Yea. I still wonder about those specs. I mean, who knows. Seems theyre going by pure speculation at this point. And there is still no word on what the GPU will be like.

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

I'm liking the header... looking just shazzy!

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

Minus the "Revolution" at the top, it is exactly the same as the PS2 page. Pretty meh if I do say so.

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

Well, a first for IGN it seems on giving the channel but could they honestly blame them for having to do so?

But after reading the spec's, I think I'll at least have a Rev and PS3. Rev for the unique/fun games and PS3 for the "OMGWTFPWNZR GRAFFIX AND GAMES"

*feels disappointed*

I can't help it, part of the excitement of next generation consoles for me has always been improved graphics. A souped up Xbox would have nice graphics but they won't be as impressive as PS3 and Xbox 360 graphics. Still intrigued with the gameply though. Who knows, maybe the control scheme and gameplay will be so innovative and interesting that I won't mind played-down graphics.

About f'ing time.

Animal Crosssssssssssssssing :cool:

I'm still very hesitant about the controller. To me, the now traditional D-pad set-up is ideal. It helps create a seamless bond between the gamer and the game. In my mind, if you have to think about the controller functionality after 30 minutes of gameplay, the game has failed you in a way.

I'll have to wait and see how it pans out. Maybe the new Nintendo controller will be the wave of the future... but it looks more like it will be doomed to follow the Virtual Boy. I do honestly hope I'm wrong, and th new controller is simply brilliant, but this new strategy by Nintendo for consoles just confounds me.

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

So it will be about as powerful as Xbox 360 eh?

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

My take on that comment is that end generation Revolution games might look like first generation 360 games.

But I've got an open mind, and I'm not really worried about it. As of right now I'll be getting a Revolution to compliment a 360 or PS3. That might change, but right now it's really getting to be a lot clearer to me what Nintendo's trying to do and it really could work - I'm sold on it at this point. But they've gotta convince the general public of that because without support for the idea it's going to die prematurely.

It wouldnt surprise me if Ninty launches Rev at $150 or so considering the guts of the machine wont be that much higher hten current ones and with how cheap hardware can get in 5 years, who knows...

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

naw, they'll launch at $199 or $250

They don't wanna be in that "It's-cheap-because-its-crap" category.

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

I really don't think Nintendo will go higher than $200 on a standard package. But at the same time, Nintendo's never been in the business of losing money on hardware like Microsoft has been - they'll charge what they need to charge and lower the price when they can.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a Microsoft with a Nintendo Download & Play package that was slightly more expensive with a point card for downloading old Nintendo Games and extra goodies. Maybe a $200 base, $250 Special Edition?

Re: IGN Revolution channel open
 

Excellent idea Mariolover. :) I can imagine paying $50 extra, just to be able to download the toppers that I want.

Not that I don't have them already, but sometimes it can be hard to play on broken consolers/controllers. :(
