Zero Seven Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I barely care if its went from white to grey or whatever, its gonna do the same stuff as promised when you get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 At least the massive block that connected the FHC to the other bit has gone! Yeer that was a beast of a connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Nintendo knows there is money in offering choice, Sony are launching the PS3 in 3 colours, the 360 comes with faceplates. Revolution will probably launch in black and white and then as sales dip they'll launch colour choices to increase sales a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Wow, the FHC is a lot smaller than I thought. Shouldn't be too much of a problem to hold it for longer sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunKy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 The guy on in top right photo looks like Niles from Fraiser. Oh and I will be dissapointed if the shoulder buttons are like the god awful PS controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hahaha I love that the buttons are almost exactly like the dual shock 2 and everyone is hating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McGeachie Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 From what I recall hearing about the development kits, the controllers were currently wired (and I mean to the system, not the nunchuk expansion, that's always going to be wired) so these screens seem a bit odd. It could be that they're hiding the main wire in all these shots though (or edited out), it does kind of look like this guy has a black one going down his sleeve. http://revolution.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/20982_Revmote2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I hope those are just test Revmotes they gave them to use. They should not be the final production models yet. they are obviously preproduction / dev models... Dev models,proper ones will look much better. What are you people talking about? These look exactly like the ones shown on TGS in September and GDC last month, except they're grey. Just the colour changed, the model is the same (except the already mentioned big thing that plugged the analogue stick in and the round pointer, but that hardly justifies such a reaction). So what do you mean "proper" ones? I, for one, am hoping grey is a launch colour for the Rev cause to me Nintendo = Grey. NES was grey, SNES was grey, the N64 was black but with grey controller, my GC is the platinum one, so almost grey. And I hope I can choose the grey Rev, as the white one may look good on advertising pictures but I don't want it in my living room. If no grey, then black is next choice. Of course this is all just opinion, so don't jump me. But I just found it odd that just cause the controller is grey in the pictures the reactions were "I hope it's not the final design", as if the model were completely different.

In turn that means there's no way there's an IR transmitter in the front, so all those people who keep on thinking it's IR based can finally shut up about it.

Transmitter/Reciever. I am guessing they have given developpers more accurate hardware for programming games than what we will recieve to ensure games are more accurate.. and that's why it isn't smoothed over with a nice neat black IR shield.

DiemetriX Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 L1/L2 is godly. L1/L2 is good for one finger action. But I want the rev controller to be comy with to fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stefkov Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 after you mention that i see it aswell, the second image, i see that little blan wire going down his sleeve. well spotted, i thought it was actually like a thread from his shirt loose or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YenRug Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I've blown up sections of the four images which show the bottom end of the FHC. I'll leave it up to you to decide if there is anything there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.dakota Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Without actually holding the Nunchuka attachment, i can't really comment, but by the looks of things the shoulder buttons would be better as belly buttons, as it were. The hand and fingers would seem to rest more comfortably there. On the whole, Nintendo is very Apple inspired and I can see the Revolution being white as 'standard'- including the Baton Controller.
