Contrary to rumours suggesting the Revolution would be a no-show at this year's E3, Nintendo today revealed a prototype of the next-gen console.
Revolution to play NES, SNES, N64 and Cube games!

WHAT!?!?!??! you didnt show off teh l337 Xbox 360! I dunno I watched the press confrences and all the details and I think im going to get axbox 360 first. and damn ps3 and x360 are all faster than my computer so either way Im happy.
-
Heh, I had already reported on the 360 in another post :)
Xbox release estimated Spring 2006, PS3 estimated Christmas 2005.
-
Whoa, go watch the Press Cons again, you got that backwards Ket. Xbox 360 is this year, PS3 and Revo is next year.
-
lol yeah you are right, dates the wrong way around... I've been getting uber-excited at the PS3!
-
The Xbox 360 is coming out November 2005 and PS3 Spring 2006. Im all for waiting!!
-

-
Guys, I don't give a s**t if the specs are slightly better, the Xbox 360 still does 3 trillion calculations per second, which is about 3 or 4 million times faster than my pc. And anyway, any large brand name that the PS has, Xbox has bought the rights to use. FFXI is coming out on Xbox 360, and MGS4, etc. I don't really want a crappy Sony console when I can get a Microsoft Media PC that DOUBLES up as a console. I mean, have you even seen the Ghost Recon 3 and Gears of War trailers?
-
MGS4 is only coming out to the PS3. IGN did an article with the creator and he said his loyalty is to Sony. Maybe in the near future they will do it like GTA but as a title that releases at the same time as the PS3 version no. The Killzone and Devil May Cry trailers for the PS3 are all it took i held out to see which would catch my eye more and in the end i can never go wrong with PS3. Which ever way anyone goes this is a great age in gaming coming up and i look forward to being apart of it.
-
In terms of appearance, the PS3 and Xbox360 are both ugly. The Rev is freakin' beautiful.
On performance, they all look to be pretty damn powerful. I know I'll be getting a PS3, and I may spring for a Rev.
-
ajax dude. im sorry man. the PS3's specs put it a generation ahead of the xbox. even the PC market is going to have a hard time catching up to that kind of technology this time around. i love the xbox just as much as the next guy, but those numbers make the hardware monkey in me drool with delight. ill tell you one thing tho, im springing for a 360 @ launch. i have been waiting for Perfect Dark Zero since the gamecube announced it as a launch title. GAWD!!!!! FUCK HALO!!
-
the 360 is about 10x better than PC specs (in context).
The PS3 is 20x better.
Further, it is well known that Sony have well dominated the market. To help them along with this, PS3 will be backwards compatible, whereas the 360 wont be, I hear.
Where you might prefer XB games just now, there are still more titles available on PS, which will always give a better result, I guess.
-
well theres an argument about that, cuz Microsoft said something to the extent of "yes, our best-selling XBox titles will be playable on the 360." that seems to denote PARTIAL backwards compatibility, so i dunno. we'll just have to wait and see. but yeah im stoked about all 3 conosoles, and will probably be getting all 3 at some point or another. 360 @ launch for sure tho.
-
I'm not a big console fan, though that PS3 sounds sooo nice.
It's almost equivalent to my custom build comp i'm using now... It would probably run things better considering the application it's created and used for.
-
PS3 WILL be better then 360.....for sure.....Revolution I dont know enough about to say yet.....
-
I watched all three companie's conferences in which they all explained their new systems. I also got to see some cool demos for them (except the revolution, as it's still not finished). The PS3's graphics made me go "Oh my god! THAT isn't a real person!?" the graphics are the most powerful in the world with the RSX GPU. as a sample, they took a clip from spiderman 2 and instead of using the movies origional rendered graphics (whichs takes hours upon hours to compile and decode on supercomputers) they ran the exact same scene using the PS3's graphics and it was EXTREMELY difficult to notice a difference! In the conference they announced the PS3 to be released in spring 2006. Oh yes..... 7 PLAYERS!!!
The Xbox 360 will still look spectacular (way better than the best comp out there right now) and has an amazing customizable UI. It will be the only console to make it to winter this year. In the conference they focused mainly on Xbox Live, they will be making it with more options to appeal to every type of gamer. They are putting a lot of the resources into this so it becomes easier for you to 'connect' to the world, playing with friends, people you don't know that are casual gamers, or hardcore.
The Nintendo convention mainly focused on their power over the handheld entertainment world. They reviewed how the Nintendo DS is doing. They DID show off the Nintendo revolution, but the box they showed is a "prototype"..... The final size they are trying to get is a console about the size of 3 CD cases stacked together (freakin small!). The main attraction for this console is the ability to play ANY nintendo game to ever come into existance! even the NES games will run on the revolution! They did not announce a release date so we may have to wait yet another year for this revolution.
With that said.... all consoles look amazing, they will all be backwards compatible. and will all have wireless controllers.
-
I think the Nintendo will do well since it takes the old carts too! A lot of old hardcore Nintendo people will get this I think, so probably do better than the N64. However, Nintendo's bad results show what Microsoft have to go through to be a success. MS do make good games (Flight sims are always top notch by the looks), but of course are notorious for being dodgey and the devil.
Sony haven't done any let downs. Don't get me wrong, things like burnout3 are fantastic, but Sony gets it every time for me.... just now.
I hate FPS games on consoles... need keyboard and mouse any day.
RPG's and other 3rd person GTA types are great on the pad tho.
I rarely have time for em these days.
-
The Revolution will allow you to play games from NES by downloading them. This is amazing and i might have to pick one of these up with my PS3.
-
Xbox might be able to play for a while since it comes out first, but after that it's all downhill. The machine might be great, but the support just isn't there. It's unfortunate that Microsoft bought Rare and a few other companies, but hey, thats what M$ does. When they can't compete, they throw money at everything and hope for the best. Too bad for them they won't be this time.
I have no doubt that the PS3 will not disappoint. The specs on that thing are by far the most advanced of the three. Couple that with the party support of many reputable companies and you have a solid and nigh unbeatable powerhouse. There's nothing more I can say here.
Revolution has the retro gamer thing going on, but it also has a built in wireless online connection. I don't know how they're doing it, but its supposedly ready to take online right out of the box. Now I'm not sure on this but I THINK you can play online with the NES, SNES, N64, and GC games as well. And finally, I have no idea about this one, but they are saying that there is a "surprise" that they arent revealing until launch.
Oh, and I have four words:
Super Smash Bros. Online
-
I have a few more to add to that.
Launch Date, out of the box, and FREE.
-
PS3 takes xbox and revolution "to pwn castle" - Orien. Peace out
-
PS3 takes xbox and revolution "to pwn castle" - Orien. Peace out
Words right out of my mouth.

