I was mainly talking about Nintendo fanboys - I don't believe a single word of this crap is legit. I think these N-fans have an unheatlhy obsession with Halo due to the commercial failure of Metroid relative to Halo's success, thus they constantly have a need to belittle it.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy, don't assume we all think this way.

Nintendo fanboy obsession with Halo existed way before Metroid came out. Metroid was just another tool in their box.

I think Aegia (the manufacturers) said that one console was too far along in development to have one, and that would have to be Xbox 360.
 
I simply don't like Halo. I didn't like it at the XBox launch, and I let this forum talk me into trying the second one. Didn't like that either. I certainly won't be fooled into purchasing it a third time.

I don't give a crap what kind of graphics it has.
 
So the Halo killer is being made by Retro and features aliens/space?

Anyone else think it'll be Metroid, with a focus on online multiplayer? Nintendo seems to be pushing this series in a new direction with Hunters.
 
The one thing that bothers me about this being fake is that it's so close to E3 that it would almost be pointless to start a hoax just to create controversy, especially since we now have it confirmed the Revolution will be at E3.

No, it's confirmed that there will be Revolution info at E3. Anything else is just rampant speculation.
 
Most likely speculation that may or may not be true. I still enjoy reading it. Also excited to possibly see another Wave Race game, loved the last two. I'm definetely hoping for better track designs than the gamecube version though.

I'm actually indifferent to if this is true or not, this afternoon was boring as hell and that article got me to imagine all kinds of hot shit. E3 is going to rule regardless as well.

Bit skeptical of him stating that there would be no reason to hang out on the internet after revolution though. I mean, if rev comes with a keyboard maybe, but how do i type?
Click to expand...

If the voice stuff is as advanced as he says it is, then it's possible you would talk to the Revolution and it would translate your words into text. I know there's all kinds of PC apps that do this already.
 
Regardless, it is something that, if fake, would be proven wrong in just over two weeks. It almost seems pointless to do it now.

Am I coming out and throwing my support behind it? Of course not. But he does have a few things going for him. Not only is it so close to E3, but he was completely consistent in what he was saying, and with all the "info" he was giving, that would have been pretty difficult unless this had been elaborately planned out (but then, why not do it earlier?).


Besides the above, another thing that supports it being real is the type of info he gave out regarding other companies. I would have normally expected a hoaxer to either be completely vague and unspecific (or only reveal info about one or two companies), or go all out. That he or she said they had no clue about Majesco or much about Square and the like, while knowing info about some other companies -- is strange. That may not neccesarily make you believe it more, but this is not just a random hoax that someone decided to do for the fun of it if it is fake.
 
I can't believe I read all of that this guy not only got me excited for Nintendo but for Sony as well.

Even if its fake it is a damn nice read :)

Indeed, and if it is fake, companies should be taking notes, because what's described sounds like an ultimate console, give or take a feature or two.
 
Everything this guy is saying is pure speculation. It's not that it's fake, it's just bullshit until Nintendo says otherwise.

Also, with GameCube we had that one website... PN2000 or something, forgot the name. They actually had guys on there who revealed the codename and some other shit. Where are sites like that now?
 
And I for one thought today was going to be dull.

I'm still neutral on this but like Smiles and Uni said it was good read. 2 More Weeks until we get more the truth. But everyone knows Nintendo likes to keep things secert, if this is real then someones gonna get it.
 
He said he wasn't worried about breaking NDAs simply, because, well... he didnt sign any. Regarding what he talked about anyway. He didn't reveal anything specfic, he was general enough to avoid putting his job on the line. So he claims. He said he worked for Nintendo for 5 years and then he left to work for a comapny that is "developing a Revolution game" for Sega. Vectorman. He was a developer, but now I believe he's an exec, prolly marketing/advertising.

And Nintendo changes its mind every few months as to what it puts in its hardware, so depending upon the time of the source, the information may well have been true at the time, but it changes all the time (i.e, originally there was suppose to be NO d-pad on the DS, but Nintendo added it later on after saying it wouldnt have one. So no lying/fake news, just outdated news). Most of the exciting stuff he actually "revealed" was what third parties were developing games for it, and what first party games were in development. Most everything else was just "confirming" older rumours.

