This is for people who can't afford decent computers and software, like me.

Of course, the Revolution will probably cost more than a brand new Dell with a cupon... But those come with XP Home Edition, which means you have to shell out annother $175 for XP Office to stop your computer from being gayer than Retro Kat.

So... Revolution will, in reality, probably be cheaper than getting a PC to play shooters on.

MABYE THEY'LL PORT HALF LIFE 2 ON TO IT!
THAT WOULD KICK TOO MUCH ASS FOR WORDS!!
AND MABYE THEY'D PUT A MARIO CAMEO IN IT SOMEWHERE!!!

Hickman's being a pessimist again. Nobody can pass judgement until the unit comes out. I am hoping for the best, but I could be wrong. Still, even if they DO fail with the Revolution, Nintendo is rich enough to keep going for at least three more generations, and by then, their console will most likely be so innovative and different that it won't matter. They will corner their own market that they won't even be in competition with the other companies.

I still say that they are going to be the first company with a home VR console.

Thank god. I was afraid that we might make it through a console thread with any elitism.

Anyway, if Nintendo's new modified laser pointer controller is as good as they say it is, even those subhuman casual gamers will buy into it.

I'm being a realist. Nintendo's had a great run, don't get me wrong, but as of now, they're a handheld company.

The key phrase there is "as of now". Don't predict doomsday until we have a hold of the console.

Then I guess this thread should be locked. Because there is no point in discussing how great or disappointing it will be if we can't even play it.

By the way, mom wants you home, lol

Nonsense. We lock the thread once it becomes another totally gay console wars thread. The countdown will begin once we get some new shots of the PS3 and the 360.

Even if this unit failed worse than the VB, the worst that would happen would mean Nintendo would become a third party developer for the others. There is no way they would go under. Their portable devices more than pay the rent.

Personally, I don't even really like Nintendo that much. My heart will always be with Sega. In fact, I thought the N64 and Gamecube were complete shit. They (Nintendo) were, however, at least trying to develop new and interesting titles, unlike the others, and they deserve credit for that. As for the 'elitist' comment, perhaps I am, but in all fairness I don't even consider myself a gamer. I just think the majority of what is out there is complete shit and not worth the time.

It's not elitist to say that the market is saturated and flooded with garbage. Its been this way for some time - around the same time companies targetted the casual gamer (who btw is not subhuman, they just have shitty taste). It's like the music industry or movie industry, but without the independent artists. Due to strict licensing agreements requiring huge investment (let alone development costs), small development teams that brew innovation can't survive in the console world unless they get bought out (or develop for PC). Anybody who thinks otherwise is being naive.

If you can surf the Net on your computer, you can play the first Quake and enjoy a decent game AND circle-strafe.

It wasn't so much that you were saying that the market is full of crap, as it certainly is quite full. It was that you said "you casual gamers," as though you were classifying yourself as one of those self-styled "hardcore gamers," while simultaneously writing off Hickman as just another NFL2K6/DOA Beach Volleyball jerk just because he's sick of Nintendo's bolognium.

To clarify Hickman's gaming status, he is a causal gamer in that it isn't a HUGE part of his life. He plays when he wants to play, and that's it. He loves the Splinter Cell series, Halo, and even Zelda. Hell, he beat WindWaker before I did. He's just a pessimist about it (sorry, Hick, it isn't "realist" to say that something is definitely going to happen when all current data points away from that happening).

He is, however, an annoying little prick that likes to hold hands with other men.

I'm with soundtest. I think it'd be great if Nintendo became a third party company. It worked for Sega. Zelda and Mario don't desirve to be on a system nobody's going to buy.

What exactly is 'circle-strafing'? Because if it's strafing in a circle, I was doing that shit in Goldeneye on 64.

Fucking tell me about it.

But apparently, there's a better kind of circle strafing that us Goldeneye/Perfect Dark players aren't aware of.
Either that or people are just creaming themselves over the fact that you don't need to lock on in MP2 now.

You could only do that if you hooked up 2 controllers and played ultra crazy controller Goldeneye.
And it don't count when the game has auto aim.

The difference:

Console Circle Strafe: Run around in circles, shooting toward the middle.

PC Circle Strafe: Run around in circles, shooting toward the middle, but with a mouse. *TA-DA!*

It's easier and more accurate if you do it with a mouse.

The big thing about circle strafing wasn't that you couldn't do it in console games before, but that it is a welcome addition to a good series that has been made only easier with the addition of this new controller.