the thing that sucks about rev is that you have to download all the old games since you dont use your old carts the reason that sucks is that even though you already got the game you got to pay for it again. to me the ps3 is just a more uber version of ps2 same stuff better graphics where the x360 has all the cool bells and whistles added and now free xbox live but if you do pay you get even more stuff so let me point this out there also for xbox360 "free online out of box". LONG LIVE XBOX 360!!!11one!
-
Powers up!!! Nooo PS3 will take control.
-
Long live PCs! Mouse and keyboard own you all!
-
the PS3 is the best. my E3 mate told me, so shove that up your ass bill.
-
Well So will Sony Be Free online, And Maybe The Rev but if that you can say about the 360 is Free Xbox Live then it is dead already.
-
PS3 will dominate all.....it even is wireless....WIRELESS!!! hell yah, the PS3 is definitely worth the extra wait. and besides, the Xbox 360 is being rushed into the market way too early because i still think there needs to be better specs in the system than what it has on it now. By the time the PS3 hits the shelves, the Xbox 360 will be like comparing the PS2 to a N64......The Xbox will be hot until the PS3 hits, then its all hell from there for the Xbox 360......it's a fact, simple as that....
-
Bitches, quit your arguing.
The point is, all these new consoles are droolworthy and pwn in some way or another.
*drools*
-
ahh i guess ill take the time to make a constructive post later on but right now i want to point out some things. Ice: all the next gen consoles are wireless even nintendo's. Rorin: sony hasnt annouced anything for their online play heck i dont even think they have said that it will be online it is just assumed. and the nintendo is going to have a paid online service that is how you get all the downloaded content etc. but they may for the rev i know they will for the DS have a free mulitplay online service. Nintendo is looking into making a xbox live type service. Tbone: yes the PC does own all to bad the PS3 and X360 are all better than my pc. Everyone in general: all details on the consoles including their specs are all what they want to put into them. Now the cell chip in the PS3 isnt even finished yet. Just because what they announced now isnt neccisairly what is going to be in the retail product. Bit i read today that thier was some japenese article in a newspaper saying that PS3 may cost about $500 american dollars which is about 50,000 yen. Now it may seem like I am anti playstation but Im not i love my xbox and playstation equaly I just havent exposed my anti xbox side yet mostly because I havent found stratight up reasons to hate the next gen yet.
I may need to come back and edit this because i typed it in one whole string. So dont use any points i made against my case :)
-
Here's a bunch of names in the faction that i would like to point out. I will update this with more names as soon as i can think up some. Since im brain-dead while tryping this out, i cant clearly thinkkk..im so tired... :| zzzzzzzzzzz...
Khr0n1k: No, the PC will suk compared to the PS3, which will own alll...MUAWAHAHAHA...HEHEHEHE...HAHAHAHA
MidnightMeadows: Here i am bitchin again, so no, i wont stop bitchin.........WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D
Tbone: Long live the............PS3!!!!! And off with the PC's head!!!!!!!!!!! I mean moniter!!!!!!!!!!!!
Orien: Damn straight the PS3 will take control.........it'll take control of us all!!!
Ristan:...........................um.........................yes, all of the consoles have amazing graphics..........but LONG LIVE THE PLAYSTATION!!!!!!!!! 3!!!!!!!!!!!!
obviously, im mentally drained........oh my gosh.............my eyes........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
Your witty satire entertains me to no end, Ice.
Bravo.
</sarcasm>
-
To be honest, the gaming world has almost got to a stage when the graphics are so alike to real life that it is hard to tell the difference. I mean, look at the Unreal Tournament 2k7 movies on IGN. Looks like a cutscene, looks shit hot, but WAIT, its REALTIME! They pause the bloody movie, move it around, and THIS IS WHAT THE GAME WILL LOOK LIKE. It will be on ALL consoles, well, at least Xbox and PS, and so, with graphics like that, I frankly, couldn't care less about a bit more power, or a bit less power. It will all play the same.
-
Im Getting the PS3 For Sure...
-
I have only seen ONE vid from Revolution and that was Metroid 3.....it looked pretty but not as good as PS3 games have looked. Now that was only one game so I cant say if PS3 will beat the Revolution. However from what I have seen so far it seems this is how it will be in the end:
1. PS3
2. X360
3. Revolution
Now dont get me wrong....im a BIG Nintendo fanboy....and I hope the Rev can kick Xbox's ass but who knows as of right now what will be better since there is not enough vids out for revolution yet...I think either way the PS3 will pwn them all.....even with me being a Nintendo fanboy...
-
The PS3 is designed to take over our lives until the light of day burns at our skins and we become golums.
