[Huge News] Nintendo Reveals Revolution's Controller
- Thread starter MKCustodial
- Start date
Well... Can someone in the know tell me what does that mean? hehehehe
It's like someone mentioned here already. It comes to a point where the race to have more power really doesn't mean anything... I mean, you have "good-looking game" competing agains "more good-looking game", even though they're both pretty much the same, and are kinda boring games to begin with. So yeah, I'm waiting for Nintendo to announce the Revo games, but I know from experience they usually go heavy on the story and experience sides, which is what I like.

Rare re-did conker..and that was AWESOME for xbox (multiplayer especially)
As for the new "retro" kick on next gen consoles..
Its a bad market thanks in large part to Emulation. Its been around for almost a decade at this point and MOST of the people who want to play their "old games" are already doing so for free on their home computers.
One of the main reasons I originally bought an Xbox was for the hard drive. Once I modded it (yeah yeah) I not only put a much larger hard drive in there (300 gigs) but I loaded it up with a LOT of emulation software so I can do the classics on my TV. (Im a emu dev BTW so I know a thing or two regarding emulation). The PSP is gaining popularity now with the underground gaming community because of the ability some have found to run homebrew software on it (aka..emulation). Im sure a few will pay for the "retro" service, but it really shouldnt be a MAJOR focus of the system release.

It means it's going to be expensive...
As for Nintendo, why are they so against voiceover?

speaking from a former gamer turned non-gamer, I gotta say Nintendo is ont he right track by totally going for soemthing completely new. The new controller concept is brilliant IMHO and would definately take gaming to a whole new world and open new possibilities as well as attract a large number of people who've always been afraid to tackle the large adn ever changing world of gaming. I'm definately getting me on of em Revolutions, in fact, I think it's the only 3rd gen console I'll be getting
This is not the first time I'm hearing about this U-Force. What is it? I do remember the Power Glove, even though I don't think it ever came to Brazil.

A really horribly non-responcive controller free input device. The idea was cool (wave your hand in front of it etc)...but it really didnt work at all..

If this is going to be such a big deal, I believe that Microsoft and Sony will come up with something similar. As for me, I'll stick with a traditional controller for now.
Bring on XBOX 360 and Knights of the Old Republic 3!

I just read Sony is pushing PS3 to be released "sometime late in 2006" in Japan, no word on the US and the rest of the world. You guys think it may have something to do with Revo, since up until now they were so sure they'd be launching in the beginning of the year?

Maybe...I wish Microsoft would have waited a little longer, but it's a little late for that. They're probably about to start manufacturing them for the Holiday Season. Initially they'll sell a bunch, but I'm not so sure it will be able to compete with PS3 when it finally comes out.MKCustodial said:
