The Intellivision Amico saga took another turn today as it was confirmed that the company is to release a smartphone application for iOS and Android that will effectively turn your handset into an Amico console.
The talented music maker discusses her process, challenges and, of course, magic!
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Custom Controller Company HexGaming launched a Kickstarter campaign for their latest pro controller, Hex Phantom. - IS
But hey, they made a smartphone app that allows you to play their "exclusive" games. Look at that. /s
Blaze, a smaller company, was able to develop and produce and market the Evercade all during the same time frame as Tommy was talking up the Amico. And the Evercade is now onto their next revision of the hardware after the original, the VS, the EXP and now the Hyper Pocket.
And what has Amico done??? a smart phone app.
Fail
I have no interest in the Amico, but I always visit the Intellivision Amico subreddit just to read the shady things this company did. Its actually equally both fascinating and revolting that this company squandered 17 million dollars and produced jack squat!
I also highly recommend watching the "OOF" YouTube video from hbomberguy, he went down an insane rabbit hole of Tommy Tallerico's lies and deceit. Its a very long video, but its not boring, and has 8.7 million views!
