First revolution game screens to be revealed before E3.

I d have to go with saying that the images look like concept art more than anything else. Not that the polygonic models or the effects are anything special, but the lighting seems more than what one would expect from the revolution, in the light of recent comments by ign mentioning the lack of any new shaders etc. Anyone that thinks otherwise, I would like to hear their version though ^_^

 

They are confirmed as target renders, you can expect more 'leaks' in the near future too.

 

Source, please.

 

Yeah, they where also big fans of rice crispeys, so its all about it too.


Nayway, No mather if its render or not, im pretty spyched up now, the gameplay seems to push the barrier of immersion in video games further, wich is an excellent thing.

 

cant wait to pistol whip with the controller Goodfellas style.

 

can't wait to beat some poor animal with a stick (virtually), or play a pinata game.. (let's hope no one actually does those)

 

Get the analog for some nunchaku action:lol:

 

Hey Casual, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just becasue the action on screen mocks the gestures you make with the controller doesn't mean anything. Seems to me the whole game-violence thing is one of those issues the news brings up whenever they need to fill time- not enough car chases or terrorist attacks going on? Let's to a story about evil video games. Like that asshole with the Need For Speed article said, it sells papers.

We all get afraid that some law is gonna get passed that will make all games suck ass (akin to the comics code in the 1950s say.) But they never do that, do they? That might have happened in the 70s when games were still a fad, but now the industry is gigantic, it makes too much money to let politicians legislate away all the sex and violence.

 

Have you had your head in the sand? Just about every couple of weeks a new state tries to institute some form of arcane "won't somebody think of the children" game restriction act. These are laws punishable by excessive fines and obscene amounts of jailtime (typically for the retailer who accidently sells one of the "evil" games) passed by the state legislature and signed by the governor. So far, every act has been deemed unconstitutional, but it is only a matter of time before one of them slips through or some idiot in Congress (i.e. Clinton and Lieberman) decides to attach an adendum to a "must-pass" bill.

 

About the Manson thing. "no no and a big NO" Manson has nothing to do with it, heck you could also blame Doom , and Quake of such things. So please stop throwing the guilt away from the facts.
That the two wackos did it on their own.

 

It's what I've heard from someone. I can't really give a source, but he is rarely wrong.

I'll gladly take back what I've said when I am proven wrong, but we'll see.

 

I think he was joking.

 

Some interesting comments about GTA, violence etc. I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't allow GTA on the Rev (I think Sony would have bigger issues), there is already a GTA game for the GBA, and the original game was planned for an N64 release. Ok, they are top down, but still the same concept.

This actually sounds like the ideal strategy for Nintendo. Many people see them as "kiddie", "baby games" etc, and this would help to sway people in their favour. But they still have the family friendly edge, with family games, and remember Nintendo were quick to stress the Revolution would have parental controls.

After all, not everyone in a family wants family games if you see what I mean, so I don't see a problem.

 

I've never seen a "kiddie" or "adult" DVD or VHS player, so why won't people just lay off the crap and actually control their own families when it comes to buying software? Would you allow your kids to watch Hellraiser? how about Seven? or even Pulp Fiction?

There are tons of games that can be potentialy adult themed but that doesn't mean everything is for everyone. There has to be a variety, and banning games for their concepts is as bad as banning movies for theirs. The interactivity argument is moot since it is the theme that sets your mind and puts one "in" the movie or the game.

As an adult, yea, every once in a while i d like to kill and rip heads off in a mortal kombat game (the old ones mind you) for whatever reason I see that to be fit, in the same way I'd watch a brutal movie. Next day I might wanna play Super Mario 64 or Kirby.

Just because we like movies, doesn't mean we don't like cartoons for example. I d gladly watch any anime or cartoon as long as its worth it, no matter the theme.

I think it's time to stop blamming video games and trying to regulate a sector that shares the same moral boundries with movies on a private media player (i.e a video player, DVD etc). Man, even pornography has it's fans, so if someone wants to make a game revolving around that subject, they should be free to do so.

Next time parents complain about games, they better get their lazy ass off the chair and see what the game is actually about before giving the money or allowing the kid to buy it, in the same manner that you wouldn't want a Penthouse magazine laying in the house getting in the wrong hands.

 

Yeah I know that, pal, but the parents from columbine said marilyn manson was guilty for his "influences" over the two wackos.

Obviously thats an excuse: violente games, movies and music dont do shit on kids. Shit, I had a lot of goth kids in my school, and their were all pussies, no way in hell they could take a rifle and shoot everybody.

The real problem is the lack of discipline: have you ever went inside an american public school? man, the anarchy inside can only be compared to a prison. The only difference is that you wont end up being raped.

 

I don't see the big problem with the recent legal measures to stop kids buying violent games. It's a good idea IMO.

It's not like they are banning anything. Games like GTA should be restricted to adults, just like extreme movies.

 

Well, this went a little off topic...

Anyone have an updated estimated release date for the Revolution?

 

The biggest irony of this is that revo may end up being bought only by hardcore gamers that are 25 or 30 and even older.

Kids want violent games and movies, thats a fact. My dad bought a GC to my little cousin last year and the litle fucker sold it for 2 GTA games.

 

exactly.

Around november seems to be the official unofficial date, but there's a rumor going on about a summer release.

 

is rumor going on about a 10/1/2006 release.
