That even if the graphics didn't look better than the Gamecube's, the consoles were more powerful in other ways.

True, but there's a lot more disparity between the rumored Rev specs and the competition's than there was last generation, and there's also the advent of integrated rigid-body physics which eats up a tremendous amount of CPU power. Since physics is becoming increasingly popular in FPSs (one of the anticipated major genres on the Rev) and also often does a lot more for a sense of immersion and realism (and definitely gameplay) than simply graphics, it doesn't make much sense for Nintendo to foreclose implementing it.

Well now I am not so sure about all this, seeing the Red Steek pics at least shows whatwe already knew, it would be more powerful than the GC. But what will make the graphics matter is hwo they look in action, and since all we have is screans its still hard to tell without actualy gameplay footage.


I still maintain that teh rev will kick ass and will sell like hotcakes, but I still personaly have that unsetling feeling that it wont be as impressive visualy  as the other 2, ut at least it looks as though Rev will have a good chance of getting decent and nice looking exclusives so that settles one part of the fear, knowing that despite the less powerful graphics devs willl still take time to fully utilise its potential.


Anywyas just random thoughts I had that wanted to share ont his subject.
