Revolution Slide Supposedly Leaked from TGS2005

[Doctor Setebos]

No one can confirm if this is real or not, but it definitely looks authentic. Interesting things to note:

"Offline" in top-left corner hints at the online awareness capabilities
Picture at the bottom shows instructions to "tilt" controller, supposedly being used here for software selection
"GumShu: Bloody Afternoon" - a remake of the original NES "Gumshoe"?

[Bushido]

Oooh....super secret game system glimpse.

[Heretic Machine]

Well, tilting is fucking stupid, and it's one of those things most of us have said would be stupid if it were the "revolution." Guess Nintendo dropped the ball again.

Revolution = boned.

[civx]

Looks fake to me, but who knows at this point.

[fitbabits]

If that controller is a true depiction of what all the fuss was about, then you can color me underwhelmed. Looks like a PC gamepad to me.

[A-Team]

Don't be confused folks, TVG had nothing to do with getting this picture. The folks on Shack pointed out the photo yesterday without a watermark on it.

Anyway, controller information should be coming tonight. I know IGN and a few other sites will be covering the event, including Nintendo's keynote and all that starting at around 7:00 PM EDT.

[Xerxes]

Looks real enough. But I'm not worrying about it until they have a fucking definative Pokemon mmorpg.

I through the curse word in to sound manly. :-D

[NELS]

Hopefully this is fake. Jesus imagine if the "revolution" was a fucking tilt controller... C'mon Nintendo, I am rooting for ya!

[ben_bot]

if that is real then why does it say 8/19/2005 in the upper left hand corner of it?

[Kelegacy]

If dont right, what would be wrong with a tilt controller? Nintendo isnt known to release gimmicks that work like total ass. They've definitely (see: hopefully) researched whatever this "revolution" is and have a good grasp on what they are doing.

[Xerxes]

Ok and the date proves what? The 19th of August didn't exist?

NELS, have you seen the DS. Search your feelings and know it to be true. Tilt controllers is pausable with Nintendo.

[CapnBob]

Photoshopped. The top and bottom of the projection screen is lighter than the dark spots of the projected image. Unless you guys think that Nintendo has developed a projector capable of NULLIFYING ambient light from a surface, this is obviously fake.

[Phades]

If anyone can pull off making a tilt controller be a cool feature, it's Nintendo. With the exception of Virtual Boy, just about every gimmick they try out ends up being fantastic and most eventually become standard on other systems. I can't wait to see what it's like.

Well i was under the impression that this was a video projector, but if its just a slide, then thats the date the slide was taken.

My mistake i guess.

Well dude, this is real okay because I saw it on a gaming website okay and its real because it has the nintendo logo on it okay, jeez!

[MosBen]

<fingers crossed that the "revolution" is more than tilting>

[Abednigo]

Well, tilting is fucking stupid, and it's one of those things most of us have said would be stupid if it were the "revolution." Guess Nintendo dropped the ball again.

Revolution = boned.

Spoken with much ignorance. It's not even confirmed yet!

Let's wait until we actually SEE the Revolution and it's controller before making retarded statements like that.

[OldeWolf]

If some of you guys just focus on just the controller and reject the whole "revolution" based on just a controller that you even dont know a thing about, then you are personally very shallow and superficial.

I for one would rather just just sit here and wait till the real information comes before I judge.

Now just sit back and mellow out.

I may be making this up, but I recall the controller being called revolutionary by Nintendo at some point (or at least the method of control). Hence, people are focusing on the controller. It's not superficial, it's curiosity. It may have killed the cat, but I'm not aware of it being harmful in any other way.

:confused:
So wait, this presentation would've had the picture taken today -- With today's date, to be real? Because everyone updates the time on all devices?

Or this couldn't be a pic leaked from the past? Cause the pictures of the past can't be leaked?

OMG the prime objective has been broken!?! :eek:

i just thought that if this was from TGS2005, the date would be closer to the actual date than this is.

That's nice, you little tit. Please take your homophobic self to the Get-A-Life store and puchase yourself some common decency. They're running an in-store special for homophobic fuckers like you - buy some common decency and they'll throw in a helping of tolerance for free.

