Gameinformer + Ubisoft + Nintendo Rev = Red Steel

Brooke from Broken Saints.

As for Nintendo? Well…I’ve heard it from both sides, really. A couple of tech director peers have certainly whined that the Rev architecture is exactly as stated – merely twice as powerful as the ‘Cube – and that Nintendo’s out of touch with this generation, and will join Sega in the software-only game in the NEXT next-gen. Of course, I’m of the camp that it’s all about DESIGN…you know, like that old story of Miyamoto and the EAD teams playing around with game mechanics using a dot on a screen, and if it’s fun with a dot, then it’ll be fun with snazzy visuals? Remember that wacky old philosophy…the diametric opposite to American publishers, who cram as many A/V distractions and ‘back of the box’ features into a build between Alpha and Beta…and then struggle during the final months, desperately trying to figure out how to make the damn thing ‘fun’?

I’ve got friends working on using the Rev’ controller for all sorts of things. Flying/navigation (oh…and you can bet we’ll see the new Pilotwings in limited playable form at E3). Music titles (Taiko drums, anyone?). Unconventional sports (remember that Rockstar table tennis announcement? That’s something I proposed back in the EA days!). Shooters (DUCK HUNT 2006!!!) Even survival horror using the controller as a flashlight/knife combo! I think a lot of you are going to be VERY surprised at what is shown for Rev’ in a few weeks…and that’s on TOP of the Zelda: Twilight Princess sword and magic mechanics.

Yeah, but didn't he post this info on Brooke's website, and Brooke supported him or something??

PhoenixDark pretended to be a Nintendo employee and kept spaming Broken Saints' blog with his insider info.


From above link.
When I posted this almost a year ago, based purely on personal speculation and some industry detective work and whisperings, the reaction was overwhelming…and not all in a good way. Our server was slammed. The site crashed several times. A malicious code-kid hacked our PHP forums – with over 100,000 personal and poetic posts from the previous four years – and wiped them out. And when Nintendo failed to tip their hand at 2005’s E3 with confirmation either way? Well…I was more than a little vilified by the hardcore loyalists, and was accused of making the post for a short-term boost in traffic, and teaming with an anonymous wanker named ‘Aries’ to stir the pot and stretch our ‘15 minutes’. So let me state unequivocally – all of it’s bullshit. No-one can be held responsible for being linked by major game and news sites because of a relatively innocuous blog post. I certainly did the best digging I could with respect to my journalistic background. The connections between the graphics, film, and display industries were all there…and it doesn’t take a time machine to jump back ten years and remember that stereoscopic 3D has been something the Big N has been playing with seriously for a LONG time (Virtual Boy, anyone?).

And seriously, kids - if the happiness of your collective futures hinge on the nature of ANYTHING in the entertainment industry – a movie, a band, a comic, a game, porn, Broadway musicals, etc - well, you really need to pause and reflect on the emotional and spiritual ramifications of such a focus. Dangerous and frightening stuff…because you are destined to be disappointed.

Haha, I never knew PhoenixDark was Aries. I normally don't read 8 million page threads.

Damn. Someone get him laid.

Speaking of: PheonixDark, if you're reading this, I know a few really desperate Umich chicks who would no doubt jump your junk.
 
I'm not sure if anyone has seen this, but here goes:

This morning Matt "Assamassina" Cassamassina posted in his blog that we probably wouldn't be seeing any more Revolution unveilings before E3.

As a counterpoint, I just saw Matt Leone's blog on 1UP saying that we will probably see some more announcements for Revolution prior to E3.

Those pics look cool.

Eh, screw the graphics man. C'mon guys. The Rev just looks damn fun. New kinds of fun. New experiences.

And really, isn't that what gaming is about?

Exactly. Who cares if the characters shadows are circles? :lol

He is a mysterious being who does not bend to the pressures of social norms. He transcends human culture and becomes something entirely different... something free from the shackles of judgement and oppression. He is an icon and a guiding light for us all.

His vision is a world of fun for everyone, at anytime, anyplace and by any means!






he's a tool

No where in that article does he say that "there won't be any more revolution game info before E3". He just that he doesn't know anything about a game unvieling on the 20th.

I would take anything Matt Cassamassina has to say with a huge grain of salt - for years he has always acted like he is much more an "insider" than he really is...

This is an old posting. In any case, I'm not sure what your definition of insider is. But Matt has access to a lot of people in the industry. If that's not an insider, I'm not sure what is. Yes, he gets things wrong, but he is a very powerful force in the industry in my opinion. Especially with regards to Nintendo.

Insider contacts, fine. But a powerful source in the industry? :lol

He is a direct link between Nintendo and the rabid Nintendo fans out there. He is able to make them march with one or two words as though they were his army. And we are talking about thousands of internet users. I think that's pretty powerful.

The flipside being that this cult of his is all but ready to overthrow him, preferably on top of a stack of really sharp sticks, whenever he says something that the cult does not agree with. I guess he's the video game industry equivalent of a PR rep for a minor weather god in a really rainy region, or something.

Heh, a good point. Whether or not he can continue to stand atop Mount Tendo is another question entirely.

meh, self-respecting Nintendo fans view him as irrelevant. He gets his news stories from GAF, and the rest of the time he sits around thinking of ways not to get fired.

You say that as if you know it for a fact, do you work in the same office as him?
