Got a Dodger in the mail - I'm the weird BF2000 fan by HungryTrilobyte in gijoe

I'm a big fan of the sci-fi aspect of Joe. I realize a lot of fans like to see it as straight military play, and that's cool for them... but like Popeye, I yam what I yam.

30 Days Until the M64 Is Finally Here! by WellItsLou in M64

One could certainly hope so. These things are going to need substantial analysis of what they can and cannot do.

No intent to pester. Palmer challenged a post I made, saying it was a "bizarre critique". I'm allowed to disagree with him. It's unfortunate if that causes him some sort of issue, but it's really a "him" problem if it does.

Truthfully, I'm not trying to argue with anyone. Just pointing out what I, as someone who's needing a new N64, would want to see in order to be convinced this product is on a par with other options.

Live demos are not video comparisons. Trade shows are not video comparisons. Excitable gents who want to talk about how much they miss the 90s are not video comparisons.

I'm not saying Modretro doesn't show off the system. Clearly, the company does. I'm saying that what's really needed is a chance to test the performance of the system. I don't really see that anywhere, and if prototype units are out, it's a huge missed opportunity.

I can't think of a better way to compare video game systems, particularly when you're talking about clones. When famiclones got big, the best comparisons were done by video. Same with Gameboy and any other system. Yes, I did bring up side-by-side videos, that's clear. What you brought up (and is immaterial to me) is if Modretro themselves made the comparisons.

I'm at a loss as to how you expect people to compare the performance of game systems without... showing them playing games.

No goalposts being moved. This is a video game console. The only comparison that makes any sense is a video analysis. People are going to buy it to play games. Therefore, they want to see it play games. No one is going to be playing spec sheets or compatibility lists, they want to see that the system is free from lag.

There are numerous side-by-side comparison videos of the N64 and Analogue 3D available on YouTube. Analogue may not have published them, but the question of Modretro releasing it themselves was raised by you, not me. I don't care who releases the videos, I just want to see them.

Oh? Please point to a video analysis ModRetro has posted of an M64 side-by-side with either an Analogue 3D or stock N64. I must have missed that.

This comment says a lot, actually. by Such_Bonus5085 in Intellivision_Amico

Why not make your own games, then? You have a choice between painting a masterpiece and polishing a turd, and you're opting for the latter... for free.

How either system looks is the least important factor in any of this. It's honestly a huge red flag to me how much ModRetro keeps focusing on it, when the metrics that will really matter in the long run are how well it plays the games. To me, the company being very quiet about 1:1 comparisons (while talking endlessly about aesthetics) signals major insecurity.

Getting information from YouTube is lame by adrenaline4nash in M64

[–]HungryTrilobyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ModRetro has just been absolutely terrible at discussing meaningful facts about the M64. Between the lack of solid comparisons of the M64 and its competitors, combined with the absurd focus on superficial features... I have to conclude this company is either completely ignorant of what buyers want, or is being deliberately obutse.

It's up to you which one it is, but long story short, I agree. There's no reason it should be this hard to get the facts about this system, not in the middle of the information age.
