The Controller is interesting...but I think the design is horrible...and proof alone that it is fake.

Console: I love the design. However, if they are going to use larger discs for the REV and still allow for backwards compatability, they might want to use the pop-top like the GC. As for the built in wireless for the controllers, i like and don't. I would like it more if there was still an option for wired controllers
Controller: AHHHH! IT'S FUGLY!! I don't like the complexity of the controller and the simple design. No hidden buttons in the grips, no touch pad "analog stick". I kinda like the Li-Ion battery idea. no headphone port, that's stupid. Let's have a controller that's very similar to the GC one.

you are either touching the screen or not- you can touch it up or down, and drag your finger around, but it doesn't seem
to have the slight touch sensitiveity that the stick has. WHich comes in handy when you need to creep slowly.

That's rubbish. I declare this mock up weak. Plus it's ridiculously wide. That's like a pancake.

I'm not digging either one. The console looks like a warped GameCube. And a controller with grips that turn inward? I get a stiff neck playing DS as it is. I don't want my wrists going next.

I like the idea of having two big buttons you can activate with your palms, but otherwise, yeah, the controller sucks.

I like the logo but that's about it.
I want the Rev to be metallic looking and green damn it!

2) I really really REALLY don't want to see Nintendo jump on the way-too-curvy bandwagon. I'd expect MS to, what with the whole windows-stealing history, but Nintendo should stick to something more traditional-looking this time. The N64 had a good curve:straight, making it look sleek to this day.
3) Top-loading systems are uncool and prior generation in casual gamers' eyes. They don't understand that sliding disc trays are another point of moto failure and make it easier to screw up the insertion of GC mini-discs. Nintendo does, though, and I'll bet they stick with a top-loading system. After all, that's cheaper, too.

Agreed, top loading can't be all that uncool, after all Sony reintroduced it with the PS2-70k.

I like N Revolution's mockups aesthetically. Functionally......you might as well put gyros in a gamecube controller rather than go with that thing. Also, I like the slot-loading drive.....but I doubt one would work for differently-shaped media.

I posted it originally. It's actually a sandwich maker that I taped a printed-out Revolution logo to. Glad you like it.

I wanted to say one thing about Revolution's appearance. My sandwich maker, and N-revolution's mockup, come kind of close to my ideal Rev system, but neither are quite there.
I want this thing to look like a minature flying saucer. Preferably silver, with a rounded top that has the Revolution's logo printed directly onto its surface. And I want it to light up - with blue or red light on its underbelly. That is my dream.

Wireless controllers with removable cords that can be plugged into the console. That's the way to go. You want it wireless? No problem. You don't want to deal with batteries or you need to recharge? No problem there either. Just plug it in. Both options and no need to buy two different controllers. They could even make it so that the controllers recharge when they're plugged in so you don't even need to buy batteries.

Edit: Btw I like the design of the revolution console shown on 1st post but I think a handle is needed just like the Cube has one.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 18, 2005, 06:59:32 PM
I think it would work best if you have the option to use either/or, but whatever works is fine.
Post by: Spak-Spang on April 18, 2005, 06:59:32 PM
How about using something that can charge a battery in the controller while it is plugged in? So you have a wireless controller that when the juice goes out can plugin and play, until the battery is charged.
Then you wouldn't have to worry about batteries.

You know, I would like a combination console/sandwitch maker.
