But then that's not giving an accurate demographic, all those who don't have an Xbox will say no, as will those who for example have fallen out with Bis, as will those who don't think Opf should be demeaned as to be an Xbox game, etc. etc. Until a poll can accurately reflect those types of opinions I can only in all good conscience use my smooth legs to vote "null" http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Now with the current poll result, I - if I were BIS - would rethink my strategy and maybe focus on what I have left of my existing community, instead of investing time and money in a project, which would need it's whole new community. What's the point in loosing most of the current fanbase within the next 12 months, by trying to create another xbox-based community that for sure will not grow to the size of the pc community.

Just a hint... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I agree, consoles stink. You can probably extend your XBox with a mouse, keyboard, broadband internet and a monitor to ensure nice OFP gameplay. Hmmm, I am not sure but I think you'd be better off with buying a PC for that money...

Jester983

Mar 22 2003, 17:29

Honestly, even if i had xbox i wouldn't buy it. Why? Because you wouldnt get the fullest out of it. Mission editor/the ability to download addons/etc.

IMO console games are too freaking expensive. Look at PS2 games they're 50 bucks for one. If you think about it, you can go out and buy a nice new PC game for that price.

Also, I read that the OFP in xbox will only have half the power of the engine. I could be wrong though.

But hey if this is what they want by all means i say go for it. Maybe people who play it on xbox will say "hey this is really fun, i wonder what its like on PC..."

Mar 22 2003, 18:06

although Xbox is not as good as PC, it gives BIS an overall experience into console gaming. Console gaming itself constructs a good portion of gaming market, and for BIS to try the waters with OFPXb is a good investment.

IL is NOT BIS's work, it's BIS Austrailia's work.

Nope.
Don't have an X-Box, don't feel like shelling out almost Can$500 for an X-Box and Steel Battallion (even if I had the money. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif )

I have nothing against consoles, though.
I own more PS2 games than I do PC games.

I generally prefer console RPGs to PC ones, and as a big time anime fan, a lot of the games I like are PS2 exclusive.

Generally, PC games have more replayability, but that's only if oyou can download mods and addond from the net, or shell out $30 for each expansion. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

So, I honestly can't say one is better than the other; I'd be equally sad without my PC or my PS2; gaming wise.

Though, I wholeheartedly agree that I'd reccommend OFP PC over OFP X-Box, espcially the GOTY edition.

No, I am not getting it for Xbox. I am sticking to PC all the way. PC ROCKS! Better then Xbox in my opinion. Plus for Xbox you don't have addons, new maps, or anything. The graphics are probaly worse then PC too. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Maybe none of you read the thing they said about X-Box version.

It will be using "version 1.5" of the OFP engine, that is halfway to the OFP2 engine from what I understood from the interview.

I would be interested in SEEING the XBOX version to note whether the changes are visible as yet, but why would any PC owner already with OFP want to buy it again for XBOX?
What a silly question.... That version is being released, not for us, but for them........

I will admit it, I'm a PC gamer and I own an XBox. And I answered the poll with a maybe. If the game comes out with XBox Live support, then I will definitely pick the game and an XBox Live unit up. If there is no XBox live support, I probably wouldn't get it at all.

I own an XBOX. Has never failed me unlike Microsofts other software. Alot of games on XBOX are third party, not produced by MS. If your going to boycott MS products then you should be using MAC pc's.

I do not plan on getting OFP for XBOX simply due to the lack of addons and why buy same game twice?

I don't have an X-Box (as a matter of principle), but if I did, X-Box Live support wouldn't be a selling point for me. I already pay enough on my regular internet fees, I don't need to be shelling out more money (the X-Box Live fees) for the privilage of playing OFP online.

However I am curious about any engine improvments, but I wouldn't buy it.

correct me if im wrong, but doesnt Microsoft own more than half of Apple/Mac? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

and microsoft are the makers of the xbox, so if you buy an xbox but only 3rd party games, it wont make much difference http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I wont be buying it, why would I want a raped version of OFP, and why they claim its gonner be better on Xbox? That upsets me.
Anything to convince newcomers to get into OFP is ok to me , but dont lie and I hope they arent wasting much resources on a console game? In my mind once OFP is on Xbox it then has the "game" title rather than a "simulator".
I almost bought an Xbox last christmas for my baby (hes 2) but got a gamecube instead,he hardly plays it and demands the computer instead.He plays 3 games mainly ,OFP , Battlefield and Tribes 2 and does it all unattended.He will be 3 this christmas and he needs a computer ,not a game console.
I wasted money

A raped version of OFP... this needs reporting to the police! Todays scociety is really going downhill, i know OFP is extremly sexy but cant you take no for an answer!?! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Veering more on-topic now then:

Hmmm if i had an X-Box i'd be leaning towards the maybe. But now i dont have an X-Box only my trusted PC and PS2 (and wanting to buy a Gamecube) Also the good o'l 8bit nintendo nothing quite like it. (OFP2 in 8bit format please BIS
http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard301/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif )

And for various reasons i decided when X-Box was released not to buy it ever. Cough prostitution of good games developers cough cough.

Interesting how this quickly turned into a PC vs Console debate. When that happens, objectivity seems to go out the window. Some people are just wired to think that all games must be on the PC. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In fact, many games suck on a PC, most notably head-to-head games such as various Sports titles.

There is something to be said for games specifically programmed for 5.1 surround sound, and played on a 36" TV. Personally, I found my Dreamcast version of Rainbow Six to be far better than the PC version, although it was made much later... sort of like X-box OpFl.

I like both console and PC games. Consoles got me started, playing Track&Field with my grandpa on his 8bit nintendo. Good o'l days. And thus i have some relation to gaming, and it's something that goes over it being a hobby. It's part of me, and thus i have very strong feelings about wich games are good and wich game platforms are crap. Not dissing anyone just saying i as a traditional gamer dislike the things being done to my dear consoles.
