Oh, Sony is going to have a single camera eye-toy shortly after launch. Though I have seen it in action and it is pretty darn impressive. They must have some newer software running it because even with one SD-resolution camera is picked up depth pretty darn well. It's not quite on the same par with ...

Mock Revolution controller review
Okay, I don't actually have the controller here, so I cannot comment about how it feels for gameplay. What I do have however is.... A remote.... however it's not just any remote, it's a basic Dish Network remote, which, is actually quite similer to shape to the Revolution controller. So I can commen...

Well, the most expensive period in development for a console is always the first year, year-n-a-half. Typically development costs go down drastically after they've bought the new machines and new staff neccesery to create those games. So the period after the first year should be more indicitive of t...

Next Gen Gaming Cost Claims, Bogus?
For awhile gaming companies have been claiming that game development costs could go through the roof, that some titles could cost more then 10 million dollars to develop. However, CESA has gathered voluntary information from publishers on current gen gaming development costs, and it just doesn't add...

Well, problem is that enemies arn't going to have that same handicap. They'll be able to run and shoot at the same problem easily. Okay, yes, this system is sticking to the duel system, however the Spacial Mouse is so much more intuitive for this situation that it should be a lot easier. Anyhow, I d...

actually that'd be fairly easy to pull off. Might not even need sensor bands. Take 2-3 Eye-Toys, place 1 on each side of the TV and possibly one to your side. And.... well... bingo The current Eye-Toy has a little problem with depth perception because it only has one camera. This set-up would handle...

Okay, still, there's only so much that this thing can triangulate and I suspect that if you throw all aspects of gameplay onto the one feature it'll go from simple to unnecceserilly complicated. So, for the sake of keeping the gameplay simple and straight forward, I would opt to use the buttons avai...

Um, actually, those sensors as far as I can tell are designed to only pick up the spectrum of light beamed out by the controllers. If that's the case then they wouldn't be able to pick up gestures and such as those are reflected at different wavelengths. I should also note, adding camera's that can ...

Actually pointing down doesn't work either because there are many situations in FPS where you need to look downward. Actually, I should take a moment to explain how the rotational functions are likely to work. Press your scroll button.... go ahead do it.... No I'm not being pretentious some people d...

Pointing off the screen won't work because as far as I can tell, pointing off the screen is how you'll be rotating left/right up/down Making an upward motion is something I've thought about, and a few people as I discussed it in private, but we concluded that it'd be highly error prone if only becau...

Er, first off, i'm not talking about a PC. Second, while a controller is superior for many genre's and game types, for PC First Person Shooters, a mouse is probably a better choice due to the increased accuracy in the aim function. Now, the Revolution controller is just a 3D Spatial Mouse with a til...

Okay, after looking at the mock-up of the light-gun extension for this controller, I concluded that for FPS, that's going to be the best ergononic shape available. However, some friends and mine concluded that even with the Analog extension the A button will be neccesery to reload ammunition with, a...

Not entirly speculation, even in the pictures and video's you can clearly see people extending thier wrists in a way that is likely to become uncomfortable after awhile. I'm hoping that they throw in a slight curve to solve this problem but.... based on everything I've seen I kinda doubt it. Though ...

Well, I applaud Nintendo on getting an potentially ground breaking controller built. However I believe that the remote shape is.... a mistake. Here's the problem. Yes, it is a shape that's less, frieghtening to some people. Though not all, I should note that both my father and my grandmother tend to...

Actually they're talking about takes old games and remastering them. Such as, a Cel shaded Super Mario Bro's and such. These would still be distributed via Nintendo's virtual console store though. Yeah they are considering releasing some games from the Genesis. I was a big Genesis fan so that'd be e...
