racerx Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I believe all three of the events I listed had the quality of providing the appearance of a public debut while allowing the scamsters to filter out questions from people who knew what they were talking about. Like showing off your non-functional models not actually at GDC, but at the hotel across the street? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I like to call him the deadbeat dad of the Xbox ...he likes to talk about how he was part of the original design team, but he doesn't talk about how he bailed/was fired before the thing launched. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed everyone was well past that thought process by now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Oh brother, not the "it's not a real console if it uses some PC-like parts" thing again. I assumed everyone was well past that thought process by now. no its nothing like that its "lets make a real console out of PC parts with a darn near unlimited cash supply and do quite well at it", which was super interesting in 1999 not so much in 2018 when the playing field is pretty much on par remember when the xbox and 360 launched it was pretty hard to meet system spec's to the at the time PC's for the price ... atari has the exact opposite problem, they want a good chunk of cash for a several year old PC platform that could be had by a laptop for 100 bucks less, or beaten a walmart low end desktop for 100 more and yes we all know you lub your 8051 integrated into a blah blah blah into a chip ... they suck but try to keep up bill Edited December 27, 2018 by Osgeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaysWithWolves Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 True. And to backers during the campaign it was like Daddy just showed up at Christmas with a brand new Xbox. I like to call him the deadbeat dad of the Xbox ...he likes to talk about how he was part of the original design team, but he doesn't talk about how he bailed/was fired before the thing launched.
