Looks cool...but yet it wont feel like your playing a console...it'll be like playing the games on sky but with amazing graphics(we hope).
-
Just read about this at BBC. What the hell?
-
It's an interesting concept whose success depends entirely on proper execution. It needs to work accurately and intuitively. Developers need to take the time to make sure their games take full advantage its capabilities AND work around its shortcomings. When I play a video game, my mindset should be, "hey this is a fun game," not, "hey, look what my controller can do."
-
I want to have sex with it, right now.
-
Are you female? Because if so, you totally could. I mean, look at that thing. If it has force-feedback, the Rez article on gamegirladvance (http://www.gamegirladvance.com/archives/2002/10/26/sex_in_games_rezvibrator.html#000141) will be nothing compared to what happens to this thing.
-
Nintendo could really pull this off- and if they do... this could be the most entertaining group system yet.
-
Good ol' Nintendo and their wacky ideas. I still hope the compatibility between the DS and the Revolution that was hinted at is still in the works.
-
I think the compatibility will still be there- I just really hope nintendo works hard on this- cause it could be amazing, but if they drop the ball, a whole style of gaming will be more or less gone.
-
It looks really cool, but it looks like you'll have to stay put while playing the game, what with the... controller movement thingy and all.
And it doesn't look like the kind of controller you can throw against the wall in frustration, which is a shame.
-
See, I wonder about that- the movie nintendo showed had a couple people really hopping around, which confused me- it wouldn't seem to be able to work that way, I assume...
Oh well, I imagine we shall all see.

That is beauty in its purest form. If Jesus played video games, he would have one of these.

Unless he needed to keep a hand free for blessings and the like- I could see that.

Halo 3's dual wielding would be NOTHING compared to two of those in hand.

Well it looks like Nintendo will soon be joining Sega
seriously though Nintendo keeeps saying that they are not competing with Sony and Microsoft, the they are going into a more inovative directions rather thean jus bumping up the eye candy, but when it comes down to it they are competing in the same market and while it is true that the other two have made no real creative leaps forward what exactly has Nintendo done thats so great aside from giving us the Horrible N64 andGC controllers and nothing but new Mario and Zelda.
It's a big risk if it works great they still have to deal with coming up with actual new titles if it doesn't they are done.
-
here are my thoughts on this, blatantly copied and pasted from a post i made about it over at Dumbrella:
i'm gonna have to say that it looks like shit. even if you spin that thing around it is still tiny and awful. my hands are going to get cramps holding it.
a prediction:

THIS BUILDING'S TOTALLY BURNING DOWN!
AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES, AND NINTENDO'S SALES HAVE SLOWLY DRIED UP!
-
Interesting use of Modest Mouse lyrics, but I'll have to disagree.
This is something that could really work or crash and burn, depending on the execution. But the idea is a very good one.
-
"Cocknocker-
Oh, this isn't the film quotes game.
Sorry.
....
It looks like a dildo for chrissakes.
-
Lets just hope that nintendo pulls it off.
Hell, I can't wait to have one of these with 4 controllers hooked up just for hanging with my friends, if it's as cool as it seems.
-
You know what's an even dumber idea than these controllers? Controlling games with a touchscreen! Now THAT would be seriously retarded. I mean ju-
*pause*
*blink blink*
nevermind
-
I think allot of people WILL give nintendo the benefit of the doubt because of that... many of them still haven't removed the foot from their mouth over the DS.
-
anyone who cant realize the potential here is an idiot :)
-
Funny thing is- every place I visit online that has a forum that includes videogames, is either incredibly one side or another. Each has a few people who argue... but... Well, I just really want to see what they can pull off with this.
Now I know what he meant saying that after this next Zelda, there will be a huge change in the next one.
-
well, there is a controller dock for the remote, but honestly i think the idea is awful.
-
This is something that could really work or crash and burn, depending on the execution. But the idea is a very good one.
I agree, actually; I just saw those pictures and had to make the reference. I really want Nintendo to succeed with this, because I like the company and because I feel like innovation in the gaming industry could use a shot in the arm.
-
it's not the kind of controller you can rest in your lap and play for hours only feeling a little gamer's thumb. i think it looks really hard on the wrists, i don't think it will be easy to go on gaming binges without feeling the physical after effects.
-

