@slider1983 they literally haven't done that, it's not going to magically appear over 5 years after it was meant to come out, when they've since sold all of their IP, including half of the launch games, and had their furniture repossessed
@slider1983 that console they haven't made, have no money to make, have no games left to put on it and nobody would buy? In an ideal world I'd love for them to pay back all the people they've taken money off, unfortunately back in the real world that will never happen, nor will this console ever exist
@slider1983 people like myself? It wasn't me who took millions of dollars of other people's money and delivered absolutely nothing. So yes I will happily criticise them either way because they fully deserve it
@slider1983 they knew full well at the last round of crowdfunding that they had no chance of delivering the product and they never got remotely close to releasing anything.
All they have sold is the rights to most of their games and their only selling point with the Intellivision brand and have limped on with that Amico home app which has a few thousand downloads and nobody is buying garbage like Cornhole in any significant numbers.
Quite why anyone believes a word these chancers say in 2025 is beyond me, when we've had half a decade of nonsense from them
@slider1983 it certainly started out as a legitimate project but it very much became a scam when they realised a long time ago that they couldn't deliver but still kept asking for money. It wasn't bad luck, they just had no clue what they were doing and had Tommy making stuff up.
If they do have a few employees, I'd be curious how they're paying them given they don't sell anything
What, Tommy and Phil Adam? 😂😂😂 Nobody has worked their for years and that thing will never see the light of day.
They don't even employee anyone to remove the Intellivision name from their app that nobody downloaded. Do they have to pretend the product is still coming so they avoid going to jail for scamming so many people?
My main concern with such a solution would be input lag.
Personally I loved the Wii U and it's still funny to me how Sony released the PS Portal all these years later and its nowhere near as good as the Gamepad was
'Yeah, no third party’s ever going to touch any Nintendo stuff, ever'
That sentence alone makes no sense in a world where Capcom have made multiple Zelda games, Ubisoft had access to Mario and Donkey Kong for the Rabbids games, Sega made the best F-Zero and they've just shown off the Switch 2 with yet another Zelda Warriors game made by Koei Tecmo but apparently James Bond (which they themselves licenced) is where Nintendo draws the line 😂😂😂
I don't even know who this other bloke is but between him and that washed up Portuguese footballer, this only turns me off the game. As added dlc down the line it may not be so bad, similar to Mortal Kombat but they shouldn't be part of the main roster
I'll never understand why they just don't include more games on these compilations but another issue is on Playstation, there is only a PS5 version. Which means that because of Sonys stupidity (greed), my arcade stick won't work on it
And as this is PS5 only (not PS4), I'll have to buy it on Switch due to Sony nonsense about controllers, such as my arcade stick not working on PS5 games.
Looks like a great collection though and I'm looking forward to playing the new game
It's not just Americans who do this. Without mentioning any names (Triplejump) I've seen British based YouTube channels who have no idea about gaming history over here. That channel I totally didn't name put up a video about the last gane releases for Master System and they included such late entries like Sonic 1
@Razieluigi I'm with you, whilst it seems like a nice feature, I can't think of any reason why I'd do this instead of simply having all the games I want already on an SD card
As pointed out, the PS1 felt very slow compared to what we were used to at the time and even today, my modern OLED feels very sluggish when switching inputs or reacting to a console being turned on
That people gave this guy money in the first place, well except for Slopes who was the last person on the planet not called Tommy, who thought the Amico was going to come out
Sega are the reason I got into gaming and they're still a huge part of my gaming these days between the Yakuza games and Sonic Frontiers/Shadow Generations. That said I'd love them to spread out a bit more like they used to and perhaps the upcoming Crazy Taxi, Shinobi etc as well as the newly announced Virtua Fighter is their route to doing just that
Not surprising given the market, still better than IGN's list though.
Thinking about it, I can't think of a single PS5 only game that I'd put in the top 30 Playstation games but from those on that list, I'd put Resident Evil 2 over the original, the 1st is iconic and still a good game but RE2 is much better in every way. FFVIII is my own personal favourite of that PS1 trilogy and I much preferred Metal Gear Solid 2 over 3. I'd also have Ridge Racer V or Type 4 over the original and for Gran Turismo, I'd be choosing GT3
The latency is noticeable to me but not to the point where it would stop me playing most of the games, although R-Type and Wild Guns don't feel good to play. It's certainly not on the level of the Megadrive collection on Switch, which is simply unplayable to me. That said I do tend to play my retro games on my PC where they feel much better to play and largely indistinguishable from the real thing.
If anything, the joy cons stop me from playing such games in portable mode, more so than the latency
Unfortunately this has the been the state of YouTube and others for years, who are all too eager to rely heavily on technology to do their jobs and then blatantly lie that people have actually being involved. I've long since lost count with how many times I've seen that copy and pasted response to issues like this or the rampant fake copyright abuse.
I've had a similar issue with Facebook recently which simply won't let me make a new account (my old one long deleted). Every time I try it immediately says I've broken community guidelines and then upon appeal (which they claim a human looks at it, spoiler they don't), my appeal is rejected in an exact amount of time that never changes and it never gives me a reason
It's kind of crazy how they were able to do that back then, there's no chance that would be allowed in a modern game without at least one of those companies calling their lawyers
You can literally see the front USB traces connecting to the rear USB port and the Xbox controller powers up and selects player one before he even turns the console on.
This is great news, I've just preordered one for Q125 and whilst I don't use an ODE currently, I've got enough games for VMU swapping to be an issue. I've also seen the video showing VMU support for Flycast
I completely disagree with him here, I think many of the early 3D fighting games still look fantastic and in some ways more visually appealing then modern ones can look as they clutter the screen with effects. The early Tekken games still look nice, as does Virtua Fighter 2 and Dead or Alive 2 is another looker.
If anything I actually play these earlier games more as I find them more enjoyable to play
Well if he is it should boost sales dramatically, as you'll have his fans that'll want to play as him and then people like me who'll be happy to beat the **** out of him 😂
These idiots just make stuff up and these look bloody awful. In what world is this slop going to magically make RT less expensive to use? It would have idea whatsoever what is off screen and would never work
I stupidly didn't notice the Game Gear option on the last one but overall pretty pleased with a score of 22. Just the Wonderswan and Gamate that I didn't know.
One of my favourite games for the N64, the music and gameplay variety was fantastic and I've enjoyed revisiting it with the recent PC port. We need this on NSO
Well that's interesting, I've played Star Fox at a near perfect 60fps on a special build of SNES9X and whilst I don't expect this to hit that target, it should be a nice boost
I like the new design, it's much more realistic. I always thought the Perfect Dark Zero design looked silly but the original was pretty good. More importantly the game is looking very promising and it's first person so you won't be seeing her much anyway.
In any case, where's the Doom guy comparison articles?
Smart of Atari to keep away from that nonsense that is the Amico.
Also let's be honest, that will never see a commercial release, it's digital only with no way of distributing games, they no longer own any games, they have no money to build the thing and they have huge debts, one of which is tied to per unit sales of it should it ever come out.
Amico Home on the Play Store shows only 1K+ downloads, so overall they have no money, no games, no staff and no market
I've been using Nvidia's RTX HDR to great effect already, Luigis Mansion and Star Wars Rogue Leader are pretty spectacular with it on, still nice to see official support though
I don't buy their excuse, there's nothing unique about about a 3DO disc and even if they were having issues, well first of all why aren't you checking you can make them before trying to sell them? Secondly they should have communicated this to customers in the year between taking their money and shipping some CD-R's and offered refunds
