That's why I made this thread, because everybody talks about how "Revolutionary" the controller will be, and I don't know HOW. and i have no idea where to get the pic of it. Maybe some1 else does?

here are some probabilities of the controller.

This isnt a screenshot.. its some kind of poster....

The Revolution souds promising. The ability to download games from the old days... NES, SNES, maybe Gameboys...

I cant wait!

*Waiting for Sir Ibi to find this thread and post alot about the Revolution*

To me they don't look like the new controllers. It looks like a GameCube controller with a different botoon layout. And also, it doesn't even match the console.
Here's one that I think is the closest to be the one even though the controller is not yet finished.

The text on the bottom of the first picture is russian, and it says that the joystick has a movement sensor, and when you move it, it reacts in the game.

I read one rumour a while ago that it you might get to wear a headset and use it like the Super Scope. Now this in itself sounds pretty far fetched but it does tie in with the motion tracking features in these new pad pics

I'm laughing my ass of here.

Do you think that they are calling their console ''Revolution'' because of the controller?

Nintendo probably expects that everybody is going to buy the Revolution because of the controller.

Well it's a good enough reason, it dictates the entire structure of the game and more so how fun it is to play. Look at Nintendogs on the DS that was a very popular game at the E3 show, and that was controller specific. For one example, I can't believe anyone enjoys playing FPS game more on a console than a Pc, it can be the same game but the gameplay will always better on Pc cos consoles have nothing to rival the accuracy of mouse aiming.The only two games that have done a good job are Timesplitters and the Metroid series.

The companies don't make their money off consoles, they make it off games sales, the point of this thread is to discuss the most important thing, which doesn't really get talked about when concerning Xbox And Playstation, Gameplay !!

Yes, I think Nintendo will struggle again in the next gen battle because people will be attracted by better graphics, but all the new mutli media features that the other two consoles are offering aren't really what the public wants (or is willing to spend money on)
You only have to look at how badly the PSX did to show that users still just want a console to solely play games on.

Who do you think brought D-pads, analog control and proper wireless pads(Wavebird) to the public first, Nintendo!!!!

The new controller will hopefully be the next step in gameplay and this is one area that the competitors have taken no steps to advance on.

Nintendo have the bought the most important innovations to the games industry over the years, what sony and microsoft are concentrating on is "better graphics" dam i'm getting bored hearing that crap. Sure having nice graphics is cool, and improves the aesthetics of the gameplay, but the way Sony, especially Sony go on about it, like the graphics on the other console are gonna suck, when that ain't true...

The pics by Focer of the controller look good, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see...

Focer · Post by **Focer** » 06 Jul 2005, 18:28

Does enybody knows when its release date?

Focer · Post by **Focer** » 06 Jul 2005, 18:32

PSZeTa just stop OK, this is the second topic where U trying to talk more SH*T on my posts. Could U just stop firetruck*ng around, cause that doesnt make U cool or somthn'

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 06 Jul 2005, 19:42

No, it doesn't make me cool.

I just find it stupid. Kthnx? People have opinions.

I don't call new functions on a controller revolutionary.

Focer you need to read the line in your sig and stop picking fights with PsZeta....

If the Nintendo Revolution is called that because of the controller, then you obviously arent thinking right.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 06 Jul 2005, 22:46

what wrong with that? I mean the controller is the integral part of gaming. Hopefully in years to come, we'll have access to a wider variety of controllers that enhance gameplay - like gloves you can put on and use it to manipulate the game, some form of headsets, i remember the Dreamcast had a fishing rod too, heheh.

I did't say that the controller makes it revolutionary, it's one of the things that makes it revolutionary, also there are other things like 12cm discs(I think they're going to be dual-layered), it's going to be quieter, more power-efficient, faster to start, and more affortable compare to Sony and Microsoft.

I just thaught that the controller is one of the biggest things to talk about.

I dunno if some people are missing the point, if a new method of control is brought out then the gaming experience will be tailored around this factor. Nintendo clearly seem to think they are onto something, it's like playing a racing game on keyboard and then playing it with a steering wheel and pedals, it will be the same game but the way the user appraoches it will be different and they will have a more imersive experience. The controller has to be called revolutionary because it will change the way the games are developed in-order to accomodate it.

Despite Nintendo not being the most popular they are very profitable (Are Microsoft even making a profit off Xbox now?) and they wouldn't have made this choice on the controller if it wasn't going to work.

But yeah, like I said earlier about FPS games, It doesn't matter if Call of duty is going to look much better on Xbox360, it still won't play as well as the Pc version because of the CONTROLLER. If a controller is revoultionary then the games themselves have to adopt to this, and in turn will create new styles of gameplay.
If people want more destructable scenery and whatnot then the other two consoles will do just fine, but I will choose a new form of interaction over that anyday

The PS3 contoller looks better than those thats if those are gonna be the controller for it.

WhereIsTheNsx · Post by **WhereIsTheNsx** » 07 Aug 2005, 22:20

i dunno i like the regular ps2 controller, i think it's the best controller ever made for a console (besides the NES original rectangle)

1995-eclipse · Post by **1995-eclipse** » 08 Aug 2005, 07:43

i think that the PS2 controller is the worst out of the gamecube, xbox and ps2.

WhereIsTheNsx · Post by **WhereIsTheNsx** » 08 Aug 2005, 19:57

gamecube controller, u thought that was a good controller, wow

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 08 Aug 2005, 20:47

I thought the Game Cube controller was actually quite good, definatly better than the Xbox controller I found, but not as good as the classic PS2 controller or the N64 controller with the Z trigger buttobn underneath (also one of the first to implement analouge controller)

WhereIsTheNsx · Post by **WhereIsTheNsx** » 08 Aug 2005, 22:38

xbox controller is great for fps games (fps= first person shooter), gamecube wasn't really good for anything imo

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 08 Aug 2005, 22:42

Meh, you can't beat the good old keyboard and mouse for the FPS.... and I kinda thought the XBOX controller were far too big, but they have released smaller ones since...

the_Shamus · Post by **the_Shamus** » 08 Aug 2005, 23:36

all the consoles' controllers are good at different things. but if you really think a different console's controller is better than the one you've got, just go buy one of those adaptor-things. my m8s got one that lets you plug a PS2 controller in2 a GC. i personally think the Xbox Controller S is easier to hold than the DualShock2 or GC controller. but then, a different console wudn't give a different feel to the games it played it everybody's controllers were the same. the controller defines the console, so ninitendo are probably onto something here if they are indeed naming their console after its controller.
