Naked Shuriken said:remember how they were hyping Project Reality. It was the same PR job before 2 years before launch. EGM was going on and on about how it would change gaming, how it would invent new genre. I'm sure we could dig up articles about the cube It's the typical console pre-hype for the next gen. Thing is Nintendo has lost the shine of their brand name in this current generation, and thats why they are turning to gimmicks.
We're going to start hearing absolutely crazy statements from Reggie, those people at Sony and the Microsoft PR dept any time now. I cant wait for the first wave of "OMFG WE COULD RENDER EPISODE 1 IN REAL TIME ON A PS2" and "IT WILL BE LIKE JACKING INTO THE MATRIX" type statements.

Amir0x said:Good question. The truth is, nobody knows exactly how to pronounce it. It can also be YHVH or JHVH or JHWH, all which are the Hebrew Tetragrammaton representing the name of God. The general consensus is "Yah-weh", however. Commonly rendered today as "Jehovah". But it's not 100% certain.

Congratulations, bitwise! You did good.
mCACGj said:Cause you know what the thing does...and you know what this machine is...oh wait. No, you then asked for people to spill info about it. That's logical.
Minotauro said:What's sad is that I already knew all that. That's what my original post was alluding to. Man, my humor sucks.
Die Squirrel Die said:See I think he was going for a ownage combo. You hit them with the first quote, but leave it linkless, thereby leaving a glimmer of hope for a comeback before finishing them off with an insultingly swift and nonchalant link.

Diffense said:Whatever advancement Nintendo is experimenting with will likely be in the interface and controller. I suspect standard controllers will also be available (if ports are to be at all feasible). The DS has a touch screen but it also has standard buttons and a D-pad.
Cain said:Yeah, those last two pics aren't working.
Oh snap, I'm stupid.Mama Smurf said:Emm...I think the last one is.
bitwise said:"The Nintendo DS's greatest features are its revolutionary control schemes, such as the touch-sensitive screen and the microphone input," Iwata said during a press conference at CEATEC, a large technology conference taking place here this week. "And its other major feature is the wireless connection. With it, we're going to revolutionize the way that games are played.
i think you should ask yourself what your reason for playing videogames is.Hollywood said:No because the GC is barely supported right now, and it seems to be very standard compared to what the Revolution is. No one is going to support a really weird risky machine.
I'm a Nintendo fan, but I'm personally against anything thats going to make me look like an idiot playing a game. I don't wanna beat on a bongo. I don't wanna play a game like I wouild the 'clapper'. I don't want to dance in front of a camara, or have a tilt controller and have to move it in a certain way, and I don't wanna yell into a microphone to control characters.
For a company that talks about simplifing games, they sure seem to be doing the opposite.

...Eventually, Actuality Systems said it could use similar technology to build lightweight versions of the 3D display that could be marketed to consumers for use with video game consoles, and has plans to begin work on such a display, said Actuality Systems' chief technology officer Gregg Favalora....
Any takers?

Mama Smurf said:I can't wait until we get virtual reality out of the way so we can move onto holograms! Awesome!
so you haven't played any games since 03, yet you've come to the conclusion that EyeToy, Bongos, and a Mic made games more complicated?Hollywood said:Don't ask me. I have a PSTwo, its not connected to my TV .. and I've only played it a couple times since I bought it back when it came out, and not since. Before that I hadn't had a game system since 2003. So basically I've played about half of Onimishu 3, and some of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 over the past year. The odd mission of GTA: SA over my friends too (I actually beat this one where I had to take out all these guys on a ship and shoot off a padlock and save guys, while I was fucking wasted last week.) So that's basically it.

can anyone say bunk?
Johnny Nighttrain said:don't change your argument man. that only makes you look worse. at the very least come up with a valid one.
i mean, saying stuff like "i don't need to play it to know it's complicated" when reffering to the bongos, eyetoy, or the mic just makes you look like a douche man.
your original point was that it made games more complicated, not that it made it more of a hassle to set up.
Hollywood said:I'm not changing anything. There's more ways of being 'complicated' than just using it. Same reason I wouldn't buy a steering wheel for a racing game or a giant shock seat or whatever to play games. Part to complicated to put all that shit together on your system, part I wouldn't feel comfortable using it.
Nintendo talked about simplicity being back in the days of having a 2 button controller to control games, not fancy controls and stuff. Yet bringing out perphirals, connectivity, touch screens, bongos, etc is simplicity? The complexity I'm talking about isn't difficulty in using it. I'm talking about simplicity vs. complexity.

ended up more like "project hiroshima"
teiresias said:Any game system that requires a person to make space for its own dedicated display device (ie. any game-centric holographic display) is destined to fail. People don't want to have to rearrange the living room to get the hologram projector next to the TV to be able to play games.
Hollywood said:Just because it comes with it doesn't change anything. Having to use other ways to play besides a controller - to me .. thats annoying. Everyone entitled to their opinion though. Just the same as why a lot of people don't bother with the touch screen on the DS for certain games.

Gahiggidy said:Also, I think another shot at VR-glasses might work with today's processing power and display tech. I think it could be quite practical IF they made the glasses transparent enough to still see into your surroundings. Imagine overleiging polygonal-Atari arcade games on top of your room/environment. Couple that with tilt sense that let's you change the viewpoint by moving your head... and you've got yourself something. (might need to have the lights dimmed to work best).
