Do anons think that a non-powerhouse console can ever take off in modern climate? I keep thinking to PS1 and PS2 who were the weakest contemporary consoles hardware-wise but at the same time were by far the most popular ones. Power didn't matter that much since games came in all varieties from all types of devs and only a very small percent was pushing the hardware. Sure you can point to Nintendo but I feel it's a different situation with Nintendo having a groomed cult-like audience who will consume literally anything they produce. With PS2 Sony made a conscious choice not to go for raw power but if PS5 or Xbox whatever, or some new console nowadays was only moderately powerful could it ever succeed or would it be considered "insta owned" cause it can't ray trace?

Where do I start If I wanted to make my own gaming console for mass production and selling? I was thinking about making a console similar to the PS1 so that it has both 3D and 2D capabilities and later down the line making a portable version of the system for playing on the go. I want to keep the system cheap a la under $300 or less is it possible? How much niggers could I scam out of their shekels on kikestarter to make this dream a reality? I have a few monies saved up but I don't think it will be enough to start development and production of the system. I have no experience with vidya hardware but I'm willing to learn!

>>3172 If you just want to bamboozle cattle out of their shekels why even go to all this trouble? There are countless Chinese Gamestations 5 which are just famiclones or androids with shitty emulation, designed to fool grandmas into buying their Billies a new nintendo for christmas. You don't even have to build your own, just buy some of those and sell 'em online. If you actually want to build a small-time console, even if just for fun, I'd imagine you have be at least a bit into programming. But likely it's just gonna be android, in which case look at Ouya and do everything opposite.

>Modern game has a "minimalistic" UI with stock white text and black-and-white transparent rectangles Instant into the trash. Man, what the fuck happened to game UIs? They used to be elaborate, cool and fun. Having as much iconic gusto to them as the game itself, adding to the experience. Nowadays it seems they're trying to make games as forgettable as possible even down to most basic minute features.

Now I know what you be sayun and I know of all its shortcomings but ultimately it has the comfiest atmosphere and aesthetics for me. Also the radiant AI or whatever system is interesting despite not working. In fact, a lot of things about Oblivion are interesting despite not working. It's kinda fascinating deconstructing it as you play, what could have been and they were going for. Especially back then. >inb4 horse armor Listen, horse armor is obvious and it's really easy to get hung on it but it overshadows other DLCs like Frostcrag Spire that were decent additions and didn't feel overpriced. Given you patched that shit.

>>3135 The scale is very impressive for the time but I think Bethesda made the right choice by shifting to a smaller handcrafted world full of little details in Morrowind.

FWIW I think custom CSS can help with board personality (and potentially put people in the right mindset to post better), Yotsuba isn't a bad theme but it's so burned into our retinas it would be nice to have something that's unique without sacrificing readability.

What is anon's favorite controller? What do you think about pressure sensitive buttons and vibration? Also, how do you store your controllers? I'm trying to collect usb gamepads to emulate games in an authentic manner but storing them is definitely a hassle. I had to go and buy craft paper, and make myself boxes to house them (pic related). Though it only works with small oldschool gamepads but maybe I'll try making boxes for large ones as well, at least you can easily stack them that way.

Concept Art Anonymous 02/20/2022 (Sun) 22:33:05 No.1945 [Reply]

Why is video game concept art always more interesting than the final version? No matter how good the game is, whenever you look at its initial concept art it's always way more fascinating. Is it just the technical limitation that forces to scale down on all the free-flowing idea spitballing or is it the inevitability of having to scale it down for a consistent, believable world? I always wanted a game where all the 'out there' concepts are actually implemented and not finalized into something more conventional. Post your favorite concept arts.
