I know Deepblues probably going to call me some Nintendo corporate shill or something for this, but IMO it's still relevant in context of his posting of those old Metroid shots.

Anyways, they are scans, so hard to be 100% clear... well, make your own minds up.  Looks like it shows the control method, though - point and shoot.  Oh, and of course bear in mind that a) it's a more harnessable architcture than the Ps3/360 (i.e. more ability to use its strengths earlier) and b) it's not at high-def, whilst judging.  I think that's all the required caveats.

Cool.
Almost looks like FPS's will be fed via the laser pointer like thingy. Cool.
All hail duck hunt!

Damn you. I was going to post this...

And BTW, that was completely unnecessary.

Anyway, I'm definitely going to purchase one after seeing this, for the ability to manipulate the way I hold things.

...and they look as good as anything on the 360. My hat's off to Nintendo.

[aldo_14]

I'm hoping, though, that it's not something like an Operation Wolf clone and you can actually move, because otherwise it'd be a bit ****.

[Grug]

I want a new Yoshi game.

...

A. You mean Ubisoft.

B. You can't judge that from mag scans.

C. If you could, GRAW definitely looks better even so. But the Revolution has never been about graphics.

Didn't you use to post blurry pictures and video from TVs at stuff like E3 for various X-box360 games?  I distinctly remember a low res Gears of War video obviously done by camcorder.

So mag scans are suddenly better than a mid-res video? Vidoes are ALWAYS > screens, regardless of quality.

EDIT: They look about Riddick ++ quality in my estimation.

Well, not necessarily, because videos are blurred due to compression artifacts and movement, plus they tend to be as choreographed as selected screenshots (at least for press promo events), also are usually restricted to relatively lower resolutions and perhaps worse colour depth.  In any case, the point being that you've not had any qualms in presenting wip, 2nd-hand source, selected screens or videos as representative (and positive) for the 360 before its release, so I'm not sure what's wrong with it here, given that there's plenty of caveats specified and whatnot.

[Deepblue]

I didn't say it was wrong. I was merely saying it was moronic to jump to conclusions that are clearly wrong.

EDIT: I'm also curious as to what a larger-scale game will look like considering this game has tight environments based on the mag shots.

Why 'clearly'?  The implication there is that the Revolution must be worse than the Xbox360, but for no particular reason.  All Rictor said was that it looked as good as something on the 360, which is scarcely 'clearly wrong' given the caveats that - yes! - I put in the first post.  It's possibly wrong - the scans could be misleading - but not 'clearly'.

But of course, you can't have a far cheaper console being close to the 360, can you?  I mean, that'd make it competition... it's amazing; you show a sort of positive attitude, someone makes a not-even-derogatory remark concerning the 360, and the knives come out with Rictor being instantly 'clearly wrong' and a little throwaway 'look at this 360 game' type quote.  That just spoils it, I think.

[Rictor]

I agree that the Revolution is not about graphics. But it's nice to see that they are pushing next-generation graphics with specs roughly comparable to the XBOX 1. I wasn't trying to compare, because all three consoles are likely to have more or less similar graphical standards, but again, it's nice to see that Nintendo is keeping up with the curve..

[Deepblue]

"Ubi art touch-up in effect. Real game looks less good. Still excited."

Anyway, this looks like it could be tons of fun to play.

Calm the hell down. I saw some higher-res scans that show the graphics a little better as well as the above comment, which is why I think it is safe to say that it doesn't look quite as good as something like GRAW (as per Rictor's statement) but still looks damn good.

[Rictor]

Let's all be civil. I think that everyone can agree: it's not the system that matters, it's the games.

The only console I'm worried about it the PS3, being over a year late and more expensive than the competition.

I'll drink (orange juice that is) to that.

[StratComm]

The point is, there was no reason to make the comment in the first place.  One thread already locked over this today, I'm wondering if we'll go 2-for-2.

[aldo_14]

Orange juice?  Ya big saftie!

[Deepblue]

Chuck Norris ONLY drinks orange juice squeezed from his FISTS.
