Originally posted by knuckOriginally posted by ColleenThat's called fanboyism. Oh, give me a fucking break, knuck. Point me to one instance of you saying something nice about Nintendo. Are there any? Moving to my next very related point, how many times have you called people "fanboys" for liking Nintendo? Mmhm. And lastly, have you ever once called someone a PS2 or Xbox fanboy? Didn't think so. Chill the fuck out. Quicklike. I'm certain I'm not the only one sick of it by now. Honestly, I think the idea's ridiculous. But who knows, maybe it'll work. I'll try it. Maybe they smoke from the Good Stash this time. I have strong doubts, but at least they're trying something different... |

| This will be weird to say now, but forget everything I said about Revolution and it's controller. I just saw Nintendo's video, and I think that it's a kickass idea. I wanna get a Rev actually.

| I wonder, what'd playing metroid be like with one of those controllers. Especially if the metroid game had its own "arm cannon" type shell. | |||

| Cheveyo, stop it. Not everyone has to like Nintendo. I hated it when I first saw this thing, and even moreso after the video.. but after reading through this thread, I'm having second thoughts. It could be fun. What I would like is to have the Gamecube controller possibly be an alternative.. if I'm tired or something, I don't want to jump around swinging my arms. At least I'll be able to play the older games though. Nintendo hasn't let me down yet, I'm up to try it. To be fair, I was already set on getting Revolution before I heard anything, just because it's Nintendo. *shrug* |

Originally posted by Yoshi DudeYD, that wasn't even close to my point. I was just going to step back and let knuck attempt to figure it out for himself, but since that's two people that can't... He repeatedly calls people fanboys just for liking Nintendo, yet doesn't target anyone else. I understand that it's not quite flaming and it's not quite trolling (though it is very close to both, IMO), but it is quite irritating having to deal with that shit all the time. And my reaction would be the same if his target was Xbox or PS2. |

Originally posted by Tamarin CalanisOh you were? If you think that was the point, you're a sad individual indeed. What was this? It certainly didn't contribute a single thing to the topic. mcw just said "lol fanboy". Not only that, but it's a two word post! Why aren't you crying over this? I am sick of people like you who think it's okay to target knuck over every minor thing. Let it go. I don't want this thread to veer off course, please bring it to PM if you want to continue this. That goes for everyone. ennh.. ytmnd makes revolution fun. |

| Whoa! Is it like set in stone that if a thread reaches up to four pages it escalates into a giant flame war? Not everyone that likes the new controller is a fanboy. Jeez! Good thing Yoshi Dude is around to smack you all into shape. Anyways, anyone know the release date of the Revolution? Is it early 2006, or late 2006? |

Originally posted by TrapsterNeko, please read the thread before replying to my posts. I mean it. My posts aren't there for someone who does not know what he is talking about quote it to spam. When I said that, I meant that if there were Sony or Microsoft fanboys here, I'd go LOL FANBOY on them too. Learn to read. (edited by knuck on 09-18-05 03:58 PM) |

| Sure it looks cool, and the idea is great, but I do not want to be "forced" to swing and glide a remote around in the air to simply play a videogame. Or, and I also do not want to have a two-peice controller in both of my hands to play games. When I saw the trailer at school with a group of friends, I figured I would've had a better time running face first into a wall. It looks bad. I'm also interested how we'll be playing the older games ... |

| I seem to be the only one to actually not think this was the result of pot smokers at first glance.... The way ive looked at it is that im greatful the controller isnt like the xbox or ps3 ones which to be honest look the same as the ps2 / gamecube / xbox controller just slightly updated with a new splash of shiny paint and the cable removed. My fear was that we were going to get a gamecube controller with a touchpad thrown in as the "revolution". Instead we get something that nobody before has thought of being connected to video gaming. But is instantly intuitive. My older sister was a massive fan of the old 2d games and gave me a bloody good run for my money when it came to winning high scores. That alll changed when the analogue stick and 3d graphics were blasted upon us. The revolution is going to be very very retro based, a theme which is growing constantly day by day, by being aloud to not only download old games but also play new ones in a retro way and an easily accessible way. I may very well be competing with my family again over games. A test of the power of retro gaming and simple d-pad gaming was to plug in my old SNES and Mario All Stars into my living room TV which oddly enough attracted my entire family to start playing it again. Something they hadnt done in like 10 years. To complain about the split analogue controls though to me seems somewhat pointless at this moment in time...Has anyone ever actually split a game controller in half to see if it plays any differently? Apart from the ability to stretch your arms out a little bit i cant see it affecting game control very much. I pictured myself playing Resident Evil 4 with that controller and wasnt worried. Its still got the big nintendo A button to shoot spanish mutants with and the trigger button to bring up the aiming mode. I think nintendo did a wise thing here...itll keep them seperated from the ps3 and 360 which is a good thing. If theyd gone with the same old pad then they could very well just fade into the background again like theyve done with the gamecube. Hopefully this will give them a new chance which they deserve. I look forward to trying this out. |

| I just realised, this controller might be awesome for FPS games! The analogue for aiming, and the D-pad for moving. That worked so well for N64, it's the only thing I miss with the N64 controller infact. | |||

Originally posted by Kitten Yiffer The altered demo of Metroid Prime 2 that people were able to play when they revealed the controller actually used that system of control. Except, you use the attatchment with the analog stick with it to move around. There are also two trigger buttons on the back of that attatchment, aswell as on the back on the "remote" Maybe the D-Pad could be used to change between visors, and if you hold onto one of the analog stick's trigger buttons, then maybe the D-Pad could be used to change weapons.  No real shortage of buttons when you think about it... Plus there'll be tonnes of other attatchments, which aren't all gimmicky. If it comes down to it, maybe they could come with a spare NGC controller, and we could even use that for certain games.  |
