Started out as a rumor but has apparently since then been confirmed:

Ubisoft is dev-ing an exclusive FPS for Rev.

EDIT: Never mind, it's not confirmed but it's been validated by another source. Either way, interesting rumor.

Likelihood of this happening, rumour or not itself being true: Very high...

But Ubisoft...?

Oh for god's sake, typing in the four extra letters, three if you consider the hyphen to take the place of one letter.

Ubisoft? Shooter? Whoa...

It's likely that several developers are thinking of making an FPS for the Rev, perhaps exclusively, but I wouldn't have guessed that it would come from Ubisoft..

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #6 on:** November 14, 2005, 03:17:42 PM »

Why is this strange to you guys? Ever heard of XIII?

attackslug · « **Reply #7 on:** November 14, 2005, 03:32:12 PM »

King Kong is certainly looking nice, and I believe that is also an Ubisoft-developed shooter.

Feh, XIII, first thing that came to my mind was Far Cry.

This news was so momentous that Louie himself was ressurected from his slumber.

What I'm wondering is if at some point there will be a gun attachment like a concept I've seen on the net (too lazy to look up, but it is a gun-shaped shell that you slide the remote into). I could see some insane shell being made that had a joystick on a two handle gun setup for precise aiming.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #12 on:** November 14, 2005, 05:45:12 PM »

I doubt a shell like that would ever be officially made by Nintendo. The fact is Nintendo and most game companies don't want to actually have prop guns anymore, because of potential for lawsuits.

Guns have become socially unacceptable and taboo.

The Revolution controller is really great because it can give developers the ability to design and make Gun games without having a device in the shape of a gun.

Now, a 3rd party developer may make it. Or the first company that decides to use the controller to design a FPS, but I doubt they will take on the additional unneccessary cost.

Yea it would cost more and therefore create a divide in who can play it (limiting who might buy it) but it is not like the chainsaw controller or anything. If done properly I think that the gun shell could really add to FPS games and get a lot of praise. There are tons of problems with this idea though. Like you said I don't think that Nintendo would make a first party shell like this. That leaves it up to a 3rd party, but who? Does the first good gun shell become standard for all games? Or do many renditions get made and add to confusion to the confusion with a lack of standard (also breaking up and dividing the consumer base more).

This brings up some interesting things though. A more broad question that might be asked is, are all of the standard controller shells/attatchments going to be standardized by Nintendo or is it possible a 3rd party one to become standard for a certain type of game?

It's not the shooter part that surprises me. It's that Ubisoft is creating an exclusive...

Which is why I give no credence at all to this rumor yet.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 15, 2005, 10:52:17 AM »

EDIT:

It seems like consolewars, but also more legit sites like Merisation, and Jeux-France are posting the news. It seems legit in my opinion.

Also, supposedly, there will be two FPS's developed by Ubisoft, one of which is a REV exclusive.

I don't know about you guys, but I think Ubisoft is a very competent developer. Any exclusive support is great.

Wasn't it Meristation that originally reported it?

Weak grafx... no HD... unique controller... lack of buttons... kiddy image...

EVERY Rev game is gonna be an exclusive!

Ian Sane · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2005, 01:40:45 PM »

"Weak grafx... no HD... unique controller... lack of buttons... kiddy image..."

Well technically the Rev doesn't have a kiddy image yet. It looks pretty cool and hi-techy actually.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #20 on:** November 15, 2005, 01:46:53 PM »

Ahaha, Ian totally defended the Rev against someone...I believe this makes ruby_onix the new Ian of PGC...

ruby_onix · « **Reply #21 on:** November 15, 2005, 02:03:09 PM »

Yay?

mantidor · « **Reply #22 on:** November 15, 2005, 02:08:38 PM »

*GASPS OF SHOCK*

But seriously, out of the three, the Rev is the one who looks best.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 15, 2005, 05:56:45 PM »

By far! It's not even a competition.

Well technically the Rev doesn't have a tiku tiku tiku! image yet. It looks pretty cool and hi-techy actually.

And it doesn't exactly have a lack of buttons, with the shell it actually has more. Making this the simpliest yet most complex controller ever.
