More on Nintendo's revolution controllers!!



Finally the release of the new concept. I was looking at the controller and I was thinking, "how the heck could you play with only one hand for hours like you can with your regular controller that require two hands?" But it is all starting to make sense. This controller is to come with an attatchment that connects to the bottom of the controller. This attatchment will be the analoge side of the controller provding use to navegate 3-d levels. Nintendo definatley does have somthing here. For some games however you just point the controller alone at the television and play away. This means you actually controll the screne when you move your controller. This feature is called the "direct pointing device". The sensor at the top of the controller is what detects the players position and orentation. By tilting your wrist left or write you can controll a car in a racing game, if you move your arm to aim at object you can hit the "power button"(the big a button you see in this pic) and shoot, or you can make a slashing motion to use swords like in the legend of zelda or other nintendo exclusives the will be shown here at "we talk games". The attachement which goes into the bottom is what is called the "nunchuku-style" which ultimately makes the combanation look like nunchuku with them both combining still as a wireless controller.

This could make for some interesting gaming. Most obviously the revolution will have many exclusive titles but we we still wait for further developments. However for now you can expect to see some very interesting concepts develop as they may be planning to have a single player be able to use two controllers, one in each hand.

Overall, this controller is meant to give new gamers an easy and less intimidating introduction to gaming while providing an inovative product to the existing veteran gammers.

What do you think about this new concept. It is no doubt very interesting. Do you think it is somthing that is going to stick in the gamming market place?

New MotoGP!!



I have just taken a look at the new moto gp for playstation2 It looks off the hook. I think it is going to be one of the cleanest racing games out for any of the consoles it is available for. It looks as if they have taken the realism to the next level. all of the charicter and rider physics are great. It still seems though that the bike is not as responsive to the controller but thats what you get with simulators.

here is a segment from metacritic.com:

MotoGP4 continues the series's tradition of realism and speed with an advanced physics engine, authentic rider animations and multiple weather conditions for a truly intense racing experience. Players can take part in the thrills and drama of professional racing across all three engine classes from the 2004 season, including MotoGP, 125cc and 250cc throughout 16 accurately recreated tracks from around the world.... read more at http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/motogp4

Nintendo Revolution controllers!


I really don't know what to think about these controllers? They look cool but I would think that nintendo would have gone in a different direction rather than take a throwback and put a spin on it! I think people will like the revolution controllers for a little while because it will be a change for bit but overall it looks like ps3 and xbox 360 will take over again?

Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3 vs. Revolution!

I am always curious as to why and what people have to say about the new next gen systems comming out! I also like to here what people have to say here about who will come out on top and why. Also who do you think has the best marketing plan thus far!? So if you have two cents to give please pay up Because I really would like to open up disscussion on this!

dead or alive 4!!

I have always loved this game. You won't really see many difference in this new DOA game exept for the skill level this requires. This also has a whole buch of more players with a special guest apperance by guess who? The spartan from Halo!! What can you belive this. What kinda sucks is that you have to play all of the story modes and other stuff to unlock characters and costumes. The online play in this game is probably going to be the highlight of this game but overall I like the game and I think it will be a good buy and addition to your system!!

super monkey ball for the ds

This game can be seriously frustrating! take your mokey balls through multiple courses all different. the objective is to get to the finish and get through mini games. I dunno The game is alright but I am just not into the nintindo DS! Sorry! I like to play with big boy portable game consoles like the PSP!

fifa 06 For the xbox 360!

If you like soccer games then I would advise you to get this for the 360. however because the game is so clear it can make some of the players look kinda wierd . over all this game is alright. But in fifa 06 is missing some little things like manegment mode and other things and there are only 72 team compaierd to the hundreds in the ps2 version! To play this game you would definatley need to have a great love for this game. If not I would recomend you say your 50 bucks for a better game maybe wait for that gears of war to come out!

pac man world 3!

all this is, is a bunch of jumping and watching bad pixles . this game includes old retro games which are by the way very slow. if you want sombody to be turned off by the world of gamming then play this game. crazy colors and slow game play makes John a dull boy!

Super mario "strikers"

This is another mario driven sports title all you do is pick one of marios buddies as a side kick and mash those buttons. this is said to be the most violent mario do date. all the way from tackling players into the electiric fence to getting blasted by king koopa. this has simple controls and they are all very responsive and they give great resonse so the action is at the tip of your fingers. Over all its a good game.

Playstation 3 is said to be 600 euro!

I couldnt believe my ears when I heard that the price of the playstation 3 was going to be around the estemated amount of 600 euro. If you are from america like I am, 600 euro translates almost into $700 USD. Does anybody else see this as a problem. Not for the consumer as much as it is for these last next gen consoles comming out. The market as it stands now is in microsofts favor. With as many as 800,000 360s sold already in consoles alone, microsoft is still preparing for another go when this summer comes around and next holiday season with possibly only the ps3 to compete against with its price at 600 euro or roughly 700 dollars without games. By that time guess what the 360 could do? You guessed right give out discounts and luanch their much anticipated games to push the system even harder.
People still forget that games such as halo 3 and gears of war are said to be what might push the xbox 360 into the lead indefinatley. If you look at the numbers just halo 2 alone sold over 8,500 copies at one store in 11 minutes and had a pre-sold list of 1.5 million. Halo 2 was so big that even some local grocerie stores had been taking orders. The numbers go on and on on this one game. And lets not even talk about final fantasy and its compatibility with the xbox 360. You can read up some more cool facts about halo 2 here at cnn.com just search for halo 2 at cnn.com.
As for the nintindo, who knows what they plan to do... What I just caught wind of was that nintindo is planning on taking it's revolution and pricing it right under $120 bucks. Sounds similar to when it launched it first nintindo right? But what relevence will nintindo have if they keep pushing kiddy games to the masses. I will talk more about marketing strategy and some bad moves in which nintindo has applied themselves. You can read it at www.johnmarshnotes.blogspot.com.