[Harlan Hoyt]

I think it's interesting that people are so quick to dismiss a tilt controller in a gamepad as being stupid. If you've played "WarioWare: Twisted," you should know that Nintendo has actually done tilt sensors really well. If this controller does just that, with the little feedback kick that GameBoy cart had, I think it could be pretty amazing. If it can move along two axes (front/back and left/right), then that really would be revolutionary, as much so as analog sticks -- perhaps even more. I've thought for a while this is what the controller would look like.

That being said, no point in speculating until we see it in action, and not on a blurry, maybe fake, maybe real leak.

"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions."

I think someone needs to take themselves to the Can't-Take-A-Joke store and purchase some sense of humor pills. It was funny! Do you think Napoleon Dynamite saying, "You guys are retarded!" as being a jab at the physically challenged? Lighten up.

They already HAVE pulled off tilt as a cool feature. It's called WarioWare Twisted! for GBA. Regardless of your opinion of the WarioWare series, the control scheme was brilliant. There were about 5 seconds where I drove a car by tilting the GBA and it was everything I'd hoped for since playing games in 1979.

Anyone stop to think that Nintendo is being sneaky with the name? Revolution, to me, can suggest rotating a controller. In effect, they've been telling us all along what it would be about. Did anyone think it was going to shine their shoes or pick up the kids from school?

[Bone]

"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions."

That's about the dumbest quote I've ever heard. I guess intolerance must be the virtue of a self-centered, ignorant bigot.

"you guys are retarded" = you people are stupid

"you guys are fags" = you people are mamby pamby nancy boys who like to fuck each other in the ass which god says is BAD unless you're with a hot chick.

Right, thanks for clearing that up, mr. convictions.

[KarmaGhost]

Photoshopped. The top and bottom of the projection screen is lighter than the dark spots of the projected image. Unless you guys think that Nintendo has developed a projector capable of NULLIFYING ambient light from a surface, this is obviously fake.It would appear that what you're talking about is the "black" bars above the "Revolution" text and below the "software" text. If the projector was not of the highest quality (which, based on this pic seems to be the case), it's possible that black doesn't appear as a true black at all because of contrast ratios and such. However, if you look at the dark areas around "GumShu," there does appear to be darker regions that appear to be closer to true black.

So, either you're right and this is photoshopped, or the "black" bars I mentioned earlier aren't black at all, but closer to a midnight blue, which would explain the discrepency. Who knows? Hopefully us, soon.

[triptogn]

Looks real to me

[mkelehan]

A tilt controller would be great for racing games. Phenomenal, in fact. Pure trash for anything else, beyond a sequel to WW Twisted.

[Bone]

Pure trash for anything else, beyond a sequel to WW Twisted.
I can see the tilt being used for anything an analog controller is used for. With force feedback added, you could know exactly when the controller is at rest. How about picking locks like in Splinter Cell by jiggling and twisting the controller? Controlling Super Monkey Ball by tilting as if you were balancing a ball? Steering a tank with the controller while moving the turret with the analog stick? Use your imagination before you dismiss something so easily.

[ElectricMonk]

the funny thing about these 'leaked' slides is not only do they always turn out to be fake, but nobody remembers the sites who posted them to begin with trying to pass them off as legit for a few more hits to their site

[thecrazyd]

Revolution = boned.
Remember the good old days when Perigon did not make ignorant flames with no real evidence to back it up? No, neither do I.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

You know, I for one always tilt the controller when playing games, and I know a lot of other people do the same. When I first saw this, my immediate thought was "Wow, I hope that's not the big 'revolution'", but after further consideration I think this could actually be pretty damn cool.

Many thought that Wind Waker and the DS were stupid as well when first announced, and both of those just plain rock.

This would work for a lot more than just racing games, as Bone pointed out. I can see playing a Mario game with something like this as well. Tilt the controller to have him run in a certain direction, turn, etc. It would probably be even more natural than an analog stick. Kind of like driving a Segway.

[bapenguin]

Photoshopped. The top and bottom of the projection screen is lighter than the dark spots of the projected image. Unless you guys think that Nintendo has developed a projector capable of NULLIFYING ambient light from a surface, this is obviously fake.

