i dont like smegsoft. he is not even a click master. you have a choice of xbox 360 or ps3 + a revolution. i will lol when sony/microsoft fanboys get excited about the x-remote and gyroscopic boomerang. fanboys are teh gay.
I personaly think nintenod are the best of the bunch, sadly sega died the same death that nintendo are heading towards, they come up with Great ideas, fantastic games, and try to revolutionise the gaming world but its companies like SONY! and MICROSOFT that drag them down, they release as much crap as possible, as quickly as possible and dont give a rats arse about the future of the idustry all the care about is lining there ever deepening pockets with the cash from titles made by shitty sell out companies like EA. Nintendo and sega have always and will always be best and with respect to everyone here, people who think sony and microsoft are good companies should be pinned out in the sun and left to decompose.
Games and charcters like Mario, Zelda, Sonic and all other characters that reprosent these companies are fantastic, even square are moving back to nintendo (not entirely). Square Enix is another example of the money grabbing sony, Spin offs from Final fantasy games!!!! what is that about. its sad to see it happen but its the way its gonna be, soon we will all be sitting in front of some Over priced Sony product playing the 12th sequel to a game made by EA and we wont be able to do a damn thing about it!
Is a remake a spin off?
im talking about 10.2!
a remake is because the game is soo great that people want it again, a spin off is when they finish making somthing and think "hey we could make alot of money by using the Final fantasy name a make a really shit game thats nothing like any of the others and pass it off as an add on, then people with small brains and too much money to waste will throw there wads of hard earned cash into the never ending pit next to sony chairmans desk!"
ps.i would pass a heavy load into my undergarments if they released a remake of 7!
X_Sheep: I confess - I just found the video at Gamespot and watched it. None of the write-ups i've read had mentioned any of that stuff, LOL!
I'm a lot less disapointed with the controller now. I think it may well have what it takes to be a success.
The fundamental problem that designers are having with games consoles these days is they're too powerfully focussed on existing genres. This has the potential to create entirely new ones, or totally revamp existing ones - just as the X-Box controller's dual-joystick system redefined console FPS games.
One thing I'm worried about are the AB ab buttons. There's uppercase and lowercase, and I seriously hope they do the same thing (so pressing 'A' and pressing 'a' do the same action). I can't see how you could reach those lowercase buttons otherwise. The principle of two-handed controlers always enabled you to do button combos (like up+b), but this won't be so possible in Revolution.
That said, I can imagine the d-pad will be made almost redundant by the joystick and pointer features.
The lowercase a and b buttons are actually X and Y buttons, as shown in the final part of the movie. When you rotate the controller 90 degrees to get a NES controller, you can use the X and Y buttons as A and B.

Can you not use a gamecube controller with the Revelution? I thought it could...

Yes it does, it has 4 ports for GC controllers on the top, plus they're building a GC Controller like housing for that remote.
Craps, I'm an old man!

Come to think of it, if the Revolution is much cheaper than say PS3 they could do quite well. I bought a DS over the PSP, mainly because of its 'unqiue' features such as touch screen. Now I eagerly await Nintendogs . Anyone else got a DS?
I'm after one of those. i dont know about everyone here but dont you feel like pissing on Sony for rehashing the same old controller but now in boomerang form? at least the Xbox added 1 more button.
oh well. sword fighting in Zelda, virtual Samus arm/gun thing in metroid. those 2 reasons alone is why im getting the Rev. and because its possibly the most beautiful console ever invented.
if its worth noting every Nintendo system in the UK has come out at around £100-130. there will be no change with this one. for those asking about the price. it won't cost much. whats certain is it will be cheaper than anything Sony spew out. the PStwo costs £100 with a game fucking ridiculous if you ask me. no thanks!
