And these pics are from ourcolony.net:

EDIT: Ah, Crash posted similar images in the colony thread. Guess these are legit.

EDIT2: Apparently Microsoft shows decoys to draw out moles in the project like they did with this:

Who knows.

^ Haha yeah. But is that a track ball in the middle there?

hmmmm, now a track ball on the controller might be a VERY good idea. far better then any touch screen would be. even tho i'd still hope for mouse and keybaord support, cuz they are by far the best for FPS games, a track ball honestly would be the next best option.

not sure how good it would work in the middle of the controller tho. if that even is one.

Maybe it's just me, but I've never been able to use a trackball. They suck.

Null · 04-10-2005, 07:44 PM

they do take more practice. and i've only ever used a big one size of your palm, once you get used to it its much like a mouse. altho i'd greatly prefer a mouse. but a trackball is certainly better for games like fps's then a analog stick it.

Did any consoles besides Colecovision ever utilize a trackball?

Well I was thinking that PS3 would be a blueish silver, and Revolution to be that white silver like the new GC color...

Null · 04-11-2005, 11:38 AM

My Prediction is all 3 will come in optional colors

but the 'main' color for each, the one they'll be revealed in im almost positive for PS3 will be the shinny black like the surface of the PSP. MS is an interesting one, i'd find it rather ironic that MS would release a system in that shinny white look, being that it would make something Microsoft made look like something from Apple. I think Nintendo will be in a shinny white as thier main. im almost thinking more of a Silver for MS tho. a metal look to it.

Well we won't know the look of the revolution in E3 tho... only Xbox 360 and PS3 are being shown... the actual hardware.

Null · 04-11-2005, 12:29 PM

all i've seen is that evolution wont be PLAYABLE at e3, that doesnt mean it wont be shown. sites are still saying that nintendos set to reveal its next console at thie press conference.

MuGen · 04-11-2005, 12:36 PM

Uhmm... sites are still saying, but you do remember that Reggie Fils-Aimes specifically said that E3 will not be Revolution's coming out party, and they will only unveil more specs and information about it.... The e3 for the Nintendo camp according to Reggie, was going to be focused on their DS and the new Zelda game.

Null · 04-11-2005, 12:41 PM

yes. thats what im talking about it. find it again if you can. he didnt say evolution would NOT be shown, he said it wouldnt be the focus, and wouldnt be playable. but you can bet they will show SOMETHING. be it a bunch of tech demos like they did at first for gamecube, or showing the system itself and some videos. or just show the console in the videos. there will be something more then them coming out and just telling the crowd a list of specs.

MuGen · 04-11-2005, 01:31 PM

Ahh no, i don't believe it to be true... lol

Well, I'm not going to sit here and act like I don't want it to be shown. thats just how I perceived Reggie's comments...

If it's shown, then it is.... if not... then I was right.... MWAHAHA
