DM>  Well have you ever actually played it? You can see where everyone is
DM>  is but it still is surprisingly fun. There are still ways to surprise
DM>  your oppponent. But Goldeneye isn't as fun as Duke was. Goldeneye had
DM>  too much slowdown.
Yes, I have played it, or else I wouldn't be commenting on it.  You don't
see me putting comments on that wrestling game, WCW vs NWO I think?  Why?
Cause I haven't played it..
I didn't like Golden Eye 64, it was just TOO unrealistic!  I mean, you shoot
a guy in his butt, he just scratches it, doesn't even turn aroun!  You can
kill him by shooting his foot 3 times!  And the guys disappeer right in front
of you.. Also, in some levels, there's an UNLIMITED number of bad guys, that
sux!  Cause you can't really have a strategy, like, I'll hide behind this
wall, then kill him, bla bla bla.. Well, in some levels you can, but most of
them, tehre's a part where you pass by, there's no one.. you open a door, and
then suddenly, there's 3 people in the room you just came out of!
DM>  Well of coarse. But you can see if the stores are doing well and the
DM>  crime and stuff like that. The faces on the people don't really
DM>  matter. You hate carts don't you.
Personnaly, I prefre having my little radar on top showing me where I need to
put police stations/hospitals/etc..etc.. than having to zoom in the streets
and see the same people everywhere..
DM>  I read that you can import pictures from the TV and your VCR and
DM>  play around with them. I also read something about making new
DM>  characters in games too. I wonder what the resolution of the
DM>  screen will be on it. I hope they can get it at 640x480.
DM>  Cuz' 256 x 256, or even 320x240(or 320x200) would suck.
I can see that happening, the Import Pictures from TV and your VCR.. But I
haven't heard anything on the subject itself..  As for the resolutiuon?  I
doubt they'll put it that big.. I mean, their console is aimed at a "kid"
audience.. And not artists...
