Austin, do yourself a big favor and find critical reviews. Universal low marks and talk about how abysmal the engine is. Everybody notes that the concept is cool, and it is, but that getting there by grafting a spreadsheet to a nigh unplayable FPS is not. Make no mistake, put this on your shelf and ...

The Daily Wrath
I have nothing against fat people, but if they openly insult you they should really be able to handle being called Two-Dinner. Getting some of the store stock back now and the PS3/360/certain PSP items aren't here. Hopefully misplaced, but the rage is on standby. I kept the new 360 games in a folder...

Paid five bucks for it and still felt ripped off. The terrain was a soupy mess of mediocre 3D repeat tiles, the gameplay sulked somewhere below adequacy, and the objectives were cleverly hidden from the player... what they were as well as where. This turned the game into some Mad Max fuel-rationing ...

20-30 AAA titles. 20-30 system sellers. Not even in Japan, but dare to dream. EDIT: AAA means a game that can push tin on its own merits due to near universal appeal within its genre. It's NOT just stuff YOU like. I think Battlesport should sell systems, it's an awesome game. It didn't, so it ain't ...

Studio 3DO releases together because that's probably how they'd need to be marketed to push consoles. As for Flashback and EA Sports, they were too saturated on consoles people already owned. I even debated taking SC2 off the list, but as an exclusive and cult hit kept it. So notice that there are o...

If 3DO had bundled SSF2T with the console they would have had a stampede of customers. Also they'd probably go bankrupt, but no plan is perfect. Okay, let's look at games that might be system sellers with the right push: NFS Road Rash Samurai Shodown Star Control 2 Studio 3DO releases as a whole I a...

3DO Kid and NikeX said it best. I should have said system sellers. I never played NFS (Not a racing fan until Gran Turismo's insane detail levels let me drive and tweak old musclers in lurid detail) but I thought NFS was surely a big title? Okay, being brutal and using the unreliable brain 'o mine, ...

Oh right... I forgot to register my staff for E3... The problem with the Wii, from a retail POV, is that it's backslid to the hardcore Nintendo faithful and those precious "casual gamers" that make up the bulk. Problem: The casuals are still all playing Wii Sports with a side of having forgotten the...

To your question I say no, pushing a game console as anything but is like taking a long time to burn your money. The average consumer is there for the games, which I believe the 3DO lived and died on. A few gems, but not worth it for all the crap to sift through. Of the AAA titles I owned, I saw eac...

that needed more time for devs to learn (the best of them need time. Look at early PS2 games next to Jak 3 or God Hand. That's what's sad about DirectX, you've seen 98% of the potential on day 3 because it's so unambitious.) Look, I loved WC3, but the game parts were pretty weak next to the 3DO titl...

NikeX (and the discussion, ideally) is focusing on why the system flopped, consumers and investors being wildly different beasts here. But to address that, the 3DO was not some wildly new kind of device. It took a bunch of pre-existing functions and put them together, rather than inventing a single ...
