dabookerman Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 i will buy it, bound to be better then the rev controller
Tyson Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Yes, but the third party can...which is the point.
nicolasmasset Posted January 7, 2006 Author Posted January 7, 2006 i will buy it, bound to be better then the rev controller Haha, nice one! :p
Innovance Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 wow some of your comments in this thread are just embarassing
Enigma Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 It just goes to show how pathetic Sony really is. They can´t do anything on their own so when someone (usually Nintendo) comes up with something they instantly copy it. And in this case, they let a 3rd party do it so they´ll take the blame instead.

Just my two cents, now if sony copy's it and makes it a standard in one of her consoles...I hope they get a lawsuit.
Enigma Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I doubt the third party had any contact with sony for that. Sony can't have control over the third party's... It wouldn´t surprise me one bit.
ViPeR Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I can't see Sony or Microsoft copying it until at least next gen. Even if they do Nintendo are still one gen ahead. The revolution isn't just intended for Nintendo alone, it's the industry as a whole. This can only be good news if they think it's the new way to play.
pedrocasilva Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 It wouldn´t surprise me one bit.still, it's diferent than putting Sony brandmark in there... sony should stop that controller from happening, by contacting the manufacters... I doubt they will, that's already a misstep for them, but ordering for a cheap controller like that to be made...I can't see Sony or Microsoft copying it until at least next gen. Even if they do Nintendo are still one gen ahead. The revolution isn't just intended for Nintendo alone, it's the industry as a whole. This can only be good news if they think it's the new way to play.Microsoft even kind of said good things about the controller, so I guess they respect it, now sony... I have my doubts, anyway, when nintendo says industry standard is like saying "those bastards will copy us, again" it's not like they want it to happen (to be standard). nintendo is trying to revolutionize the industry for herself, and alone, otherwise they would contact Sony and M$ and give them the controller.

True, they are still a business and need to guarantee sales. Giving the competitors thier ideas would just be stupid. They know it'll be copied if it sells, I guess they're just delaying the inevitable by having a slow release of information. We still don't know what the other revolutionary feature is and considering we've already heard about the controller it must be something much more outstanding.
BlueStar Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 However the revo controller is remarkably similar to this, http://www.gamesindustry.biz/news.php?aid=8294 , revealed months and months before Nintendo first announced their "revolution" in control

Innovance Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Because that was when Gyrations took their motion sensing technology to nintendo, and nintendo proceeded to invest in the company. Further more nintendo didnt create the controller the morning before TGS
YenRug Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 However the revo controller is remarkably similar to this, http://www.gamesindustry.biz/news.php?aid=8294 , revealed months and months before Nintendo first announced their "revolution" in control The difference: The one in that article is a motion sensing only. The Revolution is motion and positioning sensing.
mario114 Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 To think we wondered why ninty try and keep there technology secret intill the last possible moment.
BlueStar Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Because that was when Gyrations took their motion sensing technology to nintendo, and nintendo proceeded to invest in the company. Further more nintendo didnt create the controller the morning before TGS Aye, I'm sure that 3motion put theirs together on the bus on the way to E3.
triforcemario Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Aye, I'm sure that 3motion put theirs together on the bus on the way to E3.Thats where you are wrong, back in about 2001/2002/2003, it was leaked that Nintendo were investing in Gyroscopic technology.
MikeMania Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 This looks like one of those toys you buy at the flea markets.
Blackfox Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Hey guys, Bad news - i hear this new 3rd party controller comes equipped with old SNES games in its memory. Bad news for Nintendo i guess, Sony fanboys wil get there hands on precious Nintendo goodness.

Bad news for Nintendo i guess, Sony fanboys wil get there hands on precious Nintendo goodness. how does the controller run them anyway? it comes with a CD/DVD? then it's legal to have a copy of it for 24 hours in US then? go after them nintendo. If that's true they are really going after the quick buck
goku21 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 The copie is crap! Laserpointer! P.S.:Revmote doesn´t use gyroscopic tech only , it kind of analyses the move in realtime. Other way it,couldnt be so precisely like said about it.
King_Mushroom Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 considering Rev uses true motion capture, as aposed to the age old 'laser' system i hardly consider this to be an innovation at all. I may have incredible faith in nintendo but there controller will be quality and smooth as butter to handle. This will hardly/ have (if any)integrated software support and will fail miserably.
Pit-Jr Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Hey guys, Bad news - i hear this new 3rd party controller comes equipped with old SNES games in its memory. Bad news for Nintendo i guess, Sony fanboys wil get there hands on precious Nintendo goodness. Theyre very real and theyve been around for some time now. My sister bought me one that played 100 NES games, including duck hunt and super mario bros and what struck me was that it was obviously pirated, yet they were being sold in a kiosk right in the middle of the mall. On the bright side, the pirate controllers are incredibly ugly and unappealing to anyone thats not a die-hard Nintendo fan and alot of the games didnt even work.
mike-zim Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 this is tacky. so it is right up sony's ally. oh well good luck to them. i hope they make thousands of them get sued for damages have to withdraw them and loose a shed load of cash. that'll teach em.
