Revolution Editor Roundtable

1Up have a video with Mark McDonald from Electronic Gaming Monthly. He explain how it will work and how it feel by playing with the controller. He always gives a few extra words how to play with it while sitting. And its not like the officiel video, were people waving like they was crazy or something. Anyway, download the video and enjoy it.

And like Ken Kutaragi was saying,
Nintendo concept is very nice, we might steal it.

Watch it

i think you shouldve warned us 56k people first 100meg. WTF

That was actually very interesting, thanks Chrise.
I sat there for 5 minutes holding a remote controller in my right hand and mouse in my left.

Haha np

intresting stuff

Why should he warn you that a video has a large file size? It's not like once you clicked the link you couldn't do anything until it finished loading. You weren't forced to load it.

OOOOoooooooooooooooohhhh......Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh....Gasp!
Nice vid

Downloading now, thanks for the link.

Was intresting, thanks for the link.

Stream for free and the video begins straight away. But I am unsure on whether it works like that on 56K.

hmm very nice thx for the link

Just watched it, all for the revo chin strap!

Interesting to watch, didn't really tell me anything new, but I can see how it could clarify the control system to people who don't quite understand it yet.

I was slightly worried that some of them were claiming Nintendo had just designed Sony's next generation pad, I had the impression Nintendo wanted to establish their own market away from competition

Roughly 20 mins with 1MB connection.

I'd be very surprised if some the motion sensor technology didn't make it to a sony and/or microsoft console at some point. Bottom line is that good ideas are rarely missed and this one will be stolen like all the others.

and congrats on 2000 posts soundworks.

It's pretty typical of the image Nintendo have in the industry now. If Microsoft had made it people would be saying how great it is and how much market share they will gain. Nintendo make it and the response is one of "i guess it will be ok", and "wait until Sony do it better in 5 years". Nintendo need to spend some of the $5bn to make sure this isn't the case and that they are a massive success this time around. Certainly things have started well and the overall design of their entire console is excellent for gamers and soon-to-become-gamers

"Is the Revolution controller a good idea that will take a company like Sony to do it right?"

Gee, I'm sure Nintendo thanks you for the vote of confidence. I swear, many people are just going to downplay anything Nintendo makes in order to make a difference in videogame designs, be it hardware or software. They'll get their mistakes rubbed into their faces while good ideas that hit mainstream will be pointed out as nothing really great.

I've seen a forum thread on the Sega boards and people there were just downplaying everything Nintendo. People would defend like bringing up rumble pack, analogue sticks, shoulder buttons, etc. but then others would go on like Atari had analogue sticks or that there were wireless controllers before. And you know, IMO, both had valid points but the latter group just seems... well, I don't know. I mean there's this level of annoyance that surrounded it all. Heck, it was like someone saying network gaming isn't really that innovative, it was there since people strung up two cans with a wire and played phone. And of course there's one person who claimed that Microsoft will be the first to have wireless controllers. One would then correct him and say Nintendo already has Wavebird but the other would say he mean the first to have it "standard." Ridiculous. What's next, who was the first to use the color black for a videogame console? Talk about petty.

I agree WillHaven with what you said. Personally, all these feuds is enough to push me away from gaming (or at least the community). Here we are with three powerful consoles, one with a (relatively?) new controller design and two others pushing for the next level of a multimedia hub and we're going to go another round of "Haha, the Revolution is ONLY 2-3 times more powerful that the original Xbox." Sheesh, appently they mean that the Xbox had "crappy" graphics all along. Makes you wonder why we put up with the "Xbox has the best graphics" arguments (over and over and over). Maybe these people should skip the upcoming generation too. We wouldn't want their eyes to bleed from all the ugliness of it all ('cause you know we'll get better looking ones after those).
