Ok, I understand the caution with the controller - the whole, Ill play it/see more before making a judgment. But all people are saying is that the 'potential' is there, the controller is pretty amazing, whether the devlopers use it effectively or not as another (and more important) matter, but the controller itself is pretty incredible and opens up possibilties more than, well, anything. I was going to say the leap to 3d but I think this has the potetnial to take gaming further. Its pretty spectaculr. I just hope it gets used to its full potetnial.

Can you please explain to me how the nex controller was 1d? Oh, and who is the dick who says they dont want to play controls on a remote. Its not a remote, its the shape of a remote but its not. What kind of an argument is that anyway, if I want to play games on a remote ill use my tele?! Do you realise how closed minded you sound?

I dont think they had FPS in mind when creating it, though I think they could be pretty amazing on the system - but im afraid to say it wont be about what has the best control or the best graphics, it will be how does a developer make the most money from the game they are working on (enforced by the publisher) simple as that. Current situation is that NIntendo will not be as well supported, but its a new gerneration and all it will take is a 1st person Killer App to get FPS fans on board and the rest will follow. Enter Zoonami

Depends on the casing - if its ipod white then Ill get the white one, if its a chep plastic ill get he black - I personally think these colours will be the only ones at launch. As front he controllers, ill undoubtedly get 3 extras at launch - white, black, red and green! I prefer your av RATM.

I was only kidding. I feel really guilty now!!

Thanks for trying pestneb but you didnt do a great job! Basically in a football game you need to do different types of through balls, change player, different crosses, skills, runs, long balls, different tackles etc etc. Im trying but I cant see how it is possible with the rev controller, other than the add on which makes it a normal controller - I dont have a problem with this, but someone said they couldnt see a game that WOULDNT work, well this and probablymany more.

smalldude76 please change your picture, its well annoying I think both will happen - sony and MS will deem it stupid and Nintendo will prove to everyone it is not. We'll see who was stupid if or when they copy the device. I know what I think will happen.....

Ok, the Tele doesnt register the dvice, the sensors do - yes it will work when you point it away and yes it will work on a 80" screen!

I think the controller is as radical (too early to say revolutionary until it actually becomes industry standard) as Nintendo said and most of us said was impossible due to the nature of the internet - millions giving ideas and mockups, but they still out did us.\ Personally I'm extremely excited by this and has literally got me excited about home gaming again - I think it will produce some absolutely stunning games and create new genres. I love the idea of the add-ons and the possiblties with this, and also how nongamers will take to it. The negatives could be that it could have the reverse affect of what nintendo expects - that it will be a lot easier to use, I personally think it could alienate people, I mean, if we didnt read loads about it, see the video would we really know what to do with it? Also, the whole 3rd party issue - if they embrace it, port their games, creta new games, utilise its functions, then Nintendo really could go back to number one, if they dont then it will plant nintendo in 3rd place. Im fine with that, though it would be nice to get the best of both worlds without having to buy two consoles. Personally, I think NIntendo will do it, make it work, it WILL become industry standard and they will rise in popularity.

Ok, how would pro evo work?! I'm as excited as anyone but i think theres a few games that wouldnt work and would NEED the controller shell - simply because of the lack of buttons needed to do the extensive amount of moves!!

No, like I said in the other thread (which is probably going to be locked soon) the technology is already in the controller so you odnt HAVE to buy these to play the games and they wil be cheap because or well be buying is the shells of the various things!! Nintendo may have just cracked it you know!!!

You have to applaud them, they are fucking brave. I absolutely love them for it!! If it works then they will revolutionise the industry, if people dont take to it, well Im sure the Rev will be even more niche than the cube, but well still love it (Oh, ill also lose even more faith with the general public). Just imagine Mario Kart, controlling the movement with your hand, hold onto the B trigger to go into a slide and you have to jerk your hand to do the slide turbo - great stuff!! I also know someone with one arm who has always wanted to play games, there was a one handed controller once but it was shit.

To be fair its got the wheel on too! Now why are people moaning that this is going to cost LOTS??? Firstly, dont people have to buy wheels and guns for other consoles? Yes. And secondly, the technology is already in the controller, meaning all were buying is shells, meaning they will be very cheap!! I personally cant fucking wait!!!

Its going to be crazy. Were going to get about 4 controllers in one 1. The Rev controller/pointer for playing Rev games 2. Turn it on its side for a NES controller 3. SNES shell for Snes games 4. N64 shell for N64 games 5. Rev controller shell for playing more traditional games and ports (with added Rev bonuses of course) Okay so thats five. I think its great because it expands the range of possibilities and noone can say - "it cant play that game or this game". But - how much are these shells gonna cost? Where are we going to store them? And we're going to have to get lots of them for multiplayer gaming?? Unless theres just one shell which suits Snes, N64 and ports!! The N64 controller would be good for Snes games actually!!

Ha! The controller gets revealed and still people think its going to be VR!! Brilliant!

They did actually say the 'normal-like' controller shell is similar to the wavebird. but the button layout wont be, thered be no point. Unless its to utilise the new technology too!!

No, I was being serious, I just wondered why this thread in particular - it being the official one and all completely died before it got going!!

I agree, I was really looking forward to a few games - Batallion Wars for example, I was (only in passing) thinking of possibly getting an 360, bt now it all seems boring, even when I was playing the cube this evening I was thinking about the revolution and how 'old' it's already starting to feel (the normal playing method) and thats with just afew hours worth of thought!! Crazy!

Yup yup, now its time to look at some games, please Nintendo. Stop showing us what we can do with the controller and show us what we will do with it!!

That's exactly how I feel, theres some great games for the cube, but they havent interested me as much, I thought it was cause I was getting older and just bored with games now, but then the DS came out and I love the innovation. The revolution looks incredible I just cant wait, god I hope we dont have to wait over a year to get one!!!

Hmm, in that Merrick interview (not the elephant man) he said (or hinted at) not showing showing the games until you can play them, and youll play them at E3. Personally this is a BAD idea, they need to show the games around 360 launch, then have them playable at E3, hopefully a few months away from launch. I seriously cant see a pre Autumn 06 launch, which puts the 360 a frighteningly one year ahead!!!

Tricky one, I think the market will close up. I think NIntendo will END UP being number one, maybe next gen. Im 99% certain Nintendo will be number one in Japan, and 3rd in the west - its all about HOW MUCH BY!! My prediction will be Sony, NIntendo, Microsoft!! But very close!

Yeah, thats the thing I worry about most, the pad flying out of hands!! Especially on frantic multiplayer seshs!!!

How come NOONE commented on it and noone is having a discussion? This is bizarre!

Well, of course there are some extreme reactions, its a pretty extreme change in control. Personally, the shock has worn off and now I am as excited as ever, especially that a 'normal' controller has been announced too for the 3rd party games. I cant wait, going to import if theres more than a couple of months difference between launches. Slightly concnerned at how some games are going to play - Pro Evo to name one!! But im sure it will be fab. Im pretty confident we'll look back in a few years when this control is the norm. Fact is, Nintendo helped create this industry and is the ONLY company that tries to evolve the industry, thats why I (and probably everyone else) loves them!! Ive said it beofre and this confirms it - they are about the games, thats what they truly care about!!
