Have any of you seen the Revolution's Controller!?
Here's A Link to it.

What the fuck are they thinking!!! I heard a rumor about there being a Zelda and Super Smash Bros. titles on the Revolution and I thought to myself, "That's great! I love those games." but then I see the controller and I say FUCK IT! I used to love you Nintendo, what the hell happened?
Moving on...
I keep telling myself to say this but I'm not all that sure how others will react to it but then I thought why the hell should I care what others think? So I'm just gonna say it.
Have you noticed that ever since Grand Theft Auto III there have been a lot of other games that take inspiration from it and people bitch about it being a rip off? I don't think of it that way. Because with more and more of them coming out it's more so like the start of a new genre. In fact in ten or so years from now that's probably exactly how people will look at it.
Let me give an example of what I mean...
Years ago someone decided to do something new and make a game completely in First-Person View. It was innovative and fresh.
But others liked the idea and so they too made games looking through the eyes of the character and thus we have the FPS genre.
Here's another example...
Though I'm not sure if it was the first Pen and Paper RPG there is a thing that started years ago called "Dungeons and Dragons" or "D&D" for short. Obviously someone really liked those Pen and Paper RPGs and so made a game that played somewhat like them minus the tedious stat planning thing. People played the RPG video game or played "D&D" and had similar thoughts and now we have the RPG genre with games like "Final Fantasy" and "Xenosaga."
So I think within years the GTA inspiration will probably become a new genre. There I said it...
Of course if you don't agree that's perfectly fine.
