Now the last picture...it really looks very convincing...
How big is the actual machine anyway? What microsoft did said is size between ps2 and ps2 slim...it doesn't look that way but it is smaller than xbox. If that is the real machine, no port then how is it gona be compatible with longhorn OS? Let say the wireless receiver is built in...otherwise how else we gona use the wireless controller. |

I'm not too keen with wireless controllers for a few reasons:
(1) Weight (2) Battery life!!! I'll hate recharging the controller every few days like what i'm doing with my Logitech mouse now. Long session of gaming will suck up battery fast....unless they have some new battery solution that can last a few weeks or so...but i doubt it. I wish there's an option of wired controllers. |

i heard that "lubang" beside the power button, might be where u can cucuk the original Xbox controller. Apparently it is hidden in the lubang there. i dunno, still a rumor, but i wish its true. Me too prefer a wired controller.

QUOTE It will also have gyroscopic controls, but like Brooke said, not all the games will use it. For instance, earlier I mentioned Nintendo has a Halo killer in development for the Revolution. This game will use the gyroscopic controls for aiming as wel as other things. Our game isn't using this function. The controller will also be pressure sensitive. The pressure you put into it will determine certain things, such as movement. This is another optional capibility. Someone on Nintendo's board mentioned this months ago. They said that "touching is good, but feeling is better." This may sound strange, but it provides great controls. Racing games will really be helped by this control setting. The Nintendo Revolution will also include voice control more advanced than anything seen so far. Nintendogs is just the beginning. To achieve this, Nintendo sent us headsets (similar to ones you can use for Xbox Live) that are wirelessless communicating with the console. Imagine being able to merely call for an airstrike or reload your gun by giving out commands orally. So far, we have put this feature to the test the most; as you can see, I'm excited over this feature. "From what I've heard, Capcom and Namco are sold on the Revolution and are currently playing around with the development kits. I don't know whether they are actually making games for it though. I was suprised to hear that Square Soft has a game in development for the Revolution. It will be at E3 as well as some other next gen titles for the PS3." "Microsoft is banking on stealing the show, but I think they will be upstaged by Nintendo as well as Sony. It's going to be very funny to see them trying to get people excited about Perfect Dark 0 when both Nintendo and Sony will be showing off Halo killers." "All three consoles are going to be very powerful, trust me. I'll give you some information though: it will be more powerful than the Xbox 360. Much more powerful. Many gamers seem to think it will be as powerful as the GBA or something. That isn't the case at all. From what I saw during my time their as well as our game, it will be very capible. " "As I mentioned earlier, Square Enix (happy now?) is developing a new game for the Revolution. EA, Sega, Zoonami, Namco, and Activision are currently working on games. EA is playing around with the Revolution's capibilities, implementing them into another Madden game. This isn't really news though. From what I've heard, they are really going out of their way to make this more than just a port. Voice controls are being used to the max in this title. Calling out audibles will be used this way. The wireless capibilities of the system are also going to be used. Like I said, there will be no reason to buy Madden for the Xbox 360 when the Revolution version comes out. Sega is developing three games for the Revolution that should be at E3. I'm not going to reveal too much on what they are up to for obvious reasons. The three games I listed does not include the game we are developing for them. You will be very suprised at what they are doing. I'm sure you have heard of the Xbox 360 title Condemned that they are working on. This game is something that many wouldn't expect Sega to make; you won't expect what you will see at E3. The other game they have is a typical, quirky Sega game. It's very interesting in the sense that it uses all the system's capibilities. Zoonami has already given out some hints on what they are working on. I have always felt that Sam Fisher is a much better character than Solid Snake. Zoonami just might have some characters that are better than both of them. Namco is working on a Revolution game, but I don't have details on it. I am sure that it is not a Soul Caliber III port. I don't see why they just won't add online play and Link and Ganon to the game and release it as a launch title. That would be a very smart move. Activision is working on some ports for the Revolution. You will see what they have for the Xbox 360 at E3. At least one of these games will be ported to the Revolution for its launch." "Like I said, I have seen seven Nintendo titles, some of which will be at E3. When the DS was launced, it had one sub par 1st party game. This will not be the case with the Revolution's launch. If they were to release all the games I've seen at launch, it would easily be the best launch ever for a console. I can confirm that Nintendo is working on a new, orignal Mario game. In my opinion, the last few Miyamoto games havn't been that interesting. This will change with this game. Like Mario 64 for the N64, this game will introduce all of the capibilities of the console. It will use the pressure sensitive controls mainly, but the voice controls as well as gyroscopic controls will be used as well. From what I saw, this game will use mini games to introduce many of these schemes. All of these mini games could be released as stand alone games. A new Super Smash Bros. Melee is in the works as well. This game will demonstrate the online functions of the Revolution. Nintendo has added many new things into the game, included a deeper combat system. Many more special moves are included as well as some very cool suprises. The levels will include some destructible environments, and the characters will be fully customizable. Want to play as Mario in his 80's outfit? Or would you prefer the 90's look? It's your choice. The most innovative part of the game is the different modes. In previous games, you were allowed to play in giant mode, metal mode, small mode, etc. That has changed. You will be able to choose to play in a "Paper" mode (a la Paper Mario), a cel shaded mode (Wind Waker), or Viewtiful Joe-esque mode. As I said earlier, Retro is working on a Halo killer.This game is going to be one of the best games at E3. In my opinion, StarCraft was the best RTS ever. This game is going to use some similar ideas. In most FPS, you play as a hero trying to save the day. In Retro's game, they allow you to choose which storyline you want to play, just like StarCraft allows you to play as Terran, Zerg, etc. Biological weapons will play a major part in the game. Imagine fighting in a chemical plant, where toxics are stored everywhere. By shooting them, you emit the toxic. If you get hit by this stuff, many different things may happen. For instance, you may lose sight on the screen, your controls might be inverted or slowed down, etc. Or, if your character gets the fever, the controller might get hot. Very hot. The alien races are very interesting also. You will be able to switch to 3rd person in order to move faster (similar to running in Odd World: Stranger's Wrath). You will be able to "impregnate" human players by grabbing on to them for a certain amount of time. This will implant a NPC in them, which will burst out at your command, instantly killing the human player. You will then be able to use voice control to command the NPC." |

