Hey, this thread's got it all. Revolution trolling, forums flamefests... wow, it even got Amirox'd! And with ioi!

Wonder why it wasn't locked the first time round. :lol
 
Holy smokes, old school thread! (I wasn't around yet so reading this helps me try to understand GAF a little...although maybe that is a futile attempt)

I still stand by it with the caveat if everyone follows suit with Nintendo.

What will happen next gen? Will everyone, including Nintendo, just make more powerful consoles featuring the "remote" technology?

How long will the generation last? If Sony and Microsoft are beaten into 2nd and 3rd place, will they be happy to sit out the generation for 5 or 6 years, or will they start another console war before we need a new console?

Forget the fact that the Revolution might not (and probably won't) win. That's not what I'm talking about... I'm wondering how things will be if Nintendo's point (that graphics are less important than new forms of fun) is proven.

Sure i guess you could, but it would be Ninja Garbage instead of Ninja Gaiden.

NG on the VC? I'm talking about playing it just as it was played on the NES. Controller is essentially identical. Unless you're talking about a new NG. In that case I think the Wiimote swinging action would be great.

I really dont know where you rationally come off suggesting "probably won't" considering recent trends. It just seems like an initiative to reach common ground with sony/ms bots. It might be great to deter "CONSOLE WARZ" type discussions, but it just isnt true :P In any case nintendo already suggested they are going to go back to making more performance adept machines after this generation. I believe that if nintendo comes out on top sony or microsoft will have a strong market chunk, reinforcing the relevance of traditional type HARDCORE GAMERZ wants. So nice graphix are not going anywhere. Wii was a counter to address ongoing trends this generation in order to remain a viable competitor, with nintendo in the lead they would have no reason to keep up such a strategy unless overwhelmingly desired by the market. What should be alarming for next generation though its the incredible rate at which PC technology is progressing. The usual cycle seemed to indicate that it took at least a year or 2 before PC games truly catched up with consoles in providing a comparable affordable solution. Right off the bat this gen we saw more technically impressive pc titles then what was offered on consoles. Also the recent price cuts on intel quads and dualies and recent support from capcom are probable indicators of what is to come.

Oh my, my GAFology grade took a hugeeee hit. I am sorry for being busy with my non-forum life and not paying to this thread in the past. What an ignoramus i am. Total lack of culture. shut up.
 
It would only show that we approach to the point of diminishing return. That audio-visual plateau that we will hit within the next 10 years or so.
IT IS coming, it's just a matter of time. Nintendo is only a bit too much avant-gardiste maybe. We might see a couple of more powerfull console having the same kind of focus than the Wii does right now.

Progress will slowly shift from audio-visuals to another focus, cause everybody will be at ease with the quality we will have reached in AV.
 
oh shit! I wasted 10 minutes of my life reading first pages of this thread, wondering if everyone was instantly turned dumb calling "Revolution" the Wii... then I realized it was one year old

give me back my 10 minutes ToxicAdam!
oh, damn, it was funny...
