I really hope that's not Tommy Tellarico.

Am I the only person who wants movies to stay the way they are now? I keep hearing about this "3D Star Wars re-release" and all the other stuff, and I'm just wondering, is there a problem witht he way movies currently are?

**Jeremy** · 26 Apr 2005, 08:26 PM

No, there's no need for it. They're just meddling with something that works. It reminds me of colorizing "classic" movies.

Black and white movies with no sound were fine. Fuck technology.

In 20 years kids will watch 3D flicks and you'll sit there bitching like an old, old man =P

Dunno if that is really true but that's what he told IGN eons ago back in 2001.

Agreed. I would think it would only take two or three first party AAA's at lauch or within 6 months of launch to put Nintendo back in the console race.

When is Victor going to join?

Yeah, that's not the same. Color and sound could be properly done on 2D film. 3D cannot.

When we get to the day that you can plug in, and see the movie unfold before you as if you are watching real life - or, even better, it is virtual reality and you are the star of the movie - then great, bring on technology. Don't try to shoehorn one visual medium atop another that cannot properly present it.

But either way, when that day comes, I'll enjoy that stuff, but I'll also still enjoy my 2D color talkies.

See, this is why you can make fun of Nintendo. Megaton asininity.

Mock-up put up by somebody... IGN?

Anyhow, don't take my posting this to say that I believe this, because I don't. I do think it brings up some interesting ideas, though. I wonder if a touchpad like this would actually be a workable thing at this point. The last attempt was, what, the Turbo Touch for the NES? If it worked, it could be interesting, and possibly easier on the thumb. On the other hand, it would offer no resistance like an analog stick, and wouldn't have that center snap-back like an analog stick.

And I dunno, the design is actually kind of interesting.