Still, daaaaaamn exciting. Spread the hype. This is Nintendo's viral campaign.

I think it's fairly safe to say that if Waverace is using a PPU to process the physics of the water that it will probably have the most realistic water ever created. That's speculation on my part, of course, but since Waverace will be a launch title for Rev I think that it'll be the most impressive water ever up until that point.

I think that would be a fairly safe assumption to make if true, but it doesn't sound like a PPU is in Revolution according to this part in this "leak"

On a PPU being
used, we'll see. I don't have the final product, so this could change in the
future. I would think including one would be rather expensive.

something the DS was goin to feature but nintendo decided to give psp a chance so they chose not to included!!!!

(hey don't worry, i was playing nintendogs with my dogs and they peed on my DS but thank god for the PSP best handheld evar)

Actually, you're right. I completely misread the answer because I didn't have the question she was asked, but now it makes sense. She was answering the part of the question where she was asked if Revolution would have a PPU, which is seperate from Waverace. I'll edit that :P
 
pretty interesting stuff if true

man this May is crazy E3 with the new consoles and then the new star wars on the 19th

what a month

A PPU? What the fuck is this fanboy obsession with PPUs? I woulda bought it until that bullshit was brought up.
Click to expand...

As it was just clarified a few posts ago, there was no mention of a PPU actually being used in the Revolution. Someone asked about it, and he/she said, "we'll see."
 
I find it highly ironic that in any case, they are the only one of the three that is promised my money each generation. I would love for some of this to be true as well

Um...I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that an employee at Nintendo, who is privvy to next-gen tech is not asked to sign an NDA prior to leaving them to work for another developer. Think about it...If you're about to launch against two of the biggest companies in the world, you would protect yourself at every turn. Hell, I wouldn't doubt if they made you sign them when you START working there as opposed to when you leave...This guy is full of it...It's obvious.

This reminds of the months leading up to the Xbox launch...There was an "insider" making claims at the msxbox.com (presently teamxbox) forums. The bullshit was so thick it was coming out of my computer. Still most people believed him and even when I proved him to be a liar, people still believed.

For the sake of arguement, lets pretend that all of this is true. Now pretend that you are the President at Nintendo and that prick you let go and is now working on Vectorman is spilling the beans everywhere, what would you do? You'd slap him with a cease and desist order so fast it'd make his head spin and if that didn't work, I'm sure that company thats paying his salary could be reasoned with.

Anyways, believe what you want, but remember, if it too good to be true...
 
Even if the Revolution had all of these features, I still think that this guy is overestimating their impact on gaming while simultaneously underestimating Nintendo's competitors.

I mean, just look at everything he says about the voice capabilities. Considering that each system will probably have a microphone for their online functions, so they could integrate voice into their games in similar ways unless the Revolution has some kind of hardware that would help it understand the language. It sounds like what the next UT game will do. I don't think that either of them wouldn't be able to let you order NPC's around or call in airstrikes. I don't know why you would ever want to reload using your voice.

The gyroscopic control might be nice, but he overvalues it. Even if it were to be useful for racing games, I can't imagine that it would be better than an actual steering wheel. I can't imagine that it would really increase FPS accuracy because moving an entire controller is more unyieldy than moving a single analog stick.

Even if he has all the facts right, it still seems like he could just looking at all of this through fanboy goggles. He praises Nintendo for their online community functions, but MS is already working on strengthening online gaming communities and apparently will continue with the next generation. He is just looking for reasons to praise Nintendo, regardless of whether they are actually surpassing the competition or just coming up to speed.
 
3rdman speaks the truth, I'm not aware of many postitions at NOA who would know so much about not only first party hardware and multiple software projects from entirely seperate development houses, but also know so much about 3rd party projects as well, who would be leaving the company to work on a Vectorman game. He would have to have been very high up, and yes he would have had to sign NDAs for his position.