Sony has that screen out already. It's a front projection screen that's black that helps increase contrast ratio and lowers the need for a dark room.

[Doctor Setebos]

Well, tilting is fucking stupid, and it's one of those things most of us have said would be stupid if it were the "revolution." Guess Nintendo dropped the ball again.

Revolution = boned.Yeah, remember when Nintendo invented the directional pad? Man was that a stupid idea. And then, they created analog sticks, and everyone thought they were out of their minds. And don't even get me started on the fallacy of the rumble pack!

Oh, wait. No. Every controller innovation Nintendo has ever come up with has since become industry standard. Microsoft even went so far as to copy their ABXY buttons. Maybe you should actually experience the Revolution firsthand before you cry out NINTEDO IS TEH DOOOOOOOMED!!1!11!!

[solinari6]

**coughvirutalboycough**
Don't forget the Super Scope, either! :D

[Opty]

It's obviously fake because the image is being projected onto a cheap white movie screen, not a brand new high def TV. Most screenshots of movie screens and the like are relatively washed out compared to the computer-sharp screen in the picture.

[anakin876]

Don't forget the Super Scope, either! :D

The super scope was great - but sadly, like every gun-type device made for gaming, it was never strongly supported. No mater how great a device is, if there are only 6 or 7 games to play it with, it will fail.

Maybe you found it funny, I didn't. You finding a post like that funny says more about you than some pithy comment you decide to put in quotes.

And yes, I do think that the word retarded these days is insulting to people who are physically challenged, as well as me. Would you say that the people who starred in Murderball are retarded?

[TrackZero]

If dont right, what would be wrong with a tilt controller? Nintendo isnt known to release gimmicks that work like total ass. They've definitely (see: hopefully) researched whatever this "revolution" is and have a good grasp on what they are doing.

Remember when they showed off the DS to a crowd of people scratching their heads? Meanwhile it turned out to be great. I trust they know what they're doing.

[HumpYourWay]

Nintendo? Yawn...

[Morrolan]

If this is true, I'd have to go with the 'Nintendo = boned' comment.

But who knows if this is genuine.

[mkelehan]

That's true; I was thinking one-axis. It'd be great for flight games and Monkey Ball. But, still, I'll take a stick.

[Doctor Setebos]

....Dreamcast?Okay, so Sega AND Microsoft both copied Nintendo. That only goes to prove my point further, that Nintendo's controller innovations become industry standard.

[Zurik]

What was so wrong with the way controls work nowadays that we need to change to tilting anyway? I admit it'd be fun for Mario games and platforms, but not RPGs.

[Achilles]

It looks real to me too, but I don’t trust any leak of a Nintendo product. If this is fake it’s a good fake. And is that the original Xbox controller down there as an icon?

The date says 8-19-05 Fri. Based on the fact that 8-19 was in fact a Friday… this could still easily be fake.

Peter: "Hey Joe, I just found out I'm retarded. I wanted to ask you how you deal with it."

Peter: "C'mon, now you're just splitting hairs."

[Eran Hawke]

A tilt controller could be all that and a bag of chips, if done correctly.

I'll reserve judgement until I actually try it for myself.

[Eran Hawke]

And what is wrong with a tilt controller AND an analog stick? Some games could use one, some games could use tile, some analog stick, some games could use both!

[Linkreincarnate]

If tilt technology is a part of the revo's controller (which I'm quite sure it is) it wont be the ony factor. Remember Nintendo said the revolutionary aspect of the controler was something that had never been used in video games. Nintendo's already made games that feature tilt technology...
I think the pic is a fake though. Nintendo making a game subtitles Bloody Afternoon? Come on...

Heck, I'll even throw in a punch in the face for him for free.

[rainbowblack]

doncha think its convienent of this to drop RIGHT before TGS

i call nintendos bluff. although we cant clearly see the conteroller...if its so revolutionary then somthing on the controller should stand out prominently...like a screen perhaps, since thats what everyone is swearing is going to be the big N's secret weapon

[Nessus]

On the IGN boards some people were claiming that this picture came out around the time of the Germany show a couple weeks ago. Personally I think it looks fake but I could be wrong.

