I love how sponge have taken the moral high road. Because you guys have never seen a rumour and printed whole stories about it, have you? :lol Anyone else still waiting for their PS2 Outrun 2? ;)

LOL - best owl yet!!
 
people earlier where saying the text from that document matches the text configuration in a sony document, but i've been studying both of them and i don't see it.

the sony document is here

any similarities i have seen could be easily explained by random chance. i may be missing something though, but i counted lines and everything.

anyway, very real looking document, regardless.
 
This is from my fried. Please read it before you post owls ^^

The revolution of the Revolution?

TV - console - controller
accumulator - interface - internet - cube mapping - visor
revolution



"We invented the current way a console is played - in front of a television and holding a controller - but maybe that image will change." Iwata

>> Visor?


“It's very easy to copy.” Nintendo

>> Visor?


“Not just a portable, not just a console - it's exactly what we wanted in that it's the birth of a completely new platform.” Wada

>> Visor?


“You say you want a Revolution? Well, what we are working on may not have any direct relation to gameplay. It is a way of connecting the controller, the console, the TV and the internet. It is not what you are playing, but how you are playing.” Iwata

>> Visor?


The Nintendo Revolution is a "wireless console", which has 4 main pieces:
console - controller - accumulator - and a visor.

Why is the console so small?
Where is the new GameBoy (since over 5 years there is only the "Advance Generation")?
Why don't they take part at the battle of the horse power?
It's the revolution!

What is the revolution?
It is the fusion of a portable and stationary home console. No, even better: It is the fusion of a portable and a stationary entertainment system!

How is this possible?
The Revolution can connect to a TV and also to a visor. In addition, it has a accumulator - in form of a white / grey base.

Is this technically possible?
Yes, look at the PS2 and PSP. The PSP ist also called the portable PS2!
Nintendo has his Game Cube and as Matt (IGN) once said, Nintendo wanted to develop a portable GameCube.
Does Nintendo want to deliver horse power? No? So, why shouldn't this be possible?

This new revolutionary system would be also a revolution in the music and film business. Imagine you can watch movies everywhere in a new revolutionary way.
Nintendo said, they want to create a new market - as in the 80's with the NES? They would do it with this system!

"We really want to present our interface, the controller, with software AS A PACKAGE." Miyamoto

>> Only as "package" this new entertainment system would be a revolution, wouldn't it?


"Well, what we are working on MAY NOT HAVE ANY DIRECT RELATION TO GAMEPLAY. IT IS A WAY OF CONNECTING the controller, the console, the TV and the internet. It is not what you are playing, but how you are playing." Iwata

>> I've talked about a new way of connection, which hasn't a direct realtion to gameplay, haven't I?




So, think about it - I'm serious!

One for weapons and one for visors?

I agree its superfluous, though.

The PDF is fake for sure.. if you look closely at some of the obscured text, you can read it, and parts of it read like text straight out a game website.
 
Visor is so 2004...
2x something useless: YEAH!

Revolution will come with: 2-different color stands!
2 D-pads!
2 Av cables
2 Screens!
2 power buttons!
Expanding the definition of gaming:
2 DS's/Micro's needed for Multiplayer!
2 WIFI adaptors for Online gaming!

When you go to the gamestore: OMFG revolution 99 Dollars CHEAP!
OMFG Wifi out of the box = CHEAP
OMFG Controller pack in!= Cheap

Connect system at home: Please connect your Second Revolution Console!
Its the DUAL CORE SYSTEM!!

Its revolutionary!
 
That shit just reads like a "everything and the kitchen sink", and definitely does not jive with the whole 'simplicity for mass market success.'

Yeah and no...

to be able to play conventional games as Nintendo claims it can, it'd need the face buttons or suitable substitutes to do so. Gyro control, and high degrees of variable feedback (which might guide a player) would be very very simple though. They could have left it at that but decided speaker/mic, screen attachment and GBA/SD slots would make it more believable. Which isn't the case.

Again, I dunno why people do this.
 
And, uh, there's tons of grammatical errors.

It's not simplicity. If they DID do something like this - which I really don't even know why I'm speculating since it's fake - they deserve to lose. And that's as simple as it gets.
 
Well, you know... I mean... if that's a fake, it's... still a pretty good controller design.

