The SEC (or somthing like that) caught my eye. It uses television like pixles (phosphurous cells) at computer CRT resolutions and color but it is as flat as an LCD or Plasma. (It uses diodes to light the cells)

The PS3 has a minor appearance. An empty plastic case behind glass. Lame. I REALLY doubt they'll release PS3 in the Spring. They still haven't shown an actual controller, and we thought Nintendo was being paranoid.
What will they do, unveil the system officially at E3 and say "Get read, it's coming out next month"?
OT, yes. but this is where the thread was.

he... I remember I got in there the year after that insident where there was some Nintendo stuff stolen...
Crap... they din't asist that year, nor did any other game company etcept for computer companies...
Loky me... I din't need to pay a dime... and went to both buildings...
I got in with the bunch and had an empty (white paper with lines) ID half hiden.... ha, ha... in the other buiding (the one I visited first) I got in true the back, employes door... ... frantick... I was like wow... cool...
There were cars... and this wierd spekers that could move the cone about 2 inches in and out... and there was this booth that had some 3D pr0n tech... I din't enter but sow from the outside...
I spent about 2 hours in each building... just looking around, but there was nothing of interest for me... no games anyway... asides from a couple computer games I saw... lame...
That was more than 5 years ago...

They wont show the controller because of all the backlash they got from the bat-a-rang at e3!! I wouldnt be suprised in the least if by e3 next year sony's controller has some sort of gyroscopes in it.

Sony spun some numbers about the PSP, and sang the praises of Blu-Ray. No new announcements, though they've slyly (sp?) snuck a generic '2006' release date for the PS3.
Nintendo? Nowhere to be found. Hopefully we'll see something at GDC or DICE.
All I got out of CES was that the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD war begins in earnest this year. This could get ugly....

There are a couple of booths that have Nintendo's logo but one is a carrying case company (DS and Gameboy) and the other is the car attachment for the gameboy (didn't see it, don't care about it).
Lots of HDTV's here, majority of companies are focused on bringing out 1080p and using HDMI connectors. And everyone and their grandmother is pushing MP3 players or IPod attachments.
I tried out some glasses that track head movement and translate it into game control. Very awkward. What I'd like to see is head control translated into actual head control of the character. So in FPS's, if you are running forward and want to look to your left, just turn your head and you still run in the same direction, you just aren't looking at where you are going.

I imagine doing a 360 would be quite straining on the neck.

Actually that would only translate into eye strain because you would have to keep your eyes on the TV, and the TV doesn't move with your head.

Yeah, definitely at DICE, Reggie's scheduled to speak on February 9.
Intresting, That's before march, where we were supposed to hear new info regarding The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Seeing that Reggie will be speaking, it's a likely bet we'll hear more about Zelda there and then.

I'm actually hoping for no DS redesign (far too early, it's not even beating the PSP in the States). I just want one single Revolution screenshot.
Knowing Nintendo, they probably had something planned for Monday but now that they've found out that we know they're scrapping it and changing the date to two weeks later.
Post by: wandering on January 14, 2006, 10:45:13 PM
More to the point, if now is too early, later would probably be too close to the rev launch. Nintendo hates making their products compete for the spotlight. Or would they think that a rev-themed redesign (sleek/apple-white) would actually help bolster rev sales?
So many variables! Regardless, my prediction is Christmas 2007. ....unless that's too close to GameBoy Next?
edit: forgot it's 2006 already.

With the DS...I don't want to miss out on anything if I don't buy a redesigned one. DSpeak, online PictoChat...okay, cool, include them in the new DS, but make them available to the people who actually bought at launch via firmware update or otherwise. I just think it's stupid when companies actually punish their loyal customers who bought systems on launch day and stuff.
Nintendo obviously has no problem with systems competing for the spotlight: the Game Boy Micro was released while the DS was still selling incredibly strong. Of course I hope they learned something from that, seeing as GBM was a failure (though I hadn't actually physically seen the thing till just a couple weeks ago, it's the most retardedly small - in a good way - thing i've ever seen). I think it's best to release a DS redesign summer of next year, extending the DS's life cycle for another year or so, allowing time for GBNext (though I doubt we'll be seeing any more GameBoys; rather, DS-like systems with new innovations).