If you're gonna get sore swinging a remote control around, you've either played more than you should or you're incredibly out of shape.
-

i can realise the potential, i just don't see it as something that 3rd-party game developers, who are already looking ath Nintendo unfavourably will be itching to try to develop interesting and compelling games for.
if it's a choice between thinking and just going with what they know will make them money, they will say "fuck this" and pump out a few hundred more figthing/racing/fps titles for the xbox2/ps3.
-
I have to admit, there could be potential but they could fuck it up. Their margin of error is terribly small- and this can only lead to increased game prices that most gamer demographics (12-19) can't really afford.
-
but... thats not really the only gamer demographic anymore.
I mean, people will wait to see how it goes- might not be a huge release... But once they have a few games that are really... revolutionary, then people will buy them like hotcakes, I imagine.
-
When my one friend came running into school on thursday declaring "THE CONTROLLER FOR REVOLOUTION IS HERE!" I was expecting something asthetically pleasing, Mediocre in size, and overall coll looking. What I saw, was a sideways and elongated NES controller with some LED's built into it. That's right, I Hate Nintendo now. I am no fanboy, no. I own every other Nintendo system. However, With this recent trend of "thinking outside the box" as Nintendo puts it, all we get now, are little gimmicky pieces of CRAP. Think about it. Can you even imagine trying to play a video game with only hand? Even if there is a infa- red sensormabob on the end, It's still going to be bloody hard to do. It just isn't practical.
-
See, obviously you haven't looked into it all that much- many games are going to use both hands, with a seperate controller piece. Frankly, I think it shouldn't be hard to use...
And I have to say- thats what allot of people said about the DS- dumb idea, wouldn't work well... who would want to play a game using a touchscreen?
So, I still say wait and see.
-
I think it'll be interesting, to say the least. I'm not going to say anything about the controller because I haven't actuall tried it. (Unlike, like, half of the people who have ever looked at it ever). Although I will say the design is kinda neat.
-
OK, I agree . . the controller is an amazing new way of playing games . . . but it's too new.
Grab your TV remote (if you can find it). Grip it tightly and just hold it like that for about 15 minutes. Not comfortable is it? Holding your hand in a "C" / Soda can style way will get very annoying, especially if you plan on playing with the thing for an hour or more. With a regular controller, your hand can relax on and take shape to the controller.
Maybe if they were to offer a regular format controller to start with and then have an optional controller or maybe include it with the regular format controller, the Revolution wouldn't go down in flames.
The end is near . . . not for Nintendo, but for the Revolution- over before it started. I'm not saying the Revolution won't sell, but it'll end up conceding (like they did with Gamecube).
-
It looks LIKE a remote control, but it isn't one. Of course nintendo is going to make it comfortable to hold.
-
If you like, actually looked at the fucking pictures Grohlly boy, You'd notice that they actually molded it to fit the hand.
-
you guys really like to resort to personal attacks when someone offers a different opinion to your conversation.
-
It's because insulting people is a great way of getting them to agree with you.
-
I'm not saying the Revolution won't sell, but it'll end up conceding (like they did with Gamecube).
Exactly.
It'll still make alot of money, even if it does come 3rd.
They're making a specific audience of gamers happy[ those who like innovation and originality] and making a pretty solid buck.
More power to em'!
-
I believe that nintendo actually earned the most profit this generation, probably mostly on software sales.
-
^
Not a chance. Seriously
No.
-
It's entirely possible. What people never seem to grasp (be it about videogames, computers, or whatever) is that total revenue != profit. In other words, you can sell a huge amount of whatever it is, but if your costs are also huge then you aren't making much money. Conversely, you can make sufficient profit off smaller sales if you're intelligent about spending it in the first place.
-
The thing is that Nintendo maked good games. If you look at the repitoire of the other systems, you have nothing, really. PS2 has a couple good ones, and XBox has even less.
-
^
Not a chance. Seriously
No.
Qouted from The Economist September 17th - 23rd 2005 issue. "And because most of the money in the game industry is made from software, not hardware, Nintendo makes the most profit among gaming firms, even though it only has a 15% market share, notes Paul Jackson of Forrester, a consultancy."

gamecube controller is the most comfortable of the current gen .
-
You missed the part where it is modular to the point where it can get a shell and it will just be a regular controller. Here I'll just show you.
This is the core controller unit.
(http://www.tfracetrack.com/collection/decepticons/throttle2.jpg)
(http://www.tfracetrack.com/collection/decepticons/throttle1.jpg)
This is the core controller unit when it is inserted into the included dual analog controller shell that doesn't just hang by a tether. You will use it for things like platformers and fighting games.

