No Unreal 3 Engine On Revolution >

 

According to Joystiq' date=' Epic VP Mark Rein was overheard saying that it would be hard to utilize the UE 3.0 without HD resolutions. He went on to say the we would probably not see the Unreal 3.0 engine on the Nintendo Revolution. Could Nintendo's non-HD decision be hurting them already?[/i']

Μή βιάζεσαι να βγάλεις συμπεράσματα φίλε xrest.

 

Στο link που μας έδωσε o Daredevil, υπάρχει update που εξηγεί πολύ σοφά τί συμβαίνει.

 

Παραθέτω:

 

UPDATE: To prevent further confusion, I'll attempt to clarify what I think Mr. Rein was saying. The process of porting UE3 games running in HD from platforms like PC, Xbox 360, or PS3 to the Revolution "won't be easy" and therefore, he suspects, won't be done. He elaborated that licensing Unreal Engine 3 for a Revolution game would probably be overkill, since Unreal Engine 2 is already capable of maxing out what they perceive the system to be capable of.

 

That being said, what about the streamlined scripting and animation tools bundled into Unreal Engine 3's Kismet? Wouldn't some developers gladly pay the increased licensing fees to work in a refined development environment that, according to Epic, could cut their development costs. Furthermore, some developers, like Midway, have purchased studio-wide licenses to develop all their next-gen titles with UE3, presumably their Revolution titles as well.

 

I think mocax got it right, "Epic's writes software graphics/game engines. Nintendo makes a machine that allows developers to deviate from Epic's core business. Any self-respecting profit-oriented corporation will twitch at Nintendo's disruption." I suspect we will see UE3 on some Revolution titles, but the idea is antithetical to Nintendo's stated ideology and thereby threatening to a company that makes their money selling eye candy.

 

Ο νοών νοείτο. Όλα είναι για το κέρδος και όχι αν το Revo σηκώνει την UNREAL 3.0, την οποία και φυσικά και θα σηκώνει, ειδικά εφόσον δεν έχει HD.

 

Επίσης, να σας υπενθημίσω ότι ο κύριος Rein μας έχει συνηθίσει σε σχόλια-πατάτες όσο αφορά το Revo.

Να σας θυμίσω τί είχε πεί παλιότερα για το χειρηστήριο του Revo, χωρίς κάν να το έχει δοκιμάσει:

"Don't kid yourself – you're going to see more gimmicky, crappy, cheap, I-wish-I-hadn't-bought-it gimmick games based around that controller than you can ever possibly imagine."

 

Και μετά βγήκε να το διορθώσει, όταν όλοι απόρησαν με τα βλακώδη σχόλιά του:

"I actually said Nintendo's going to make amazing games. I never really passed a judgment on the controller itself. I think the controller's cool!"

 

Και τα σχόλιά του ότι η Unreal 3.0 δεν μπορεί να παίξει στο Revo είναι εξίσου άτυπα, όταν η επίσημη αναφορά της engine λέει ότι θα παίζει στα παρακάτω συστήματα:

Οperating systems: Windows, Linux, Xbox, Playstation, GameCube

Γενικό συμπέρασμα: Ο τύπος ή είναι άσχετος, ή έχει πάρει τόσο χρήμα από την M$ που αποτελεί φερέφωνό της.

Call of Duty Heads to Revolution

Gamers can gun with the Revmote.

 

Activision is apparently one of the companies excited about the Revolution's Revmote controller, as they've apparently decided to bring the Call of Duty series to Nintendo's Revolution. While Activision hasnʼt made an official comment, we can probably expect one soon. Also, there is no word on if this Call of Duty will be a version of the game that is already out, or a completely new entry in the franchise.

H Nintendo χαίρει μεγάλης υποστήριξης από την Activision.

 

Ξέρουμε ήδη για κάποιο παιχνίδι (άγνωστο μέχρι στιγμής) που θα βγεί μαζί με το launch της κονσόλας.

 

Ξέρουμε ότι θα βγάλει και το Spiderman 3 σε ειδική έκδοση για το Revo.

 

Και τώρα καί το Call of Duty.

 

Αυτά είναι.

 

Σιγά σιγά φεύγουν οι φόβοι μας όσον αφορά την υποστήριξη της μεγάλης Ν από third-party dev studios, μιάς και είναι πλέον εμφανές ότι θα δούμε πολλά πολλά παιχνίδια από αυτούς.

 

Daredevil, δεν είναι ακόμα γνωστό το αν θα είναι port ή καινούργιο παιχνίδι.

