The WTF Factor
What is that You Say? Well This is WTF:
At first glance, this has to be the MOST weirdest piece of hardware I’ve seen in a LONG time. This has to play games right? Yes IT DOES. And guess what, it does it well. By the looks of the many screenshots I’ve seen so far, its very capable. AND if you get a chance to see the videos then you should understand the concept. FOR those on the more imaginative side, they will not need a video to tell them after they read the impressions and seen the shots as I have.
Accessory King?!
This controller has motion sensing capability when aiming it torwards the screen. That, in conjunction with a gyroscope embedded, gives the player FULL 3D control of the game. Star Wars fans, think of it as a beam sword without the beam. Others, think of it as exactly interacting with the game at a physical level. The way that the controller is designed, it inherits depth perception. SO poking at the screen could possibly give a poke at what’s onscreen.
That’s not all folks. It has a trigger at the bottom of the controller which possibly can create many options expecially for FPS games. At the BACK of the controller is an accessory slot:
Yes, that is a possible steering wheel add-on for the controller. Turn the controller SIDEWAYS and you get the traditional NES button layout for playing those classic games. Also, there seems to be plans for an add-on for those who like the traditional controller layout that can possibly add more buttons to the layout. The possibilities are astounding. I can’t wait to see what developers come up with. Even IF you don’t like the new controller, the Gamecube controller IS fully compatible with the Revolution.
To those who pre-Judge…
There also seems to be a backlash of people or “haters” of this new controller. 1up reports that developers are amazed at the new design. The creator of the Metal Gear Series ADORED the thing. SO why so much hate? Is it the fact that people don’t understand it yet? OR are they just hateful that their “favorite” company has not thought of this? Well Here’s a message: (copied from my original reply on the boards here.)

Its AMAZING that people don’t think that this will change the way we play games. Its AMAZING to think that there won’t be any 3rd Party Support. ITs AMAZING to me that the majority that FOUND an excuse to hate this controller has NO imagination whatsoever.
The Creator of MGS was DROOLING over this. You don’t think that it won’t spark a new way we play games? Nintendo will MOST DEFINITELY develop for this. BUT EA most definitely will want to also. That’s like 8 possible best sellers right there just with EA. Capcom AND Namco very well will invest a chunk of its resources. We could see a special version of Soul Calibur or a totally new types of games from any developer for that matter. Square-Enix and a number of others has already pledged support.
This won’t be another Gamecube. There is plenty of storage this time around, 20 years worth of titles, backwards compatibility to the Gamecube, FOUR SLOTS FOR TRADITIONAL CONTROLLERS, WiFi; Online Gaming. If you DO NOT see the possibilities, then you are BLIND and confused. IF you DON’T Think that competitiors will TRY to copy atleast ONE feature then you just don’t know the meaning of competition.
Dear gawd, if the only thing that people on this board can do but complain and flame then what’s the DAMN point of posting here? You obviously don’t want conversation. You most definitely want to get someone mad. You are MOST DEFINITELY NOT USING YOUR BRAIN when you do this. So why waste your time? To feel REASSURED that your choices were sound?
If Nintendo comes out second–or THIRD for that matters, WHO CARES. That means that nothing will have changed in your perfect little world. But for MOST of us who don’t have Psychological problems, we do see some relevance and promise in this new innovation. Will it cause a COMPLETE REVOLUTION? Who knows? Certainly not the wanna be Miss Cleos’ that I’ve seen in this thread predicting the future. But this will AND HAS so far–spark the imaginations of those who created the GTAs, the Halos, the Half-Lifes, the Final Fantisies, the Burnouts, the fighters, the adventures, the RPGs. It might sound like a complete speech to “you”. Yes you the ignorant ones. BUT NO ONE knew where the Video Game Industry was to go 10 years ago, and CERTAINLY not 20 years ago. Who would have known Sony to be the next big thing in videogames? Who would have known that Nintendo would have created all of that stuff? Who would have know of Microsoft becoming one of the Biggest corporations in the world? No one.
So get off of your skyscraper horses and learn to think and see what a lot of other people do. Learn to use your common sense, learn to use your imagination. Learn to be objective for once in your life.(this is most definitely going into my blog.

Just keep those thoughts in mind before you decide to hate something you don’t fully understand yet.
