Ontwikkelaars en uitgevers over Revo-Controller

Terwijl iedereen in de loop van de nacht en ochtend de Revo-controller heeft gezien, hebben ook verschillende developers en publishers hun mening gegeven. Enthousiasme aan de ene kant, verbijstering en twijfels aan de andere kant. Nog lang niet iedereen is overtuigd en zeker van de nieuwe Revolution controller, twijfels die hopelijk in de komende dagen, weken en maanden zullen veranderen in zekerheid, wanneer Nintendo meer informatie vrijgeeft zoals ingame trailers en demo's die een duidelijk beeld geven van de nieuwe controller. Een aantal mensen uit de industrie gaven inmiddels ook hun mening over de controller van Nintendo's nieuwe paradepaardje, hieronder een opsomming: "The feeling is so natural and real, as soon as players use the controller, their minds will spin with the possibilities of how this will change gaming as we know it today," aldus de grote man van Nintendo, Satoru Iwata."This is an extremely exciting innovation - one that will thrill current players and entice new ones." "Nintendo has long been a trailblazer, and this controller design reinforces that reputation," zegt Brian Farrell, president en CEO van THQ. "We enthusiastically support Nintendo's next console because we believe their approach of continual innovation is very much in line with our own strategy of creating unique and innovative games for the next generation of hardware." "What we're seeing from this controller is the same thing we saw with Nintendo DS," zei Chuck Huebner, Activision. "It's a system that's designed with an eye on enticing new players to the video game industry, and that's something we firmly support." "Game control is essential - it's the area where perhaps the most game-play improvement can be made," aldus John Schappert, Sr. Vice President en General Manager van Electronic Arts Canada. "While our portfolio represents a full array of titles across all genres, I think our sports titles might be the first to immediately take advantage of what this novel 'freehand' type of control has to offer." En om de serie met impressies van verscheidende publishers en developers af te sluiten: Serge Hascoet, Chief Creative Officer van Ubisoft aan het woord. "We were among the first publishers to see the control design in action. We're excited about the new controller and are looking forward to taking advantage of its innovative aspects."
