Tommy Tollarico Talks About Revolution Controller

Tommy Tollarico, joke character on Judgement Day and co-host of Electric Playground, recently went to the THQ Press Briefing and saw the Revolution Controller in action. What was it running? A Spongebob Squarepants game. Here is what he said:

“Rev Controller was interesting but it didn’t totally blow me away as some were expecting. Need to see more games for it I guess. It was running the new SpongeBob game from THQ. The coolest part was that the controller could be used it different ways for different gameplay mechanics and levels. For example, sometimes you would turn it on it’s side as use it as a steering wheel. Other times you held it upright and used it like a flight stick. And another time you could use it like a hammer or pick-axe to destroy stuff. The game itself was running off the GameCube (with the Rev Controller) so I can’t really comment on the graphics… they looked like an old GameCube game.”

Interestingly, it seems THQ is not developing the graphics for their game just yet. Or maybe their Revolution game isn’t Spongebob and they just used it as a demo? Hopefully the latter is true and we’ll see an interesting new IP from THQ.
