Support NeoGAF

[mckmas8808]

I have trouble even navigating menus with the eyetoy, so I can only imagine trying to design a real game around it. The problem with eyetoy is that there's no physical feedback whatsoever. You're not actually touching anything to play the game, so it's hard to tell when you've moved far enough or if you went too far. Sometimes you seem to do the required motion perfectly and it still doesn't pick up because the lighting has changed or something. I don't claim to have spent a ton of time with the thing, but it seems too unreliable to depend upon for a full game.

I hear you, but I read that the PS2's hardware was the main thing holding the possiblies of the eyetoy.

I believe that was originally posted by an editor on the GI forums.

Er...I meant thats the date for all publications, not just GI (i mean IGN, Gamespot, 1up, etc.) so we'll be seing a bunch of games from various sources

 

[Beer Monkey]

Well Jaffe and those other "creative" minds working on the PS3 need to get there ass in gear and make something creative using the freaking eyetoy. I mean is it that hard?

Meh. Fragmented user base. If Sony wants me to be excited about Eyetoy they need to bundle it with the system so that it gets heavy support instead of a handful of cool titles.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

Over at the ign boards, the official date for media (i.e. videos and shit) is April 20th. Interestingly enough, they also mention MUCH more third party games possibly being shown on that day as well.

Thursdayton! Spanuuuund!

drop that bomb, spanud. yeah.

 

[PkunkFury]

I love the eyetoy but the support for it is so poor. Harmonix is my favorite PS2 developer, simply because they are willing to do stuff with the eyetoy, mic and of course guitar controller. AntiGrav is a blast. I hope they have something for the Rev as well

Is kermit having a seizure? Or is he just in shock from the megaton?

What if they bundle it with a first party next-gen game like GT5? What if Kaz thought of a way to mix eyetoy with driving a car?

That would be the next best thing, I suppose.

If you could flip the bird in Burnout, I'd love that. Yeah, like that would happen.

april 20th..... JUST DROP DA BOMB

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying that I heard it was originally posted at the GI forums, not the IGN ones.

if nintendo is letting 3rd party's reveal a bunch of stuff prior to e3, they must have some serious first party stuff to show... It's probably just a way of letting these 3rd party games get some hype built up before EAD drops some bombs. Very exciting.

Nintendo's done this whole staggered reveal thing before. I think a month or two before E3 2004, there were those Metroid Prime 2 shots from NP, and that Game Informer RE4 article too and they didn't spend too much time on those during the conference, instead spending a lot of time on the DS and the whole OMGWTF moment of Zelda:TP being revealed.

I think Nintendo's probably doing the same thing this year, but like you said, the vast majority of the time at the press conference will be showing first party games, demonstrating how the controller works, and revealing the unknown remaining details of the system (Wifi, Virtual Console details, etc.) I'm just thinking that any of the games shown before hand (i.e. Red Steel and whatever else we got comin') will show up in 2 minute trailer format at the Press Conference, with main impressions coming from the show floor.

And it's funny... I just have this feeling that Nintendo has PLENTY to show this year. They seem confident and ready to go... I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic, but I'm more excited for this E3 then any other one before.

 

[GDGF]

Late to the party I guess :lol

Gotta say the game looks fantastic, and the description of the gameplay is more than I could have ever hoped for. This is the real deal. I am seriously marking out over here. Day one purchase and all that.

 

[Scalemail Ted]

So 10 more days til new info?

 

[ronito]

huh huh...420...

 

[Beezy]

So 10 more days til new info?

10 long ass days.

 

[MutFox]

huh huh...420...

Can't believe I didn't notice that.

 

[VOOK]

10 long ass days.

10 Days, 1000's Panda's and then still 19 Days till E3... when will the madness end

 

[Error]

so... another megaton on April 20th?.....

Well the cool thing is... there is NOTHING being made for the cube except twilight princess... Just about everybody that isn't working on DS games has probably been shifted to next gen for a long long time. Nintendo may only have 4 - 6 games playable on the showfloor, but i bet we will see trailers and here descriptions of tons of stuff that is coming out later. I'm almost glad they gave up on the cube so early.

 

[effzee]

can someone rationalize why nintendo after holding for soo long would not only allow this to be revealed but also much more media when e3 is around the corner? i mean ok one game might make sense by why release any more? why not ride this to e3 and keep the rest a secret? or is it to show off 3rd party stuff and save thier own AAA games?

