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.

It ISNT fit for all games!^ it only has 4 damn buttons! that's a step backward not a "revolutional" step forward. its not about being afraid of change dammit. its not like we havent used anything like that before . its all just arcade. we all gave you valid reason as to why it just wont work well, it is flawed. if we were afraid of change, we wouldnt even want a ps3 or 360. stop looking at it and just thinking it looks cool because of its concept. and actually really think about it. nintendo knew it wouldnt work for everything so thats why they have the peripheral controller (which i think is pretty nice looking). its more of a eye toy thing. and shall work well with only eye toy like games, which usually suck. and thats that. They're going to have an entirely new controller, that takes some real familiarization / calibration, and they're going to be selling at least initially to a lot of fanboys...

...will we be seeing Duck Hunt Revolution on release?

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, oooh fun.

i want this question answered..... and if im playing a car game, how can i turn my car in a quick 180 turn? will i have to turn my wrist in an awkward position? imagine it for a sec. and will all the sword games you play have to be in first person? because it seems like it will be stupid 3rd person. and first person sword games=ehhhh. also, Is there a review of the Revolution controller being used in an actual game? I read the reviews at IGN from X05 where the press could use the controller on the little demo apps. As they all said, it gave them an idea of how it COULD be used, but without actual gameplay, so im still not convinced. ...and what about 3rd party support? did they completely dismiss that? because i was looking into this more and many people are asking the same question.

Because there is no way to tell if indeed it will be a "Powerglove" type failure until after you use it. Meanwhile, liking the concept of a controller that tracks your movements does not require you to have held the controller. I can't see how the concept is bad if it works as intended.

Maybe you guys would rather mash buttons. I'd rather aim with the controller in a football game than deal with centering a passing cone. I'd rather slash low than press Down + X+Y. I'd rather actually aim a gun than wave around analog sticks. I dunno, it just seems a lot more fun.

its official, your an arcade gamer. this isnt something new its basically arcade like. i played Halo 2 in an arcade in California, and they made u use a light gun and a joy stick. it was AWFUL. absolutely frustrating. so you making this sound like somethng nobody experienced before is stupid. this isnt new, nor revolutional. sure arcade games are fun, but i and like 99% percent of the population still have more fun with a controller in REAL games. its not even a comparison. by the way your not aiming with a gun your aimng with a remote. how should that make you feel more "immersed". and why are you now dissing the controller you've been playing with since you were born? like you never had fun with it hey, they also have a tekken 5 booth in gameworks where when you kick the person kicks and when you puch, the person punches! thats more advanced than the rev controller, and that was done along time ago. but guess what? ITS NOT THAT FUN,and definately not more fun than a controller. sure in theory you'd think "awsome, how could this go wrong?" well it went wrong, because when you kick and the person kicks: its slow, it doesnt respond quick enough or at least as quick as a controller would, it reduces the game to be robotic and did i mention its an incredibly slow fight? you are thinking to naively about this, of course its supposed to seem more fun because "OMG i'll feel like im actually doing it"
thats the same pull in they did when they first introduced the damn light gun, and here you are falling for it again and acting like its something new. but seriously,This really isn't all that amazing, as the Revolution controller uses Gyration technology. A few years ago (either 2002 or 2003), Nintendo signed a deal with Gyration Technologies, and everyone pretty much brushed it off as no big deal.

So all in all they better have godlike 1st party titles or they're f**ked.