Also, Nintendo has stated that the GameCube controller ports on Rev aren't just for playing backwards compatable games, and that they are also there to provide another option for developers, like the SNES controller that's built into the DS. The only way I see developers supporting that feature is if they include a Wavebird with Rev along with the Rev's controller.

I'll say this, if the new feature of Rev's controller is at least as functional as the DS then I'm sold. I wasn't sure before, but after playing Kirby: Canvas Curse I fell in love with the DS.

I guess we'll find out in a couple hours. After waiting months for news a few hours is nothing.

[Royal Fool]

I saw this picture yesterday morning, I must say that it looks pretty authentic. Could easily be fake... anyone with enough imagination and artistic talent could throw up a faked interface image like that and put it on his living room projector, and then get his father or someone to stand next to the screen to make it look 'more authentic'.

But I still think this might actually be real. Most likely a secret presentation back in August instead of being leaked from TGS. Don't you think they would show people a Japanese version of the interface if this was being shown there?

[screwtape]

Does anybody else shift around when they're playing games? In the span of a half hour, I can go from sitting to laying across the couch to laying on the floor. Will the controller re-zero itself?

And my wrists are bad enough as it is after years of gaming, typing, etc. I don't imagine a tilt controller being comfortable to use.

Still, I have faith in Nintendo. I hope it's as fun as they're hinting it will be.

[bapenguin]

It does look like the date on the top left is 8/19/2005. That would make me think it's from some American event no?

[score]

Anyone stop to think that Nintendo is being sneaky with the name? Revolution, to me, can suggest rotating a controller. In effect, they've been telling us all along what it would be about.

I think you're onto something here. Its going to be something that twists and we've unintentionally known about it all along...

And why are leaked pics always blurry? Even photos with my crappy mobile phone taken quickly are never this bad...

Anyone who calls a rugby player retarded, whether said player is handicapped or not, is just, well, retarded.

I'm with fitbabits here - calling people fags, retarded, etc. is juvenile at best and just plain hateful at worst.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Maybe they are going to partner with Margaret Cho and release a copy of her 'Revolution' with every Revolution console.

I'm sold!

[Bone]

I imagine it would take a minimal amount of force feedback to tell you the controller is "moving". Just like you can hold a glass of water without looking at it based on slight movement of the water.

Anyway, the only thing I occasionally found uncomfortable about WarioWare was following the moving screen while controlling the game. With a TV, the controller is freed up for even more movement.

[NELS]

Ok and the date proves what? The 19th of August didn't exist?

NELS, have you seen the DS. Search your feelings and know it to be true. Tilt controllers is pausable with Nintendo.


You do have a valid point. I thought the DS would be stupid but boy was I ever wrong. Just seeing what they have already done with it makes me believe they will do even more amazing things with it.

I am also not just saying that the tilt is a bad idea, just that I will be extremely underwhelmed if that is the "revolution". Even if it is though I know I will buy it, as I have bought up everything that has the Nintendo logo on it (including the Virtual Boy, which I actually loved).

[bobbler]

I believe this was from some german game presentation -- I believe if you do some searching there was one happening at the time in the corner of the picture. This picture has also been floating around for a few days now, it isn't from TGS.

[Bushido]

Hasnt anyone ever watched their gramma or some other familly member grapple with a controller? they put it in the air they twist with the turns and so forth. Making a controler that is intuitive seems like a stroke of genius. Finally my gramma can get that extra traction when we are racing mario karts and she might win a game or two.

[Kelegacy]

When I call someone a fag (my brother and I sometimes throw that word around at each other) it means stupid, or idiot mostly. It's an insult, but usually it's in jest. However, you can usually tell from my tone and context if I mean it to insult homosexuals (which I don't do--I'm too liberal for that).

Retarded is a good word though; I love it. I use the word all the time. I might say to some guy who fucks up royally "You fucking retard" in anger, but I can also use it to describe my friends as "stupid retards" in jest. Retard and retard get slammed too much as a bad word. Fag and retard are both words that are great to get your point across, and both have new colloquial meanings (which can also be unfortunate, in fag's case).

