Posted November 3, 2005 That is an interesting explanation but could you explain better how does it works? how can we never lose the viewpoint...? I don't get it.... I've no idea where the speech or info from Nintendo was, it was ages ago. It was vague anyway and I didn't even understand it. I just took it as a new camera system.

Posted November 4, 2005 That is an interesting explanation but could you explain better how does it works? how can we never lose the viewpoint...? I don't get it.... Problem with traditional camera systems is that camera doesn't always understand that there is something between camera and object that is followed. If I understood correctly, by using this routine, camera always "knows" if there is anything between it and object that is followed. Code can then automatically adjust camera for better view or turn problem giving object to invisible. Result of this is that there shouldn't be ever problem that camera would literally be inside any walls or that something big covers whole view between camera and followed object. Does this make any sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 4, 2005 but isn't that already in games? In Mario Sunshine it worked well....I can't see what can they imagine that doesn't exist already.... You see... though it isn't allowed in EU, you can patent software innovations in USA. Game companies haven't usually done that, but during last two years patenting your gaming ideas has been more common than before. For example, Microsoft is the company who owns patent for "custom soundtracks in videogames", Nintendo owns "Sanity system for videogames" and Konami has patent for dancing games that use four buttons. I wouldn't be really surprised that Nintendo just wants to patent stuff for sake of patenting, as they can be very valuable assests in future. Plus because Nintendo has lots of money and it has innovated lots of stuff during these years, they also can defend their patents successfully in the court. That was why Immersion Corporation sued only Sony and Microsoft about having analog sticks in their controllers, because their patent wouldn't had hold any water against Nintendo.

Posted November 5, 2005 well i dont really get this patent thing but anyway it6 looks interestring and it would be good if nintendo had another surprise for us ninty fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2005 I don't think the patent means anything for the Revolution. It seems to me that since they already revealed the "revolutionary" feature (controller mechanisms), that there's nothing else to reveal. This 3D projection would be quite a big feat, but it's possibly a patent they're saving for the next generation after the Revolution...or sometime in the future. But then again, Nintendo has been known to make worthless patents that they never used...maybe they try to keep ideas from competitors. Oh, and that name sucks.

Posted November 6, 2005 im 150% shure the images on the "Nintendo Futurna" are fake 1. Why would Nintendo use a poorly made, inaccurate model of the revolution? 2. The place where the image is coming from is for the DVD expansion... 3. the LED Light Amplification Modules or whatever sounds fake, in fact i cant find anything about them on google.

Posted November 6, 2005 Speculating is kewl, but not when you try to force people to believe it and claim its real and not fake. We were made curious, just dont go stating what you dont know. Nintendo Futurna? That is the worst name i've ever heard for a console. I'd like them to give it the name: 'The Nintendo' since its nice and short, no weird names, and it states that they mean business this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
