The guy who works for a game editor and released X360 specs (which proved to be accurate) now has released REVOLUTION specs, and, they are not bad
Sure for physics calculations it won t be able to tackle with 360 and PS3 but i think that for simpler mechanics games like we know today for PC it will be nice, there is potential here to be fancy while creative

Both are just as likely.
I'm impressed. That's one hell of a TV remote.
no longer will I feel intimidated when I sit down to play videogamesQuote:

Nintendo is a hypocritical whore of a company, and I would like them to just give up and turn third party. their low-spec technology mixed with kooky innovation is annoying, not exciting.
Nice specs, Waaaay too outlandish Ideas.
failure.
p.s. i'm a diehard Nintendo fan(i'm black)
This things is so going to be like $199.
Thats why you guys have the 360 and PS3 to play your mature games on...
See, I don't give 2 fucks about either one of them...
The Rev is going to be an outstanding success...
I want to try out the games for it, they will be great.
The 360 and PS3 will own the Rev in sales, but I won't care because I'll be playing 18 holes in my living room on the Rev.
that controller is going to suck for playing SNES games on. why not just go back to the snes controller?
or joysticks!?
Maybe they will port that arcade game where you stick your finger up your mother in law's ass...
The Revolution controller would be perfect for it.
The Rev's specs arent too bad but yes the X360 and the PS3 are still more powerfull.
I don't think that controller will be what it looks like when it's released, It's just stupid for gaming.
Hopefully the sales WILL be so much lower than the other two that they go under. I hear the argument all day long that you can go for Sony or Microsoft if you want mature games, but what about the kid that buys a Revolution and can't afford a second console? I owned a Gamecube for years before I finally took the plunge and got a PS2. I went YEARS without good games because I didn't have the extra money at that time. Nintendo fucked me, just like they do many others, and I'm now on a mission to fuck them...hard.Quote:

also, re4 (resident evil 4) really showed what kind of real power the cube has. Too bad thats the only game that really does that. :(
I won't argue about your second statement, thats personal opinion. But, initial specs are NEVER right + the graphics chip in the rev has a 600 clock, as opposed to the others 500's. But you never know...Quote:

I will admit that Sony manufactures products with cheaper build than Nintendo, but I buy my systems for games, not the build quality of what I put my game disc in. When did I get so stupid? Go walk into a game store and take a look at the PS2 shelves and then walk over and take a good long stare at the Nintendo shelf. Hopefully then you will also become as stupid as I apparently am.Quote:

It's going to have a TON of cache and be capable of doing more work per cycle than either the xbox360 or PS3 cores.
There's also something about a PPU unit (similar to the Aegis design) in the console.
I always look at the PS2 shelves, I have been since Oct. 2000. I like SSX, GTA3, and uhhhh I think thats about it, great system. I'll take "some good" games over 5000 shitty ones anyday. But thats just me.Quote:

The PS3 has faster RAM and processor and the fact that the GFX chipset in the PS3 is more advanced than the currently out GeForce 7800 Ultra's.
I think it's just a little to late for the big N at this point.
The Rev. does seem kinda interesting,though.
We'll see.
B-
Exactly. Nintendo's next system is underpowered... again. Still looks interesting though. We'll see what happens.Quote:

You can take a highly stylized piece of shit and have zero fun with it compared to a "weak" powered nintendo game. It isn't about the games at all if you are just concerned with how pretty it looks. The Gamecube does a good enough job for Nintendo if they were to never make a more powerful system, the only thing I will say is I think the 1.5gb disc was a mistake. More powerful system DOES NOT = better games. If Cube lacks games its their fault, and the people making the games fault, not its "lack" of power.Quote:

regardless of specs/power etc. Nintendo basically is just ALIENATING their fans. They are just making up crazy random outlandish ideas and expecting us Die Hard Nintendo fans to be so happy excited about it. I'm hardly hyped about the Revolution anymore. I hate to say it but after I got Xbox live i've become quite a fan....
Nintendo doesn't realize that the basic formula for games that has been working for years is just fine. You can't always just force innovation in an unnatural way, especially if its costing you your fans.
They need to realize that their fans still like your run of the mill shooters, fighters, platformers, action games etc. They don't care though, they are just too big headed.
Yeah, you're why the state of gaming is so tepid and boring today.Quote:

Every single "gaming journalist" that has tried the revolution first hand has said that the controller feels so natural it is almost second nature to use.
I would wait to try it first hand before making up my mind about the revolution.
PS. This has nothing to do with the fact that you may or may not be a black man living in Germany.

I'm not saying ONLY make the same stuff over and over. Maybe I should have been clearer. For Nintendo to succeed, they need Innovation along side the basic formulas that have been working for years. Is that not right?
p.s. Being a black man in Germany has EVERYTHING to do with it. If Nintendo made a game called "Black man in Germany: Teens love blacks edition" People would pay. I know stinky dinkins would buy it.
But we are also on a site dedicated to old 2D hardware and everyone is crying about power and graphics.Quote:

I think the Snes is still better than Gamecube, but if you give me the choice of a gamecube with a kooky controller and the posibility of paying for and downloading Snes roms, I'd rather buy a PS3 and download the Snes roms for free on my computer. When it comes to 3D games the graphics really do matter, when it comes to 2D I don't care as much. I'm getting tired of ol' two-faced mole face (Miyamoto), and I'd piss in his coffee if I ever visited his office.Quote:

thats like saying "fuck 90% of gamers!", great if you wanna be a niche company. not so good if you want to do good business.Quote:

I'll withhold judgement until I've actually used this controller, but Spin has it right, innovation is not something that should be forced on us, and that's just what Nintendo is trying to do.
PS: I wish I were black. :crying:
That's what kernow wants Nintendo to become, a niche company, because mainstream can never be good.Quote:
