Nope, you lost me at the tacked-on RPG battles.

That shit is mad conflicting with the metroidvania styled gameplay they opened with. I love a good RPG, and I'm sure they could make one, but they are trying to make a hybrid game where one of the parents is a hybrid to begin with. You may as well remove that 1/4ths action-platformer aspect from the game, because it doesn't add much.

This would be like adding jRPGbattles to SotN. Just, fuckin no, man. Don't advertise actionRPG in the form of metroidvania and bait and switch in some jRPG battles into it.

To all followers and contributors:

We have had to put the VirtuaDolls campaign on hold temporarily so we can sort out a few issues that have arisen since the campaign launch. We did not expect such a huge response and need to better prepare both the device and our capabilities for distribution.

We are incredibly sorry for this delay. Rest assured we will be back with a lower-priced unit that provides an even better experience than displayed in this campaign. You may even see a few more of our ridiculous animated gifs on the next campaign.

Be sure to follow our twitter @VirtuaDolls to stay up to date on the latest developments.

tl;dr we were just fucking around but people actually took it seriously, so now we need to think of a way to actually make this happen and make tons of money off of it.

There have been several crowdfunded products that had far too much initial attention and because of it had difficulty delivering that quantity.

This is not an uncommon problem in small business, where the demand is simply too much for your ability to supply. It's better for business to simply meet quota than to overcome quota to where you're constantly out of stock.

When people say "blackjack and hookers", this isn't usually what they mean.

As someone who has been wanting a successor to Sim Ant, this is rather unfortunate. :C

Nintendo 64 Anthology Aims To Be The Ultimate Resource For Fans

Quote:
 
The N64 turns 20 this year and is regarded as one of Nintendo's finest machines, not only because it pushed technological boundaries and introduced numerous innovations, but also because it was home to some of the best games in the company's library.

Author and fan Mathieu Manent is working with French publisher Geeks-Line to produce what promises to be the definitive book on the console. Boasting exclusive interviews (including one with Eric Caen of Titus, which made Superman - widely considered to be one of the worst games in existence) collector's guides, game information and much more besides, Nintendo 64 Anthology is over 370 pages of N64 goodness, and can be supported via its Kickstarter campaign.

50,000 Euros is the goal - will you be pledging to see this book become a solid reality? Let us know by posting a comment below.

It reached it's initial goal within 3 hours and they're having trouble keeping up with new pledge goals.

John Romero and Adrian Carmack, the creators of Doom and basically, the FPS genre, set up a Kickstarter for a new FPS called Blackroom a few days ago. The project was "put on pause" a few hours ago, with them citing they want to work on a playable demo before continuing it.


Also, here's the Kickstarter page for the new, independently developed Fear Effect game.

While I'll always be side-eye-y of big-name devs on Kickstarter thanks to Mighty No, I still have to respect for Romero for deciding to wait until we have a demo before starting his KS.

It's more than we can hope for from Inafuckhead.

Romero and Carmack haven't been big name in eons though. It's nice that they can rise from the ashes by doing something like this. Maybe we'll go back to having fun FPSes again.

Yeah, they really haven't been the same since Daikatana, all things said. Rage was looking like their big comeback at first, but the controversy with the PC port hit them back down again.

...speaking of Daikatana, this whole theme-hopping thing they've got going on is looking eerily familiar.
