[QUOTE="sabaal"] [QUOTE="klusps"]4x better than the GCOemenia


Which is what?
What number is being multiplied by four?

A souped up XBOX basically, but now there are saying its 2 from 3, it was never 4. Their arguement is that the controller will open doors to new innovative types of games, not just prettier ones. Nintendo fails to realise that as raw power increases, the more potential for larger more complex games, underpower hardware does not allow this...


I hate to break it to you, but "Xbox" is not a number. 2 to 3 times an Xbox is simply 2 or 3 Xboxes, not a measure of power. You can't multiply something that isn't a number and expect to get a number out of it.

They won't be nearly as high quality as Xbox 360 and Playstation 3's graphical capabilities, but they will still look pretty smooth nonetheless. On the Rev, the games won't use as many pixels in their graphics as other next-gen systems, but in order to make this happen, several of the better details and visuals found on the xbox 360 and PS3 won't be seen on the Revolution. They are basically taking out some of the larger enviroments and larger details just so the games won't have to use as many pixels as others.

... What?
Umm... that's about the opposite of how it works. Using larger, more detailed environments requires more processing power, which puts limitations on framerate and resolution. As one goes up, the other goes down.

On SD and ED screens, I expect the Revolution to surpass the PS3 in graphical quality, and come up pretty close to the Xbox360. On HD screens, of course, it will be visibly behind both of them, but that's not going to make much difference if you're actually playing the game, instead of watching it like so many developers seem to want.

Alright, let's try to get this damn thing straight here. When someone says "2 to 3 times better than whatever", what are they referring to? If you glue 2 or 3 Gamecubes together, they aren't going to work any better than before, so this random "2 to 3 times" number doesn't mean a damn thing. What exactly are you multiplying by 2 to 3 times? The polycount? GPU bandwidth? Ops/sec?

You can't just make up a number and use it to multiply something that isn't numerical in the first place. That's like saying that "GIF images are 9 times better than PNG images." It just doesn't make any sense, and it needs to stop.

On a graphics scale:

PS3 < REV < 360

Don't you love unfounded speculation?

I don't know, how about if Nintendo bought out Microsoft?JoshXXXXX

That's about as likely as me buying 48 HDTVs and building a monitor array to play Unreal Tournament on.

Microsoft and Nintendo are really the only ones in the industry I can respect. I suppose it would be all right if they became one, but I'd much rather Sony die off without that happening, so we still have healthy competition between the two. If MS an Nintendo were together, Sony would be obliterated, and we'd have another price-rising monopoly on our hands, which is bad for everyone.

I say they should bring in one of the new Bounty Hunters from the upcoming Metroid Prime Hunters game

CRAZIE_GUY

Wow, that's actually a pretty cool idea. :D
Personally, I'd like to see Dark Samus. Not Samus's Dark Suit, but the phazon-obsessed doppleganger she fights in Echoes. She'd kinda float around, like Mewtwo, and be much faster than Samus. But she'd take double damage from non-energy attacks, and her own moves would be re-worked to keep her from looking like a clone.

Wait... is it right to call Dark Samus a "she"? :|

Earthbound, hands down. Unless they were planning a new one; then I'd save the money to put towards that.