Usually, fakes are kind of retarded, but all that stuff actually makes sense. Like, I'd like to have all that in a game system.

It could be a foriegn document translated by someone whose English isn't fantastic.

I'm not saying it's real, it's just that there's nothing jumping out at me that lets me say at this point that it's a definite fake.
 
It'd be fun if Sp*ng was ever right about anything they've ever posted.
Click to expand...

Fixed.

So in that PDF we're to believe that Nintendo would write "Use the finger, a metal disc, or stick to act"? These people just have way too much free time.

It just reads to me like someone said... "What if a controller had almost every functionality rumoured?" Eh... EH? Get to your drawing boards, Nfans!

Simplicity? No.
And it doesn't jive with Teddman's "it looks just like a Wavebird", 'cause of that lame Magnetic touch thingy on the front which is instantly distinguishable.
Lots of grammatical errors.
Nintendo never leaks shit.

I only see one feature I'd definitely want on a controller that's "different."

How about the microphone and speaker (because for some reason those would be the exact same device) being shown in the schematic on the opposite side of the controller that it is shown on in the first design study.

How about the "magnetic touch panel" being edited out in that same design study and not even listed amongst the other buttons and inputs?

1) Nobody ever said the controller was "simple."
2) This looks just like a Wavebird.
3) Could have been hastily translated from a foriegn tongue
4) The DS specs leaked before the official announcement.

The black line is on BOTH sides, and so maybe one of them's the speaker and the other's the microphone.

Again: it's very easy to fake things, and so there's a very big chance that this is fake. But the information's got to come out at SOME point, and this does jive with so much of what's been said: it has tilt sensors, microphone, touch input... all things that have come from pretty reliable sources.

I see nothing here that would make me 100% dismiss this as fake. That's all I'm saying. If somebody comes around and says "Ha ha, I made this, gotcha" then fine.
 
WTH is a "Loudspeaker"...
I guess this is made by someone from holland:
"luidspreker" Luid>Loud , Spreker> Speaker!
I smell Free translation!
 
PLEASE GOD MAKE IT STOP!!

I'm a nintendo fan , but I'm sick and tired of this Revolution nonsense.

Can't we ban the word revolution until something is official?

1) So all the comments about simplicity in games and controls going forward were just hot air meant to lead people in the wrong direction. Well that's not surprising! This would be, hands down, the most complex controller ever. People would be like "Do I tilt? Do I shove? Do I twist? Do I touch? Do I breathe?"
2) No it doesn't. It has a huge fucking magnetic touch screen in the center. If Teddman saw that and said "Wow, just like a Wavebird" we can now assume he's blind.
3) Yes, we know. However, I believe there is a 10% chance of it being the case. But who knows, Kobun! Unless you actually do know!
4) I can't confirm this, but I'm sure you're right. So we'll just insert the phrase 'almost never leaks shit.'
 
Nintendo would NEVER reveal anything about next-gen unless its on their home turf in Japan. They especially would never say anything in Europe of all places, where Nintendo probably doesn't care much about the market.

Actually that was one of the things that stood out to me when I first saw the pics. I thought back to what Teddman had said and realized the controller fits the description of what he saw.
 
whether it is fake or true...

I like the "localized" rumble idea and the speaker on the controller.

but would all this crap make the controllers expen$ive?

Not that I think this is real, but I believe others have mentioned that the controllers in the dev kits don't necessarily represent the final product. If you stripped the new features from the controller in the PDF, it would pretty much look like a Wavebird.

Yes, if you stripped the new features from the thing it would look like a Wavebird. And supposedly, Teddman only saw the "front". But, uh, I would think even for a dev kit a huge magnetic touch screen would be pretty important. But who knows! Again, I believe pretty firmly it's fake. I'd be angry if it's real so that's perhaps why I'm so convicted, but come on.

This is dumb. Everything is a new possible Revolution leak. Let's just wait until Nintendo actually reveals something for once.

Look at the first quote of the Sony document

Now, look at first part of the obscured text in the supposed Rev document.

It quite clearly says "Playstation: The first home-use game console to ship a cumulative 100 million units worldwide."

The rest of the article follows the Sony document exactly, as far as I can tell. That's proof enough thats its a complete fake.

Are we looking at different pictures? I'm just looking at the pics in this thread and I see nothing of the sort.
