Nintendo/Revolution Press Conference - Page 3

Stonecutter · 09-16-2005, 01:33 AM

I'm guessing there's going to be two camps on this thing.

The "OMGWTFBBQ THAT THING SUCKS!!!!!!11!" camp. IE, the "Celda" camp.

and

The "I JUST CAME IN MY PANTS IT'S SO BRILLIANT" camp. IE, half this board

Personally, I don't hate it. In fact I think it's kinda cool, but what the hell third party is going to want to make games for the Rev? Games are going to have to be built for that thing from the ground up, and, unless the userbase is huge, nobody's going to do that when they can build for the 360 and easily upport it to the PS3.

Hideo Kijoma seems to like it. if the creator of MGS digs it, that's all that needs to be said:

Quote:

Iwata also presented a select number of Japanese developers to discuss their feelings related to the controller - most notably Konami's Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series, who told the audience that his initial reaction to the controller was simply to exclaim, "You've done it!"

"Even though it was a surprise to me at first, I quickly understood how it should be used," he commented. "This is exactly what I was looking for."

I love Kojima.

This is the most innovative and amazing gaming device of the decade, HANDS DOWN.

The next generation console race is already over. Here you go Nintendo, the gold trophy for Revolution. Congratulations on blowing the competition completley apart into tiny little pieces.

Any next generation console with a conventional controller = pwned to the max, obsolete, worthless trash.

I see many a childs face smacked, and many a lawsuit filed.

Crash · 09-16-2005, 03:10 AM

Gee, whats worse?

Someone shouting profanities, or a young kid going blind?

So your saying me shouting at you about your race is on par with me punching you in the face and poking your eye?

Ok, we can't assume that violence will stem from Project Revolution Controller until it's released. If we could, than men would have never gone to the moon because people would've just assumed that it would've caused an alien war.

Well, I can assume on the basis that I've babysat 4 kids playing Gamecube before...with a normal controller they flail out as it is.

Give them a controller thats meant to be swung every which way for different purposes is like telling little bratty kids to smack eachother.

GameMaster · 09-16-2005, 03:35 AM

Well, that depends. Was the flail intentional? If so, was it caused by an in-game factor or an outside factor? If it was caused by something unrelated to the video game, then Nintendo can't be held liable for any unjury or damage.

Kids getting worked up over playing Smash Bros. is pretty related.

could a person sue a bat manufacturer for getting hit by a baseball bat? no....

It's all in the users hands.

Thats intentional.

If the bat flew out of the batters hands, and hit someone in the stands, that person could sue the staduim for not having nets up.

GameMaster · 09-16-2005, 04:22 AM

In turn, I suppose the stadium could sue the net manufacturer's for not propose the sale of the nets prior to the accident. The process of suing is an infinite one.
