Err... a lot of this stuff sounds awfully fanboyish.

The controller will be wireless; he’s right about that. As you also know, the Xbox 360’s controllers will be wireless as well. Where do you think they got this idea?

MS stole the idea of wireless controllers from Nintendo? :rolleyes:

Why play Madden on Xbox Live when you’ll be able to play it for free on the Revolution with much better services?

How would he know the services are going to be better? Sounds pretty much the same to me as he described it.

Microsoft is banking on stealing the show, but I think they will be upstaged by Nintendo as well as Sony. It’s going to be very funny to see them trying to get people excited about Perfect Dark 0 when both Nintendo and Sony will be showing off Halo killers.

So PDZ (which only the media have seen) automatically sucks in comparison to the "Halo killers" from Nintendo and Sony? I seriously doubt this is coming from a credible individual.

Like others have said, this is stuff anyone can make up. And didn't someone trace this guy's IP address to a bank?

Erhm IF this is true why should ms worry ? If sony and nintendo are making halo killers well ms already made that with halo 2 and from hwat i've heard perfect dark is going to be a great game too. Its hard to hit a moving target which is why gt 4 jump everyone else again and if the other publishers are making a gt4 killer than gt5 has nothing to worry about



Also Mordenkainen why do you post under 3 forum names ? Is there a reason why ?

Heh yes they are still targeting to beat a game which was released in 2001! :)... Just kidding.
 
Dr Evil, from the rest of his comments:

With the PS3, Sony is mixing sheer power and innovation. They are going to suprise some people at E3 as well. The PS3 is far more ahead in development than many think

He also says PS3 is on a different level of power to XBox 360 and even Revolution won't be close to it. As I said he says positive and negative things about Revolution/Nintendo. He also says good things about competing products. So its not pure Revolution hype. Anyway, whatever, I give up. Why can't people speculate on the actual ideas and content instead of wether its real or not?
 
Confidence-Man, later on he says

Last week some details about the game were on a gaming site. It mentioned that Perfect Dark 0 would support the largest online deathmatch battles ever seen in a console game. That is very good news. I said previously that Perfect Dark 0 is going to be one of the best games at E3. I stand by that statement. But, like I said, I feel Retro's FPS will be better

That guy wasn't traced to a bank either, that was someone else.

Who is Mordenkainen jvd??

MS stole this idea from nintendo? That doesn't sound like a reasonable thing to say.

The Nintendo Revolution will also include voice control more advanced than anything seen so far. Nintendogs is just the beginning. To achieve this, Nintendo sent us headsets (similar to ones you can use for Xbox Live) that are wirelessless communicating with the console. Imagine being able to merely call for an airstrike or reload your gun by giving out commands orally. So far, we have put this feature to the test the most; as you can see, I’m excited over this feature.

This isn't a new feature. MS implemented this in the xbox development software at least 2 years ago. I saw a demo from the a company where you could order troops around by voice through a headset, and it was on the xbox using the MS voice recognition software.

From a graphical perspective, the Nintendo Revolution is very powerful. Many people seem to think this won’t be the case, but rest assured. The games I saw while working at Nintendo were very beautiful. I’ll tell you about those later.

This sounds like he's juding it's power full base don what he saw, and not based on specs he would know. Doesn't sound kosher to me.

As Nintendo has stated before, the system will be online. In my eyes, the online system they have set up is the most revolutionary part of the system. While Sony and Microsoft are busy turning their systems into trojan horses for their other electronic devices, Nintendo is going to use the Revolution for direct communication with gamers. The only way I can describe it is as an internet service. Imagine turning it on and checking your mail on the system. You see previews and demos of DS and Revolution games that you can download. A magazine similar to Nintendo Power will be exclusive to the system, and you will be able to access it on the Revolution’s homepage. As you check you mail, you will also see various invitations from gamers on your buddy list who want to play you. There are so many other ways this is going to be used. Once the Revolution comes out, there will be no reason to hang out on message boards. Message boards as well as chat rooms will be available on the Revolution so that gamers can discuss and challenge each other all day. And the best thing is that the entire thing is totally free and easy to use. Why play Madden on Xbox Live when you’ll be able to play it for free on the Revolution with much better services?

Give me a break. The only thing there he listed that you can't do on xbox live, is read a magazine like nintendo power made by MS. MS has talked abotu downloadable demos and all sorts of similar things. he left out stuff like voice mail. this part of the post sounded extremly fanboyish. he's praising nintendo for doing things that were already invented and/or done before.

Based on this and other things in that post, I thinkit's 100% fake.
 
I've been advised not to bother arguing anymore at this point in the thread :LOL: So we'll just have to wait and see how real this is. Until then though feel free to actually speculate on some of the idea's brought up rather then arguing if they're real or not.
 
Those are all good ideas. Calling them revolutionary is a little over the top, they're just good ideas. I keep hoping Nintendo will come back really strong and start leading the industry again, but I keep getting dissapointed. Let's see if they can pull it off this time...
 
I like how he talks about voice commands thru the headset like thats revolutionary. I did the same thing 20 years ago on my Commodore 64 using a "lipstick" for the game Echelon. "fire fire fire" :D

The online sounds cool but I dont see how it would be free. Would be great if it is though.

Well if it has online service, which equals Live and is free, MS is in trouble.

Free, wireless, online...? even netzero costs money...

Uh I think you're missing the point. You will need to already have your own ISP to connect to this FREE online service for Revolution and DS.

Regarding the ideas, they're very interesting, but I have a hard time believing the temperature sensitive controller. That sounds like a safety hazard.
 
Sure, voice recognition has been used in the past, but their is certainly room (lots) for improvement in that area. So if Nintendo were doing something that could push that technology further it would certainly be a nice feature.
 
Wow, a game where you could order computer via voice commands. This would be quite refolutionary, if they also invented a time machine, gone back a few years and prevented this feature from beeing implemented in games like UT2004.
