Posted October 14, 2005 Are the internal specs of the Rev already finalized? They havent shown us any games, which makes me wonder if they have decided to beef up the specs a notch to make theyre games a lil more...presentable....when compared to 360. Or are they back on theyre "Its too soon..we'll be copied" trip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 14, 2005 Afaik some of the specs are only finalized shortly before the console is released but Nintendo doesn't reveal much so we actually don't know if they have finalized the specs already but I guess not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2005 A few months ago Retro Studios were complaining about the ever changing specs. Don't know if it's still a problem though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2005 Specs are final if you bought the console in a store - before much can happen. Of course Nintendo will change the specs but there is a certain deadline. I remember that the Gamecube specs changed a few months before release. The CPU got from 400 to 485MHz and the GPU got a downgrade in MHz. I am almost sure that Nintendo could already tell us for what technical specifications they are aiming but they have reasons not to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2005 i think they have confirmed the specs but will most likely not say what they are until the last minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2005 A few months ago Retro Studios were complaining about the ever changing specs. Don't know if it's still a problem though. Wow didnt know that, but we gotta think about that, are they downgrading the specs to make revolution even smaller? Or beefing it up so it doesnt eat dust left by competitors? But, I think nintendo will confirm the specs at a date AFTER both of the other next gen consoles are released, just incase there is any other revolutionary aspects to the machine. Jim merrick said he was suprised by lack of info nintendo was giving out, because he said there was so much more to show off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2005 I think Nintendo might not actually unveil specs. There are strong rumours that Nintendo's visuals can equal the competitors', but with less powerful spec machine. If poor specs are released (even if visuals match Xbox 360 and PS3), it might backfire the way those pre-release 'honest' specs of GC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2005 Thats actually a good idea, not to unveil the specs, and let the games do the talking. Of course, if they dont unveil them someone else will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
