As of right now, I hate it, a ****in REMOTE!? What the ****!?

What the hell is that. i hope thats not the controller. What the hell is that. I picked up my tv remote and my, cpu mouse in the other. It feels like crap. This is going to be hard to play other types of games. I mean sure it might be fun for nintendo made games, for the use of that, but other games for all 3 systems are going to suck. NO, poor Smash bros, I was buying it because of Smash, but now how I am going top play it.

Why don't you all wait and see how it plays before you cast it down to hell so ignorantly.

At first, I thought it will be a diseaster.
But then, people said the same thing about the DS.
Look how well its doing.

I'm intriged, but hesitent.
But i think its someting you have to try out before you complain about it. It might actually be alot of fun. Sorta of like playing actual football instead of playing Madden all the time. (yes physical activity).

I think it also all depends how much it will cost. People arnt going to buy it if its the same price as the XBOX 360.
But people might buy it if its cheaper because of the intriged.
Also, during the press conference, couple of developing companies actually loved the controller after they used it, so Nintendo has too get the sytem out in public and let people use it.

I wouldn't mind it. I am saying it will be fun, if nintendo makes the games, because they know how to use it, but 3rd party makers, that make games for all 3 systems. It's going to be freaky playing like certain type of games.

Possibly. I'm more interested in the games Nintendo have planned themselves. I'm keeping my mind open to the idea.

If the likes of EA can't do their franchises on the Revolution properly, then too bad.

yep i agree, games like beat em up will suffer, driving games will flourish on this type of controller. although it is not the finished look but they will porpb only change it a little like the fist version of the ds then they changed it to the look now. although the features are good.

Who's to say beatemups will suffer?

The controller may make a lot of designers change the way people think games "should" be.

We always think of beatemups with the tradional button layout and combos - but there may be a designer out there who can make that controller the best controller for beatemups, and give the genre in general a bit kick up the backside, which it so desperately needs.

Just because the controller is different doesn't mean the games will suck - it'll simply force developers to think about how games are designed. We might actually see a huge beat-em up revolution, where beat-em ups change for the better, become more immersive. It's wishful thinking sure, but the possibility is always there. I think thats what Nintendo are trying to do - to make developers think differently, to try and fit a game around a simplistic control system and maybe revolutionise a genre.

My two favourite games of all time are Resident Evil 4 and Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. Both of these games could work amazingly well using the Revolution controller. A lot of Nintendos games will work fine on it, but the big question is the 3rd party support and whether or not they will be botherred.

The big shame is that because the 360 and PS3 will be infinitely more popular (we know it will, come on), that most developers, like shitty EA, will want to use tried and tested gameplay - which the 360 and PS3 are about (only having more polygons and effects) and Nintendo run the risk of losing support because most companies don't want to revolutionise gaming, they just want to make money.

Just thought of something. with the way that the controllers have that slot to attach other things to, and since so many different things can be attached, it's possible that Nintendo could make a setup that uses two controllers attached to each other. I'm sure this would present other immersive ways of playing.

I can't think of many at the moment, but what immediately sprang to my mind was a boxing game where you would actually box using the two controllers (kinda like an update of Punch-Out! lol ).

yep that was said about the ds some developers tried and failed but perhaps they will learn from it for the next time they develop for the ds. the same can be said for the revolution.

but because of this "new system" nintendo will either have a whole bandwagon of devopers devolping games for it and most of them is most likely not going to work well or utilise the revolution as seen in some of the games on the ds which is the best example for the revolution. or game developers will avoid the revoltion like a plague

Thats sounds pretty much what I would expect a nintendo fanboy would say. The way you sound its as if Nintendo is the only company that makes good games, and anything with a silly little controller must be the best game EVER. Its so revolutionary!!! wow cool! I wish I could move to Japan!

This controller isnt going to force companies to revolutionize their games. Have you even played a third party game lately? Third parties thrive on mass producing the same genre based, formulaic game. They dont have the time to pay someone to revolutionize gaming, they have to get that game out before the end of the third quarter! Its sad to say, but thats the truth. And alot of those games are pretty fun. They typically look to the first party to do the "new" games, and then copy them.