CONTROLLERS GETTING HOT??? VERY HOT??
BWAH! HAAAA! HAAAAA! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard for a game console! Nay...for any electronic gadgets!!! Imagine, you got 2 choice: (1) Either burn your hands OR (2) Drop the controllers I can imagine the worldwide lawsuits lining up to get to Nintendo now... with hand injuries, mental distress, foot injuries(controllers dropped on foot) etc etc etc. LOL. |

No worries, just sapu all the games of the PS2 and it'll probably last you until 2010 if you rigorously play and complete each and every of them...hee-hee.I think software for PS2 should be still available at least until 2007...i hope. |

The Anatomy of a System Launch - What does the next Xbox need to make an impact?
A very nice article by ign. QUOTE Relation to the Xbox 360: As the first system out of the gate after the end of the 32-bit era, to some, the Dreamcast arrived slightly too early. Pushing a console to market can be tricky for a number of reasons. On one side, a company can steal market share by trumping a competitor's outdated hardware. However, if consumers are still comfortable with their current console, they may just wait around for the next big thing. When the Dreamcast was released, many Sony fans didn't see a large enough advance in gameplay and graphics and decided to wait for the PS2. This is very crucial to xbox 360 launch. If the "wow" effect is not there, it will be a failure. Xbox 360 are expected to ship on this christmas.QUOTE "I think price is huge. If they charge 400 for the console and 70 dollars per game, I don't think that will fly with the average consumer. If they charge that much, then the days of owning all 3 consoles is over." -MinnesotaTwins "Good launch games, decent price, and enough systems on shelves that anyone who wants one will be able to get them without paying a fortune on Ebay." -juanjorge "(Microsoft) has to tout every single feature it has, I want to know exactly what it can do and why it's better than what I have." -CyboSage "A promising list of future titles needs to be offered up at launch to comfort the consumer and ensure that they feel that they have picked the right system." -sc285 "They need to advertise that this platform will have the best games. Simple as that. It all comes down to games people, and if your average gamer doesn't see anything to get excited about then this launch wont be acceptable. Also, a reasonable price range is required and I personally think they should release an HD only bundle at launch. This way developers can be ensured that the hard drive will be in plenty of homes." -Proteus4 "Speaking from a retail perspective, one of the things Microsoft did right with the first Xbox launch was to supply retail stores with information pertaining to the machine and its games." -Eponine Xbox Hardware: Entering the HD Era A guide to understanding the changeover to high definition.
