Since GT is all fucked up right now (thanks to EsquE's return)......looks like more RPGs in the later years of the 'Cube.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Zeus, GT was YOUR responsibility! Anyways, I hope they make a new Earthbound, I don't give a damn how many other RPG's they make just as long as I get my Earthbound. On GBA or Gamecube, it makes no difference.</div>

And also because GT is toast...why hasn't anyone made a big deal about Bioware going...

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>...Xbox exclusive?

That's huge man...at least in my opinion.

I said a long time ago, "I go where *[Bioware/Black Isle] goes...and it seems most likely that *[Bioware/Black Isle] will bring out games for the Xbox"...

So...I'm pumped!

The BEST pc RPG developer is on my platform of choice...

.....

Online Fallout? Online BG? Fallout 3? Oh wait, FO:T Online? NWN?

....wishful thinking ; )

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm not overly surprised they're exlusive. They were basically PC only anyways. Big score for Microshaft, though</div>

Rumor that they might pick up Blizzard too....

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Blizzard has yet to make a game worth buying for Console though, they release one good game for PC ever 3-4 years. Now Sid Meier and Firaxis would be a huge gain, the Civilization games on Console were actually pretty fun.</div>

Heh....I only went the Xbox route because I craved online games and 'americanized' RPGs...

As in everything else, Canada rulez!

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>But true online multiplayer in consoles isn't until next generation, so it won't be THAT big of a deal considering Blizzard is THE online company and that's where the real strength in their games lies. Besides, we still have to see just how well multi will fly in the US on the consoles\</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Right. Interplay do not actually make any games themselves! They just take games other people have made, slap their sticker on them, and ship 'em out.</div>
