Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed


Recommended Posts

I took me a while to realize this, (since they never showed an example of it in the video), but you will most probably hold this thing like a conventional controller except the right had must be free because the intention is all games will use the 3d gyroscopic control and it would be rather difficult if both hands were tied to the same shell.

Just think about it, all that will be required is flicks of the wrist. That wire is WAY too short for you to be spreading your arms apart. That's the intention. Except for the fact that it now has a 3d control that no other controller has, it's really not that much different.

wow i've always steered clear of nintendo since sony got into the console market but i must say this does look like a pretty cool controller. ahh i can imagine playing jedi knight 2 or something on the revolution, whilst swingning my remote as a lightsaber.

IGN creates controller shell for Revolution controller

IGN has created a mock-up of what it thinks the conventional controller shell adaptor for the Revolution controller will look like. Nintendo has confirmed two controller adaptors, one of which is the analog trigger controller. The other is an adaptor to allow more conservative gamers to play with an ?old-school? two handed controller. Nintendo hasn?t announced the design of this adaptor yet so IGN fired up Photoshop and whipped up this possible design.

This adaptor could allow game developers to port games from other platforms to the console. It?ll also have the added advantage of retaining the main controller?s motion sensors, giving developers the best of both worlds. If any of you were a little bit worried about the new controller (there are at least 964 of you), does the possibility of an adaptor like this make you feel any better about Nintendo?s new console? Also, do you think IGN?s design will be similar to the final Nintendo design?

Okay before I say anything let me just say that PEOPLE NEED TO READ IN DETAIL BEFORE COMMENTING. Not just here, but everywhere. Every site that I have been on that has comments, have had the most stupid, pointless, retarded, and thoughtless comments I have honestly ever seen and I'm tired of it. READ.

The controller completely and honestly changes the way we think, and play games. That is just exactly what Nintendo said it would do. Personally at first glance I was a tad disappointed, but upon further reading I realized this can actually be pretty kick ***. I mean, every single newscaster and journalist is freaking with joy (because they know the details that most ignorent people dont want to read).

This thing looks promising and I can't wait to see what kind of games come out for it. My only gripe now is deciding which console I want to get. Xbox 360 or Revolution.

I think Nintendo took a step in the right direction. The controller is slick and sexy, and you can plug it into an actual gamecube-style controller if you dont like the whole remote idea and you can still get the tilt sensativity out of it. Amazing. Innovative.

This really belongs in Console Gaming...

Still, not a bad mock-up, but hardly what I expect the final product to be.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
