Nintendo Gaming / RE: My Revolution Conspiracy Theory
« on: April 09, 2006, 08:50:22 AM »
I still dont understand what this thread even means. It has a whole new chip set. How is that a repackage? A repackage is when you take something and change...the packaging. If you had said an evolved GameCube...sure. But it's a whole new system!

We'll see what allure GTA still has when LCS gets its PS2 release.

That would be brilliant. Great way to appeal to non-gamers (Oprah would be best, though).

Just don't try and sell the cooking game through those. The last person on earth who wants to play a cooking game is a mother. lol

The biggest danger for Sony would be for Nintendo to make a huge indent in Japan (VERY possible) and Microsoft to do the same in North America (GTA would be huge). Then they'd be fighting a major battle on two fronts against two opponents whose success drives Sony down, and thus elevates both of them in both territories.

Ubi may be mediocre, but they're at least better than EA.

I don't think there's any chance of this going multiplatform...

GarageGames is one of the largest Indie game producers who deal in both game publishing/distribution and developer tools (the $100 Torque engine, for example). They have release the highest grossing Live Arcade game to date, Marble Blast Ultra, as well as PC games/Independant Games Festival nominees Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa, Tube Twist and 2005 Game of the Year winner Gish, among other acclaimed products.

In an interview with Little Mathematics, GG promoter Jay Moore had this to say when asked about possible Virtual Console support:

We've always said we'll be everywhere there is an opportunity to bring fun games to players with our tools and our games. I can neither confirm or deny any relationship with Nintendo or why GarageGames booth was right next to the Nintendo Gamers Lounge at GDC.

It's one game not even developed by Nintendo?

EDIT: New snippits from the article:

...it is often more beneficial to take a non-lethal shot, such as shooting a gun out of an enemy's hands.


So, so far we have:

+More intutitive aiming
+Larger inviromental interaction
+More intuitive reloading
+Multiple gun angles (first time ever)
+Dearming enemies simply by aiming

All new/rare/innovative features made possible by the controller. I'm sure I left a couple off.

IGN reported it, I think it's safe. If they show one magazine they show them all. One may have exclusive publishing rights, but rarely does one source (especially a print magazine) know about the existance of a game they're seen when no one else does. Maybe GI is the only source to play it, but I'm sure the major ones all know it exists.

Whoever thinks these shots are concept art has never seen concept art. Concept art is hand drawn. Concept art doesn't run on a computer.

With that backlighting on every character it looks thoroughly ubisofted, there's just no reason for that backlight to be there (no light sources placed like that). Backlights are a popular mechanic to make games look more interesting (like Lensflares!). If these things are really added by the game it'll look strange in motion.

And couldn't that guy have used a freaking scanner?


I don't think they mean conceptual art, but conceptual mock-ups.

I don't think anyone is calling these graphics mind blowing. They're just saying they at least look decidedly better than current-gen games (or more powerful, if you don't like the art style). Basically it's just allaying fears that the system will look completely current-gen.

The won't look as good as 360 when on a TV, but they definitely look 2-3 times better.

You guys, I don't think the crosshairs do move freely. In the one where his gun is held normally the crosshair is centered. It's not centered when it's gangsta style, which makes perfect sense. So I think it is centered, except when the gun is tilter.

I hope those are graphics so that everyone can be happy! And even if they're not actual in-game, the concept art itself is still eons beyond mock-ups from this generation. Which is good.

The tilt thing is the best part of this though, it tells us how great this is going to be...

EDIT: I'd say they definitely are concept. Why? The two enemies are identical in both photos.

Nintendo Gaming / "The Emperor Visiting the Death Star"
« on: April 07, 2006, 11:14:24 AM »
Technically this fits in general or GameCube, but this is the more high traffic forum and it certainly affects the Rev and company in general.

It's an article about how Miyamoto worked with Retro on Metroid Prime. Quite a fascinating read.

The difference is that regular laptops cost ten times the $100 laptop. The Revolution will cost half as much as the competition.

Anyway, this reputable source couldv'e done the same, and is waiting until E3 to say, FOOLED YA! Then again, Nintendo has always known how to do a lot with a little, so you can't really bank on the specs until we have comparative proof, which will also be hard seeing as how, judging from some developer comments, exclusives are gonna to be numerous for each system.


Since this is a joke, I'll pretend its real.

HA! Good joke! That guy must've been so surprised! LOLZ!

And as for these numbers being wrong because of dev kits, here is where they are from:

Obviously, Nintendo is unable to take the same approach with game studios, many of whom are currently working with Revolution development hardware and in possession of finalized system specifications.


Meaning they can go up, and perhaps will, but not significantly.

I'm just being overly optimistic, but hell...if Sony can "wow" us with their price point, then I see no reason for Nintendo to do the same.


Because price is entirely Sony's choice and they can make it whatever they want. You spend months (years) building specs and developers need them to build on. You can just raise your specs like you can lower a price.

Let's be realistic...

IGN is defintiely reputable. Do they always post things people like? No. Is it possible they COULD be wrong? Yes. But outside of an official Nintendo statement, they're probably the strongest source there is.

Absolutely - I don't see why something leaked on IGN is being treated as the gospel truth here. How many different sets of leaked specs have we seen so far, three? four? more? If we simply treated the most recently encountered numbers as verified fact we'd have believed some really weird stuff over the last couple of years...


Show me the 'three or four' spec sheets the have reported, please. Links only.

Am I the only one who finds Rayman games to be visually dull, repetetive and very monotonous?
