XBox & The Future

August 29, 2000 5:48 PM

Salon.com is carrying a lengthy and interesting article looking at how the Microsoft X-Box will most likely change the face of home entertainment/gaming. It's heavy on the praise but has a lot of good points. There are quotes from a few game developers in there. In case there was any doubt though... :

Hardcore gamers will never be satisfied by a platform with frozen specs, not if they can get a better experience on an open one," says Costikyan. And they will. The PC is a platform in continuous evolution

Yup. I imagine I'll decide on getting one or not when we see some full blown games running on the systems. Unless they have TombRaider XII ported to it, I'm not gettin it!