 

[gjb-sensei]

Certainly seems that way.

They might be really confident that actually experiencing the controller at E3 will be enough to cause another surge of hype among the press, so they want to get everyone hyped on the content of the games now as a pre-emptive strike.

 

[SpiffyG]

Can't believe I didn't notice that.

Nintendo must ration out the spannud lest the internet collapse on itself.

true but for some reason i still believe the best would be to not show anything more till e3.

Oh yeah. Damnit, I always forget what day that is.

I guess if I did smoke pot I would remember it, ey?

hey i dont mind it. but i just dont get thier view or point of it. they held it in for soo friking long....i would have thought they would have kept everything secret till e3.

just a number....

I think they are letting 3rd parties get publicity first and in general build hype because let's face it, when Nintendo shows their 1st party stuff everyone forget about the 3rd parties.

ya, i think it's like throwing 3rd party's a bone... Red steele would be drowned if it was unvieled next to mario and metroid prime 3 and whatever else nintendo has in store.. Apparently 3rd party's are giving nintendo some love, so nintendo is giving some love back by letting them have their own day in the sun, prior to e3.

Man I'm soooo hyped about the Rev!!

E3 looks like this for me:

1. MGS4
2. Rev
















3. That other stuff.

someone needs to photoshop iwata, miyamoto, reggie, yamauchi and kaplan as potheads etc.

Quite frankly, anything and everything related to the Revolution is all I need at E3 2006. That doesn't mean I'm not looking forward to anything on the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3/DS/PSP/etc., but all I need is stuff related to the Revolution.

 

[Oblivion]

Glad someone agrees with me. As much as I'd love to see some leaks before E3, I just think it'd be better if everything just exploded at once on that sure day.

 

[ethelred]

I don't know about that, there's omething to be said for smaller leaks and reveals beforehand. Look at how seriously hyped the Red Steel announcement has gotten everybody. 2200+ post thread, 140k views? And if you read the thread, people are insanely hyped. It's gotten everyone even more hyped for Revolution stuff than they were before.

 

[Cooter]

Why show now?

It's been said before but I really feel Nintendo thinks a few screenshots and game play details is nothing compared to 100's of the industry's most devoted fans actually experiencing it.

Just a guess?

It isn't nothing when you haven't been shown anything in months, if not years.

 

[Cooter]

It isn't nothing when you haven't been shown anything in months, if not years.

But what if it is? After E3 there will be two camps, those who have played Revolution and those who have not.

 

[DefectiveReject]

Like someone said. Nintendo are probably allowing 3rd parties to have some press now, as I expect that on the day of the conference you’re gonna have the following shown

Revolution
Controller
Final Secret
Nintendos Revolution games
BIG 3rd party exclusives (Sq-enix level games)
Zelda TP
Wi-Fi service
Virtual console service
Development ease and excitement video ala DS intro video.
DS
DS games


So there’s not gonna be a lot of room for these games to be fully explained and given the credit they deserve. So Nintendo is letting them grab the spotlight for a few days.

 

[deadhorse32]

WTF 46 pages ?

 

[Rocked]

Glad someone agrees with me. As much as I'd love to see some leaks before E3, I just think it'd be better if everything just exploded at once on that sure day.

I think Nintendo doesn't want their own games to overshadow what the third parties are doing. I'm sure most stuff will be saved for E3 anyway.

 

[superfly]

for what is perhaps only my second thread, I'm impressed

[Blackcherry]

Can't wait for E3 baby! (those who are going, better tell us how it is inside , lucky bastards)

 

[Rocked]

I don't know why people are surprised by the length of this thread. Whenever the first ever game is revealed for a new console it would be the same.

 

[DefectiveReject]

WTF 46 pages ?

Take away the posts of people saying stuff like this and i think we get 45 pages !:lol :lol

I really do hope we get Shiggsy demonstrating Mario on stage or Iwata, Reggie and Shiggsy in a big sword fight in a Zelda mini game or something. Imagine the photoshops that would provide!!

I also wonder what the likes of Gaybrush and The Colonel, who we know are from Nintendo and must have seen this thread, think of the reaction from everyone. No matter what website you go to, people are digging what this game offers, and the fact that the graphics are fairly acceptable for next gen (!!)
Come on guys give us your opinion, Are you surprised? or did you expect this :lol
