well ponuh they have 480p support for the games. And also those sources aren't comfirmed. I don't think they are real. Because umm if so the revolution will be just like 2-4% weaker then the original xbox.

THats horrible lol. I'm pushing the for revolution though and i'm gonna get one. But hope fully those aren't real .

They're real. It's from IGN, which is definately respected.

If you want graphics, definately save your money for PS3 because that thing is going to be a monster. Also it has a controller that doubles as a double-headed dildo.

Rev news is always very slim and nintendo NEVER releases real specs, what you see here is all rumors and should be taken as so.

regardless nintendo rev will be retro fun and it wont cost 1 million bucks

Read the article again ponuh lol. They got it from a "source" Nothing is confirmed. I won't jump the gun yet and assume that.

This will either make or break nintendo in the console wars btw. I can honestly see them ( if it fails) to focus primaryly on the ds and other portable projects

i could care less about specs, im still getting one

They have revolutions lol.

Ponuh did you know that what the kits actually are? They're gamecubes fitted with support extentions for the new controller lol.

So basically the first waves of games have been built around gamecube specs. Just pray with me this story isn't completely true. Because a revolution shouldn't be matching the specs of a xbox. Thats kinda scary.

Ok Mikey if you don't think this is true, delete the thread lol.

Tschus!

Just pray with me its not that weak lol.

I understand they want to keep things cheap but at least break the 1.ghz barrier lol.

Its almost like they are trying to stay within the same generation.

You should have read the part of the article where the guy explained that that was nintendo's plan.

i bet the games wont even look that much worse though than 360 or ps3

I really dislike the idea that it might not include HD. Does it kill me? Nope. I understand what nintendo is doing. I think the percentage of Gamers who have HD TVs is like (er was when this poll was done) is like 2%. Of those people who have an HD TV not all of them even bother hooking up the system to the HD component. Remember that not all TVs have more than one HD-Component\HDMI\DVI slot free. My last TV had one HD spot and I used that for my HD-Cable.


Still, at the end of the day we need to remember that the only thing we can believe is official press releases from Nintendo of Japan or Nintendo of America. That goes for all good and bad news.

If they don't support HD at all it will be a problem. In the next few years more and more people will have HD sets and will be taking advantage of it on their Xbox360 and PS3 and if Revolution doesn't support it, then that will suck ass. Revolution doesn't need to have better than 360 graphics, but it should be better than regular Xbox... If it is the same as current gen then alot of people just will ignore it. Hell the regular Xbox supports HD lol.

PS2 even supports HD. I think theres like 1 or 2 1080i games lol.


GCN has a mini version of HD with most nintendo made games supporting 480p (not really HD, but it is progressive scan and thats a little step up).


I do agree with you eternus, its gonna suck hard if it doesnt get HD.

thats whats killing me eternus. If the processor and graphics processor, are gonna roughly equal an original xbox. Nintendo is going to be far left behind. I'm sorry but every fucking time nintendo has made a new system, they've continued to say ohh we're gonna work hard to get third party support. Now they are cutting off any remote likeness to the other systems. Meaning no multiple versions of games crossing the systems. EA will probably just do sports games IF that. If nintendo thinks by doing this they'll get more exclusive projects from third party companies. What it will do is create low budget up and coming developers, making more kiddie games. They need to reconsider what they're considering good business practices

yeah the problem with these specs (should they be true) is that once again nintendo is going to be plauged with the exact same problem since the N64.


Lack of 3rd party support.

and if nintendo really really wants to fix they're troubles with the console market like the failure that is gamecube ( yes i said it, because to an extent it is) they need the help of third party companis like namco , square, konami and others. One problem also lies. Since the big companies are going to be spending so much money developing games for these new systems, wasting big money and resources. They aren't going to have as much free cash to make big budget for the revolution which again pushes towards budget centered projects.

Revolution shouldn't be cheapend it should be praised for its invovations. SOmething the present market has no idea what that is. Btw ea spokesperson speaking to a group of game developers telling them we need to seek new IP's with fresh new ideas and such was so funny lol.

Missed the first post, but I like the vampire bunny.

I've been a Nintendo fan since NES came out when I was like...7, so I'm gonna buy a Revolution reguardless. I will be happy if the graphics are a little better than Gamecube (and I like Gamecube). I don't play on HDTV so I won't get the most out of any new system anyways. Also i'm actually excited to use the new controller

_________________

Note: hardware analysis along with comparisons to the Gamecube's specialized architecture has put the true power of these specs somewhere between 1.5 and 2x the power of the original X-box. The clock speeds are similar, but also don't mean anything; take a look at Intel vs. AMD processors. The GC was numerically far weaker than the X-box, but had essentially identical results.

As to the HD support, whatever. For the most part, anyone who gives a rat's ass about HD support is the kind of hardcore PS2/XBX gamer than Nintendo really doesn't stand too much of a chance with anyway. Current HD penetration is low, and among those who actually have it, only like 30% are watching a TRUE HD signal anyway. Nintendo doesn't care about super-shiny-pretty-graphics, so get it through your heads that if you want HD support, that's what the other two systems are for. Nintendo doesn't want to compete.

While the people have a right to know, IGN should have kept their mouths shut. These specs sort of killed Nintendo's momentum going into E3, most likely for no good reason, since I'm still confident there won't be a huge difference between the Revolution and current XBX360 games.

That's what my original post said, basically. That they're not aiming to compete directly. They're in essence making a niche market.

I dont have HD
so i dont care lol
