Awesome. I sure hope it' s a launch title.

Suda 51, Managing Director of Capcom' s Studio 4, states that his studio has confirmed its plans for their first next-gen title with Nintendo, and has said that they will officially unveil the game at E3 next month.

Studio 4 are the guys behind Killer 7, ...perhaps it could even make launch...

yeah back in the days of TGS 2005 they were the first to talk about some concept they have for a game ...


About HotD4 - I think it' s possible with SD resolutions.I also think that you would play with revmote and some addons to make it feel like a gun.

The possibilities for Revolution add-ons are endless...

Just think tho im not sure if anyone has actually read or heard about how awesome RED sTEEL plays, ..

Just imagine trying to play a FPS on a standard pad after ?? its gona feel weak and limited ..

Nintendo have so got this in the bag..

The Revolution scares me. It will probably changes our lives... forever!
Btw, I' ve played an arcade game where you hold a sword and cut down enemies by swinging it. It was awesome and worked perfectly. I got tired though but that' s because the sword was quite heavy. If the Revolution can match that experience, which I' m sure it will, then the Revolution will probably be my favourite console.
The arcade game shows that the idea of controlling games like this isn' t new. But Nintendo is taking it to new heights. If you want innovation and all that, then it' s the arcades you need to visit.

I now understand why they have 2 levels of RAM in rev - first is 24 MB (like GCN - probably for compatibility of GC games) and the other (external RAM as they call it) is 64MB - both are accesed at the same speed.

I think upgrading clock speed of GPU and CPU isn' t the only upgrade - it' s impossible - with that amount of RAM they need bigger bandwitdth for optimal performance (since GCN hardware is optimised for lower clock speeds and 24MB of RAM).

I think that these days normal mapping and other effects are taken for granted.I would expect REV to have some signifficant architecture changes in GPU at least.Some features will definitely be added.

You' re probably right about the RAM. The 24MB block is limited to that exact amount so Gamecube games don' t get confused and not run. It does make sense.

More scans.

Now let' s get some good scans! These are overly compressed. A lot of those screens look like cut scenes or renders since they are shooting to the left and not towards you.

Yeah they do look a bit ...not realtime ...We' ll see at E3 - it' s been confirmed as a launch title and will debut there.

Still those screens look fuckin awesome...

Remember it' s not a normal first person game, ...you control the hand with the remote, even controlling the tilt of the gun.

They look fine to me.

They have been touched up though, that' s fairly obvious.

I think the characters look kind of bad. Well not bad but they look like they came from an Xbox game.

maybe but those characters would get 10/10 for graphics on xbox

Hopefully they will die in a next gen way bleeding next gen blood bringing next gen smile on our retro faces :)

I wonder to what degree those screens are upgraded.

Can' t they show it today? god dammit it' s killin me :)

Well the first thing I' m hitting at E3 will be the Nintenod booth. I want to get a shot on the Rev before it' s swamped by 4 hours lines (Zelda last year...). Then I' ll actually be able to make up my mind on whether I like the thing or not. From there I may hit the PS3 just to get some time in with what the machine has to offer. From there I' ll be drooling over Gears of War.

From there I may hit the PS3 just to get some time in with what the machine has to offer.

You' ll be lucky. Sony are going to be showing off PS3 the way they did with PSP. Press will get private viewings of whatever Sony choose and you' ll have to queue for hours to get to play the thing because Sony aren' t planning on having loads of demo machines on the show floor.

You' re going with Kikizo?!

The graphics arent looking as Fantastic now compared to when i first saw them, i think that lighting just threw me off a little.

Since they got Doom3 to run on the xbox, this means that getting ports of such engines used in quake 4 and call of duty would not be impossible. Maybe even a scaled down Unreal Engine 3. Who knows?

Mario has gone UNREAL!

I hope they do Mario right on the Revolution. I still have nightmares about Sunshine.

Devs at Nintendo always make a groundbraking revolution in gamedesign when they have new interface (4 buttons for SNES , Analog for N64) , so I would expect some truly revolutionary revisions of Zelda , Mario Wave Race and so on.

I hope they do Mario right on the Revolution. I still have nightmares about Sunshine.

Hahahahahaha...

Sunshine sucked when compared to Super Mario 64, but when you compare it to other platform games it fares much better.

Mario 128 (it can' t possibly still be 128) has been in development for ages now. I think the game will be a launch title.

On that note, what games do you guys expect at launch?
