I heard they're switching engines so I'll be surprised if it actually comes out before like 2002.

Counter Strike is for no skill n00bs all the weapons are hitscan and there's no movement. Play a real game like UT.

I miss the feeling of anticipation waiting for the E3 edition of EGM to show up in my mail box so I could learn about Dreamcast, PS2, and Dolphin.

The Nintendo 64 is having an awesome year. Super Smash Bros., Star Wars Episode I: Racer, Rayman 2, Donkey Kong 64, Pok�mon Snap, Mario Party, Mario Golf, Beetle Adventure Racing, Harvest Moon 64...

Jet Force Gemini is way overhyped though. Clunky and grindy. :crossarms:

Jumpingmanjim: Sep 26, 2024; The Thermaltake SpinQ is a uniquely designed cpu cooler. As you can seen in the above, the cooler has a cylinder heatsink and spiral aluminum fins, with a 80mm fan that provides air stream throughout the cylindrical fin structure. A blue LED is also installed there contributing to aesthetics.

I think Deathmatch will dominate the FPS genre forever. Objective based games like Counter-Strike just can't compete with pure fragging.

I wouldn't bother waiting for the PS2, it won't be anything special. Everyone knows the Dreamcast is the future anyway.

How did Capcom manage to screw up Street Fighter 3 so bad?

Almost no one from SF2 or Alpha is in it, it's barely a Street Fighter game at all. Why come up with a bunch of new characters for Alpha just to throw them away?
It doesn't help that all of the new characters in 3 suck. My bowling alley doesn't even wanna fix their machine anymore because no one plays it. The P2 roundhouse button hasn't worked for months.

Blood 2 sucks, I can't get it to run well and I don't think the underlying game is much good anyway. I'm going back to the first one. I'm sure I'll find something more fulfilling to do with my life in the next 25 years

on the other hand, whichever goon mentioned Soul Calibur earlier is dead on, the first better-than-arcade port.

literally different teams in Capcom working on them, and who would want to be the ones to make The Follow-Up to Literally Street Fighter II
