Famitsu-ton confirmed a flop. Rev wont have games, so they can't reveal any, it was a joke by the crafty Famitsu guys.

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.

Maybe the games just really suck and aren't worth talking about.

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.

Actually, this is why they're probably limiting the seating at the Nintendo conference. The poor janitor can't be paid enough for that clean up.

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.

Elebits details

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.

Ok, so, one new game.

That was not Famitsu-ton.

That was Famitsu Snap, Crackle, and Pop.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #36 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:11:43 AM »

Kind of a disappointment, but I must admit that Elebits sounds really interesting. Can't wait to see more of it. I don't know if I've ever bought a Konami title before, this could be my first

Quirky game #1 announced. Awesome.

jasonditz · « **Reply #37 on:** April 26, 2006, 06:23:01 AM »

Indeed, Elebits is probably more my kind of game than was Red Whatever

Ian Sane · « **Reply #38 on:** April 26, 2006, 08:08:04 AM »

Elebits sounds like a really cool game. One thing I like about it aside from the fact that it's a unique idea is that its got personality. Red Steel doesn't have that. It sounds like a cool game but it's very generic looking. One thing I love about Nintendo's games is that they have personality. They stand out. Elebits looks like it will stand out.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 26, 2006, 08:19:14 AM »

I agree that Red steel does look a bit generic. But you have to take into consideration that we only have seen blurry screens. maybe the personality of the characters will be expressed through dialogue and body language.

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.

Caliban · « **Reply #40 on:** April 26, 2006, 08:31:06 AM »

That Elebits game sounds really cool to me, I can't wait to see some of its footage from E3.

Another golf game, sorry but I'm not much of a fan for golf.

"Red Steel doesn't have that. It sounds like a cool game but it's very generic looking."

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.

I never played pikmin, and elebits doesn't sound too interesting to me... overall this news was very blah to me.

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.

Kairon · « **Reply #44 on:** April 26, 2006, 09:34:50 AM »

Without further information, allow me to speculate as to what sort of game elebits is...

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

"I never played pikmin"

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

An original game from Konami for a Nintendo console. This is ground breaking. How long has it been since we've gotten one of those?

Castlevania on DS? Like, six months ago.
