Hype: Revolution Mock-Up
A new fan-made Revolution video has Nintendo fans marveling at the possibilities. Must see.
by Matt Casamassina
May 13, 2005 - The six-plus minute video appeared on various message boards this afternoon and ever since Nintendo fans everywhere have been fighting to download it. The render, created by an unknown (and very talented) artist or artists, mocks-up what some Nintendo fans would call their dream scenario: a Nintendo Revolution that is so far ahead of the curve that it truly revolutionizes the way people play games. In this case, the console is no longer a console, but a virtual reality headset.


The video is not real, but some fans probably wish it were.
IGN has included the video in downloadable form. Readers are free to check it out. While it's unlikely that the render is at all an indication of the final system, which Nintendo plans to talk about and showcase at E3 2005, it's an impressive design feat nevertheless.

positively fake. NIntendo has let slip a few details. 3 dvd cases thick and slightly wider than a dvd case. The unit will be fairly compact and it willl play standard dvds aka movies. The whole 3d thing helmet stuff is just out there, thoroughly impracitical. I'm sorry but the virtual boy threatened to screw up kids eyes and gave you headaches after extended play sessions.

yep but truely someone had a bit too much free time on there hands to render all that for this fake mock up of wishful thinking

Well, it could've been someone looking for a gig with NIntendo and using that as a marketing tool. That's my take.

True, either that or just someone looking to get mainstream recognition period. Seems like more and more people are becoming media attention whores anymore. notice the vid sort of cuts off at the end like maybe the makers will come forth with the rest when ever it hits widespread media so they can take due credit.

My theory (which i stated in Jupitar's thread)

Sony created this video to make Revolution SOO great, and steal the use for buying an Xbox 360. Then it would be a huge let down to Nintendo fans at E3 when they find out what Nintendo is really doing. Disappointed with Nintendo, thunder gone from Xbox 360, and all that remain is Sony's Powerhouse console.

My take on it, stated in Jupiter's thread:

The cool talented renderer who made the video is very untalented when it comes to logistics, as he thinks you can control your characters by running around in your room and the headset will send proxmity signals to let the console read your movements. Well tough luck bud, there's no gameworld that's only as large as your bedroom. Maybe if the floors were outfitted with conveyer belts.....