When I say the word "fag", it's not to insinuate homosexuality. If I say "retard", I'm not making fun of mentally disabled people. Yes, it can be juvenille, but so is throwing tantrums, shitting my pants or pissing to bed, and I do all of those daily.

That is completely true. Usually casual gamers do this all the time. I tend to stay completely still, but I think I might still twitch from time to time. I know when I was little, my retard friends and parents would twist and turn the controller like they were truly controlling the vehicle or character. This COULD be a Revolution. We'll have to wait and see if they announce anything tonight....

...i cant wait...

[Nintendo Revolution]

I think Perigon needs to stop posting when its anything related to Nintendo. Seriously. It is this type of ignorance that is common in a person who runs around telling everybody that Nintendo is going to be bought out and Mario and Zelda are going to be playable on the Xbox.

[ECM]

Heck, I'll even throw in a punch in the face for him for free.

Wow, such tolerance...*snicker*.

Thanks for the utterly delicious slice of irony.

[Vorphalack]

I doubt tilting is all it does.

That said....there have been so many fan-created "leaks" that really every idea has been thought up. Programmable interface buttons, gyroscopic insides for tilt resistance, stylus, dual handed, blah, blah, blah.

Really the controller could have a little slot on the side that spits out hundred dollar bills and shoots ninja stars, and I doubt any of you would be impressed. And that's not an insult to anyone's intelligence at all. Fact is...Nintendo has hyped this up WAAAAAY too early, leaving too much time for people to speculate what the big damn deal is. Chance are...whatever the revolution is has already been thought of by some fans and a fake mock-up has already been made. Imaginations running wild will leave everyone underwhelmed.

It would be prudent for people to really try to start lowering your expectations if you plan on getting the system at all. Chances are, it probably is pretty cool and pretty damn fun. The DS is awesome...and I was super skeptical of that when I first heard about it. I have no doubt the revolution will be the same.

But as long as people keep expecting programmable button stylus crap (I mean, really...wtf, people?) you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

...i cant wait...

Didn't Nintendo say back at E3 that they were trying to get people who have never played games before to become gamers? I think that with a tilt controller they would definately accomplish that goal. Way back in the day when I let my sister play my SNES she was all over the place trying to control whatever she was playing. And if I recall my parents are the exact same way. Well anyways, Nintendo to me is like pure gaming goodness. Everything with their name on it is usually golden. At E3 two years ago when I got to play with the DS, I thought it was the most innovative system created. When Nintendo says they're going to do something great they always pull through and then some. Keep the faith people!

[Paranoia]

Let's not forget "The UForce" (NES), R.O.B. The Robot (NES), and "The Power Glove" (NES).

Another major mistake I like to point out is the Game Boy Advance lack of backlit.

You cant fault them for trying to innovate while other companies stagnate. I think the last shoddy thing released by Nintendo was the Virtual Boy, and at least it was something totally different. I hope they continue to do stuff to push the gaming world ever forward. That Gameboy camera was even pretty nifty back in the day.

[Heretic Machine]

Fuck anyone who says that the Virtual Boy was shoddy. That was a damn fun piece of hardware, and it's only inherent flaw was the bi-pod it stood on. If it had sold better, there would of been way more games and it would of brought even more joy to my home. I still play it from time to time, Wario World, Teleroboxer, Mario Tennis... mmm, good stuff.

I don't really fault Nintendo, but I'm just pointing out that even Nintendo can make mistakes.

Another failed product I forgot to mention was the SNES mouse unfortunately very few software support it.

WTF...

[NELS]

Uhh... wow... I am... uhh... surprised...

[OldeWolf]

Ah, now that's interesting!

If they can come up with a powerful hardware and a very interactive games/software, I'll buy that system.

[Fernie417]

O_0!

I think it's good.

I'm confused. and shocked. In a good way. I think.

Edit: And I'm slightly amused that none of the mock-ups floating around were anywhere near this.

[mister_slim]

Interesting is definitely the right word.

I hope 'revolution' also turns out to be the right word.

[Paranoia]

So much for the Revolution hype.
