    Dat is inderdaad wel een beetje raar. Past in het rijtje van de attachment die je voor de SP moest kopen om een koptrelefoon te kunnen gebruiken en de attachment voor de GB Micro zodat je de linkkabel kunt gebruiken. Implementeer dat dan gewoon meteen!

    Volgens mij komt dat omdat Nintendo dan een aparte licentie moet kopen om DVD-afspeelmogelijkheden toe te mogen voegen, wat natuurlijk wordt doorberekend in de prijs van de console.

    Ik vind het wel goed. Laat mensen zelf kiezen of ze nou DVD-afspeelmogelijkheden willen of niet.
    Wil je het wel, betaal je dus ook iets meer... ik hoef het niet, ben al voorzien van een goede DVD speler

    quote:
    Broadway, a great DUAL processor
    Despite the people who only can insult me, and want to blow me away,
    I'm gonna keep talking about Revolution.
    Today, is the "Broadway" turn.

    First of all, I'm glad cause there are some people who is trying to say I'm a fake.
    And that's why cuz in their words exist the word "trust".
    So my question is...If they don't trust in me, Why are they keep reading my blog?
    Oh! Didn't you believe in me? Why are you wasting your time with my blog?
    Please, get away from my blog if you don't want to believe me.


    I'm not here to prove I'm a fake or not, I'm here to write my blog to the people who still
    believe in me. For these people: Thanks. I'm really glad.

    On the other hand, there are some people who only can hurt me saying I said "RS fake" was true.

    You know, I have a poor enlgish, I know it. I put "RS fake pic" to say Revolution will use
    HD-DVD and not to say this pic is true(...).
    Anyway, you're free to think anything about me. I respect you.

    But let me tell you guy I said Nintendo won't use DVD for Revolution Games(...)
    and my proof is that Nintendo had said "12cm discs designed for Revolution" after I said it.
    And if there is someone who still believe in me, I wanna tell you the next thing: Revolution will play HD-DVD
    Nintendo is against piracy(...) and the DVD way wouldn't be a good way to fight against it.
    Nintendo had thought about all these troubles all along.

    What about the 19th day? IGN has your answers like I said, all your answers. This day was for IGN.
    I thought Nintendo would reveal Revolution for nintendo fans but, to protect Revolution,
    they decided to show it ONLY FOR IGN...Uh, Matt?

    Why do you think IGN has too many information about Revolution? And there is some information
    that they couldn't reveal yet, I can understand them, it's obvious(...)

    They can't reveal what will be the controller pad(...). Oh! feel is good, doesn't it?

    So, let's go to talk about Broadway. Like I said, it will be too potent and it...
    will be a great DUAL processor.

    Broadway was developed in Austin, Texas where about 6,500 people work mainly in software,
    hardware and semiconductor design. Broadway will be produced at IBM's East Fishkill, N.Y., factory.

    It will be better than Xbox360's processor.

    Yeah, Broadway will be too potent and more porwerful than it.

    I can tell you guy that Broadway will be 40% faster than G5 processors.
    A dual processor of G5 means 2,7Ghz (2700Mhz) each one more or less.


    Broadway will be a great Dual processor with a fast bus.
    Revolution will be a pretty fast system.

    That's all, I cannot tell you anymore.
    But I'll keep writing my blog anyway

    See you later...

    Iedereen wil gewoon weten of er al iets over bekend is, dan gaan ze zoeken en vinden ze nog niks. Bij de andere consoles zoeken ze 1 keer en vinden ze het, daardoor lijkt het alsof de revo populairder is.

    More Revolution Support?

    In a recent interview with GameSpot, developer Bioware, known for Knights of the Old Republic, has stated that while they have two games in development for the Xbox 360, they may not give the system their full support. Bioware has also stated that they are closely looking at the other next generation systems as well, citing their unique characteristics and power.

    Surprisingly, they make reference to the Nintendo Revolution and its ability to download and play 20 years worth of games. Could we see some support from Bioware? Hopefully yes, but until then, stick with Nintendo Now for all your Nintendo news.

    quote:
    Is it good?

    The main question you probably want to have answered is ‘what is the revolutionary aspect?’. Well, can’t tell you, not at this time. I also doubt I’ll ever tell you before it’s officially revealed. I just don’t want to spoil the surprise for anyone. Also, it would be way too risky for me and my job since it could clue-in Nintendo to where I work and the competition would become too much ‘in the know’. So your second question will be ‘is it good?’. Of course it’s good! Why would Nintendo boast so much with the name “Revolution” when it isn’t any good? They wouldn’t, since they’re perfectly aware of what the average gamer or any person for that matter, would like to see in a gaming console. At least they are ever since Reggie and Iwata got some mayor influence within the company. Both of them are great assets to Nintendo with a very solid vision of the future.

    Nintendo isn’t stupid, they would want to give you more information, but they know they can’t do so. Remember analog sticks on controllers? Hell, Nintendo almost single handedly invented the console market as it is today. Now, they want to have something really special again. They want to have their brilliant thing _ONLY_ for themselves, at least during the entire Revolution life-cycle. Try proving them wrong; you can’t. You might think that both Sony and Microsoft are too far into development to implement the revolutionary technology in either PS3 or Xbox 360, but you’re wrong. You see, the technology or concept which allows the Revolution to live up to it’s name, isn’t all that complex to implement. It’s just an idea which nobody thought about, up till now. The revolutionary aspect isn’t based on completely new technologies, it simply implements existing technology in totally new ways, never before seen in the game industry. One might say that the new Nintendo system doesn’t necessarily make the console revolutionary, but intuitively.

