-sigh-

None of'em are even out yet and people are already going to ludicrous lengths to defend the next-gen consoles.

That goes for all of them.

[Mystic Kitsune]

XD Good point Selena.

Video games. Fun. Until you begin killing eachother because of simple arguments over them. Sad. Yes...

[Koroks Rock]

my impressions so far:

people are saying that the ps3 controller feels like the ps2 one, except a bit better. i personally hated the ps2 controller- i have strange, bony hands, and the ps2 controller did not get along with them. but you never know, it might be right this time. and truely lazy people can prop it on their stomaches now, without gaming interference.
score= neutral

xbox controller... progress? a new button and a tiny layout change? i'm not seeing much growth, which means it's falling behind.
score= a bit behind

revolution controller is a huge risk. so nintendo gets kudos right away for having more guts than any other game company in existance. this will decide whether they die or not. but, using common sense (which is not always present in nintendo), they not only made this a very flexible controller, as vgcats indicates, but they also made a retrogradable controller. being able to stick it into an almost exact copy of the GC controller was very wise.

so basicly, any arguement about the rev controller being uncomfortable just got shot to h*ll, becuase the GC controller is the most comfortable one available ATM. to me at least, i can't talk for people with small hands. it's certainly the most innovative.
score= ahead.


the sad thing is how utterly pointless this all is, as 13 and others have pointed out. i for one am going to try and have fun with all three, while getting away with owning as few as possible (none for a long time, because i am one of those poor students )

Look, Mario is more widely recognized than Mickey Mouse. A new controller that, should if fail to sell, can easily be replaced by an older, widely accepted controller will hurt the company's ego, but not its existance.

Not to mention that they have more monies than China has people.

Squared.

Why do any of the controllers need progress?

And have the fools at Nintendo released an official picture of the "shell" yet?

[Chikara Nadir]

^ word.  

wait, i'm not in college >.<  think of the starving highschoolers and middle schoolers!

Unless you're on welfare, no such thing. You get a free education and free room and board. In a year or two you'll be able to get a job, so either you beg your parents for a gaming system or wait it out until then. There are others who haveta work AND go to school full-time, and still can't afford even the games for the current systems, let alone a whole new one of the new systems.

My view on this? If you like the original Nintendo controller, turn this one sideways and pretend really hard that it's like that. If you liked the old X-Box, no big change. Same for PS, though that last one is the most likely for me to get simply because I own a PS2 and I'm most comfortable with not only the shape of the controller, but also the games that come out from companies that Sony has alliances with. Though my hands DO have a lotta trouble wrapping around the current X-Box and GCN controllers comfortably.

But what am I gonna do in reality? Wait until the price of any of them goes down tremendously, and there's a plethora of games for each available. Then hope that I actually have some money for one. Hope big-time.

[RevolutionDude]

This thread has gone completely nuts.

Rev controller = the best, ok .........

EDIT: all the controller have a good and a bad side (some more than others) but we should think on is better becouse Sony made it or becouse Nintendo made it... they are all controllers... this is not a war.

[Koroks Rock]

have the fools at Nintendo released an official picture of the "shell" yet?

Yeah, along with all the other revolution pictures... here:

[DarkJuno]

-smacks forehead-

That's a mock-up...

[RevolutionDude]

Thats the fake one made bu IGN

[Mystic Kitsune]

Which is exactly what DJ just said.

so nintendo gets kudos right away for having more guts than any other game company in existance. this will decide whether they die or not

Downfall of nintendo? Over a controller? Dont forget they are in fact, leading in the handheld world.

[dcLx]

No that is a real one made by Nintendo, It's a Prototype and like a posted awhile ago its supposed to have an outerrshell

You can't really judge any controller if its ahead, behind whatever

Personally I think that Nintendo might be falling behind. For one its supposed to run the same Graphics Professor as the Gamecube so that = Not real good graphics. But who knows everything can change hopefully. The Revolution is taking a big risk and some people might adapt to the change , some people might not. Xbox360 controller is basically the same as its predecessor except R2 and L2 added like the PS2. For the PS3 controller, I haven't really looked at it yet but I don't know why people are hating it just because it looks like a Boomerang. Who cares, the controller isn't for its shape it's for your hands to hold the controller and by far that looks like the sleekest one in my opinion. The Remote Control, Yes this is probably the most advanced controller right now but we didn't see anything....Yet. All we've seen is that it's wireless, has an Outer-Shell that their still developing and you can point on the T.V screen so you act like your in the game. But we still don't know if the game will run good with that.

[Mystic Kitsune]

But as I said, Japan is crazy for anything new, especially if its wireless.

[RevolutionDude]

Japan has so many more cool gadgets and stuff than US

[Mystic Kitsune]

Thats not completley true RevDude.

[RevolutionDude]

They have other stuff though

[Mystic Kitsune]

I suppose the only cool thing about japan is that they we most games before the US, way before the US

[RevolutionDude]

^true... like by the time we get TP for gamecube, All of Japan already beat it

[Mystic Kitsune]

I think TP is a worldwide release though. But for all I know, I already have Fire Emblem (GCN) and already beat it. Yet in the states its coming out on the 17th.

[RevolutionDude]

^ WHAT THE... no fair... anyways I never liked Fire Emblem.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Which might mean the Revolution might be coming here first Mwhahahahhaha

Frankly, I really dont care, just be glad the game is coming out in the first place.

[Ducci]

Funny how you used the "Have you even picket one up?" quote for the PS3 controller, yet make comments like "hard to get used to" for the Rev controller.

No, but Ive picked up a f***ing remote. And yes, I have pretended to play a game with my TV remote (which is REALLY close to the Rev remote) whilst my little brother played Zelda. *in geeky professor speaking fastly and mad voice* for scientific purposes only!

[RevolutionDude]

I' going to Japan next year...

Woah, dude your voice changes so much in this thread, yet youre so generous in the others XD

Come, I dare you. XD

Come, I dare you. XD

Sorry to anyone if you have felt like i was being horrible to you. Its not anybody at LA, its i used to love Nintendo a lot. Now they bring out this...this controller. It just p***es me off. I hope Nintendo feel the loss when they loose A LOT of potential buyers of the Rev to because of the 'Controller'.

[RevolutionDude]

Come, I dare you. XD

tell me were you live and i'll see if i could get my parents to let me

[Mystic Kitsune]

Leo, not everyone hates it XD take my brothers, they love it, and want it like hell. 98/102 people want the REV cause of the controller at school, in fact, i think Ill take a survey on it when I get back home...

And RevDude, Im going back to Osaka in december...so im not there right now.

[Ducci]

Everyone i know is staying away from the Rev because of the controller. Thats why i am making my judgements of sales. Im not saying EVERY hates it, just the majority XD

[RevolutionDude]

ok... but I have to be the first to get the Revolution

[Mystic Kitsune]

It kinda makes me sad to wonder. We await the next video game systems...we get them, then we just dont enjoy them. That just means the fun was in getting the system, eventually the games will just die, and we all move on to the next video game system.

Not only that...how can the graphics get better? I mean if you saw MGS4 and RE5 for PS3...then you kinda think, what next?

Also, tehres the factor of ideas....[img]http://forums.legendsalliance.com/public/ALOT.png[/img] of games are becoming either boring sequels, cliche ideas, or really, really, 1/100000000 well thought out ideas.

Eh...oh great...got myself in the thinking state....which is going to result in sadness...dammit...*tearing* >.<

EDIT: Also...seeing as Hideo Kojima is retiring, and Shinji Mikami is out of the RE area...and seeing that Shigeru Miyamoto may be retiring as well...>.<

Tears of sorrow wash its mind
