Geist. A game that has loads of potential. I think that this game could be the one FPS that really causes a stir in the GCN world. Your thoughts? Here's a couple of links.

Well certainly it can't be the next Halo, looking at it telepathic roots, but certainly it'll revolutionize the FPS genre. So far the movies I've seen look kickass, I can't wait to play it.

This game is defintely going to be good and I am looking forward to it.
But I really cannot seeing this being on the level of Halo. It will be good, but somehow I cannot see this being as amazing as Halo is.
Good, yes. Halo good, doubtful.

That said, I really hope my outlook on this game ends up being proven wrong.

Good points, as I don't really believe that it will outrun Halo, per say, I just believe that the Gamecube definitely needs its own FPS, whereas the Xbox has Halo, and the PS2 has Killzone.

This game will not dethrone Halo, for the following reasons:

-Lots more hype for Halo.
-More Xbox owners than Cube owners.
-Xbox Live vs. Nintendo's Online Plan (Phantasy Star, anyone?)


Now don't get me wrong, my heart belongs to Nintendo, and I don't support Microsoft, but logically, Halo is the king of the FPS's.

I totally agree. Without a great online system, Geist has no chance of even touching the popularity that Halo has accumulated.

Though it WILL be a great game, it's just no Halo.

That is merely logic. People are not moved by logic.


Now Shempy, if you can't guess who that quote's from, I'm going to have Kitsune beat you over the head with...hmm..... nah, I'll just have her suck out your brains 3nodding .

I didn't really care for Halo. I didn't think it was that great of a game. Way overhyped, if you ask me.

I'm not a big fan of online play either, so that didn't catch my attention.

I'll probably get this game. It's looking really good.

And I don't think Halo is the King of FPSs. If anything, it would be HalfLife.

...It couldn't possibly. I haven't even heard of that game. If anything on gamecube comes close/beats halo, it will either be the new Zelda or Resident Evil 4.

Ugh...why do you people always compare games to big hits?

It'll be good. Will it sell as much as Halo? Definately not. Even though I'm not a big fan of Halo, but Halo has had FAR more hype than Geist. In this business Hype=sales. Not too many people know of Geist.
