Don't you work for Microsoft now?chespace said:Everything's going to be okay, Nintendo fans. One of my sources here tell me so.

The guy is awesome and I had the fortune to meet him at E3. Heh, looking at these specs is great, Nintendo could never do UE3 I doubt even in a reduced fashion.
After all this, Silicon Knights is a big winner too. They left Nintendo probably after seeing some preliminary specs for REV and saddled with MS who has given them tons of funding to complete their dream game Too Human. Since SK is a story-driven epic game maker (like BioWare), they definately wouldn't want a system so underpowered. So I wouldn't expect any big epic games like Oblivion on the system now with these specs.

AdmiralViscen said:Yea, and what good did that do? People all over the country assumed it was weaker than both XBox and Playstation 2. What did all of that R&D and added hardware cost earn them? No mindshare, no market share, no sales. Everyone percieved it as less than it was.

Confidence Man said:At the very least it got those unfortunate souls who only owned Gamecubes some ports of Xbox/PS2 games to fill in the gaps between Nintendo's releases.
Name one person who actually believes the 4D goggles or lucid dreams? You can't, because everyone knows that's PR hyperbole. But there are NUMEROUS gamers on this board who've been buying into everything Nintendo's been saying about the REV.Ninja Scooter said:its PR dude, stop gettign so emotional over it. Nintendo's just trying to keep their name and the revolution out there and in gamers minds. Guess what, the PS3 isn't gonna come with 4D goggles and the Xbox won't make you have lucid wet dreams.
If Nintendo thinks they have even a remote chance of capturing a casual market of business men and housewives with the Revmote, it's over for them. This isn't Japan. Shit doesn't catch on here the same way it does there. Brain Training won't still be in the NPD Top 10 past even the summer, if at all.Ninja Scooter said:i think thats kinda the point. Nintendo isn't going for the "gamers that spend all day on a message board and know how many polygons per frame their favorite games are pushing". They are basically going for a much more casual market. Its a risk, but a smart one to take imo.

Edit: minus a few exceptions, I guess.
Awesome, Nintendo figures out a way to make round polygons!chespace said:Nintendo's last, yet-to-be revealed, secret is really going to fucking punch you in the gut.

Yes, I know that. But you just said "here" which I took to mean your work. Thanks for the clarification. Oh, and you comment on the other "secret" just easily doubled the size of this thread. :lolchespace said:One of my sources here... meaning Redmond. You do realize that Nintendo is also in Redmond?
snatches said:I'm sure I have to sleep on this before coming up with a reasonable response.
Seriously. An Xbox with the Revmote? Is this what they mean when they assured everyone that the Rev would be 2-3 times more powerful than Gamecube? Can anyone tell me that these specs represent that?
$149. It has to be. By the time the Rev launches, I'll be able to pick up an Xbox with the same specs for $99.
How can they charge more than $149???
Oh, and you can probably throw true 16:9 support right up the window. The fill rate would tax the hardware to Gamecube levels with only 854 X 480p resolution.
Fuck my dreams are shattered.

Thats what people said about the DS/Nintendogs.
And you can best believe the 100+ million actual casual gamers that Sony and MS have do give a damn about visuals.
There's plenty of market to go around, hell there is plenty of room to create NEW markets. You can't use the opinion of friggin gamers on an internet videogaming messageboard. With most people here there is a love/hate it thing for ninteondo. People that hate Nintendo wouldn't have bought a Rev no matter how great the graphics were, and people that love Nintendo will get one no matter what.
Some of you are thinking too much in the box of what gaming has been for the last 5 years. If you are one of those people (hell I am one of those people) that just wants an extension of the Playstation/Xbox, then get a PS3 or 360. Rev is not for you.

Strike said:AND that was because they cut corners by not including a dvd drive or an online service(big mistake). They lost marketshare when they started getting shafted with their 3rd party support. I'm still in the dark with Rev now. The developers seem to be excited, right?
