Re: Epic VP slams Rev and others
the guy doesnt like the Revolution interface because he wont be able to sell the Unreal engine to as many REV developers...think about it, which systems' software are going to use the Unreal 3 Engine the most?
PS3 and XBox360 by far
Nintendo designed the Revolution for 1st party games FIRST. They always do, but in this case it's most obvious. They shouldnt really care about a guy who's trying to whore out his middleware software...

Re: Epic VP slams Rev and others
The Xbox sold more first person shooters than ever were sold on the PC? Where does this guy get his facts? And from this he draws the inference that the Xbox 360 controller is great for first person shooters, probably better than the PS3's?
And I don't know about you, but the N64 never destroyed my thumb. Didn't even wound it.
He may have a general point here and there that's worth noting, but his ranting is just so brain dead stupid that I can't bring myself to agree with any of it. And the IGN video that's linked in that article just makes him look like an ass.

Agreed.
That's some nice damage control though- the way he changed his question from "how many people own a GCN" to "how many people own ONLY a GCN"...just classic desperate measures to slam GameCube, knowing full well that the same could be said of almost any system in the past barring the NES and PS2.
More and more people own more than one console now.
The rest I kind of agree with regarding Revolution- many people are more worried about the interface than about making a good game now, as evidenced with DS.
And this, my friends, is where the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" should come in, more strict than ever. The controller shouldn't be the basis of horrible mini-games and shoddy ports with mini-games tacked on for the hell of it.
I do agree though; unless the new Controller S has changed from original Xbox, the 360 controller will also be good for First-Person Shooters. PS3's pad, in it's current form, doesn't look as pleasing, but that's just me...

Re: Epic VP slams Rev and others
I dont know if you all noticed it or not, but every generation, Nintendo always, (emphasis on always), brought something different to the table.
NES = D-Pad, A-B buttons
SNES = 4-button layout, Shoulder Buttons
N64 = Analog Stick, Rumble
GCN = Wireless Controllers that didnt require you to be directly in front of the sensor
And now with the Revolution, technology that lets you move, and not stay in that same position anymore, you know the one, sitting down with hands together.
And look how everyone's copied it. Just about everything I mentioned here, is on another controller or two. The N64 was the greatest controller for FPS, and I think we can all agree with that.
I tried out the XBox 360 controller over at EB, and it feels great, in fact, I think its going to be the best "regular" controller this next gen, but Nintendo will have the best controller overall, but not because its different, its because it can be applied to any genre, and make it better...
So, Sony, what youre saying is you dont like change? I've gotten used to every Nintendo controller theyve ever made... and its never stopped me, and its in that statement, where my point lies. I love Nintendo more, because they never copy any other company's ideas, because they are the originators, who do you think brought you the D Pads, shoulder buttons, analog sticks, 4 button layouts, rumble and wireless technologies? Nintendo, thats who.
What did both Microsoft and Sony bring?
