What controller attachment do you want to see?

[wahey42]

Now that the Revolution controller has been revealed discuss which attachments you would like to see. What would it do? What games could it be used for? Be as serious or as funny as you want. Those with photoshop skills try to come up with some pictures, thanks.

[Lefein]

A beam cannon arm attachment so you can play Metroid Prime with it!

I'd also like to see some kind of crazy futuristic assault rifle looking thing to play FPSes with it!

[wahey42]

How about a phone like attachment for the sure fire Japanese hit "Cellphone Madness"

[DJ AG aka Djag]

OOOoooo a Katana attachment for fighters and action games :D And ya a laser cannon attachment would be sweet for metroid lol.

Edit:The attachment would probably have to be a Wakizashi XD Becuase a Katana would be too long lol xDD

[The Chocobo Kid]

A controller that I can used to play old games. nothing funny! :evil:

Didn't you listen closely to the complete keynote video? They said dont worry a "classic controller" well be able to be attached as a addon allowing you to play games from the GC :)

[c r i t x]

I want a rocket launch *limited edition* attachment!! rofl :lol:

[Steroyd]

wow the revolution controller could make Ninty maximise profit from peripherals :lol:

Finally i'd get first hand experience with the light saber battle from star wars between Darth Sidius (me) and Yoda (my little 7 year old sister) :lol:

maybe a good attachment idea is a gun... so you can shoot the system and have an excuse to get a worthwhile system... da 360... or the ps3

Okay, I'm sorry but I don't care if I get banned for this. That's blatant fanboyism bias garbage. I don't go to your PS3 forum and insult your "bananarang" controller, or your 360 lobby to insult the console that's already being quoted as inferior to PS3 in more ways than can be counted. Don't come here to insult a controller you've never held. Biased trash like you on forums make me sick to my stomach. Actually hold the controller before you insult the damn thing. That's what you'd say about the boomerang.

He's not being biased, he's just stating his opinion in a funny way...and I think the boomerang sucks too. The only good controller in my opinion is the 360's...for now.

Saying it isn't wothwile? I'd say that's bias. Saying it's so worthless as to be shot with a gun as an excuse to get the competitions consoles? I'd say that's bias. It's blatant, meaningless, trash. This is a thrread for you to express which peripherals you'd like for Revolution, not a place to diss it.

Have you used the 360 controller? Have you got a chance to see how it feels in your hands? No, all you are is stating your opinions on reviews and pictures. But yet here you are saying the exact opposite thing about the Revolution's controller and It's still based on the same situation, your talking about it like its trash and you haven't even used it, you can't judge a book by it's cover, I know that saying only goes so far but when I am talking about the Revolutions controller I am definetely not going too far at all.

You're right DJ AG aka Djag. Anyone dont believe c r i t x is biased? Read one of his latest posts. You'll be surprised.


Its basically Nintendo saying "look, we cant compete with M$ or Sony in the hardware department. We obviously can't compete with them in the controller department either. And now we can't compete in the hand held department either. We are doomed!!! Look out its Godzilla!!!!" :lol:

He's just stating his opinions dude...you gotta think about it, some people are pretty disappointed with what Nintendo came up with. They have a right to be a little pissed off seeing as how they were expecting something else. You can't go around on forums thinking everybody is biased just because they have some harsh negative comments towards something.

I am merely stating my opinion towards you. Hasn't you're mother ever told you not to judge someting by looks, which you are obviously doing? I may act childish when I'm angry, but you act that way naturaly. You refuse to accept Nintendo as anything but a pile of crap. If you were an adult(not by age but through actions)you'd at least give the Revolution controller a try before you judge and dismiss it, but you obviously refuse to. I may need to grow up, but you also should give it a try.

Look, I saw the pic of the controller and thats all I needed to know that I wont like it. Its just the way I am. Personally I think its a very stupid unrevolutionary thing seeing as how a very similar device (the duckhunt gun) was made back in the late 80's. In my opinion Nintendo has fallen victom to M$ and Sony. There is no doubt about this in my view and some other people's views obviously. How am I childish by saying the controller sucks? Its my opinion and I have every right to express it. Don't like it, well thats too bad...not everyone is going to agree with you all the time, welcome to life on planet Earth.

I never said everyone agreed with me, I'll be lucky to find 5 people in the world who agree with some of my views. It's not your choice not to like Revolution that bothers me, it's the way you go about insulting it as if everyone feels the same as you. You're bound to get criticism from me if you say Nintendo's doomed when the console hasn't even been released yet. That's a very poor assumption considering you have nothing to prove it. Post logical comments and maybe I'll tone down the criticism.

[wahey42]

Please get back on topic. Seriously there are better places to discuss your opinion of the controller. Please continue your bashing or defending of the the controller here:
http://www.ps3forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=6738
This is not the place for it.

back to the topic: I would like to see a steering wheel attachment, the controller could fit in the middle and simply turning the wheel would control the vehicle. I know other systems have this but it would be really cheap for the revolution since it would only be round hunk of plastic.

Sorry, I guess this is getting out of hand. Anyway, I'd like to see something like that too. It would definitely be cheap and it would work great with racing games. Hey, who knows, maybe a second controller could be used for shifting. :lol:

EDIT: I'm sorry wahey42 but I just noticed this:

I swear you nintendo fanboys are the worst...
Look, I can see we both don't like each other, but no one, and I mean no one calls me a Nintendo FanBoy. Of all fanboys the Nintendo ones are the worst. I don't agree with everything Nintendo's doing, but just because I post what I believe does not make me a fanboy. I know I act like it at times, but I do because of the frequent Nintendo bashing on these forums for no apparent reason. That's what you are doing. I didn't plaster "Sony is doomed the PS3 controller sucks" when the boomerang was revealed, but you are doing that to Nintendo. I can act like a fanboy when I'm angry or don't agree with someone, but you act like it in a good portion of your posts in the Revolution forum. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of argueing, so you can keep this going if you want, I could truly care less.

