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.

You're already dismissing the controller, implying that it will be hated by a large percentage even though the vast majority of people who have actually played it absolutely love it. This is not to say you can't have a different opinion. However, the reasons you have used to support this opinion are extremely superficial. Seriously, who the hell cares what they look like when playing videogames? And the video was just something to emphasize how different the controller was, and how it could attract so many people. In fact, I don't see how playing with this controller would make you look retarded anyway. If you're so against the idea of going through the motion of swinging a sword or shooting a gun, why are you playing a sword game or shooter in the first place? Do you say "Hahaha, Mitsurugi looks like a retard!" when playing Soul Calibur? The character would only move like a retard if the person holding the controller moved in an akward fashion. If one has problems swinging a sword correctly, it's not the controller's fault.

lol wtf, okay your not listening. you totally disregarded what i said about "thats not all its about". do you honestly think im the only one that ever said this? the majority of people i know that is going to be "your average buyer" say quote "wtf thats so gay hahaha" frankly, it wouldnt matter if the controller was a fricken masterpiece. people will go "what the hell" just as i did and not buy after taking first glance. but guess what? i highly doubt it will be a "revolutional" masterpiece. and gamecube was already not the most liked system in the world and is the pun of every console joke on g4, so i dont understand why they would take the chance of being hated even more. im just saying, from what i see and from what i know what the controller will do, thats not what i, and many others will want. for one example, considering seeing that the buttons b and o are located at the bottom of the controller and the d-pad at the top that tells EVERYONE ive talked to and myself that the buttons are too far away from eachother, making it uncomfortable, and will mess up how you play.

what.....the.....hell well if you plan on looking like a samurai warrior while playing you go ahead im just saying thats not all necessary, especially when there is going to be sacrifices in gameplay. like: how will you be able to perform combos? will you have to act out the combo yourself? or will it limit the game your playing to robotic movements to try to match yours. and how will it handle intensity in an fps like in call of Duty 2? id really like to see that. and once again doing all those things that you would have to do to play, you would be working harder than i am.( if i had a regular controller)
i could see it now, me and some other guy sitting on the couch playing a versus match in any game, i'd just be sitting on the couch with my regular controller, and he'd have a rev. like controller. i'd just be sitting there playing comfortably , while most likely wooping his ass, while he's got 2 controllers in each hand fwailing about, sweating, pointing his remote towards the tv, waving his arms around until he passed out. yeah ill just stick with the traditional thank you.

What's your point about me making threads that point out what Sony is doing wrong? Maybe because Sony IS doing something wrong (unless you actually like rootkits and a corporation perverting the artform of graffiti and the Kutaragi talking arrogantly). Maybe if the validity of what Sony is doing is debatable, you'd have a point, but the allow a customer's system to be exploited and vandalizing public property is unnacceptable from a company. I'm not the only one that believes this either, nor am I the one making threads on these matters. If you're not concerned, you really should read up on it.

lol to be quite honest, and i know i speak for many others when i say this, i could give a rats ass what sony does, as long as they give me a good and reliable system their fine with me. they have been, are, and probably will still be the number one console, they pulled in the most money,and they never dissapointed, so they're doing something right. maybe nintendo should take some lessons and think about their real gamer consumers before they do something drastic.
