Subject: [N64] From Next Generation Online
In a world exclusive, Next Generation Magazine breaks the story on
Microsoft's entry in the next gen console race.
September 2, 1999
In a world exclusive report in its October issue (due on stands next
week), Next Generation magazine has revealed that Microsoft is working
on a set-top games playing console, code named X-Box.
While a Microsoft spokesperson quoted in the article called the story
"wishful thinking," several independent sources have confirmed that
X-Box has been in development for several months. Contacted today, a
Microsoft spokesperson repeatedly stated, "This is a rumor. It is
Microsoft's policy not to comment on rumors."
According to the story, X-Box will feature a 500 MHz processor by Intel
(note: according to a follow up story in the forthcoming November issue
of Next Generation Magazine, an AMD Athlon powered version is also
planned), nVidia's NV-10 graphics technology (recently renamed GeForce),
and a modified version of the WinCE operating system. According to the
story, this will make X-Box capable of PlayStation 2-level performance.
Design for the system will come from Microsoft, but it will probably be
built and sold by multiple manufacturers (Dell and Gateway are mentioned
in the story), and it seems that multiple CPU/graphics technologies are
possible in different X-Box variants.
According to sources quoted in the article, Microsoft has kept quiet
about X-Box so as not to affect the launch of partner Sega's Dreamcast,
which can also use Windows CE technology, but it will be released in
Fall 2000 for under $300. The article speculates that based on
Microsoft's history and business strategies, the machine will probably
be an open platform, like the PC, allowing anyone to develop for it
without having to become a Microsoft licensee. It is also possible that
X-Box games will run on PCs without further modification.

Oh, ain't that a kicker. You know what this is, a PC designed exclusively for
games. Cool in a way. Console price & PC games with (I hope) standardized
controllers and other console only items.

HAH. The PC games market is different from the console market. If Microsoft
makes a "console" that will play PC games, even if it has extrememly
high-end components, it will no longer be able to run the newest games in
about a year and a half. I seriously doubt anyone would buy a system like
that.

I can honestly say now it is R-Type Delta. The way this game plays, you would

(it's kinda hard even on easy) but this game is totally mindblowing (as far
as sidescrolling shooters go) A definate 9.5.

Oh yes. Final word on Driver & Sled Storm. I'd rather play with a steaming
pile of doggy doo than play one more minute of either of these games.

But that doesn't seem to be what it is. It sounds to be like a console in
every sense, but the games may also work on the PC. You seem to have it
backwards. Maybe it will force PC deveopers to learn to work with
limitations. Who knows. Maybe it will be another CD-i?

What did you guys think of the Spaceworld games? Here are my impressions
(drawn from the coverage on IGN, Nintendojo, and other places.. I wasn't
actually there ;-)
Kirby 64: Looks good, but hopefully Nintendo's not trying to pull a Yoshi's
Island here.
Earthbound 64: The graphics look nice, but the battle system is supposedly
similar to the SNES one, which I didn't like very much.
Excitebike 64: Definitely interested in this one.
Mario Party 2: I'm not buying another one of these games, ever. You stop
playing it after about a month, and there are better party games (Goldeneye)
Super Mario Adventure: I'm a little more interested now than before, but I
still have serious doubts as to whether it will be any good.
Mini Racers: This looks awesome.. I loved Rock and Roll Racing.

Same here. I'd kill for a good 2D RPG right now.

Yes, sidescroller. As opposed to first person shooters, third person
shooters, and pseudo 3-D shooters.
Have you ever played a side scroller shooter? Some of my favorites are Contra
3, Life Force, Jackal, Axelay, R-Type Delta, Last Resort, Einhander, 1942,
and Fantasy Zone.

Peer says this game is kick ass. Its truly a fantastic game with psuedo 3-D
polygonal graphics. Don't judge a game by crappy second hand screenshots

Very good game according to peer.

Yes I was raving about it. But the glitches, oh the glitches. And some of the
cars, they had Tomb Raider steering, that's what I call it. The car won't
turn until about five seconds after you push the stick. No screeching tires,
no rumbling of the dual shock, just waiting. I tell ya, I'm never going to
buy a game from Pignoses without renting it again. Pignoses is like Sony's
Acclame.

Didn't really see anything that looked interesting. Well, the F-Zero X
Expansion Disk looked cool. But that's it really. The only N64 game I want
currently is Perfect Dark.

That was before I played the Championship Mode. Hey, EA scored good with Need
For Speed 4, so I figured Sled Storm would be good. No problems though. Got
my money back & got R-Type Delta. The problem with Sled Storm was that
whenever you upgraded your sled your opponents got the same upgrades. It made
the money system pointless. You never could get an advantage. The rules made
no sense, it was the Bushido Blade syndrome.
