Funny, half of that's true now

[Bushby]

I've just been reading Acts of Gord again (I needed cheering up) and came across this chapter.

This topic is about things we though wouldn't happen in gaming, like the success of Xbox modding or Halo getting 10 in Edge (DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A HALO/EDGE THREAD).

It's funny how so often we're proved wrong. What's taken you by surprise?

[DJ Sack]

A sonic game appearing on anything other than sega hardware.

[sith]

Sega only making games

[chipsgravy]

Eric Bishoff in the WWE.

Oh you want gaming Surprises.

Gamecube not launching with a Mario title.

[Spiral]

The price of games dropping.

GameStars.

[Halo]

Nintendo actually listening to its consumers and releasing the GBA Sp

Nintendo recently releasing commercial emulators, dispite the fact it's always called them illegal.

Microsoft actually being a competitant competitor in the console marketplace.

[toonfool]

Microsoft buying Rare.

Final Fantasy on Gamecube.

[Mr Do 71]

Nintendo/Sega logos on the same screen together = F-Zero GX

[Jonathan_Kerr]

Capcom vs SNK

[Transient Curse]

[Landshead]

Ubisoft are making good games.

[Stroker Ace]

Rare utterly going to the dogs.

[Liquid Myth]

I know it's already been mentioned (kind of), but Sonic on the GBA shocks me occasionally.

[Lazychu]

EA making some genuinely great games.

[suzakuseven]

Squaresoft releasing a direct sequal to a Final Fantasy game (kind of obvious that one!)

[Landshead]

EA making some genuinely great games.

Can't think of any apart from the great SSX series, what EA games are good then?

I would answer that but I'd like to keep this on topic.

[Silent Runner]

Madden, EA Hockey loads of Megadrive and SNES titles.

[McCoy]

Zelda becoming Cel shaded.

[Initial K]

The Xbox has been out for over 2 years now and there are still only a handfull of original and interesting games.

Oh no, we're not going down there...

[Alex W.]

Agreed.

To rapidly change the subject, the inevitable but never-quite-certain event of Sony releasing a handheld.

[Spiral]

Seeing myself on the TV in a game.

[jaynay]

Seeing myself on the TV in a game.

If your talking about the eyetoy, i'd add 'controlling a game with my hands' in 2004. Were living in the future, man!

[D-Side]

Online gaming becoming managable

[Nosh]

Online gaming becoming managable

Online gaming becoming succesful on a console

[jeff mills gran]

sony showing a lack of organisation and drive with regards to online gaming that would make even nintendo of europe blush.

[Disgraced Toblerone]

Having had more games crashing on both the PS2 and GC than on the Xbox.

[squirtle]

'controlling a game with my hands' in 2004. Were living in the future, man!

What exactly have you been using to control games? Your feet?

The DC dying came as a huge disappointing surprise. Xbox Live! being absolutely ace was a rather more pleasant surprise. Seeing myself in from the forum in edge was another surprise. And... Metroid Prime being second best game of this generation.

[Halo]

?

What's that then? Or is that the Nes games on the GBA?

The Zelda bonus disks on the GC and the NES games on the GBA, as well as those built into Animal Crossing etc

The Xbox has been out for over 2 years now and there are still only a handfull of original and interesting games.

Please, please fuck off. I'd argue that all the consoles in this generation that are out only have a handful of exclusive genuine original and intresting games - the Xbox is no worse. Either way, this isn't the thread to argue it.
