I religiously play Madden 2001 on the PC (been practicing pappy? hehe) and after playing Madden 2001 on the PS2 at the store last night, I was NOT impressed. The PC and PS2 versions supposedly use the same models but the players look so much better and have much more realistic animations on the PC. It looks like a solid game on the PS2 but I was just not as impressed with it as the PC version. There went my itch to get a PS2

Sam is right, a Computer will always be better than a console, period. But there is a certain feel I get when I play on a console that I don't get on a computer.....

Yeah, there's always a different feeling... mabey it's because the system is smaller... and the TV is different... and the controllers, yes the controller... always suck.

I always get a "solid" feeling when playing consoles. Games seem to play a lot smoother on consoles without many problems like on a PC. I used to hate playing sports games on a PC and would only play on consoles. Funny enough, that has changed! Madden 2000 and 2001 have taken me away from the console and I am enjoying the online play. That is what it is all about now. It isn't any fun to play the AI. I like playing friends online better.

And don't forget that HD TV will break the consol's dependence on the 320 x 240 (close enough) resolution provided by current television sets and allow for crisper imagry.

I'm fairly certain that Dreamcast can run in 640x480 without HDTV.

I hate people that side to much in the gaming industry. While i side to the pc, and they will always be better, even thought the market for console games is alot larger, i still buy consoles. i dont think the pc, or the console is supior in any way.

plus psx has fifa 98...my team is da shit.