[FmanFORPS3]

I wan’t to see the remote/controller having at least two ports, instead of just one. That way, you can hook up the analog stick, and also at the same time hook up maybe a headset/microphone (if it’s not wireless, which I don’t think it will be), or maybe attach two analog stick handles to play a game like Katamari Damaci.

[smitty61]

I wonder how they will plug it in and how they will do mutliplayer with it. If I could choose one accessory I would choose and part like virtual reality glasses so it would put me into the game. :D

What do you mean by plug it in its wireless too the console xDD, or do you mean the addon to the remote :?:

Thats the thing he probably well, so just end it by being the bigger person and just ignore him and you well feel better in the long run anyway =+) I feel ya too its hard not to flame xDD

Good news there will be a traditional controller attachment for the revolution, here is a mock-up done by IGN:

I think that's a wonderful mock-up that IGN made and would love for the actual attachment to look like that.

O.o I just realized that's a mockup xD I thought it was official *smacks head* Well it looks pretty nice for a mockup :)

[c.a.p]

I just found these two mock-up attachments online.
Here's a gun attachment:
http://home.comcast.net/~olsen31/Images/gun.jpg
And a steering wheel attachment:
http://home.comcast.net/~olsen31/Images/wheel2.jpg
I think they look pretty nice.

[DeputyDon]

the steering wheel looks awesome!! That could possibly be one of the best gaming wheels I've ever seen.

:shock: OMG, I'm starting to love this thing. I just realized all the possibilities of attachments that can be made to work with this thing. I still hate how the analog attachment with remote looks, but these other attachments make up for it.

I really hope these three attachments will actually go into production, cause if they do I just might have to think about getting me a revolution.

You have to remember, Nintendo didn't make these pics, they're just made by fans. But yes, it does look very cool indeed

[DeputyDon]

The steering wheel would probably look very similar.

Also if your going to quote someone for the post directly above you, can you not include the giant pictures so by the end of the first page it takes 4 minutes just to scroll to the bottom lol.

[spiderman]

the gun would be easy as it has the pointer thing already

[FmanFORPS3]

I think they should make a keyboard attachment, maybe something like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/FmanFORPS3/4976cdf4.jpg

[DJ AG aka Djag]

Damn those Mockups look sweet lol, I really hope the attachments that Nintendo make are slick looking like that if not better 8)


I think they should make a keyboard attachment, maybe something like this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/FmanFORPS3/4976cdf4.jpg

A keyboard attachment sounds like a cool idea but not a regular looking keyboard XD It would have to be a slick looking Nintendo keyboard, lets hope some fans make a mockup of one xD :lol:

[DeputyDon]

Im not sure if I would like a keyboard. If your using one hand, holding a remote-like-object in the air, moving it around. While trying to find the correct buttons on the keyboard it would be hard. I mean they probably will have a keyboard attachment so you could type online. Im wondering if possibly there will be something that allows you to connect two things at once. Like a keyboard and the Nunchuck thing so you don't have to switch if you wanted to talk to someone while playing a game online.

[smitty61]

I really like the gun attachment and the controller attachment. They will sell really well if priced right. I can't wait for my revolution. :D

[Nikorasu]

I definantly want to see these:
http://home.comcast.net/~olsen31/Images/gun.jpg
http://cubemedia.ign.com/cube/image/article/651/651559/understanding-the-revolution-controller-20050916041026412-000.jpg

You can just imagine all the other stuff that could come out. but they have to make attachments that are useful for multiple games, otherwise its not cost-efficiant. lol something like a mini fishing-rod might look neat for one game... but not serve much purpose when it comes to others... same could be said of a golf club attachment. XD

In general I think we'll see attachments like the analog stick, or controller... and most likely the gun and maybe a steering wheel. lol Games like shooters and racers are quite popular. ^_^;

[smitty61]

How do they attach the controller to the system and how do you play mutliplayer o nthe system? Are there mutli ports?

[homer]

Wow now that is just awesome. It would be awesome if you can buy seperate guns and stuff for games :D

[Nikorasu]

IGN sure likes guns a lot! o.o

XD Those would be neat... although I dont think they would be all that nessissary... those are purely cosmetic.

I still like the first one they designed the most! Nice and simple! ^_^;

[Lefein]

That gun attachment looks frikken awesome! Who would have thought that Nintendo would snatch the FPS crown from the PC?! Well, we'll have to see how everything handles, but the potential is startling!

Go Nintendo!

Star-gazer links together 8 PS3s to make his job a little bit easier, and a little bit cheaper.

What would you do with 8 PS3s? Have a LAN party? Make some cash off eBay? Or turn them into a hive mind capable of replacing your bog standard Cray II supercomputer? If you're Gaurav Khanna, you create a script to achieve the latter.

Apparently, Mr Khanna was able to obtain 200 times more data then with an 'ordinary' supercomputer. The Cell is exceptionally good at handling this sort of small, one off data requests, as shown with crazy floating point operations currently being achieved by Folding@Home users.

Mr Khanna had this to say; “I don't have to use that supercomputer anymore, which is a good thing." While one PS3 costs $500, a single supercomputer can cost $5000. The cost of eight PS3s is incredibly negligible compared to the massive cost of traditional supercomputers.â€
