so here's an interesting debate that was sparked earlier today. to kickoff this blog about video games / movies / cartoons / anything and everything that we're all interested in... i figured i'd start it off with something video game related.
over EVERY single console ever created throughout our timeline, if you were to say that each console was alotted a 100% potential... which console was able to excercise it's most potential by a game in it's library? basically... the highest utilized console by a single game... which console is it?
in a conversation that johnny and i had... we were on the fence of it being either the gamecube or the dreamcast... both sides had our fair share of what we claimed to be the highest potential... but in my personal opinion, the gamecube hit it's highest potential with a tossup between Resident Evil 4 or the Metroid Prime series... either of those two games were a surprise to me when that little cube crunched out those wonderful games given its supposed "weaker" processing power in comparison to PS2 and XBOX... hell, it even gives games TODAY a good run for their money...
which is why I am still able to play Metroid Prime 1... released back in the holidays of 2002... and still be amazed...
last week i was simply playing Halo 3 for a bit only to switch over to Metroid Prime 1 and the only thing that took some getting used to was the different control scheme... but aesthetically, my eyes were not shunned away by the degraded graphics... in fact... i even forgot what Halo3 looked like after playing just a few short moments of Metroid Prime....
and if i can get over my fear of playing zombie games.... RE4 will definitely be played by me next...
long live video games!!!!!!
so... with that said... agree? or disagree?!?!
