Game Informer showing their May issue cover
That gun in the background...makes it look like a modern day Samurai thingy.

This excites me for many reasons.
1. This is the most enthusiasm I think I've ever seen GI have for a Nintendo product, ever.
2. The insanely badass image this cover exudes is exactly what Nintendo needs to revamp their image. I mean, holy sh!t...want a mature image? There it is...
I NEED to get this magazine...

I'm not even that excited about the Rev (yet) but just the sheer thought of finally getting some info makes me giddy.

We answer these simple questions and many more in our eleven-page hands-on report. Look out for massive screenshots side by side with pictures of gamers actually demonstrating what you'll do with the Revolution remote.
In addition, we have an in-depth interview with Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications George Harrison, in which we poke and prod him about Nintendo’s upcoming console.
and also find that,

(The game looks great, UH OH REV CAN'T POSSIBLY PUSH THESE GRAPHICS!)
Edit: Hahaha, already beaten!

Ian will be debating whether the 3rd party support will be over his 6.7 titles/yr cutoff or not. And whether the controller will be effective tool in traditional gaming.
Meanwhile we'll all be blasting baddies with the most advanced videogame controller on the planet.
Awesome news!!!!!
"Plus, we have two other exclusive first looks from developers whose pedigree can’t be denied. One from Raven Software, and the other from Kaos Studios (a new studio whose core team is responsible for the award-winning Battlefield 1942 mod, Desert Combat)"
Did I read that right? Kaos studios, makers of the DC mod for BF42, are onboard???? It doesn't really say whether say they are making a game for the REv. It just says GI will have a first look at their game.

holy crap, my blog has gotten 10,000 hits since i posted those scans. anyways, i just finished reading the actual article in game informer, and it says that the sword and guns can be twisted in your hand, by twisting the rev's remote. so you can shoot gangster style and block with the sword. also, there is split screen and online multiplayer planned, just no details yet. you can also jump over and take cover behind objects by moving the rev's remote towards a upturned table or a wall, and reload by pulling the remote back. by the way, they are ingame screenshots. this game is looking [word forbidden for excessive frenchness] hot as hell.
So yes, we have twisting the gun and sword.
We have reloading by cocking the freehand back.
We have split screen and online multiplayer "planned," but with no other information.
We have objects you can "push" over to make cover for yourself.
And we have further confirmation that they are in-game screenshots.

It's awesome how little gameplay details are putting me all giddy and sinister.
Post by: Ian Sane on April 07, 2006, 01:25:59 PM
I wonder how well that works. What if I want to aim up so I move the remote up? If you just practice with your hand pretending you're holding a gun you'll notice that as you move your elbow to aim up you also bring the gun back. In that situation I think having something like B to shoot and A to reload would work better. Otherwise as you're waving your gun around you might reload (and thus leave your vulnerable) when you don't want to.

...did I just call the freehand controller a gun?

Thank G-d, I was going insane in that stupid specs thread.
This is intriguing to say the least. Graphics looked pretty pimpin'. Even if it is a light-gun style game, I haven't played one of those in years,
and it may well be more fun than a traditional FPS.
So this mag is on sale now? Screw the scans, I'll just buy it outright...
