No Revolution at E3 (time for a throat slitting...a rant) - Page 3

KillerGremlin · 04-20-2005, 04:08 PM

Regarding hype, I think I feel more hyped up about something when I see it but I can't have it. If you want to generate anticipation, show the console but don't let me get my hands on it! Hell, I'm going to see the new Microsoft and Sony consoles, and I'm going to get hyped up to play them. And by that time, I'm not even going to be remotely interested in Nintendo. I already have a DS, and I have no hype for that. Sure, I'll check out the DS games from E3, but I'll be doing that after I check out all the new stuff. Talk about risky logic on Nintendo's part.

Wonder how it will affect sales.

The only way Nintendo can survive this is that, they unveil the Revolution not too long after E3 if not at E3.

They could surprize us all and hold a SpaceWorld. I think I could partially forgive them if they pulled that out of their hat.

Not like I actually follow gaming news anymore, but I'm almost positive that someone said we'd see the Revolution at E3.. but then again, i don't pay much attention :P

That used to be the case, but it seems that as of late Nintendo has changed their mind.

Does the Revolution's presence at E3 affect any standard gamer's decision to buy one?

Answer: Nope.

Therefore, it can be stated that it does not matter at all whether Revolution or any console appears at E3. It wouldn't matter if anything was at E3. It's a 100% obligation-free event for companies to preview their games and systems. Not a mandatory show. And all the droning over what will and won't be there is quite sickening. If I was the owner of E3, I would cancel it for 100 years as a penalty for the incessant whining.

Now sit down!

Fixed it for ya!

^ Because chances are, if you're not a fanboy already you aren't gonna give the Revolution a chance in hell...and I don't blame you...how would you even know about it?

And it might not matter to gamers...but think of developers...I can't see Nintendo getting much if any 3rd party support this coming gen...that is if Revolution is really the faboo that Nintendo leads others to believe that they themselves might think it is...

First off the Revolution will not be at E3, but it's not like they aren't going to show anything. If they show demos it could cause a lot of hype just like the unplayable version of Halo 2 at E3 2004 did. We will also know somewhat of how revolutionary it will be from a game demo. We will now if it is going to be an augmented reality machine (doubt it).

I could realy care less who wins at E3, I will be buying a console for good games that are made for it, not because it says Nintendo or Sony on it.

Bad decision for Nintendo. We've all heard the bullsh*t responses in the past of 'ZOMG, our technology is SO UBER that we must keep it under wraps because of fear our competitors will steal the ideas'. *cough* Super Mario Sunshine? What company has f*cking stolen the water pack idea? NONE

Get your heads out of your ass Nintendo and fight the competition. Not cower in the corner and pull a Gollum going 'My preciousssss' and not showing it to anyone else or whatever.

If Nintendo confirms little stuff with Revolution at E3, there are gonna be alot of pissed off gamers that will MOST DEFINITELY go 'F*ck Nintendo, if I dont know what Revolution is all about, I'm gonna go with the 2 companies that have told me what I want to buy that is sleek, awesome, and new'. Then developers will give Nintendo yet another cold shoulder for keeping so much BS under wraps for stupid assed fears of 'Competitors taking our ideas'. Grow some balls for once Nintendo and release everything to the public. Hype it to hell and back. Show people why they should choose Revolution over PS3 or Xbox 360.

Yeah....because sweet graphics is totaly revolutionary! Halo 2 blew up in Mircrosoft's face by the way. Go read some of the conspiracy threads regarding E3, Halo 2, and what was shown.

See, this all boils down to Nintendo forcing their revolution. If I don't see my revolution, then game demos mean little to nothing when I can see the same quality graphics and I can put them with a console. Minus the franchise titles, it's an interesting strategy on Nintendo's part.

Whoa, slow down here folks. Do you honestly believe that announcing 3 consoles in the same day is going to help Nintendo out? Look at the facts: Sony has the large majority of the market, Microsoft is in 2nd (last time I checked at least, remember: Iraq) and has the first console to be released, Nintendo is in 3rd, and while Nintendo always seems to put on a good show, for the people who don't watch the pre-E3 shows live on the net, it doesn't mean much.

Sony and Microsoft can fight each other for magazine spreads and web space. Let it happen. All Nintendo needs to do is ensure the public that they can, and will be able to compete. By displaying a graphically-rich video and throwing around a few facts here and there about the console, they can do enough to keep people wondering about what they are hiding. Then, in a few months, when all the hype for Sony and Microsoft's new toys die down, they can reveal the Revolution, in a special press event where they have complete control. No competitors products interfering, no comparisons between which system stole the show. They get all the press, all the magazine covers, all the front page stories to themselves. People would have to be blind not to notice.

They just have to make sure they can follow up on the hype.
