Revolution Controller (and more details about the Rev with video demo)

The only thing that would acceptable is if they pack in the controller shell so that you can play other games also. Yes you can use the wave bird but I would like something more in line with the dimond of the SNES and mulitiple shoulder buttons. They said they have a shell to do this but it has not been shown yet. That is the saving grace in my mind.

I believe a,b do the same as A,B because it would be way to confusing other wise. It would be horrendous design in my mind. Its not like the buttons are drastically different in color or shape to make what they tell you to do on scree super intutitive. That is my reasoning behind a,b=A,B.

I think the novelty of it all could wear off quick, just like the novelty of the EyeToy that was all the rage 18 or so months ago. "OMG IT WILL CHANGE THE FACE OF GAMING FOREVER!" the gaming media cried.

Gimmick or revolution? My money is on the former, but I'll wait and see.

My playstation buttons have faded long ago but I know the controls to all of my games through use. Even with games I havent played before Once Im familiar with the controller it doesnt take long. Its not like I look at the controller as I play and I dont think any gamer does that if a keyboards not involved.

You call that a controller

I like the diamond face because it is more useful. I can hit Square and circle without hitting the others. Try doing the equivilent of X-B on the cube. You can't. B-Y isn't all the friendly to do either. I want in diamond for functional reasons.

what games did you ever have to hit B-X or B-Y?

OH MY GOD! WHAT THE smurf IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?!?

*cries*

You didn't but then again they don't really have many fighting games which is where [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] like that comes into play. That and hard action games which the Cube also lacks.

I couldn't imagine playing street fighter or tekken on that system. It would just suck because the controller is not meant to be used in that way.

are you kidding, this could be the best fighting game system ever. Hold A to do punches as you swing the control, hold B to do kicks, hold both to do grabs.... people could use the same characters, and do completely different moves and create their own combos.

THE JACKEL

*cries some more*

You obvious must be confused or are a total dip[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].

We were talking about the Gamecube controller right?!?1? RIGHT?!?! So why the hell did you bring the revolution controller into this. I never said it couldn't be used to be a great fighting game thing.

*punches j00 in the face*

That would kickass actually. I guess it really is easier to criticise than to come up with ideas.

we're talking about the GC, uh huh, well I still thnik Soul Calibur 2 played best on the GC, Y+B was a grab, and X+b was non existent, but B was guard, as were the shoulders, so you could use shoulder and Y and it worked, so yeah

THE JACKEL

Last time I check Sould Calibur used 4 buttons while other fighting games that use more are not on the system. Like Tekken or Street fighter.

Also if it isn't in this thread it could be in the other one where I said it would be cool if they were to have made a matial arts trainer game. It isn't that hard to be creative.

Baseball, Swing the bat.
Football, Tape the controller to your foot and kick :D
Football, Throw the smurfing pass
FPS, DUH! Aim the controller
Racing, You could just hold it like a steering wheel but it isn't all that great...just like using a normal controller isn't all that great for a racer.
RTS could finally be done because it could act like a mouse on the screen.
Fighting games could be don as said or they could make device that plugs in that has 5 sensors it places on your ankels, wrists and head so then you really fight. THAT would be cool.

It isn't hard to come up with ideas but that still doesn't stop me from not really liking it.

I am uneasy about it as well, but this is a wait and see thing. I'm sure that it will work out somehow. Plus, developers can still program games to use the Gamecube's controller, I think. And I'm sure most games will come with an option where you would be able to use the GC controller too.

Relax ed, and check out the MGS4 trailer.

I really hope they don't make a lot of the games compatible with the old controller, they said they wanted veterans and new games to start on the same ground, so by doing that they wouldn't be on the same ground. Plus, I don't want people who don't appreciate the features using it, seems like a waste, this is going to be awesome, and I think a lot more people will see that when they actually get to use it
