i bet the processing and graphics hardware don't have to be that expensive like they used to. |
Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
The screen-in-controllers is a good idea, especially with the growing popularity of co-op games. For instance, imagine an RPG where each player can look at their own stats and inventory without cluttering up the screen. Or poker with all players in the same room.
Of course, this is not new. Dreamcast had the VMU, and Nintendo has had connectivity with it's various handhelds. But if this rumor is true, this would be the first time that this sort of thing was a stock feature and not something sold separately. |

It's cool tech, and I'm sure Nintendo can make it work, I'm just curious how prevalent this is (and how many batteries these controllers are going to suck up) |

Borderlands would be badass with those controllers. Inventory, menus, comparing weapons... :drool:

Additionally, IGN has learned that the system will be based on a revamped version of AMD's R700 GPU architecture, not AMD's Fusion technology as previously believed, which will, as previously reported, out perform the PlayStation 3's NVIDIA 7800GTX-based processor. Like the Xbox 360, the system's CPU will be a custom-built triple-core IBM PowerPC chipset, but the clocking speeds will be faster. The system will support 1080p output with the potential for stereoscopic 3D as well, though it has not been determined whether that will be a staple feature. In terms of the design of the console itself, the overall size will be comparable to that of the original Xbox 360 and the system is likely to resemble a modernized version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). |

But remember, 1080p doesn't mean much until we see what resolution the games will actually use. It would have to be a big step over the 360 and PS3 to have 1080p games as the norm.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
Hopefully this new console sees Nintendo adopt an easier and more intuitive system for online gaming. I only ever played Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl a few times online, and it was pretty inconvenient, compared to the ease with which I can access online gameplay on my PS3.
I'm also wondering exactly how the in-screen controller would work. If it's strictly for stuff like checking maps, selecting weapons, etc. and the gameplay doesn't show up on the screen, it could be a little problematic. I mean, in order to select your weapon or check a map or whatever, you'd have to look away from the main action of the game and consult another screen; if you're doing multiplayer, this could definitely have an adverse effect on you. |

even on the PC side you don't need a new GPU to do 1080p resolution i'm pretty sure all the next gen consoles will come with blu ray and do 1080p on all games without getting warm. the winner of the next generation of consoles will have the best online services |

This is starting to sound like Nintendo is falling into a Dreamcast scenario where it's better than what's out now, but will easily be eclipsed in 18-24 months by the next Xbox and Playstation. Big difference being Nintendo's innovation and stable of first party franchises.

Re: RUMOR - Next Nintendo Console to Be Announced at E3 2011
I'm assuming they'll keep the Wii around for the "casuals" and this system will be more geared towards the more "hardcore" gamer market.

I think that would be awesome. One less system to worry about buying and having all of the first party titles for the next X Box and PS system. Playing Super Mario on X Box 720 and Legend of Zelda on PS4. I guess one can dream.

Not to mention they are still the only ones that make a reliable system.
