Amstari Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 This campaign is like a 12-year-old boy's idea of how to launch a dream console. In 1982. Even a 12 year old would do a much better job. They would use their imagination and design something new, even if they got carried away and designed something impossible like a 16 billion bit console that projects holograms it would still be an original idea unlike the Chameleon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) What happened to the Nostalgia Super High Impact Technology episodes? I was expecting a couple of new ones. Like one were he just sobs in a corner, one where he simply keeps pressing delete on FB posts etc....etc.... sure there's enough material.

Vormund Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 WTH is up with that guy. I can't tell if it's meant to be unfunny satire, or if he's a moron. Poe's law and all that. I'm going to go with....Moron. He doesn't even correctly follow what people are complaining about. Which is a bit like the RVGS team... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: like a Nostalgia Super High Impact Technology 2: The Ultimate Reborn Denial The funny thing is, you could re-run the original parody videos from ~5 months ago, and the humor applies to the Kickstarter campaign just as well as it did to the IndieGoGo campaign.

toiletunes Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The reward tier announcements stopped abruptly, right about the same time the "It's not just a SNEZ, just you wait" BS started. You'd think if they knew what the tiers were going to be, they'd keep announcing- just to keep us distracted from SNEZGate. It really really looks like they have NO idea what they're doing from one day to the next. They're just making $#@% up as they go. PS, 100 pages, woot! I LIKE TURTLES soon I will reveal my console design... It will make you Implode! Or something, no really, just you wait... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Nick Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) The suspense for the KS is killing me, but I'm still managing to stay cool without a fan... Actually, I kinda like the idea of a Jaguar clone, with homebrew carts getting massed produced. That sytem would actually............have a reason to exist.

Vormund Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yeah I'd be on board if it was simply a new run of Jaguar consoles. (with Pro Controllers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+madman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 They couldn't even wire up one LED, how do you think that would be pulled off? Same way they'll pull the rest of this off, "Just wait until the kick starter..." Simple as that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 If only a company was making translucent Jaguar shells so that the Chameleon electronics could be seen but not disturbed ... Among all the dog pile lolz here (which I'm enjoying), this is hilarious but also an excellent point. If there really was a prototype inside that Jag shell, the clear shell would've been a perfect way to show it's the real deal without having to take anything apart. There isn't going to be any custom/proprietary hardware inside, so what harm would there have been? I think many of us pointed this out when the RVGS prototype video hit where the shell was covered up as well. Showing us what FPGA they're using isn't giving any IP away, the IP is in the core(s). None of this adds up to a legit prototype, including what others have said about generating a composite signal off an FPGA. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 The debuffer is back and now says it's okay for us to question what is inside the prototype: Is this a picture of your towel prototype for a Kickstarter? I'm already throwing money at my screen. WTH is up with that guy. I can't tell if it's meant to be unfunny satire, or if he's a moron. Poe's law and all that. I honestly don't know what to believe. I'm betting on parody right now. Just look at the sunglasses and windbreaker jacket over his former shirt and tie. He no longer looks like a well groomed young man dressed for a job interview, but a bratty cyber punk. And that hairy man in the photo needs to just pull the trigger and put his ballz out of misery. Seriously, eww... PS hooray for 100 pages. We are now halfway to beating the original thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsdee Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 You are assuming they have a clue about hardware, which they obviously don't. Perhaps they're being criticised from all sides (private investors, developers, consumers/KS backers) and don't have a strong vision to defend (other than Carts!!), so they end up burned whatever they do. Not defending them, I just think they have a flawed business model (bring cart monopoly back) and it translates to misguided decisions irrelevant to everybody. Including not paying attention to hardware in a market flooded with devices that can do the same or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlegamer Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Course these yahoos didn't bother to take a lenghts of wire and a resistor to have a power led, which actually kind of started this "hey what are they trying to pull here" in depth look 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike and Co. have learned nothing. I miss those! That second one is my favorite. "I mean, take, for example, the threads over at Atariage. You guys are a bunch of whiny 50-somethings, okay. Quite frankly, I don't need you--I don't need you to market a nostalgia-based retro-console aimed at a niche demographic with lots of disposable income. So you guys can go screw yourselves." It points out perhaps the funniest part of this whole mess. That probably half the people in the world even slightly interested in hearing more about this system are ragging on it in this thread.

It took all of five minutes for "experts" to identify the fake prototype board. I LIKE TURTLES This. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
