Great, just great. My cat just got sucked into a mini worm hole. Thanks a lot Neo.

Re: Revolution
 

Don't worry, Zelda has cats!

Re: Revolution
 

I get it! One of the cats in the Zelda trailer is yours, sucked into the future Revolution! Oh wait, the Zelda game is for the Cube...

Backwards compatibility for handhelds is very useful because you don't have to bring multiple consoles with you.
With the home consoles, it's just a matter of switching the cables (or changing the channel) and you can play your old games again. :)

At first I didn't think gyroscopic controllers would be a good idea because your wrists would get tired trying to move a mario-like character. But someone at ign pointed out that it could be used for aiming a reticule on a FPS. That I think might actually work as it requires minimal effort on the part of the lazy game.

Re: Revolution
 

Its just a matter of switching CD's with Backward compatibilities.... or how the wonders of backwards compatibility can be shot down so easily.... yet it can also have an uprising the size of a typhoon.

Backwards compatibility is there for convenience, and not for innovation or any other reason. If you don't like backwards compatibility then don't use it. Do your old switching cables, and channel thing Cany, but those who would have backwards compatibility for convenience sake aren't at fault for liking the idea.

You shoot it down like it's not needed or people are getting way too excited over it.

One thing is for sure, it's not needed but it's nice to have it there. I still have my PSX but I never use it, only because it's just easier to put in old psx games into the pstwo.

Once again, it's there for convenience.... theres no need to dislike the idea of to like it too much. The arguement is getting tedious ... let's argue about which console will be better or what not.... not over backwards compatibility.

Re: Revolution
 

Its there to get money off the new console without selling the old games :D

i bought the PS2, i sold my PS1 for $25 but kept the games that i could still play using the PS2. :) i'll do the same with my PS2 if PS3 plays PS2 and PS1. Why take up space with old equiptment when the new stuff does everything the old could do. and as Darren pointed out, it becomes less of an issue each generation because theres not a huge difference in graphics.

Re: Revolution
 

Kyuzo, I wasn't shooting it down, I just wanted to point out that it wasn't such a big deal as people pretended it to be...

And I remember when all the Nintendo fans made fun of the PS2 backwards compatibility so I wanted to defend Sony for a change. :D

Re: Revolution
 

I love the fact that we're getting B/C. Unlike last generation's graphics which did not age well at all, I imagine our GC library will still be put to use in the future. And the less consoles and wires I have laying about the better.

It is strange about last gen though.... I still enjoy playing 8 bit and 16 bit games but last gen's graphics are so grainy and blocky as to be an eyesore.

Re: Revolution
 

I think I remember that now too.

"OMG SONY'S SYSTEM SUCKS SO MUCH THEY NEED THE OLD GAMES TOO HAHAHAH ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!1111"

Re: Revolution
 

Well IMO NES and N64 are comparable... new concept, bad graphics. They have some very cool games, but you'd just rather play their sequels with better graphics... It's a shame, really. :(

Re: Revolution
 

All I need is a GoldenEye with revamped graphics, and no change to overall gameplay.

GoldenEye for Revolution (same game, better visuals)... I can honestly say IMO that this would beat even Halo 2 as the best FPS.

Re: Revolution
 

well yea. it might if...halo2 WAS the best fps. lol

Re: Revolution
 

considering Halo is in the Walk of Game? *pukes*

Re: Revolution
 

Yeah we all know how that happened. :rolleyes:

:( Stupid Xbox fans voting a 100 times each.

And GE was good, but just new graphics? Come on.. :p It would be nice, but it's not a good game in that generation.... :(

Re: Revolution
 

Did you just insult GoldenEye? GoldenEye with revamped graphics would own any FPS shooter of today. Whenever I go over my cousins and play Goldeneye I still have more fun with it then I ever did with either Red Faction, Halo, or any FPS of this generation.

The gameplay mechanics was perfection for the N64... nothing but a beautifying touch is needed for GOlden Eye
