trust me...if mgs2 is anything to go by then hideo kojima is our lord and saviour of the gaming plotline

dear lord it was more movie than game

and also

(in most cases..although im sure there are exceptions)

fighting racing and 3rd person shootemups are the domain of the console

strategy sim and fps are the domain of the pc

halo is amazing, and "those little buttons" actually work bloody well, far exceeding my expectations (i was a sceptic i tell ye)


and err...solid snake is the man mmkay...hence my replica snake beard atm

rah

My mate who works in a game shop said to me last week that hideo kojima has said that if he had the license for Splinter Cell he would call it Metal Gear Solid 3 as he thinks it that good, high praise indeed.

i doubt that that they will enhance the graphics for the x-box:< from what ive iseen of multi platform games, they make it for one thing, then convert the codebase, although the x-box is pretty similar to pc, right?

It depends on the developer, usually they'll create textures and what have you in higher detail than they need for the actual game, and then downsize a certain amount for each format. Some developers actually go the extra mile to use some of the advanced effects xbox supports in hardware that the PS2 just doesn't have, but not very often.

Anyways, check out colin mcrae, rocky and turok which all look slightly better on the box for examples of what I mean.
