holy cow...............................
here i was thinking the new xbox was pretty sweet....but i shouldve known that the earlier systems always seem to pale in comparison to what the later ones will have to offer
so much for me not planning on buying a next gen system right when they come out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
er....didnt catch the mock-up part....
but i still hear there's supposed to be 3d projection of some sort regardless

Wow that system looks amazing. I wonder how much its gonna cost.
I really hope that dosen't turn out to be the real revolution console. I think the whole virtual reality headset is just dumb. Can you honestly imagine yourself walking around in your living room wearing that thing, punching and kicking at invisible bad guys only you can see. Seems like a system which only exists to embarass the person who gets caught using it. Although seems like it won't be a headset system, especially after seeing this gamespot article.

embarassed? no.....
if a good VR system comes out......EVERYONE will want one

If I remember correctly, Nintendo once made a console with VR (color red, maybe someone remembers it) that didn't sell well.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

Virtual Boy. I only remember there being a Wario game for it. Maybe there was a Metroid title for it too... can't remember too much. I DO remember the commercials for it though. They had some wild-man lookin guy either chasing or being chased by the Virtual Boy (which had legs or something).Originally posted by: Deblas

It was an odd bit of marketing...
Pictures!The Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005 is still days away, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft from debuting its Xbox 360 console on MTV. And now Nintendo has followed suit, revealing some new, meaty details about its next-generation console, codenamed Revolution.
In a recent New York Times article, Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs Perrin Kaplan describes the console as "very, very sleek." The system, which is reportedly tiny, will stand horizontally. Its height will reportedly be no more than three DVD cases stacked flatly on each other, or slightly more than an inch. That makes the console theoretically smaller than Apple's recently released Mac Mini computer.
Although Nintendo has historically selected proprietary media formats, such as the GameCube Optical Disc, for its platforms, the publisher is with Revolution opting for a more standardized medium. The new console will play standard DVD media, according to the company. Nintendo has not yet revealed if Revolution will as a result be able to play Hollywood movies on DVD, but that seems very likely at this point.
At the Game Developers' Conference in March, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that Revolution would offer Wi-Fi online connections out of the box and would be backward compatible with GameCube, or able to play GCN software.
According to recent information, Revolution will also be able to play high-definition games and regularly go online.
Finally -- something of a no-brainer given the popularity of the Wave Bird pads -- Revolution's still-secret controller will be completely wireless. Controllers for Microsoft's Xbox 360 are also wireless. Upon hearing this news, puppies everywhere let out a collective cry.
More details to come at E3 2005. Stay tuned.
The Revolution looks like my modem. Ahh, the future in the gaming industry. I can see that they finally decided to use the bigger disks. That was a flaw when GC came out.

i assure you, the reason it didn't sell well was NOT because people felt embarassedOriginally posted by: Deblas

im glad i couldn't play dvds on my gamecube. That reason alone made the system like, $100 cheaper. I've already got at least 3 other devices that can play dvds anyway, why waste the money?
besides, you're not considering the advantages to the mini disk......
1) there are smaller storage systems for the smaller disk, as well as the fact that the gamecube itself can be smaller. This is very handy for someone like me who flew alot.
2) can you say "possible handheld gamecube market"? I sure can.
Sure it might not hold as much as a dvd...but you cant call it a FLAW when it was done intentional and didnt really factor into anything significantly either way.
And where do you get this "buy a card for each game" nonsense? all i need is one of those black medium-sized cards (forgot how big they were), and i'm set.

we all know why the disc's were so litle. it is because nintendo didn't wanted to have people mod there gamecube's and burned there own cd's. they sacrificed the dvd option for that.
The whole small disk thing witht the GC was done to avoid piracy. No one's more annal about their intelectual rights then nintendo.
1.And most important) Why are you getting so worked up about this.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] I don't hate Nintendo. Nor I'm saying this just too bash Nintendo. You have to admit Nintendo, and other consoles, always come with flaws in them one way or another, especially xbox(controller, huge size, faulty wires) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. Having a system that played games and dvds was great. You didn't have to waste 250 to buy a game console, and then 250 dollars or more in buying a dvd player since thats how much it costs when they started releasing them.Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

2) I didn't say that the Virtual Boy didn't sell well because they were embarassed. It just, didn't sell well.
3) The other consoles also have portable gear to play if your going out. Its nothing new. Though the GC was the lightest amongst the ps2 and xbox.
4) You misunderstood, which is my fault cause I wrote what I meant wrong. I mean that, when the GC came out, every game had to be saved in a memory card, maybe(which I would like someone to clarify me on this cause I'm not sure) the GC was built so small that the hardware was limited. All I know is that you needed to save a game in a memory card every,or mostly everytime ( at least all of my GC games had to be saved with a MC). Which now brings me to the problem of the memory card and why it was a flaw. The first memory card for GC that came out only had 50 blocks. Instead of the memory card that used bytes to save the game, It used blocks to store the game data on it, meaning that every game you bought and every new file you start with a game, gets stored in a different block. I have a total of 11 games for my GC. Around the 8th or 9th game, I had to start removing files to make space for my new game. Fortunately, Nintendo came through to us releasing new memory cards with more blocks. I myself bought one with 120 blocks and theres a new one out with even more blocks but they fill pretty quickly. If your a gaming fanatic that buys a hell of alot of games for GC. Then without a doubt the blocks are gonna fill pretty quickly, meaning you have to erase old game files ( which I don't like to do much) or go out and buy another card. Then if you have an old game you want to continue but its in another memory card, then you are gonna have to constantly remove and insert the memory cards, in which at one point it gets kind of annoying.

1.And most important) Don't pretend that you can tell how much/little emotion a person is putting into a post. It's just annoying when people think they can tell, cause they really can't.......at all. I mean seriously, think about it. Imagine having a normal discussion with someone, and then suddenly the guy starts trying to settle you down as if you're getting all heated up, when all along you're just talking like you usually do. That's pretty much what you're doing whenever you jump to conclusions like that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]Originally posted by: Deblas

Why wouldnt you have a dvd player before the xbox came out? Geez, ive got 2 dvd-rom drives, 2 dvd players, and now an xbox and a ps2.....
Glad the extra $100 for the xbox and ps2 comes in handy in case the other 4 fail me

I wouldnt be embarassed anways they would be "WOW, he owns a £200-£300 Console" lol
wtf is this?? it looks like it is dropt from outer space. possitive tho.
Of course nintendo didn't tell us jack shit about the revolution, sigh. Grrr I guess they decided to test the waters by revealing the prototype. Hopefully they'll beef up the specs so it has a better chance of competing with the PS3. I'm guessing that the revolution won't be as powerful as the PS3 but it will be much more beefy then the Xbox 360
