He's got the whole article in there.

"you'll be able to lob grenades by imitating throwing a ball with the controller in your hand or even roll it along the ground with an underhand throw." - From the GI article

Yay! an actual game!

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. And if it has sword elements...
If this is hyped enough, it may well be one of the killer apps at launch.
Did they say if it's online? That would seal the deal...

So this mag is on sale now? Screw the scans, I'll just buy it outright...cheap enough to strain my eyes, I am not.

Nice! From reading the scans, it sounds like this is an FPS that controls almost exactly like I hoped a Rev FPS would. I can't wait to see it in action.

I don't think the screens are concept art. There are polygon-saving tricks used that wouldn't be necessary, or bothered with, in a concept render. Look at the bottles in the vending machine, for example. That's a corrugated surface with a clever texture applied. I wouldn't discount the possibility of the screenshots being doctored, but the underlying tech is definitely impressive.

The story sounds interesting, too. I'm not aware of an FPS that takes place in the Japanese underworld (as in Yakuza, not demons). Swords, guns, grenades, pushing over furniture for cover, and online multiplayer!

I don't necessarily think the nunchuck is proof it isn't a light gun like game. It could still be one that has a little more freedom than the normal rails.

In order for it to feel like an fps, they would need edge sensitivity on the cross hairs. That could very well be the case, but that could also make aiming confusing... I dunno. I'm anxious to actually feel it. E3 can't come soon enough.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #30 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:03:17 PM »

The article is proof, though. Here's an excerpt I transcribed from one of the pictures:

Quote
Strafing around a target is incredibly easy, as keeping the controller pointed at an object while you move with the analog stick keeps you focused on your target. Aiming felt similar to using a computer mouse, as it is possible to quickly explore every direction in a three-dimensional space with quick gestures.

Speculation: Red Steel."

Final system name: Nintendo RS

Just a thought.

Pale · « **Reply #32 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:07:35 PM »

PartyBear... The trouble with that statment though is that it is contradicted other places. It won't feel like a computer mouse. A computer mouse leaves the crosshairs in the center of the screen at all times.

Like I said, edge sensitivity would probably work, but it is still going to feel different.

trip1eX · « **Reply #33 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:13:20 PM »

It's not contradicted. IT's going to feel similar to a mouse. IT doesn't mean it will be exactly like a mouse.

ON top of it there's more than one way to program how the controller works. You can have freeplay on the screen and only move your view when you aim it off screen or you could make it pretty much like a mouse/analog stick.

Really it's up to the programmers.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #34 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:20:07 PM »

Where is it contradicted?

I don't think moving the crosshair to the edge would be disconcerting, although for circle-strafing I'd prefer that the limit be fairly far from the actual edge. There's also the possibility of having a button that locks the view so you can aim freely while using the analog stick and twistability of the remote to lean out from behind cover, or dodge for that matter. After all, why turn over a table if you can't crouch behind it? Plus using the remote to both look around and swing your sword implies some sort of mode switching.

"I don't necessarily think the nunchuck is proof it isn't a light gun like game. It could still be one that has a little more freedom than the normal rails."

This thing is FPS games kick ass and lightgun games don't. So we've decided to assume it's an FPS because it's more fun that way.

WHAT? You're assuming a GOOD thing about Nintendo Ian?

a good thing about Ubisoft, this is funny.

Ubisoft is getting so much attention right now, its good to be the one out of the gate first. By releasing all this revolution information before everyone else, Ubisoft just guaranteed they would have a top seller. Plus the game looks badass.

Guy there says they're in-game, and I want to believe him very, very badly.

Pale · « **Reply #40 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:43:30 PM »

I just meant that saying the crosshairs moved on screen means to me that it won't feel like using a mouse...

Don't get me wrong though guys, I'm not saying the game will suck and I'm not saying that it won't feel just like an FPS... I'm just saying that it is going to be interesting to finally see the setup in action.

trip1eX · « **Reply #41 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:49:54 PM »

a quote from the article,

"it brings something new to the fps genre." Sounds like it's an fps to me.

The article also says they went to Japan to show Miyamoto and Iwata their idea and got the first revolution controller prototype. And they worked closely with Nintendo engineers.

BigJim · « **Reply #42 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:50:25 PM »

Very cool.

My first impression was artist renditions, but if we can get confirmation that these are in-game, even if doctored by the developer, then I will say "wow!"

jasonditz · « **Reply #43 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:51:37 PM »

I remember importing the Japanese version of House of the Dead for the Saturn and some guns for it. Cost me a bundle but it was so worth it.

I love lightgun games, and I hope we get some.

Artimus · « **Reply #44 on:** April 07, 2006, 02:57:28 PM »

You guys, I don't think the crosshairs do move freely. In the one where his gun is held normally the crosshair is centered. It's not centered when it's gangsta style, which makes perfect sense. So I think it is centered, except when the gun is tilter.

Very nice. E3 can't come soon enough..

Best news. That's EXACTLY what Nintendo should be doing - work closely with all the major third parties to implement the functionality intuitively.

It can't be edge sensitivity if you can circle-strafe just be keeping your cursor on the target, unless the target is at exactly the right angle. My money's on a combination of edge sensitivity and using an L button to activate turning. Pressing the button would center the screen on the cursor, and holding the button would force it to follow the cursor. Turning far enough without pressing the button would still turn the screen (gives a more natural feel).

VERY COOL screenshots! but if this is GI idea of an aprilfool joke head WILL roll!

slacker · « **Reply #48 on:** April 07, 2006, 05:18:21 PM »

I can't wait to see the controller and its setup in action. From what I read so far from various developers, they seem to think the controller is great. So I want to see if Nintendo perfected this technology. They have been working on this type of technology since the days of the NES. This would a great technological achievement on Nintendo's part if the controllers have no annoying problems. As far as the games go...it looks nice. Very comparable to XBOX360 at this point. Graphics doesn't concern me at this point. I am very interested in the controller. However, knowing what the graphics would look like gave me some comfort.

Magik · « **Reply #49 on:** April 07, 2006, 05:30:12 PM »

I believe these are in-game screenshots since a confirmed Ubisoft employee on the IGN forums said they were not concept art.

As for the shots themselves, they definitely look good enough for me and gives a good indication of the graphical power of the REV, but I think I'm going to hold out and wait for a video of actual gameplay because a nice still-shot will mean nothing if the actual gameplay is crap.
