring back DVDs seriously scratched after playing in a PS2...especially if it's being run vertically...

I really don't see the point of running a PS 2 vertically ??? what's the point.. maybe to save space, but that's the only reason I can think of.

RCT II and other PC games
 

Yeah, Roller Coaster Tycoon II is going to be great. I can't wait for Warcraft III... but really, I'm hoping Blizzard Entertainment will start on a Starcraft II... that would be my dream in life! lol, but really I think Blizzard might go towards creating a new game after the whole Warcraft III and The World of Warcraft thing.

I agree that Xbox will have no future, in the future :D

The Sims is one of the funnest games I've ever owned for PC, and it's going to go online soon which'll be the greatest!! - Ryan

Re: PS2
 

The PS2 has compatibility issues with many DVDs and yes the Xbox is basically a PC...when you play the demo in the store and you get a BSOD that talks about a Direct-X error....well thats something i'd rather not want to own..and PC is great except when your game doesnt work with XP (Darn you microsoft) or it has some error with a graphics card and then you have a useless game so that leaves Gamecube!

Would anyone happen to know of one of these big chain stores (or a store known nation wide) that would take Nintendo and a Playstation as a trade in for a PS2?

I seem to remember Netscape saying something like that about Internet Explorer ;)

Don't ever count out Microsoft, they can buy gamers if they want to.

It Depends on what Nintendo system you're talking about here. If it's a gamecube, you might be able to get a PS2 out of that and a playstation if you trade it into a place like Funcoland or Electronics Boutique, but if it's an N64, good luck on that one. I doubt any store would trade a PS2 for a N64 and a PS.... just because they're greedy store ppl! - Ryan

Re: Re: PS2
 

ive never had a compatibility issue with a dvd on ps2

Bah, Xbox will be around for a while. Just wait a little bit for them to get established. Anyways, with Nintendo cutting back on hardware development, that's going to leave just Microsoft and Sony to release new systems.

As for the PS2 dvd system problems... I've never had a problem with mine. Probalby most of the older systems were the ones with problems... I got mine a couple months ago and never had anything go wrong with it.

October 1, baby, yeah! RCT II has some interesting new features, and my favorite of all is working block systems on the coasters. That'll rock like a crocodile.

Screenshots of RCT II

There's so much new goodness. Arrow 4D's, Zero cars on Arrow's Multilooper trains, Intamin tri-rail, Intamin Hyper trains, new scenery object, Intamin inverted coasters, Giavanola Hypers, steps, better ride saving capacity, Schwarzkopf Speed Racer cars, better banking options on coasters, scenario editor, Premier LIM coasters. . . *drool*

For now, though No Limits will have to hold me over. :)

Oh, yeah, and the real thing, too.

thats a nice little way of looking at it....except for the fact that there will never be a next generation of game consols. they have become an out dated relic of the past.....computer gaming is much better graphics, better devolpers, better games, and better speed and hardware support. and now with tv-out on just about every video card, you can play the games on your couch and watch on the tv, like i do. and already computers have surpassed consol graphics and capabilities with the 128mb ati radeon and geforce 4, so just wait till q1 next year when the 256mb cards come out, give the final blow to weak game systems
