^Ok thats fair enought lol I'm just really hoping that thisn't the final design for the Revolution's controller.

That's not a traditional controller, it has a little drill on the underside. You attach it to your forehead and it connects to your brain, giving you a neural link to the Rev. Just make sure your character doesn't suffer any ammo explosions and you're all set.

BigJim: Have you gone through the PC controller aisles in a store lately? Try turning some of these gamepads upside down, some have middlefinger buttons.

Whoa, I was just saying I had a feeling it might be real and that it was a very good fake if isn't. Do I like the design? not particularly. Do I think that the rev controller could be something similar to this? Perhaps....

I posted a pic of the X360 controller at another forum (the same one up at GAF) and everyone said it was fake for sure, so I thought I was wrong. Turned out that it was the actual controller. I guess that's why I wasn't so quick as to shrug this off as a fake for sure. Compared to all the other fake rev controller pics I've seen this seems like the best.
here is a different one I've found (N64xDC) >_<.

that controller says "iQue" right in the center. how could that be a Rev controller?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #29 on:** June 18, 2005, 07:10:17 AM »

*sigh* again, I said it was a fake. We all know this is a fake, I only posted it for laughs. Someone posted it at another forum as a fake rev pic so I just thought I'd bring it here.

Anyway, the touch pad controller (if real) could end up being mainly for Backwards combatability and maybe most games will use the old GCN controllers as the standard. Who knows, but I think this thing could have alot potential.

It's not a fake, it's the freaking iQue. It's the Chinese system that Nintendo launched and it plays N64 games. Since then iQue is the official brand Nintendo operates under in China, placing it on the GBA and the DS.

What if the controller had some sort of mechanisim under its surface that would actually raise areas and make them into physical buttons? Maybe a bunch of pins, like those one toys where you can put your face or anything on it and all the pins copy your form. I forget what their called...

Bloodworth · « **Reply #33 on:** June 18, 2005, 03:24:44 PM »

That sounds really expensive.

I recommend you all search on Google for "Haptic Screens."

Stolen from another forum I frequent:
Again, I point to the link that leads to Ars Electronica.

The Haptic Screen employs an elastic surface made of cloth. Actuators are set under the elastic surface. The original Haptic Screen employs 36 linear actuators arranged 6 by 6. The surface is deformed by the actuators. Each actuator has a force sensor. The hardness of the surface is made variable by these actuators and sensors.

We have developed a simplified and robust mechanism of the Haptic Screen for the exhibition at the Ars Electronica Center. A video image is projected on the elastic screen so that the participant can directly touch the image and feels its rigidity.

It would explain how the controller would be able to play all of Nintendo's games from NES to N64.

Layman's terms, the controller morphs.

If this is the case, then.... Nintendo? I LOVE YOU.

Teehee... was wondering how long it would take for somebody to bring up morphing. If nothing else, Nintendo fans have very active imaginations.

I wonder why the thumb is all the way to the left in that one picture... almost looks like it's touching one of the blue circle things.

Immersion's stuff is too expensive which is why noone's using it these days.

MS already bought the rights to all Immersion's RandD.

I still hope this controller is not real. They could implement a haptic touch pad onto an actual haptic controller. By not putting buttons or sticks on the controller all they will be offering is an alternative to controlling traditional games. They won't be able to do anything new. People will cry gimmick.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #43 on:** June 19, 2005, 05:47:15 AM »

No, MS just bought a 10% share in the company. Immersion lives from licensing their technology, they'd be screwed if they went exclusive.

Thanks to my buddy Steve over at DSRevolution.com, this is a higher res picture (he created) of the same controller.
