Broken Saints Revolution Rumors
Fresh, right out of the oven speculation!
by Juan Castro

April 25, 2005 - In the middle of last week, the Broken Saint's website posted claims they knew the secret behind Nintendo's upcoming console, codenamed Revolution. Now, if it's one thing the Web isn't short on, it's people claiming they know what drives Nintendo's Revolution. What makes the claim on Broken Saints compelling, however, is that Brooke Burgess, the man behind the site, is actually in a position to know. Or at the very least, in a position where savory strips of information may be floating around, just waiting to be picked up by wary ears.

Well, it looks like Broken Saints has gone and posted its much-anticipated theory on what makes the Nintendo Revolution revolutionary. At the core of the theory sits how Revolution will display games: through a form of real-time 3D projection. That's right folks, along the lines of a classic 50s monster movie. Nintendo itself has stated that what it plans to use on Revolution isn't all that unique, only that it has never been applied to videogames. Taking that into account, plus recent patents filed by Nintendo, and it doesn't sound all that far fetched, argues Burgess.

If that's not enough, he goes on. During the ShoWest film conference, a panel featuring George Lucus, Robert Zemekis, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez, and a satellite feed from Peter Jackson discuss their plans to integrate cheap digital stereoscopic 3D into major theater chains by 2007. Here's where things get interesting: Burgess claims to know an agent who spoke to Robert Rodriguez, stating they knew of a game machine that would exploit this new wave of 3D entertainment well before Hollywood could jump in on the market.

Burgess goes on to say he spoke to an industry friend about his new theory, to which the industry friend said that Nintendo had shown a real-time 3D add-on for GameCube behind closed doors. When? At last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Furthermore, Burgess claims the Revolution will certainly sport wireless controllers, among other, unknown wireless capabilities. Also, according to Burgess, the Revolution controller will feature either a touch-screen or some form of proprietary PDA device.

As for gyroscopic controllers, the Revolution will indeed use them. Burgess references several inside "sources" who claim they know Revolution controllers will support positional shifts as experienced in Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble. Not all games will support the feature, but Burgess states that at least one Revolution launch title will.

This is all speculation, of course, but there you have it.

Stay tuned for more.

What do the following companies have in common?

SquareEnix

and

Ubisoft

?

According to the new EGM, Zelda is a fox in the new game. Literally.

I'll have more details as soon as I get my issue in the mail!

I haven't checked activity logs in forever, and they don't go back since before I installed VB3 last January, but since then, March was our most active month ever, and April may be on track to pass that.

So post your little heinies off, kids.

We almost forgot you, didn't we? :)

STALKER Storyline









The idea of using Chernobyl as the setting for an FPS where you fight zombies, mutants and other such things is a great idea. About an hour ago I came across this site that has pictures from an exploration this woman made into Chernobyl not too long ago and that place looks creepy as heck. It's a huge town that's just completely empty and in decay. Hopefully they can pull this off because it has a cool Half-Life 2 look about it.

I need a good picture of Yamauchi's giant head faded into a sunset picture, ala Breakfast Club.

I have a few films I did I wanted to share. (Stream is Quicktime optimized for high speed) (Sorry 56K) :(

If Konami doesn't release this here I'm going to punch their face.