"Much speculation has been hovering over the name of Nintendoʼs upcoming next-gen console. After being used to the codename ʽRevolutionʼ, word has it that a leaked presentation slide from Japan depicts an image with the words ʽNintendo GOʼ. ʽGoʼ is coincidentally the Japanese word for ʽfiveʼ, which ties in nicely as this is Nintendoʼs 5th console. Other video game aficionados have affectionately dubbed it the ʽNE5ʼ – geek speak that harks back at the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)ʼs glory days."

 

Εμενα μου αρεσει και μπορει να πιασει καλα αυτο το ονομα τι λετε εσεις?

[panther_512]

Πιασάρικο ακούγεται, αλλά μέχρι να το ανακοινώσουν επίσημα όλα παίζονται.

 

Αλλά δε πάν να το λένε και NSDARWISICS (Νintendo Super-Dupper-Amazingly-Revolutionary-With-Its-Special-Innovative-Controller System), εγώ τα έβαλα ήδη τα λεφτά στη τράπεζα και περιμένουν πότε θα βγεί να το πάρω.

 

400 Ευρώπουλα για το Revo/Nintendo Go/NSDARWISICS και 600 για το PS3.

 

Αν και πολύ φοβάμαι ότι μέχρι να βγεί το PS3, τα 600 θα έχουν γίνει 1000000 από τους τόκους

Παντως αυτο το logo, οπως φαινεται και στην φωτογραφια, εχει χρησιμοποιηθει ηδη.

Μπορει βεβαια η Nintendo να μην το ηξερε αυτο. Παντως εμενα δεν μου αρεσει το Nintendo GO.

 

Το μονο σιγουρο ειναι οτι το Revolution δεν θα ειναι η τελικη ονομασια της κονσολας οπως εχουν δηλωσει απο την Nintendo.

Εγω θα προτιμουσα το Nintendo RS, δηλαδη Nintendo Revolution System, καθως δειχνει την αμεση σχεση με το Nintendo DS με το οποιο ακολουθουν την ιδια φιλοσοφια.

 

Οπως ειπε και ο panther_512 και εγω θα το παρω οπως και αν το λενε τελικα.

New Revolution Games Through Virtual Console

 

Satoru Iwata divulged that developers will have the option, through Virtual Console, to directly sell new Revolution games rather than relying on disc-based media for distribution.

 

 

Over 1,000 Classic Titles Online For Revolution

 

Also said that Nintendo will offer an online download service for more than 1,000 "classic" game titles for its next-generation game console, currently code-named the Nintendo Revolution.

 

 

Emulation For Additional Classic Platforms

 

Past consoles specifically supported by the Virtual Console service include the NES/Famicom, Super NES/Famicom, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, and NEC TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine. Plans for the emulation of additional classic platforms, such as Nintendoʼs Game Boy, Virtual Boy and Game Boy Advance, is already being made.

Nintendo Opposes $60 Games

Xbox 360 pricing scheme not part of Revolution plans.

 

Gamers have shown increased concern over the amount of money publishers have been charging for Xbox 360 releases. Though first-party Microsoft games like Perfect Dark Zero have maintained the industry-standard $50 from last generation, paying $50 for a jazzed up port of Activision's Gun isn't so attractive.

 

Nintendo seems to agree. CNN/Money columnist Chris Morris had a chance to chat with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata about the company's future, and he expressed his similar dissatisfaction. "I really don't think that there's going to be a lot of acceptance by current customers of the $60 price tag," he says.

 

With that in mind, Iwata would be awfully hypocritical if Revolution were to follow down the same path, and considering Nintendo's continued emphasis on lowered development hurdles, consumers should logically see a lower price. Iwata doesn't foresee any first-party Revolution games costing more than $50.

 

Then again, Iwata's specifically mentions first-party games, leaving open the possibility third-party publishers could gamble with consumers for a little extra cash. With Revolution's already abstract approach to videogames, though, hopefully publishers realize gouging gamers' wallets isn't the best way to draw their support.

BioWare and Pandemic Hype Revolution

Say the console is doing mind-blowing things. Quotes inside.

 

 

March 29, 2006 - Gamasutra had the chance to catch up with Pandemic CEO Josh Resnick, as well as BioWare CEOs Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk at the Game Developers Conference 2006, where the three commented on Nintendo's Revolution console.

 

Pandemic's Resnick said that the studio was "enthralled" with the Revolution, but that it hasn't made any official announcements about games in development for it yet.

 

Meanwhile, Zeschuk from BioWare was every bit as optimistic, if not more so. "Well, the Revolution is a very different platform, and we've actually just seen some things behind closed doors that are just mind-blowing," he said. "Very, very exciting. They're doing something that's very different and unique."

 

Pandemic is best known for its Full Spectrum Warrior and Star Wars: Battlefront games. BioWare is the developer behind Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire.

 

With big-name studios already taking notice, Revolution may actually pull off what GameCube never could: widespread third party support.