Basically, I don't know how you could turn that down.
-

You make a good point, but think about it; it was the original and biggest demographic. After that comes the older gen and girls (no disrespect to the women. at all. much love. please don't stab me.) but most kids from those ages can't afford higher prices!

Yeah, but since nintendo isn't going with expensive HD dvd drives or Blu-Ray DVD drives, it should be the cheapest system in the next gen.
So, the price thing could easily backfire- especially if nintendo can put out things that appeal to all types. A good metroid, a good Zelda- I would play those anyday on this new system over most things on the other machines.
-
the only reason to buy a Nintendo console is for Nintendo games, their 3rd party support is almost non-existant, so it'll be interesting to see how they develope games to take advantage of the controller (which i don't really like, i prefer the boomerang double dildo for ps3)
-

I have been party to some long rant/discussions in which it has been concluded that the stagnation in the industry comes down to the homogenous gamer demographic. Kudos to Nintendo for looking to the future and trying to mix things up, as opposed to the inbreeding that results from the short-sighted make-a-buck-immediately approach of most companies.
-
Figured I would link to this- a rather good essay speculating about nintendo's ideas for this console- http://lostgarden.com/2005/09/nintendos-genre-innovation-strategy.html

VERY YES.
I would also suggest that anyone who is unequivocally pooh-pooing this controller consider the fact that Nintendo probably paid a number of people a great deal of money to ensure that it doesn't suck. They've made controller mistakes in the past, but they're not idiots.
-
I secede to your wisdom, O Wighty (wise + mighty) gaming gods of the interweb.
:D
-
don't get me wrong, i appreciate the effort they are going to to step outside gaming design paradigms and forge new territory in the uncharted wastelands of the imagination or whatever the hell, i just wish that fanboys wouldn't wank on so much about it.
yes, it will push the limits of what games do at the moment.
no, i don't think it will sell all that well.
yes, this is a goddamn shame.

"You gotta think outside the box, man!"

Don't you know this is a discussion about video games?
Get out and take your heathen facts with you!
Although I will add that the above probably includes Nintendo's portable-console sales, so a strictly GC/Xbox/PS2 comparison would probably skew differently.

1. With something like the Rev controller, you can't just put it out as an add on, it has to be part of the installed base so it's actually worth it for game developers to work with it.
2. I don't get how holding this thing is going to be any different from holding either end of a PS2 controller. Long knobbly bit, buttons up near the thumb... hell you've even got a groove in there for your index finger, so you don't have to reach up to the top of the controller for the trigger buttons.
-
Vgcats summed it up quite nicely. I'm willing to give Nintendo the benefit of the doubt as well just because of RE4 and ToS... there's fight left in them! Also, judging from the trailer, I imagine there'll be some kind of sword fighting game... I hope! I mean, Tiger Friggin' Electronics has done it, so why not Nintendo?
-
You mean there are people who still watch television? How quiant!

