Commodore USA to Release Updated Commodore 64

Gizmag.com reports:

Commodore USA has just announced that it has reached a licensing agreement that will allow it to produce a full line of new Commodore branded All-in-One (AIO) keyboard computers and intends to start selling an exact replica of the original beige chassis C64. Cue some misty eyed reminiscing from a large part of our readership.

waste of funds right here

Edit
times have changed and many build their own gaming rigs...

commodore645006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

No way.

Commodore64 was, is and will always remain... a legend amongst real gamers.
Millions of gamers got their gamer fix on the c64, a decade prior to the ps1.

Any gamer worth his salt will know that the c64 takes its place in gaming history among the atari 2600 http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/cla... and colecovison http://www.shytomonline.com...

A new c64?
I say... simply awesome.

@ commodore64 Hells yeah bra! I can't count the hours me and my bro spent on our 64 playing games. It's good to see some love being brought back to some of the starters!

The Amiga 1200 with the Motorola 68060 was my personal favorite from Commodore, although obviously it was released much later.

JoeReno5005d ago (Edited 5005d ago )

For those of us that remember the C64. Hell, my Commodore monitor still works. The computer broke long long ago, but I knew i hung on to the monitor for a reason. The again I still have my vic20 aswell.

If you bring back classics true gamers will buy it! That's why people on ebay are still buying the 8 bit NIN and it's games!

I would have been perfectly happy with an exact replica of the original. Seriously. Some Lode Runner or Impossible Mission in their 8-bit glory would have been right up my alley.

jakethesnake5003d ago

What I wouldn't give to play me some impossible mission!

MGRogue20175005d ago (Edited 5005d ago )

Commodore USA doesn't want to move into the modern era.. They miss the old days & in doing so have shown support for their product here.. Awww :(

Question is, Is there anyone out there who still love to play this old toy??

Why market something that isn't designed to be sold?

This has GP rental written all over it.

Tacoboto41m ago

They just posted a 20+ minute video about Psychosis and how the game portrays that through Senua.

Regardless of what Microsoft is doing (retweeting Ninja Theory is about as low effort as it gets, and Dashboard Dynamic Themes should've come months ago), Ninja Theory themselves are at least trying.

It's sad though. That new video was a really good behind-the-scenes too, and it just came at such a bad time.

Tankbusta4037m ago

How much marketing do games really need these days? People that play games know when its coming out. I really think the days of the constant tv ad etc are going the way of the Dodo. What scares me more is the lack of "previews" on big video game websites, it only got a few on April 4th and then nothing since.

RNTody10m ago(Edited 10m ago)

Wow Tankbusta40 how out of touch with reality can you be, mate. Do you think companies are insane to spend millions on having giant billboards for big releases and TV adverts and superbowl slots and round the clock PR and interviews? Most of the people who buy games aren't on gaming forums like these knowing the exact release dates!

This isn't being marketed because Microsoft isn't selling the product, it's a Game Pass day one and they don't throw their weight behind games like this.

If sony want their games to be more successful on pc and to sell more they need to bring the games day-one like helldivers 2! , and not after 2 years.

-Foxtrot4h ago

If it's first party (can't speak on Helldivers) then the PS5 should be focused on first in my opinion rather than worrying about 2 versions.

PrinceOfAnger4h ago

Nixxes can help with the development and release the games at the same time..

Tacoboto55m ago

Nixxes takes completed code and ports that to PC. I'm sure they do work during primary development but I like this setup.

PS5 owners are treated as first class by their platform holder, PC players get the final complete version, and GaaS are treated separately. Win-win.

XiNatsuDragnel4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

First party ps5 games need to be ps5 only until 6 months imo because they need to sell consoles still and then focus on PC later.

shinoff21833h ago

I don't see a big deal. The sales also help future development. I'm all in.

thesoftware7301h ago

This makes sense, just now doing it shows how behind and short-sighted regarding PC they were to begin with.

shaenoide1h ago

If they release it day one many will not buy a playstation anymore (me included).

Jingsing27m ago

I'm already not buying a PS5 Pro or PS6 and it isn't day one, They are already damaging themselves.
