Revolution Interface

Dyne · 01-24-2006, 10:51 PM

Gamecube's interface was very dynamic; a spinning cube using the actual resources of the hardware. So why should the revolution's be dumbed down? Why WOULDN'T they play on some neat gyro controller tricks?

The only argument FOR this is that the DS uses it. So what? That makes it even less creative.

I just don't buy it. Even if it is a "developer's kit." I can't see them using the Nintendo font like that and any schmo with some damn Laptop-to-AV cables can recreate that on any screen.

I still call bogus. I want to see him powering up the Rev and going to it before even remotely believing it.

Dyne, once again: REVOLUTION DOESN'T USE GYRO TECHNOLOGY!

Ah I feel a lot better now.

And first saying that he'll get in trouble, now posting his face?

Wait, what?

The rev controllers does NOT use gyro technology. That's what a lot of people thought when Nintendo invested in that company.
Nintendo themselves have never used the therm.

The controller's sensors also recognize twisting, rotating and tilting movements. In short, any motion made by arms and wrists can be translated to Revolution games.

There you have it. It's the sensor bar that does the complicated work. The controller only contains a few transmitters. At least that's how I understand it.

I wonder also if we could spin that image a little and see what the date says now in that new image, I'm not surprised he turned the angle so we couldnt see the date this time

I refuse to believe that developers have little to their disposal..... I mean... a small a$$ tv on what would appear to be a dresser.... I've been in developer studios before on tour and it doesn't look so homely....