(http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/article/651/651559/understanding-the-revolution-controller-20050916041026412-000.jpg)
This is a mock-up, but before you get your pants in a twist, perhaps you should consider the fact that it might not look like that, but apparently there will be a cradle for it.
Change is good anyway.
-
Good point, this is just the first public mock up. Isn't the Revolution not even scheduled till first quarter 06?
-
You and your liberal thinking.
Can someone tell me if this is bad? When I first scrolled down and saw that picture, my mind was screaming "RAPE! RAPE! RAPE!"
-
Innovation is good an all, but, you know, I'd like to hear more about games. You know, the things we use the system for.
I'm expecting smaller developers to jump on the Revolution because of the signifigantly lower developing costs compared to the PS3 and XBOX 360. Since RPG's are pretty much the only games I play (besides the occasional out-of-the-ordinary action game), so this may be good news.
-
One of the other scenarios that Gamespy reported on had the long thin controller in one hand and an ergonomic, hand-molded button device in the other.
Jarne, I read that Economist article too, and found it fascinating. For all the hullabaloo about how fast & spacious the XBox was, Microsoft ended up with less than half the market share that Sony got, and lost money. There is plenty of evidence that bigger + fast does not equal better.
Also keep in mind that the GameCube was generally considered a failure, had the least appeal of all of that generation's devices for third party developer, and still allowed Nintendo to turn the greatest profits. The moneymakers were games that Nintendo developed itself. There is no apparent reason why Nintendo could make the Revolution a success on the basis of games it developed for its own device.
One of the demo games that Gamespy was privy too was a bass-fishing demo where twisting the controller twisted the fishing rod. Someone has already mentioned sword-fighting. What about a Harry Potter license where the controller is the wand? Think that will sell? Huh? Specially if they combine it with a multiplayer system as seamless as XBox's Live?
And as for holding a controller becoming uncomfortable -- Americans spend an average of around 5 hours a day (give or take) in front of the tube -- and since most people are flipping the channel pretty consistently, we can imagine that most people have the remote in hand for much of that period. We can imagine that the Revolution controller will be far more ergonomic than that.
So, with the industry in a state of uproar, and dozens of well known developers babbling all over the net about potential this and potential that, I think that at the very least it makes sense to reverse judgment. I see no way that you can predict to a certainty that this will crash and burn -- especially after what happened with the DS. Remember when people were saying that Sega's handheld would bury the Gameboy, because it had color & a larger screen. Yeah . . . well -- didn't quite work out that way.
<-- not a Nintendo fanboy, owns a PS2 for Katamari goodness
-
[teh sex]
okays, if there is something like that available for it from the word go, right out of the box, then i will totally get behind it. that is pretty cool!
-
If they don't make a new Duck Hunt and Hogans Alley I wil die 50 times and then some.
-
Nintendo is aiming for a niche market, so why not make a controler that is a bit different to the norm? Sure, they're taking a risk, but I would back Nintendo to pull it off I think.
Also, I thing maybe waiting until we've actually used it before we start screaming about how uncomfortable and unweildy it is might be a good idea.
-
I think what nintendo is doing with the controller may be analogus to MS adding the scroll-wheel to the mouse. At first evryone was like "why the fuck would i need something like that?" now try giving someone a mouse without a wheel and you'll get it thrown at your head.
-
^ i disagree wholeheatedly.
revo isnt adding one thing thats a little odd, its redefining the controller. big difference.
-
owns a PS2 for Katamari goodness
What's up with that? Katamari Damacy is totally a Nintendo-style game. But whatever, fair play to Sony for luring the Katamari people to their system.
-
IRT FifthFiend: Damn, I didn't think of that. Portable sales probably did contribute most of that. But still, Microsoft did lose money on the Xbox this generation and I'm not sure about Sony but that at least puts Nintendo at second place.
IRT Moiche: Bear in mind that Microsoft was trying to gain part of the market and where fully aware that they would lose money this generation.
And now, to talk to everyone: I remember reading somewhere that Nintendo had large amounts of cash in reserve (4 billion? don't hold me to that 'cus it's probably wrong), so they can afford to take risks. Even if the Revolution does crash and burn, Nintendo won't go away.
-
What's up with that? Katamari Damacy is totally a Nintendo-style game. But whatever, fair play to Sony for luring the Katamari people to their system.
I know at least two nintendo fanboys who got a ps2 for the sole purpose of playing Katamari Damacy.
-
^ i disagree wholeheatedly.
revo isnt adding one thing thats a little odd, its redefining the controller. big difference.
Remember the N64 controller? Remember how the first time you saw it, before holding it, you said "What the fuck is this? How the bloody shtifuck is this going to work? That loosk awful!"
Then, you used it. And said "HOLY SHIT THIS THIS WORKS HAUGHAAUGHGUAH!"
that si what I think is going to happen with the Rev controller.
-
I think we can all agree the rev controller is actually a fully functional lightsaber.
Oh man, that would kick so much ASS.
-
Attach two controls together and we have a starwars game where you play Darth Maul.
-
If you think about it, one controller would be enough. You wouldn't actually need two controllers because they'd be attached.
The next step once you have motion tracking controllers is to get a head-mounted display. Finally all that lame VR hype would actually be true.
-
THE FUTURE IS NOW (almost)!
-
THE FUTURE IS 2006! (finally - I thought we would never get there)
-
I thought I'd never get there. Psycho bitch-ass parents.
Maybe Trollsturmer was right. Murder suicide is a good date...for my parents.
Also, my new sig is amazing. <3.
Is it true that the Revolution will be backwards-compatible with the other Nintendo games?
-
Yes, it will be backwards compatible. Gamecube discs can be put into the Revolution drive and the other games will be available online for an as yet undetermined price. I don't think the GCN discs will be available online though.
-
Undetermined my ass. Nazi-bitches will sell for too much as far as I'm concerned.
-
THE FUTURE IS 2006! (finally - I thought we would never get there)

