Wow! High praise for the controller. I can't wait to try this thing out, but as excited as I am about the possibilities, I have plenty of reservations.
Software, however, isn't one of them. Nintendo has never failed to provide quality software for its hardware (quantity is another story). Fears of nothing but mini-games on the system can simply be laid to rest.

I saw the compliment, thanks for that. It really aint that important, thats my point.
It was following a presumptuous statement, thats all. Then again, if u where joking, my bad Nicky, I apologize. Im touchy today, fucking monday u know... hahaha.
The pic is there cause it has a meaning to me.

If Rev's control scheme truly is a massive upgrade over current controllers (that's a big IF), Sony and M$ would be forced to respond in kind -- and quickly. Would those on this board be receptive to Sony making Eye Toy the focus of PS3 development?

im gonna go with a yes considering he's the only one on the 1UP staff that isn't under the impression that you have to wave your hands all over the place.Bluemercury said:

I could be misreading your comments, but you seem to have a negative impression (or, at least, a far less enthusiastic impression).
I'm interested in hearing comments from someone who has actually used the controller and isn't gushing all over himself about it. You've probably posted impressions in the past, but can you share a little of your perspective?

He writes for a competitor. Form your own opinion when the controller is in our hands. Stop listening to MarkMacD or EDGE. Really.

For some reason, Nintendo hasn't come to my door offering a hands-on demonstration yet ... I've been sleeping in the living room, though, just in case ...

Don't get me wrong--I'm very excited about the possibilities. The controller is very precise and comfortable--I really like it. But everyone only got to play for about 20 minutes with various little tech demos (which -were- fun, in a mini-game sort of way) and one real game (prime 2).
The controller has huge potential, and I'm excited to see the various ideas and new concepts it raises explored in actual games. But based on that demo, making current controllers 'seem preposterous' is...well, preposterous. (Maybe for a game that begs for its features, like Loco Roco, but Rogue Galaxy? Nah.)

Fair enough. Thanks. It just seems that Nintendo has such a polarizing effect on the video game community. I get sick of all the hyperbole (good & bad), so it's informative to hear a reasonable, measured response to something that has yet to be put into practice.

Thanks for the impressions, by the way is it true that there will be another event before the end of the year???

So absolutely nothing new on Revolution. Splendid waste of time! No games, nothing. Vaporware!
More interested if EDGE played Loco Roco at TGS, unless they were too busy gripping their "soft rubbery" handset and fantasizing about all the currently non-existant revolutionary games that might exist one day.
Magazines really need to start trying to get exclusive content more, as otherwise the internet just renders forking out an extortionate ÂŁ5 for one, nonsensical with GAF around to pump me full of news and owl pics.

Can I call someone a sarcastic cunt without being banned? Just checking in advance before I do anything hasty.
Don't put words into my mouth. In case my post was ambiguous, I'll explain for you.
I love and hate all games machines and companies. Just as long as they feed me goodness I'm happy. So I don't hate on Nintendo.
I was commenting on Edge, not the Revolution. Edge have a habit of loving new stuff but then dropping it at the last minute for the next 'new thing'. That was all.
If you find anything trollish in my posts it is always unintended

I think Margaret got to see Revolution with Mark Mac from EGM during TGS. Only like 2-3 journos were allowed to see it and try it out.
how did my post put words into your mouth.mrklaw said:
1) You said Edge will hate it (Check)
2) You said the only games that could use the controllers's mini-games (check)
all I add is supportive statements like "the world needs unbiased people like you to beat some sense into people who tried the controller first hand."
now people hate me for being supportive to them ......
just got the new issue of Edge today, haven't finished it yet, but I have to say that it's a brilliant issue, the article on Rev is very well written and more balanced than those quotes make it look. Edge sure loved the controller, but they did point out concerns and negatives, for example with the MP2 demo.
And the TGS DVD is ace, much much better than their E3 one. They were wise to not have a narrator; it was very coherently organised and informative not only about the games but also about the show in general, I felt almost like I've been there after watching it. Looks like Edge is back on form, it's good to see that they're excited about gaming again.

What concerns and negatives did they have for the Metroid Prime demo?

They felt that they were so used to the regular MP2 controls, the Revolution port seemed a little difficult to adapt too. (IIRC)
/EDIT
Read for yourself
It's not that negative however - they go on to write...

So no negativity at all about the controller? Or what were the other concerns they had?
Their concerns are the usual ones like whether having more than one controller type might confuse the mass-market it's targeting; whether there will be a rash of lazy ports; whether the thrid-party will support and will it matter if it does etc. They didn't dwell on these concerns, but simply went through them in a paragraph to show that there are many questions to be answered. I was just saying that Edge isn't just blinded by the obvious potential. It is hard to fault Nintendo at this point with what's been shown. Edge's overall coverage of TGS put Rev in a positive light and at the same time made MS look rather stupid spending huge amounts on their booth and still get overshadowed by Rev and MGS4.
