JP, just because Metroid had an independent targeting system doesn't mean that all revolution FPS's will. This is a design choice and has nothing to do with hardware.

That is nothing like how a FPS will look on a rev, for one there is no fixed cursor in the initial revo FPS setup. It is like metroid DS with a totally independant camera, and an independant cursor/sight.

I remember seeing this when it was first shown. The guy simply took a one-handed PS1 controller and a Gyration mouse to form a crude mock-up. The reason why he had to fling it back and forth so many times is because the mouse only tracks movement when a button is held down on it, so in essence it's no different than a regular mouse. But it's still a neat representation. By the way, for 15 or so media outlets that got a chance to demo the real Revolution controller, all of them were saying that it could rival or surpass the wasd/mouse setup. Some of that group included people who said the mouse and keyboard was superior to the console controller.

Keyboard mouse would win. There's not even any question about that...

What I would really like to see, when its possible - is an FPS deathmatch between the XB 360 controller, keyboard/mouse, and the Revolution controller. That would be very interesting to watch. Maybe then we could finally lay to rest all the arguments.

Nevermind. I just read the posted thread. None of it is on a Revolution.

The only strange thing about it is that it looked like he wasn't even using the Revolution controller to turn and point. He was flicking around the black thing in his right hand and moving stepping and switching weapons with the left, using the controller. I'm confused.
