Ask and ye shall receive.

I took this picture in Mexico. I even had one climb up on me and drag his nuts across my back. I bet I'm the only person here that can claim that!

Whoa. Now I want a spider monkey too.

Well, I'm not gonna say the guy doesn't know what he's talking about, because he does have experience. But, he's a level designer. He's probably not the person to talk to to rate each systems power. The programmers who wrote the engines would have a better idea and it sounds like, from his comparisons, that Metal Arms was aimed mostly at the XBox. Michel Ancel said that his programmers would back him up about the GC.

"the Xbox version SHOULD look better because it is FASTER"

That statement right there kinda makes me not take him so seriously. It's cpu is not faster, it's achitecture is a drain on the cpu, so many games run at twice the framerate on the GC. The XBox engine that Swingin Ape developed may be better than their GC engine but, if it actually does run faster than the GC rev, then it's the first game in over two years to do so, at least from all the games I've seen. The XBox does have more RAM though, theres no arguing there.

Do you have a list of all these multi platform game that run better on GC than on Xbox?

I'd buy them.

More monkeys, 'cause nothin's more fun.

You really are dumb? Did you not read my post and someone else's which indicated quite clearly that your A times B times C way of gauging system power is goddamn ridiculous and actually not a way of gauging power at all? If it was then this argument would never have happened with SNES/Genesis, PSX/N64, Xbox/GC, ever, because you could always just pull out your calculator and plug in the numbers. Unfortunately, things aren't that easy.

Your entire first post in this thread is wrong because you cant say that. What you said is analogous to Sega saying Saturn is a 64-bit system because it has two 32-bit CPUs. You are:

W
R
O
N
G

You realize you just bumped it up to the top by posting that.

PS: As did I.

Random comment: The Xbox is the only system I've ever owned where 50% of the titles I've bought weren't made in Japan. It's odd, really...

My great-grandmother had 2 spider monkeys in Peru while I was growing up.

But yes, thankfully, you are the only one that can claim the nuts on your back thing.

So the Jaguar wasn't 64 bit?? I DID the math and everything ;_;
