It has been really cool to finally get Revolution information, but it just seems to trickle and tease instead of satisfy.
Until screens and movies are available I just feel like all us Nintendo and Revolution fans are being Blue Balled until E3.

Also, the E3 conference is only an hour, they can't possibly fit everything in then... just the biggest things.

Mario see to me the Conference is the Fore the play. Its the big reveal. Seeing her completely for the first time.
The showroom floor when you get to play the games is the main event.
See, though, I tend to blow all of my excitement prematurely on the big reveal.
Seriously, Cube Club 2002. I just couldn't get excited playing some of the games because I had seen so much footage already.

Exactly. The Speech is to get you excited about the show and to encourage you to stop by the booth. The speech should have most of the things you will see at the booth in it...and a few things not available for the booth.
The Speech truly is for raising the excitement level.
Now to me, since I can't go to E3. The floor room describtions of the game and the excitement levels from the media actually playing the games and observing others play is what excites me the most.
The Speech is Four Play
and the Floor Room is all out Nintendo Orgy goodness.

Do they enjoy the games? Are they fun to play? What are the crowds like at all the booths? How is everyone receiving Nintendo this time around? Where is the largest buzz and excitement?
None of those questions can be answered at just the Press Conference.

Anyway, Famitsu-ton incoming.
Post by: Hostile Creation on April 25, 2006, 07:44:04 AM
It's so much better. I think the speech is orgasm, and then the orgasm just doesn't stop. It keeps relapsing constantly for the next three days. Then you have to sit back, sore like you never thought possible, dry as the dust, and realize you've got to get it back up for New Super Mario Brothers.

Tekken 6 for PS3 is the big story, everyone is shocked.
... seriously though, some guy has the magazine but hasn't said anything about the Rev stuff, yet he went out of his way to say it had some generic Tekken 6 surprise announcement for PS3. Waiting for someone competent to get the mag and post on the internet.

Alright, apparently there are two Rev games covered. That Pangya golf game and an exclusive Konami game called "Elebits", possibly a music game, no details yet.
Pictures? Tell me there are pictures.

Well, you could give the extra seats to female game journalists only. But I guess that would require the existence of female game journalists.
Post by: wandering on April 26, 2006, 05:43:50 AM
The game is produced by Shingo Mukaitouge, who worked on Guitar Freaks. You hunt cute pikmin-like creatures called Elebits (electricity bits) - energy sources that make the world move (?). You'll be able to find them by moving things in the game world. As you capture the Elebits, the world evolves (?).
According to Konami, the game will make you make you feel like you are touching the inside of the screen, and wouldn't be possible with exisiting controllers.

Red steel also looks like the kind of game that sells on gameplay, not story or characters. After all, the characters in the GTA games are blatant stereotypes with one track personalities, and look how the game sells.

Post by: Hostile Creation on April 26, 2006, 08:39:38 AM
I disagree. Red Steel isn't spectacular (it's hard to involve vivid personality into a FPS game like that) as far as that goes, but it's far from generic. The style and design looks much, much more distinctive than most FPS games I've seen or played. It's easy to make something quirky like Katamari or Elebits charming, much harder to give a FPS a distinctive feel. Red Steel isn't as unique, but it's far from generic.

Golf's the new World War II.
Post by: MaryJane on April 26, 2006, 09:07:22 AM
A golf game... i suck at golf, if it can teach me a good swing so that when i go to the driving range with my monster friends who consistently drive 200+ yards maybe i won't be doing 50 footers anymore then i might rent it.
Elebits... for me this is a i'll wait for more info then probably never pick it up anyway. Red steel however as soon as i got the first rather meager information about the game i wanted it.
Who knows maybe more info about Elebits will change my mind, the only thing that piqued my interest was the "world evolving" mention. how that is developed and integrated into gameplay would be the only thing changing my mind, maybe the hunting aspect too, but it'd have to be coupled with the world evolution.
Post by: Kairon on April 26, 2006, 09:34:50 AM
Platform gameplay: Elebits allows players to move around and xplore a world in search of the titular creatures
Adventure/Exploration gameplay: Because elebits are hidden and will require players to actively search for them, this is more of an adventure/exploration bit
3D Object manipulation: It's mentioned that elebits are found by picking up or moving objects via the freehand, possibly a 3D object manipulation thing via gestures
Music: The designer's pedigree and the "electric bits" lead me to believe that audio feedback will play at least a minor role in the game
Expanding world: The evolving world statement makes one think that the main purpose of finding elebits is to solve puzzles that open up new areas for exploration
Puzzle gameplay: Perhaps in order to expand the world and unlock new areas players will use elebits to solve puzzles

Well that's your first mistake. Magnificent game.
I love quirky titles like Elebits, sounds very much like my cup of tea. Now, I think the comparison to Pikmin is being taken too seriously. They're small, but that's it. Otherwise it's a different game. They shouldn't have compared the two.
I think Kairon is on pretty much the right track. Though the evolving world made me think, as you gather these energy creatures elebits, the world will actually evolve. Not just expand. It'll become more complex, and finding new elebits to get farther will involve new and more advanced skills. They will be less common, and there will be more room to search.
But that's just speculation. Looking forward to more info

I meant it in the sense that there will be for sure a Mario Golf game for the REV, which isn't bad but I'm just not a big fan of golf.

Quote...as opposed to those other action/advneture games in which the inner conflicts of character's psyches are subtly teased out through an illuminating, character-driven plot. Not saying such a game doesn't exist - I don't know, there are thousands of games out there I haven't played - but any action/adventure with decent characterization has got to be in a tiny minority at best.
.. in which particular case Ubi's known for the utter lack of depth of its characters.

No, but it would provide it something unique so that it would standout from all the other generic crap. The reason the PC title was successful was because it was essentially an MMO golf game. Take that away and all you have is a mediocre golf game.
