The Article

I have taken the liberty to help this article out as much as I can. I went to the site, gathered specifications, and made the article a bit more like an encyclopedia. Feel free to help out. --CanesOL79 05:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks for the help man, I was gonna finish off the article last night but I was too tired so I thought I would do it in the morning and then I saw someone had pretty much finished it.

The last section needs to be formatted more, and you should use templates instead of writing a disclaimer at the beginning--TimD 05:22, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. While I've been an editor for a long time, I'm unfamiliar with all that Wikipedia's editing tools has to offer. I'm still trying to find out more about this thing. --CanesOL79 02:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

this thing is going to be KILLED by the PS3 and the Wii. No one even gives a %^$& about this piece of crap. Can you say commercial trainwreck? And, if they start getting prettier games, maybe even the 360. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.31.47.161 (talk • contribs) .

Wikipedia is not for personal options, discuss the console on an appropriate site, discussion here to for improving the article.SwK 00:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a dedicated console, its pretty much a home enterntainment system, the PS3 says it is aswell but Evo actually does it! --Elven6 19:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Remove 7th Gen link?

It's not a console, so why is it linking to 7th generation consoles?vortex 22:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

how is it not a console? Jt 200075 00:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah?! Do NOT remove the link! It should be mentioned in the 7th gen article in some capacity!--Hemto 06:22, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a console because it's just a Windows MCE machine like any from Dell/HP/Acer etc... The games are just Widnows games and it's not a seperate platform. It's also not a console because the 7th gen editors removed it (after deciding it didn't qualify), which also means that the link is invalid anyhow.vortex 23:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It should then be given its own category as its being presented as if it's a console. Both this and the Hyperscan deserve to be listed, maybe as Other or something, but they are video game systems of sorts being released during the Seventh Generation and so should at least be taken into consideration. The Hyperscan being made by Mattel which had FOUR Intellivision systems is also a part of video game history for that reason alone. The technology does not necessarily equal the era. Best, --172.131.28.132 01:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not debating the Hyperscan is a console, even a 7th gen console (though it does look a bit silly next to XB360 and PS3). However I don't see how a Windows PC running windows games can be considered a console... There is also the issue that if the Evo is considered a console, then ANY PC running MCE will automaticaly be included and before you know whats going on all PCs and Macs have been added as consoles.vortex 01:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a console by any means. The official website defines it as a PC on its index page. --66.253.219.119 22:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This thing seems very dubious to me, the spec's alone are weak and they will have trouble playing any of today's games with remotely decent settings. I have to agree that this thing doesn't belong in the console section or related to consoles in any way. It requires prior computer knowledge including windows. For this reason, in my opinion, this is NOT a console, it is a PC with a control pad in the shape of a chunky box that i thought was from the 1980's.

If this had specialised software that allowed for a game to be loaded in and played right off the bat, then MAYBE it would be a console (as far as i know that would not be possible). It seems that the games would require installation like any other PC game as well as driver updates, windows updates, and other PC related maintenance. The PSX rip-off control pad is pretty much useless because PC games mostly use qa keyboard and mouse, sometimes a joystick. Using a control pad would require calibration or at least selection in Windows (something a console doesn't require), and you would have to change the settings in a game for a control pad to work, however limited it would be.

PC games and consoles DON'T mix, PC games are made for PC's with different hardware, that's the beauty of it. Consoles use the same hardware and the games don't need installation or driver updates. Sticking a Playstation rip-off control pad in a PC doesn't make it a console.

Someone should change the entry, it seems the console isn't even out yet?

is or to be

Evo: Phase One is a video game console in the seventh generation to be a 'forthcoming Media Center PC with gaming compatibility to be produced by Envizions Computer Entertainment and released on October 20, 2006.

Picture

Why was the new picture that was just uploaded today deleted? Is it going to be replaced, because the picture just deleted was the new design. --star788 17:00, 30 October 2008

Follow-up device - GameBox

They're now talking about the GameBox [1]. --trevj (talk) 20:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Company appears defunct.

Is is appropriate to remove future-looking sections from the article? I did so and was reverted, so am seeking input.

Since the end of the previous AfD talks, they pulled down all info. There appears to be an end date listed, somewhat like an obituary. All the pages that had previously existed that talked about upcoming products have been scrubbed. -Kai445 (talk) 20:50, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, it appears back up. -Kai445 (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