God forbid they want to make money off something they made (or licensed for their systems) instead of being ripped off by a bunch of people using roms and emulators! This automaticaly makes them comparable to a genocidal regime!

Goddamn Right.

in addition to my previous recant and profession of love for the new controller let me just say that there was an awesome article about what Nintendo does best linked from just about everywhere presently.
Nintendo's Genre Innovation Strategy: Thoughts on the Revolution's new controller (http://lostgarden.com/2005/09/nintendos-genre-innovation-strategy.html)
choice quotes:
Nintendo makes the majority of their money by leveraging their brand recognition during the early to mid-stages of a genre’s life cycle. The power of the Mario character can establish a Nintendo game as an early genre king and help tap into a new market segment for great profit. However, as they get later into the life cycle, the standardization of the genre mechanics and the intense demands of the hardcore population reduces the power of the brand.
The Xbox, which focuses on highly mature genres catering to hardcore gamers has production costs of $1.82 million a title. The Gamecube costs half as much at $822,000 a title. The real kicker is that the Nintendo DS only costs $338,286 a title to develop for, even less than the Gameboy. Some of these costs have to do with the hardware and development kits, but for the most part they are derived from the scope of the projects. Being able to develop successful titles at 1/5th the cost of your competitors is a major boost to your bottom line.
Thus, Nintendo’s profitability and need to innovate go hand in hand. They need those new genres because the old ones quickly become too competitive and too expensive.
so basically, Nintendo make lots of money by bringing out weird new games with strong brand presence to drive sales, and seeing as they don't need to spend much on development and are the only ones in that particular genre at the time they rake in the big $$$.
once the genre is established as a breadwinner, the other dudes will sit up and take notice and start making new games in the genre, refining the ideas in those games down to a core feature set that fans of that genre enjoy, then pumping out new games that don't vary from that skeleton all that much.
we get new kinds of games, Nintendo gets lots of money, then everyone else gets lots of money when they take up the new genres and make lots of other games. everyone wins!
yay!
-
Hey est, just to mention- I linked that at the top of the page a few days ago. XD
Anyways, I really hope this all works out- I will have a fun system to play.
-
I had a strange dream. I was playing my old NES and when I looked at the back of the controller there was this slide button, on one side it said "exponential" and on the other "expediential". Weird.
-
Good find, est. Thanks for the link!
Hey est, just to mention- I linked that at the top of the page a few days ago. XD
Really? Huh, I wonder how I missed it.
-
'Twas a joke.
But I get the feeling that it'll be a tad over-the-top.
Yeah I was joking as well.
As awesome sounding as I think the controller idea is now I'm curious as how it will shape up between now and when they actually put the revolution out.
-
I am so very excited for this. I'm sure it will sell just fine. Go the way of Sega? Not anytime soon. Just look at the price tags on all the other consoles. What do you think more parents are gonna buy their kids. What do you think my hardcore gamers are gonna want? The same thing they have had for 15+ years. No, my friends. Now is the time for a REVOLUTION!
-
stuff
THIS PLANE IS DEFINITELY CRASHING AND/OR BURNING!
-
I've felt, especially lately with the glut of FPS games and "gritty" urban games that all seem the same, that there's very little more that can be done with traditional button input. XBox has added 45876q55 buttons to their controller, but really it's all the same thing. You push buttons, things happen.
I think there is plenty of room for new ideas in gaming and Nintendo is leading the way showing us that pushing buttons isn't the only way to have fun.
After all, for 2000 yen you can get your girl a vibe as an add-on.

Ahhh, the ever famous Rez vibrator.
I've allways wanted to be hanging at a friends house and find they have that- just to know if I would be entertained or disturbed.

I would be aroused. "Hey..." *raise eyebrow* "...wanna play Rez?"
