Nintendo Revolutions Controller, Lets check it out.. Options

[EddieV]

The new Nintendo Revolution's Controller looks really interesting. Nintendo said they want to change the way we play video games. I think out of the three system, Nintendo to me looks the most promising. The X-Box 360 only has a few new features and slightly better graphics. But basically everything is the same. Here's a link to the Nintendo Revolution's new controller.

I'm getting the impression you didn't even see the mockup video of the revolution controller in use. How about you watch that first, then you come back and continue this arguement.

i saw it about a week ago on IGN. i never knew what the rev's controller looked like, so i typed it in on google. and the ign site came up. i saw the controllers and i thought "nooooo that cant be it, thats gotta be like the remote to a dvd system or something" then i saw the video, and i was like ":mellow: ooookay..." have fun with that. look at the video, and listen to the sounds that the "games" are making as the player swing their remotes like fools. to me this implies that the games will be arcade like. which turned me off. to me this is a gimmick, more than trying to be "revolutional" i mean c'mon without this new controller, what else does the nintendo have to offer that the others dont? the others have better games and more fans. which pits revolution in 3rd again. so what did they do? the brilliant idea of the remote. and if it is not a gimmick, why did they have a WHOLE commercial centered around the controller? BEFORE advertising even a clip or photo of a graphics shot at the least. and actually, it seems as though to me that the revs controller makes things more complicated, throwing your arms about, and hopping around just to play a damn game, ehhhh. geared towards kids much?
please someone, please explain to me how, in detail, you would play a game like prince of persia with this controller. please.

As opposed to throwing a boomerang or remarking how much your controller looks like the Dreamcast controller? You can find a reason to hate any controller.

whats my controller? are you talking about xbox? because, i dont even own an xbox 1.

but the 360 doesnt look much like the dreamcast controller.

erm close to same color and thats about it.

Sounds like sour grapes and fanboyism to me. Well, if you're not into the immersiveness, and if you're really concerned that you'll look like a "retard," then obviously the revolution is not for you. I can't imagine why someone who calls themself a gamer would think this way, but to each his own.



I've never played any of the newer Prince of Persia games, but from what I saw of Sands of Time, I'm sure it's playable with the analog stick dongle.

The only game I can't see it being played with are fighters, and ironically, Super Smash Bros.

Very good, you linked to an image from Sockmaster's Controller Family tree. But did you take a look at it? The Xbox line can clearly trace its roots to the DC controller.

Look at the button/stick locations, the color scheme, the expansion slots. It's clear that the 360 was heavily influenced by the DC. Hell, take a look at this:

Although that kinda diverges from the point about controllers, you get the point.
