Had no idea this was being streamed. Pumped for 1am central time!antonz said:
I think they'll try. They'll have to succeed at guessing how far forward MS/Sony plan on going in terms of horsepower and at guessing what range of downgrading developers are willing to tolerate/provide for. Devs will be looking for the degree of ease in downgrading their wares to fit the platform. That is, unless this 1-2 year lead cements N6 as lead platform for the generation (which would be astonishing), then they'll be looking at the upgrade factor.Pyrokai said:
Who the heck knows what we'll get from this? It's crazy Nintendo land.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe I've ever heard a single kind word from Epic regarding Nintendo. But hey, they're in the business of making money just like everyone else. If the system can handle a respectable (reasonably complete) version of the engine, they'd be crazy not to open it up for use.
On a related note, I really hope IGN is right about Retro being hard at work on an N6 engine.
the latest engine preview from Epic is going to have to go through alarge amount of optimization and downgrading for it to be practical. The fact it takes 3 of the most powerful single GPU graphics cards on the market right now means its not practical. $1500 dollars worth of consumer GPU.Pyrokai said:
Yep and the fact the next upgrade to UE is as beefy as it is UE3 is here to be used for many more years to come. SO the fact Nintendo will be launching a device more capable than current machines UE3 is a given for Nintendo.M74 said:
Epic doesnt have alot of nice things to sya about Nintendo but they have made it clear Nintendo puts out hardware that can use their stuff and it will go there.
If it looks like its supposed to be some Official Nintendo documentation then yes its been seen and most likely fake-PXG- said:

This is just a cleaner version of the inverted colors picture poster's idea, so credit to him, can't find the post now!
Choosing to assume 6" diagonal screen is devkit only!
Looking at it now, those analog triggers wouldn't be able to move .. shit

I hope Nintendo learns from their mistake with the 3DS and launches their next console with a strong AAA title. Preferably a new Mario thats like Super Mario 64.

Likely diagonal, as that's how such things are measured. in other words, depending on the screen:
4:3: 4.83" x 3.55"
16:9: 5.23" x 3.94"

Will definetely keep my eye on this.
Hopefully it is way more powerful then the 360.
Being slightly more powerful then the 360 , 5 years later is pathetic.
If it is indeed on par with the 360 or only slightly better I will skip this.
This is the same reason why I will not purchase a 3ds.

3"X2" doesn't produce a 6" diagonal. Think about a 3,4,5 triangle.... a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
sqrt(9+4) = 3.something
not to be an ass but...
I do like that mockup though, that covers the motion base as well.
Edit: Oh, your saying that there isn't a 6" screen... my bad.

yea thats fine. It worked for Sony with the ps2 (believe it or not SSX was the consoles original system seller).
I hope Tuesday comes and none of the controller speculation is true.
I personally don't want to be looking down and up, back and forth, from TV screen to a controller. My admittedly limited imagination cannot think of anything that would play better with such a setup. I don't want developers to replace mundane actions with mundane minigames and move important information (like in-game maps) to an awkward place.

There is a reason. Nintendo either needs quality third party support or Nintendo needs to fill their own software gaps. I think Nintendo needs to do both. The hardware can be the second coming but that means nothing if it does not have the games people want. . Nintendo's current output of games does not appeal to the FPS, horror, or western rpg crowd. They can't just rely on those games from third parties. Nintendo needs to outsouce such games or make them with one to their 1st/2nd party teams.
Where did you hear that it was going to be streamed? That's pretty awesome if true. I imagine andriasang will be liveblogging the presser.antonz said:
Was this on the podcast or..? Thinking about how Retro made the GCN shine with MP1.. it'd be nice to see Retro develop a killer engine that will be available to other devs.M74 said:

That's not much of a challenge either, the challenge would be in holding it, storing it, pretty much doing anything with it other than using it as a blunt force object

Man, you went to town on the rough concept =) . Looks good.
To everyone complaining that the screen isn't 6 inches, the remote could just be made longer but that would make a huge controller; aesthetically it looks better like this,

Haha yeah, I don't think they'll be able to make a 6" screen with a layout like that, it's just not practical.

I really have no idea of what it might look like, but if it truly has a 6" screen with controller inputs, I wonder if it could resemble this somewhat?
Hey, found some fake looking pictures (shitty angle and sort of blurry, sort of reminds me of those e3 fake leaks), just wondering what the game they used for the four controllers is, they look sort of familiar but I can't place my finger on them. Also if in the unlikely event that they're not fake and actually are scans then woops.

Remember that time between April->E3 2010 when we speculated about what the 3DS would look like? This thread is like de ja vu of that thread.
