Madden 2004: How it differs
Well, some of the details were known, but this is taken from the interview at IGN.
On PS2:
Quote:
On the PS2 side we haven't spared any expense for the online experience. Last year we had a real stable game online out there, but this year it's even that much better. We're going to make it a better experience by getting rid of cheaters and cheese play and have added the ability to use USB voice chat. We'll also have Tournament mode and Messenger to add to the experience.
|
On the Cube:
Quote:
The Cube has the Gameboy advance connectivity that's pretty cool. There are actually two levels of connectivity. One, when you just plug your GBA in, and one when you plug in your GBA with Madden GBA in it. This will enable you to unlock exclusive content depending on whether or not you have the cartridge plugged in. There are some hidden teams, special Madden cards, and things like that. We also have this play assist thing on at all times so when the GameCube is connected to the GBA you're getting a lot of extra information on the screen like what plays you should call and things like that.
|
On the Xbox
Quote:
But Xbox has some great things, too, as we take advantage of the hard drive, we take advantage of the machine's power and texture memory, and it's just a beautiful game on the Xbox. Out of the three, I think the Xbox version looks the best. We also have soundtrack support on Xbox, so you can rip your own songs and drop those into Madden as well. The Xbox and Cube are also 480P, but not the PS2.

Re: Madden 2004: How it differs
Soundtrack support is good for Madden. 2003's songs were too few and got annoying after awhile. I bet these "special" cards and "special" teams unlockable in the 'Cube version with the GBA are probably still unlockable in the other 2 versions.

Quote:
IGN: Are those hidden teams also available on the PS2 and Xbox, but just obviously unlocked in some other fashion?
Jeremy Strausser: No, they're exclusive for GameCube. We did some exclusive things for Nintendo.

That's according to the interview.

Re: Madden 2004: How it differs
I'm hoping EB has some copies in today. This game will consume a large portion of my life.

Re: Madden 2004: How it differs
Thank you stu. That cheered me up!
lol.
And I am not sure if I am still gonna get Madden. I mean, I rented 2003 a couple of months ago, and I really sucked at it. And sucking at games is frustrating.

It's out on the 11th? Nice. I was thinking it came out on the 14th for some reason.

Re: Madden 2004: How it differs
chosing between the Ps2 and Xbox version was HARD... but being able to get the real rosters in NCAA and having online play in both Madden and NCAA made me go with the Ps2 versions.
I have yet to reserve Madden though... hopfully I can get on release without many problems.
