You should ask him how he feels now @Damo , I wonder if his opinion is different? 🤔
@PopetheRev28 Part of the problem with that is the continuous support for DVDs. Imagine keeping VHS tapes going. People need to be moved onto blu-rays and 4Ks. SD on disc is pointless today.
Yeah I was sure he didn't know what he was talking about. A lot of 3DO IP's are tied up with other companies so it seems pointless in trying to revive something that costs too much.
Oh well, at least we can get that remaster of that hidden gem Sheep. 😆
I'm sorry but the whole thing feels hypocritical. He wants to detox people away from modern tech yet uses Gen AI every chance he can get. Again as with all these people pro and detractors all I ask for is consistency! 🤦♂️
I think this guy is way in over his head. He doesn't really understand the logistics of what he's selling. The 3DO identity will most likely get buried anyway.
Seems like they put the cart before the horse. They have next to nothing and fake placeholder awards don't help. 3DO definitely needs a new lease of life though. 🤔
" This suggests that if what he is telling me is true, he is either the most humble man alive or he likely operated with a cloak and dagger, behaving more secretively than some major governments."
Third reason: the games haven't been added to MobyGames yet.
"Şekercigil, for instance, tells me that it is currently in "active negotiations for one of the major, historic 3DO properties" and that "several lesser-known companies and independent individuals contacted us, stating they hold certain niche 3DO copyrights and wish to discuss licensing.""
In other words...Piko Interactive. 😪
@tektite_captain He isn't planning on bringing out an emulation console.
@Razieluigi 3DO was good though. It had potential.
See, this is what more of these collections should be doing. Adding unreleased games as part of their collections. Don't put two games in a bundle and call it a collection. 🤦♂️
@Blast16 The different styles of gameplay for each of the games were presented in a unique way. The No Fate as I said before is very much a stereotype of what you'd expect a licenced T2 game to be.
@AnonUser "while I can't say I have played past terminator games etc, I can't see something topping that overall as it does the old-school 2D type of game it is well."
I think that is where you need to do more research. The other games while flawed had more interesting stuff going on.
@PopetheRev28 The day they stop including Denuvo will be heaven. Unfortunately last time I checked companies like Sega still include it on their games.
@mjparker77 I mean it's okay for us to have the same opinion on stuff. I won't always disagree with you. 😂
The game just comes across like a stereotype of what you would imagine a licenced game for T2 to be which on the surface isn't a bad idea but the execution is just dull. The ambition was there but it didn't go in the correct direction.
@Quick_Man CD32 had promise and potential but I agree the 600 and Commodore 65 were pointless, the former of which was Medhi Ali's one of many bad decisions.
@Jimgamer8 Not just nostalgia. There were things not to like about the tie-in games but they were more interesting in what they tried to do. When I look at the hyped T2 No Fate it feels like a lot of missed opportunities.
@Fanboy_Destroyer Not sure what you're going on about. I mean since the resurrection of Commodore people like myself have been wanting a new Amiga. The C64 sales show there's a market for more Commodore and a new Amiga would sell out immediately.

Re: Limited Run's Co-Founder Once Had Aspirations To Make A "Physically-Focused Platform"
He built his company on giving scalpers business and selling shoddy products for high prices. He may have contributed to physical media's downfall. 🤔

You could do worse than release a compilation of the games for modern platforms. My old SNK Playmore copy has horrible DRM attached.

I'm sure LRG and DE will end up doing a compilation of these games.
Re: "We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone'
@Simon-Butler It just seems like you hold a grudge against any YouTuber who earns money from their channel.
The list is long and for some weird reason you only focus on British YouTubers. 🤔
Re: "We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone'
@Quick_Man Kind of is. By not providing a physical copy they're not exactly being reliable are they?
Re: "Embarrassing" - These $100 Sonic Re-Releases Aren't Going Down Well With Fans
A realistic price for a PAL copy is £10.
@BellaGoth You can see why Sonic Origins is a lazy cash grab then.
@Sketcz "Why, WHY would a company, when chatting with Sega about a license for a game, choose to license Sonic 1?"
It's Sonic's birthday and Sega aren't feeling particularly creative that's why.
Re: "We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone'
Price is still too high. I couldn't buy one anyway but if I did I think the price should be lower for what it is.
@Simon-Butler I know you don't like YouTubers but the Amiga announcement was made a few weeks before the phone dude. 😆
@Quick_Man "At least GTA6 is a product that you can trust will be a good video game with lots of work put in over the span of a decade, y'know?"
Not sure I'd be so quick to defend Rockstar.

Re: "There Is Light At The End Of The Tunnel, At Last" - Commodore Might Be Reunited With The Amiga Soon
Early days yet. It could take a few years but if they can get Amiga back Commodore can succeed long term. 👍
@Neotext Why?
@Fanboy_Destroyer Something similar to the ZX Spectrum Next would be great. We need a proper Amiga release and not these mini consoles.
