Here's the thing, the Revolution is not going to be release this year. There is no reason what-so-ever for them to give out any details or secrets they have that they don't want to share at this time. Chances are that both the Revolution and PS3 are both going to be at the E3 next year so that would be the opportune time for Nintendo to show all their cards. For instance, why give Sony a year in advance to counter what they have? Why reveal everything this year and then when next year rolls around they have nothing new to show just before they release the console?

I don't hear any of you complaining that Xbox360 didn't release anything last year at the E3 show, why, because they waited right until the last months before they are gonig to release their console, which is the smart thing to do. If they told you everything the Xbox360 had to offer a year ago, most of us would have forgotten by now or would not have been so excited by the time the release came around this year.

And for the last time NO SPECS WERE RELEASED, SO THERE IS NO REASON TO SAY THE REVOLUTION'S HARDWARE IS ALREADY INFERIOR TO THE PS3 AND XBOX360. I don't know why some of you keep insisting it is.

Agreed. But with Sony unveiling their PS3 and its specs in a very detailed manner, it wouldnt too far fetched if Nintendo did the same. But like you said, it might've cost them their "revolutionary" idea.

Its the way the Nintendo execs keep emphasizing the powerful consoles are not required logic, they did it not once but throughout the presentation. That is why it is almost understood that they wont be looking to match either of the competition. I for one would love if the Revolution surpassed both PS3 & Xbox 360.

Nintendo is for younger people thats are the games based of, look at super Maria/Zelda.

Well if you look at Nintendo's past they are always completely random and sometimes don't make sense. Like releasing the realistic Zelda trailer at the SpaceWorld expo then at the next E3, boom, cell-shaded Zelda. Then I think it was last E3 out of nowhere comes the realistic looking Zelda. And now today the GameBoy mini, who would have expected that. Who knows, out of nowhere they could release specs for the Revolution. They always do stuff without any warning.

And like some people are suggesting on Slashdot, maybe they are reducing hardware specs and keeping the same architecture to give independent game developers a chance considering the costs of developing/producing a game are becoming insane. It would be like the NES\SNES era where there were so many game developers because it was affordable and not so difficult to make a game.

What they dont tell you is that each game will cost money, less is more, milking it for all its worth. Final nail in the coffin as far as im concerned i refuse to buy another Nintendo product as long as they are stubborn enough to sit in the dark ages and prattle on about being all for the games, all they do is take something and slap Mario name on it.

Whats next Mario Housework?

They made that one of the "selling points" but the revolutionary feature is still to be seen. So if that's just a selling point... well I think you guys all know what I think the revolutionary feature will be :p

you can view the presentation streamed off gamespot...

i think the revolution could easily match the power of xbox360. its being released later, it will be easier to get the tech in the box, and cheaper.

the gc was nearly as powerful as the xbox and look at the size difference there.

they EMPHASIZE games because thats what they are about. they are a publisher, developer, and ALSO console designers. just because they put the emphasis on the content, doesnt mean there isnt going to be a strong machine behind it.

sorry for the double post, it all happened too fast!

Oh no, they are getting money for their work!

Being a little hypocritical are we, coming from someone who likes the Xbox where they want you to make micropayments for stuff that should be free on Xbox Live and make you pay for their online service in order to get patches? I also heard that Apple is milking songs that are like 60 years old on iTunes and selling them for a profit. Shame on them!

How am i being hippocritical?

Xbox live silver is free to use, all they showed in the E3 conference you got for free, why should the crap be free they worked hard to get such a complete service up and running for Xbox, Nintendo have done nothing, they just charge money for stuff that stop being sold 10-15 years ago.

I just finished watching the video, and I am VERY unimpressed.

I mean Nintendogs and wireless mario cart is what they are pimpin? I thought they were trying to get away fromt he kids image?

Nothing at all was revealed about Revlolution. The box wasnt even shown, just the prototype? And Smash Bros is a launch title? Big friggin deal, where is Mario Revolution?

I am very dissapointed after watching the PS3 and 360 videos.

Do you not purchase DVD movies or music that were made 10-15 years ago? Or do you play board games like Monopoly, Risk, Game of Life? People don't seem to have a problem when Parker Brothers repackages their board games made like 50 years ago in a nice new box or if 20th Century Fox releases a Star Wars boxset. So I don't see the problem with Nintendo selling games that were made 10-15 years ago. Edited by jmole

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
