not having hi-definition is going to mean were going to have better looking textures. Because that texture mapping isnt going to be wasted trying to make it fit on a huge screen and look good. We'll have alot more variety and layering for textures, and faster loading times.

I'll give you the load times, because every Nintendo system I've seen has strived to cut loading down to minimal or nil. However as far as graphical performance is concerned, that's hard to say given that we don't really have the full specs of the system yet. I will say though that based on previous systems, the tech has managed to stay with and at times exceed the competition despite the final specs not looking like that on paper. If the Revolution is designed in this line of thinking you'll probably be right, but as for right now it's all up in the air. And there's no way we've seen the best that the 360 will be able to do yet.

Because a lot of SNES games have better visuals than a lot of games this generation, it's graphic power that usually has nothing to do with immersion.

If peope only cared about graphics then the NES would have failed since it was inferior to SMS and just slightly above 7800.

Genesis and SNES wouldnt have been so close because genesis did have better graphcis but all peoel noticed was SNES had more colors and Mario.

N64 would have killed PS1 and Dream Cast would have sold a lot better than it did and NO Gameboy woudl have ever sold.

People really need to look at the past and realize that graphics have NEVER sold a system.

Even this last gen PS2 didnt have as good GFX as Xbox but it still out sold Xbox AND GC combined. Look also at DS hwo its GFX look bad compared to PSP and yet it still sells in the millions.

Just thought this might tie in to this thread rather nicely: Link

Jonathan Metts wrote a nice opener to get us all excited and prepared for E3.

Oh, and I might have missed something, but has TP been confirmed to be forward compatible with Rev. by Nintendo?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #30 on:** February 12, 2006, 08:33:32 AM »

Reggie hinted at it recently, but nothing concrete...

Oh yea I remember, he said something like "something magical will happen when you play TP on the Revolution". Not sure the exact quote but that right there is conformation that something will be special about TP on Rev.

Not that any of you care, but: I've made a decision. I'm going to this e3. Even though I don't have much in the way of any industry connections. Or money.

woo-hoo.

i'll see you at e3 wandering...hope to meet some PGC staff too...that'd be great...i recently was packing up stuff and found my photos from the different booths with the different E3 chicks dating back to 2001...cool stuff...

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #34 on:** February 17, 2006, 10:24:57 PM »

My pictures from 2k1 are in my cabinet in the back. Hopefully this E3 will be more productive.

pezmanmike · « **Reply #35 on:** February 18, 2006, 04:14:42 AM »

I'd say there's a good chance that a new Kid Icarus game will be unveiled at E3...

He can show us pictures of the stairs that lead to the convention center. And the chinese restaurant that's across the street that I went to on Day1 of E3 2k1.

well, I've heard word that, if you pay the big bucks, the e3 staff stops caring so much about industry creds. The big bucks, in this case, being about $1000+ for me and a friend. Add in expenses, and we could end up spending a good $5000.

How am I going to get $5000? Well, I was thinking I would whore myself out to 50 fat chicks for 1000 bucks a piece. Or 5 REALLY fat chicks.....

See you there. Quite possibly.

I actually do have the credentials but I couldn't stand E3 unless I was going there to promote my game (which will likely never happen).

IMHO, seeing and trying the stuff firsthand is cute and all, but it's not worth the air travel and crowds when I'll own it in a few months anyway. Also, all of the news and media will be available online mere hours after it's presented at E3 and I can't see going through all the hassle just to be a few hours ahead of the internet.

ThePerm · « **Reply #42 on:** March 25, 2006, 12:35:26 PM »

only 44 more days!!! I wish I could go, but once again school is evil. I really want to get into this industry, and right now i'm in art school. I want to hook up with a few programmers and start a small company. I'm excited about the virtual console.

I may be going, albeit for the horror site I review films for (horrorbrain bitches!)..hey, I get in where I fit in.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #44 on:** March 25, 2006, 10:10:05 PM »

All I know is I won't be getting much work done the day of Nintendo's press conference. Between hearing the announcements and reading the responses from people here, my work will be lucky if I do anything but steal their bandwidth for checking this site.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #45 on:** March 26, 2006, 01:16:16 AM »

I will be on a flight during the press conferences. Oh well at least I will be there. (Hopefully on business.)

ThePerm · « **Reply #46 on:** March 26, 2006, 12:10:28 PM »

i think ill ask for those days off...just so i can stay at home and watch the news!

You're the ONLY gamer in the universe who feels like that. Trust me.

I can legitimately say I feel that way [how SB said], cuz I've been there. However, going with friends (and essentially partying at E3 like it was a geeky-techie amusement park) has MUCH more worth than going solo.
