That's one thing that has me really upset with Sega and Sony and really 
excited for Dolphin. The Dreamcast controller just sucks, man. After the Dual 
Shock, the force feedback should just be in the controller. The feature of 
the screen is cool, but it was poorly planned, like someone at Sega said, 
"Hey! Let's make a controller with a screen on it!" and then didn't bother 
making it comfortable. A good idea, but definitely should be improved on. 
Weren't there rumors about a DC controller redesign?

And the Dual Shock 2 ... oh please. For a company as rich as Sony, you'd 
think they'd spend a little time on R&D. These analog buttons? WTF? In SM64, 
you tap the button and Mario leaps, but press hard and he jumps higher. 
What's the whole analog angle, anyway? I think that again, it's just all 
show. I bet when Nintendo releases their new controller, Sony and Sega will 
both scramble to copy 'em, just like they did with the N64. 

The N64 controller is excellent. The C buttons could be bigger, there could 
be more buttons overall, and 4 shoulder buttons would be cool, too. But it is 
quite nice. The only other controller that compares is Sega's Night's 
controller, which my local EB has a ton of.

Well, Jed, it's complicated. Back when the SNES was popular, Sega released 
the Sega CD. Hoping to stay even with Sega, Nintendo went to Sony and asked 
them help them design a CD add on for the SNES. Sony put a young engineer, 
Ken Kutaragi, on the project. Nicknamed the PlayStation-X, or PSX for short, 
it was scheduled to come out. But in the 11th hour, Nintendo backed out, due 
to the failure of the Sega CD and the royalty model the PSX had. Sony was 
furious that they lost millions in R&D for nothing, and kept the machine in 
lay away for a while. Then, after tweaking the original model, the unleashed 
the PlayStation on the world. The rest, as they say, is history.

Exactly. It's just another way for the companies to get more money off of 
you. Sega was smart and shipped the modem without the system. Sega already 
has an Internet system rearin' to go. And after the news that Quake 3 Arena 
will go on this DC network and let DC owners play PC owners, I a *seriosuly*

One of the best games I've ever played. The control is great on both the N64 
and PSX versions, on both versions you can use either the D-Pad or analog 
stick for movement but I prefer the D-Pad. It's the kind of game that takes 
little time at all to learn but you'll end up playing it for hours. On both 
versions the framerate it perfect too. There is draw in on the PSX version, 
but it's really about as bad as the draw in on Soul Reaver (doesn't hurt 
gameplay at all). There's no multiplayer deathmateches per se, but there is 
some fun 2 play modes. My favorite is horse. (you can change the word horse 
to whatever you want (I prefer d*ckhead, so the loser is the d*ckhead instead 
of the horse) it to be. Horse is about one upping your opponent. If player 
one does a trick for 100 points the player 2 has to match or beat the 100 or 
they will get a letter. It took me the month of October to finish the game 
and that was playing for about 2 hours almost every day of October 1999. No 
game library is complete without a copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

The differences between the N64 and PSX versions are slight. I think the PSXs 
has better graphics than the N64s but only marginally better. There's a bit 
of N64 blur on the N64 version. The N64 version doesn't have all of the 
lyrics present that can be found in the PSX version, but I think that's more 
political than technical. One song that lacks lyrics on the N64 version is 
"Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" by Primus. A sample of the lyrics, "Jerry was a 
race car driver, drove so goddamn fast, never did get no checkered flag be 
never did come in last..". I'm sure you understand why that's not in the N64 
version. Also when a player's skater hits the ground in the PSX version 
there's a brief spray of blood (really a bunch of red squares) and that's not 
in the N64 version. Most of all the N64 lacks the cool arsed FMV that was 
littered throughout the PSX THPS. Throughout the stages, most prominent in 
the Minneapolis stage, there were big screens set up all over the "world" 
with a music video that corresponded to the song being played. In the 
Minneapolis stage it was also found on small TVs in shop windows, all in real 
time. It was pretty darn cool. Added nothing to gameplay but cool just the 
same. The N64 version doesn't, though, have the load time of the PSX version, 
but the load time of the PSX version was limited to a 12 second break when 
loading a new "world." If you have both the N64 and PSX I'd say get the PSX 
version. Sure the DC version is coming in June so you could wait for that 
too. But if you just have an N64 by all means go and buy Tony Hawk's Pro 
Skater. 

Oh, for the guy who loved the stunt mode in Rush 2, you must get THPS as well.

Yeah. You can't use a PSX Gameshark on a PSX2 so I'm not getting rid of my 
PSX. It'll be nice to play a PSX fighter without load time, but I could live 
without it, I did with all of Nintendo's systems. ;) (Game Boy excluded) SEGA 
made the Power Base Converter for the Genesis but Nintendo didn't follow suit 
for the SNES, and I still got an SNES.

Oh, $40. That's what you get these days for selling a used PSX. Anybody who 
can put aside $50 a moth from January will have more than enough for a PSX2 
and games come September. Besides, there's too many great PSX titles now and

Who's gonna buy useless games? Actually none of my PSX games are useless. I

It was the codename for the PlayStation system Sony began working on after 
the deal for the SNES CD-ROM fell through, PlayStation Experimental. PSX. I 
think the PSX name stuck to avoid confusion with the IBM line of computers 
the PS1 etc.

Subject: [N64] great game

You know what would make a great game?
a game where you could interact very well with all the characters,
one where you could use one games info and use it on another one(simcity 
2000 cities can be uploaded into 3 games)like I mentioned earlier about that 
new pokemon game that i think would be cool is that you should also be able 
to hook it up to your gameboy and upload a bit of your gameboy pokemon. Here 
is another cool idea: remember super smash brothers? well it would have been 
neat if you could have uploaded any pokemon, or someone from mortal kombat!
The future of gaming is uploading from diffrent games onto another, thats 
what I think

Not press hard, it's hold longer, that's a big difference.

> What's the whole analog angle, anyway? 

Buy a NeGcon (they're $5 at Software ETC) and ask that again. Or just play a 
Dreamcast racer that uses the shoulder buttons. 

Analog buttons are best shown in racing games to give varying degrees of a 
gas or brake pedal. Until the Dreamcast (unless you had a NeGcon, but most 
ppl are scared to the twisty boy) when playing a console driving game you 
could either floor it or coast. Analog buttons change all that.

All SEGA really needs to do if find an American distributor for the ASCII Pad 
FT and they're really set, and Sony's set right now too. Although I can't 
wait to see what Nintendo is cooking.

Oh yeah, silly me, the NiGHTS controller's triggers were analog too, it's 
just it could reach a big audience on the Saturn. So really Nintendo is 
playing catch up with analog buttons.

Unless you use AOHell, CompuServe, or a Free Internet service I doubt it.