And this begs the question, when exactly did this guy leave Nintendo? He's at another dev house working another project but he's seen all of this stuff already? Working on another project insinuates he's been doing so for at least a few months (and he gets a whole week off? right before E3?). The timelines don't fit at all. According to this guy, Nintendo's been working on revolution stuff way longer than they let on (which I doubt because they have been struggling to even get decent DS software pumping out and they are holding on to Gamecube development far longer than their competitors are stayiing with this gen).

Finally, he keeps saying we don't have to believe him but he goes out off his way to clarify his credibility as a developer from company X working on game Y staring character Z. Seriously, if he was privy to any sort of real sensitive info, both Nintendo, and the company he's currently working at would be after him. Talk about burning bridges.

And Silicon Knights didn't make Beyond Good and Evil :P
 
I'd like to believe that some of this is true. Would be great if it is. But even if it is all BS, I'm even more excited about E3 now.
 
Thanks Amir. Don't know what us Lazy asses would do without you.

A lot of it makes me want it to be true but part of it makes me whish it was bullshit like the no DVD playback. Revolution needs every advantage in the book for buyers to even think about buying a new Nintendo home console.

I'm indifferent, I just really want E3 to be here already!
 
No holograms == bullshit.


*thumbs down*
 
I'd have full trust in Retro to make an action FPS that would be better than Halo. If anyone can do it it'd be them. And if Metroid Prime is any indication, it seems like they could do it quite easily.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, the flow of Metroid Prime is football field lengths apart from the flow of Halo 2. Similarly, Metroid Prime 2's attempt at multiplayer was shoddy and severely underwhelming, which is one of the main appealing aspects of Halo 1/2.

But hey, I agree with you... Retro'd be the one I go to if anyone can do it.

Gyroscopic control will be really revolutionary for games indeed. It can replace the second analog stick in all games leaving full space te reach more buttons with your left thumb.
 
You know, if the controller is wireless, gives off heat, AND rumbles... I can see myself playing from my bed a lot more next generation.

:D

Nintendo and Fleshlight team up for sexual Revolution!

Combining the lifelike fake vagina that is the Fleshlight with Nintendo's amazing next generation controller will bring about a real Revolution, sources say. A sexy Revolution.

Using a unique gyroscopic control, the Revolution's controller can detect the yaw and thrust of the user. It then uses this information to determine the proper ammount of Force Feedback, provided by the rumble motor, to give the user. The device can also heat itself, provideding a realistic warmth sensation. Lastly, the state-of-the-art voice recognition technology can sense the user's breathing patterns to speed up the pleasure. All of this, and a fake but real feeling vagina are enclosed in a discreet flashlight-shaped canster!



I know that joke took too much thought because I got tired of it halfway through writing it... :lol
 
I think it's BS. As someone else mentioned he "knows" too much. He's seen 7 of Nintendo's own revolution games? Yeah, right :lol

I think he'll be having a jolly good laugh at the disappointment of those who swallowed all this come E3. It's best just to set your expectations low, regarding all the systems, imo. At least that way most things should be a pleasant surprise.
 
Guys, its fake. When he was called out by that Brooke guy, he admitted to working for a Bank and did all of this because he was bored.

"Second off, you aren’t a developer. Because if you were a developer, your IP for most of your posts wouldn’t be coming from “Fifth Third National Bank.” You are making up these stories try to wet these people’s appetite. Too bad your little stories aren’t up on IGN. First off, you claim to be a third party developer. Not even Rareware or Silicon Knights knew about all of the projects that Nintendo had in development for GameCube. Realize something. There is a reason IGN posted my story.
Let me tell you why IGNCube posted my story. Because there is going to be a followup story on Friday. Sorry to grill up your perfect little fairy tales, “Aeris”. Now go back to working at your bank. "
 
That wasn't the real Brooke that called him out, and it wasn't the real Areis that admited to being called out. They were both the same person making it look as if Aries had been outed, and then admiting to it.
 
"Fifth Third National Bank??" :lol

That sounds even more fake than the Revolution info.
