If you're talking about hardware, the PS3 is double as much powerful as the XBox 360. It has seven 3.2 GHz processors!!!!! Seven!!!
That Killzone video totally blew me away. It was like war had broken out at my home.
Oh yeah, the design sucks. The thing looks like a fridge.

Demented Utrom · 05-17-2005, 01:35 AM

I was afraid the Title, was real. Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.What is Nintendo thinking it sounds, odd.

They could have thought up a better name, for this game.Since most people want it.

It might lose sales, since people are to embrassed to buy it because of the name.

It might come back to haunt Nintendo, instead of helping them.

Actually my guess is Ganondorf, puts a curse on Zelda turn her into a Wolflos.

Ganon, would be the last boss otherwise people would cry foul about it.

Link always saves Zelda, all the time when Ganondorf, is involved in the storyline.

When is the release date, probably fall would be my guess.

7 that would be hard to progarm, for.

*Kid Icarus* · 05-17-2005, 01:40 AM

Well, hold on. Twilight Princess isn't THAT bad.

TMB and I were talking about the title a whle ago...

Think about it for a second, following their past naming logic... Twilight is moon light. Princess... Zelda.

Maybe Link isn't the wolf, but Zelda is. Perhaps Link is on a quest in this game to save Zelda not from Ganon, but from herself? It'd sure as hell be a fresh story line for Zelda, as most 'second' console Zelda games are.

PS3 having 7 processors... Isn't that a little over kill? Thinking about coding for PS3 was hurting my head back when I thought it was only going to have 3 processors on board, then it made it want to explode when the info about Cells linking up came about... but SEVEN onboard processors? PS3's going to cost quite a bit me thinks...

*Kid Icarus* · 05-17-2005, 01:49 AM

sorry about the double post guys... but...

REVOLUTION'S BEEN REVEALED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now THAT is a DAMN sexy machine!

**Barkworm** · 05-17-2005, 01:53 AM

Guys, read this: http://cube.ign.com/articles/615/615019p1.html
If that is true, things are looking bad for Nintendo IMO. I know they continue to stress that this console race isn't only about hardware power but let's face it: It is. Nintendo can't just lay back and rely on some gimmicks, when their console is just a little more powerful than the original XBox. I really, REALLY hope this is not true.
EDIT: Oh, GWG beat me to it. I hope we see some larger pics of the design soon. It can't look worse than the PS3 though.

*Kid Icarus* · 05-17-2005, 01:58 AM

Nintendo ALWAYS downplays EVERYTHING they make. Remember, Wavebirds are only supposed to work up to 10 feet away, when they really work up to somewhere around 50. We're gonna see what's up in a matter of HOURS now though.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-17-2005, 03:24 AM

Like TMB already commented on, new Zelda title, logo, artwork and screens. I'm extremely dissappointed, that's all I'm going to say.

Anyway, the PS3 looks okay, though the controller looks horrible IMO. I'd like to know what they were thinking when they came up with that one.

Can't really say much about the Revolution yet. It looks like a regular DVD player to me so far, but it's only one pic, so I won't comment 'till I get a clearer view of it. The information about the power worries me though, but whatever. I'll get it anyway.

But do you really think they'd say it's two or three times as powerful as the GC if it's actually on par with the XBox 360 and the PS3?

I like the idea of being able to download and play all the previous Nintendo titles

*Mecha Cow* · 05-17-2005, 07:35 AM

More Revolution info and pictures.

The design is pretty boring IMO, but it is indeed a sexy machine, I like how small it is.

That's a sexy hand too...What?

Peanut · 05-17-2005, 07:55 AM

Three times more powerful? That's...awful. Nintendo is digging themself a grave. I like the look of the system though.

愛 · 05-17-2005, 08:14 AM

I'm skeptical. I want the press conference to make my own judgements. The system looks really nice, though.

*Voltron* · 05-17-2005, 09:08 AM

I dunno. While I am impressed by the power of these systems and the insight going into them, the designs do seem uninspired and boring. Nintendo looks like they just piled some of their stuff into a smaller version of a PS2 almost.

*Anarchistguy* · 05-17-2005, 09:52 AM

I don't get it. Are you people going to buy the systems for the games or for the LOOKS of the consoles? COME ON!!!

愛 · 05-17-2005, 09:57 AM

I buy systems whether the games are good or not. That's just how I roll.

*Kid Icarus* · 05-17-2005, 10:02 AM

Anarchistguy - Exactaly. So far no one's shown actual gameplay footage. It's all been "wow, look at our graphics!"

And guys, keep inmind that the Gamecube has weaker specs then the Xbox... but RE4 is easily the prettiest game ever made. This is Nintendos fifth home console, and 11th piece of gaming hardware. They know what they're doing.

Peanut · 05-17-2005, 10:20 AM

Yeah, but that's what WE think. How long will Nintendo last when the casual gamers hear how much weaker it is than the 360 or PS3? That's my only problem.

And who said they were or weren't getting a console because it looks ugly?

Edit: I've been reading up on some stuff from the Nintendo press conference...it looks like they may have just made some people have a heart attack...

*Kid Icarus* · 05-17-2005, 10:53 AM

Not really... I just watched most of it in live feed. Miyamoto played Nintendogs with someone from G4, apparently the dogs mated on stage. >_<.

Gameboy Micro. Tiny GBA, no improvments, waste of R&D money, and PSP chow, unless it has something more they're not telling us.

I missed the DS online stuff.

Revolution was a big wash over. No screens, no developers named, no real specs. The only news is that it can download past Nintendo games. No word if that's free or not, but it'd better damn well be. I *think* they did actually show off Metroid from the new hardware. The graphics looked better, but... eh, no idea.

And no supprises for Gamecube. None. Twilight Princess IS the new Zelda title. Link's a werewolf, the game's looking pretty damned creepy. NPC's took up a lot of the trailer time, so they'll play a big part in the game I'm sure.

Nintendo, I'm disapointed.

Peanut · 05-17-2005, 10:54 AM

It seems like a lot of people on Gamespot were loving it. Hopefully they'll pull out some surprises during the show.