    Well what about power? It’s hard to say since a lot can still be changed until launch. Miyamoto wasn’t lying when he said that development kits weren’t sent to developers yet. What he didn’t tell you though, is that many developers _DO_ have some indication of what the hardware will be capable of as well as the controller and the console's other unique aspects. I myself might be able to give you some general info about the specs, but for now, let me tell you this: the Revolution is indeed a very capable piece of gaming hardware, fairly comparable to it’s competitors. Nintendo actually employs some new form of cooling solution for it’s hardware, as well as a new visualisation technology which is derived from cube-mapping. It will not be used by every game, but it basically adds depth to pre-rendered backgrounds. Imagine the mansion of Resident Evil for the GameCube, only this time with a true field of depth and a lot of interactivity.

    Well, that wraps it up for today. More info will be posted during the course of next week.

    Speculatie wellicht, maar wie weet heeft Ninty wel een stoere gpu ontwikkeld die heel sterk is in 'relief mapping' op textures, tensamen met een voxel gpu of zo.

    Als je wilt weten wat relief mapping kan doen, moet je even naar dit forum gaan : http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=49067&page=22&pp=15#324

    Hier hebben ze een relief mapping techniek losgelaten op de doom3 engine, als je de video download kun je zien hoe relief mapping 2d textures geloofwaardig 3d maken.

    First off; This controller does not exist. Okay? It will still be quite a while before Nintendo reveals what their next generation controller will look like.

    Taking a literal interpretation of what they said before the Nintendo DS was introduced, we might expect the Revolution controller to have a touch-screen on it but that would make a costly and unintuitive controller... Another interpretation would be that they mean to introduce a whole new way to control games.

    The speculation is that there will be a motion sensor inside the controller. That a player could control the game simply by moving the controller through space - up/down, side-to-side, even tilting. Think of it as a more advanced form of Kirby's Tilt and Tumble.

    A built-in microphone is probable too. Aside from that, we can expect some evolution to the traditional part of the controller - likely two thumb sticks, 4 face buttons, 2 triggers and hopefully two additional triggers to satisfy game developers. The Z button on the GameCube was difficult to press, so hopefully these new triggers would be intuitive. In my imaginary controller, these buttons actually push inwards instead of downwards like the usual triggers - this would allow a finger to use both triggers without having to shift position.
    All those moments will be lost, like tears in rain... Time to die.

    Taking a literal interpretation of what they said before the Nintendo DS was introduced, we might expect the Revolution controller to have a touch-screen on it but that would make a costly and unintuitive controller... Another interpretation would be that they mean to introduce a whole new way to control games.

    The speculation is that there will be a motion sensor inside the controller. That a player could control the game simply by moving the controller through space - up/down, side-to-side, even tilting. Think of it as a more advanced form of Kirby's Tilt and Tumble.

    A built-in microphone is probable too. Aside from that, we can expect some evolution to the traditional part of the controller - likely two thumb sticks, 4 face buttons, 2 triggers and hopefully two additional triggers to satisfy game developers. The Z button on the GameCube was difficult to press, so hopefully these new triggers would be intuitive. In my imaginary controller, these buttons actually push inwards instead of downwards like the usual triggers - this would allow a finger to use both triggers without having to shift position.
    Gewoon in PS2 controller in een Gamecube jasje + gryoscopic en built-in mic.

    Kom op zeg. Use your imagination.

    NOA vice president George Harrison talks 'bout a Revolution


    Amid the loud roars and beating chests of Sony and Microsoft last week, you'd be forgiven for forgetting about Nintendo completely.

    Nintendo - the once dominating force of videogames - sat quietly in the corner, all alone and looking at its watch every five minutes, while its rivals danced and cheered the night away, full of satisfaction and optimism.

    But Nintendo hasn't given up. The lack of any next-gen gameplay footage and the omission of the 'revolutionary' controller at the pre-E3 Nintendo conference may have been a disappointment, but Nintendo does have a plan up its sleeve.

    In a recent interview with US website GameSpot, Nintendo of America vice president George Harrison answered some burning questions, finally giving some kind of clue as to how Nintendo plans to play this generation.

    Beginning by referring to Nintendo's next-gen chances, Harrison confidently claimed, "Revolution will have no real problem standing up to [PS3 and Xbox 360]," keenly pointing out that, while Sony and Microsoft have laid their cards on the table, Nintendo is yet to actually reveal its final specs, regardless of what has been said by the press.

    Harrison then explained that getting developers on board is key to the Revolution strategy, and Nintendo is working hard to ensure Revolution is both easy and cheap to develop for.

    As far as what makes the console revolutionary, Harrison was coy regarding the controller, instead focusing on Nintendo's online plans and downloadable games service.

    "People sort of picked on us for not prematurely jumping into online or internet gaming," he mused, going on to point out that now the company has more to offer besides online gaming. Harrison then confirmed that past-gen, Nintendo-created titles will indeed be downloadable for free.

    This is a clever move by Nintendo: regardless of the final power of Revolution and the frequency of new titles, Nintendo knows that its loyal fans will cry tears of joy over a free service that lets them download previous Nintendo classics straight out of the box.

    Third-party developers could charge for the privilege to download though. Or, alternatively, they could offer downloadable classics as an incentive to buy their next-gen full price releases. Either way, classic Nintendo titles such as Castlevania and MegaMan may not be immediately accessible.

    A similar model applies to online gaming. Playing Nintendo titles across the internet will be free, whereas third-party publishers will be able to charge whatever subscription rates they wish.

    Still, with a massive back-catalogue of titles and some key franchises that gamers have been wanting to play online for some time - Mario Kart, to name but one - it's unlikely the occasional fee for a third-party offering will spoil Nintendo's idea too much.