Anyway, in three years Ill check back in on this thread and we'll discuss how revolutionary controlling action with a remote control has been.

where did i say nintendo would be the one making the best games, i said drivings games will prob do better on the d=system then a beat em up.

unless of cause you weren't talking to me, but i do prefer the gamecube then a ps2 and xbox IMO everyones opinion is likely to change.

I just about to say that about having two contollers.

The C-Master commented that beatmeups and fighting games will suck.
But if you actually think about it, those will be awesome with the new game.
Just think, using the contoller to actually punched the other character instead of using a 5 button/analog stick combo that traditional system use.

Ive been thinking about it for a bit, and Im think of all these possiblities that this controller will allow. It sounds really interesting, and Im really looking forward towards trying it out. Considering that I feel the new systems are exactly the same as the past 3 generations, it looks like this might actually work.
And by the way, most developing firms have actually tried the contoller out and has stated that they look forward to using it in their games. EA has also said that sports game will be awesome on it.
It all depends on if companies can actually develop for it.
But this system will fail if the technology has any laspes.

............ -_-... the console reads directly off of your controller, then visually displays it.. the tv doesnt read your input from the controller or vice versa.. which makes tv size a pointless issue [/B]

If you read about it you would know there is actually a feature which does just that.

Ok, i want ya to do something. Go play a beatem up, doesnt matter what it is, but one thats a bit in depth and uses more than one button. Anyway, everytime you want to throw a punch, I want you to make a punching motion with your hand as you press the button, to simulate this revolutionary movement control. Now do your combos. Punch Punch punch. Here comes some more enemies. Punch punch punch punch. Ok, now, I want you to throw kicks. How do we throw kicks? I dunno. I guess since we are moving, make a side to side movement instead of up and down. Now Punch punch kick punch kick. Kick kick kick. Punch punch punch. Punch. Punch punch punch. Kick. Punch Kick Punch. Punch punch kick punch kick. Kick kick kick. Punch punch punch. Punch. Punch punch punch. Kick. Punch Kick Punch. Punch punch kick punch kick. Kick kick kick. Punch punch punch. Punch.

Congradulations, your sweating, fatigued, and have a rotator cuff injury, and your flexors and extensors of your forearm are tight, and are compressing your nerve capsules, resulting in nerve compression syndromes like carpal tunnel. You will make your physical therapist lots of money.

When you think about it, all the've really done is chop a normal controller in half, and rearanged the buttons on the right to resemble a strange bizzaro remote control. If people will say that they like the gamecube controller, then im sure certain games will be playable. As far as revolutionary point and click and movement stuff, you probably wont be seeing much of that.

I will say, holding the remote and using it like a lightsaber in star wars games would be pimp.

there's endless great possibilties ..sega and EA making sports games, sega making things like their samba de amigo, capcom making a new power stone, midway making a new read 2 rumble or a hydro thunder, namco making a time crisis where it feels like u are actually holding a gun without a guncon or something similar, retro studios could make an awesome metroid with this system.. puzzle games will crazy now.. imagine tetris revolution..or chu chu rocket? Final fantasy games could be made for the system,
no doubt developers will get lazy, and use only the GC controller instead of the Revolutions, but the ones who actually try will be able to make some great games.

Hmm.
There's more than 1 button that controller. You need 2 buttons for punch or kick.

You talk about physical exercise like its a curse or something. Wow, you you have move your arms. Wow, that really screws up your body.
Do you think that you have to make excessive moves to actually use the controllers?

I agree with Smasandian. It's not like a little physical exertion is going to kill you. Or if it is, then you must play games more than I do. Quick, do you know what the sun is?!

But seriously, it's about time someone thought "our demographic is getting a little overweight, maybe we should do what we can to help fix that." Physical games that go beyond a dance pad could be very entertaining. And besides, what other line of invention with take us to virtual reality gaming?

It's 'revolutionary', alright.
