Nah
It's almost as if creating and supporting a piece of hardware that retails at a few hundred dollars is really hard.
How hard could it be to compete against huge multinational companies with decades of experienced staff, resources, and intellectual property behind them?
And try turning a profit in the process!
It can be done, as long as you find an actual Niche to occupy and don't compete directly.
I own both of the Gamebuino Arduino-based 'make your own game' consoles, and both of them are great (sans some issues with the first due to age and rough handling) But that's not a market most folks are going to go for.
But who cares for cheap mobile-gaming based underpowered console for the living room.
Doesn't make sense. If I'm going to invest some significant portion of time to play in the living room - it should be a quality time. And OUYA-like hardware and android games can't deliver it. The assumption that we want 'cheap' stuff is wrong. Personally, I want 'good value' stuff. And for example, Sony PS with 400$ price and 60$ game are delivering more for the buck than 99$ OUYA with some shitty 2$ mobile 'game'.
Not to mention freemium crap, hidden costs, bothering FB friends for coins...
Midnight screenings
Seriously? They said NoMo Entertainment system? That is literally foreshadowing its own fate.
Even though it's obviously a scam, that Omega Boardgame console actually sounds like a decent idea. Be pretty cool if Hasbro released something like that.
that idea would be genius really, they would make money out of the console, out of the games and out of cards and pieces that could have rfid and be used to play specific games
Agreed, and the non-square game issue could be fixed with simple letterboxing.
I just want to know if a 24 x24 inch flatscreen could ever be made durable enough to withstand family gameplay. I could easily see someone throwing a tantrum, and rage quitting that thing to little chunks of tempered glass. Imagine sucker punching a tablet.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'd probably buy something like that
Only if it existed though
@@guerra_dos_bichos The idea looks like it probably would use your smartphones for displaying your individual cards.
Honestly though the idea is amazing for those people that don't want all the physical board games around and are afraid of losing all the pieces.
Flexible Funding should be a red flag.
Scott The Woz said it best:
NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY ANDROID GAMES ON THEIR TV
I'd play Android games on my tv, there are some good ones out there, with good graphics and controls.
Crashlands bro it's 7 bucks 50 hour hilarious and fun campaign I'd play it on my tv
I don't even want to play friggin' Android games on my Android device! xP
The only android game I have patience to play on mobile is Animal crossing Pocket Camp lmao
Random dude in Ghana has the most legit entry, even if he's hand making them himself. That's pretty ambitious and I hope someone helps him. Meanwhile, that board game thing coulda been sweet. I could 100% see it working if it was marketed for/with indie board game developers/different kind of touch screen...
jeah i think that too. this guy has a prototyp and the others only fancy videos showing nothing! i find it absolutly unfair to roast him that way.
Me too. At least he's got heart!
He wants to create a console AND videogames for it.
He described them extremely rudimentary and used stolen footage.
He used random images that he probably got off google.
And that "console" is probably just an old circuitboard to make people believe he has a prototype.
I'm pretty sure this is just a scam.
BUT he at least had something physical, which none of these other dudes had.
True
But having something physical isn't saying much, when it's just a motherboard in a box.
I could shutdown my PC right now and take the motherboard out and film it with my phone. That doesn't mean that i have a prototype.
It would take 5 minutes and i literally don't even have to get up from my chair.
That guy didn't show the "prototype" actually turned on and he also used stolen footage. Both of those things are huge red flags.
If he's actually legit i hope he succeeds as well.
But I'm 99% sure he's just a scammer that wants to screw people over and get quick money.
"This vase would go great with my console!" said no gamer ever.
"I have a studio I fund it myself through hard work"
Wow I didn't know you can buy stuff with hard work. I thought it took money
Can’t wait to play the ‘young girl escapes from her evil religious kidnappers’ simulator
mr y mysterious video
Catholic Chilean Simulator 2018
So... Pretty much Outlast 2.
Can't wait to play 'murder people and blame an entire group of people to avoid trouble' simulator
Press a quickly not to die as fast
Sounds like my life
I actually like the board game pad idea A LOT. That could be an amazing product if done correctly.
Consoles so dumb, they make you want to buy an Ouya!
Ouya would looks like Playstation compared to these consoles
Brandon Roberts : Game . Com... Checkmate.
Ouya, Ouya, Uhn-Tss. Uhn-tss...
fuck you I love my Ouya
Sum Person I DO. I JUST SAID I DO. GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU SHEEP
That last concept actually sounds really cool. I'd love a way to play board games without the space needed for all the actual parts. I know console, PC, and mobile versions exist of many, but those can be quite awkward.
Problem is, that not that it can't be done, but the licencing issue that kickstarters don't really pay attention to. You'd have to get the major board game makers on board with the whole project or you'd be sued to oblivion and beyond.
Yeah, but I think many would agree to license out their games if a major company like Sony were involved.
Dude no offense but I get your voice mixed up with guru Larry
Sky Man They're the same person
H E L L O Y O U
Lolcat really?
Sky Man no
He's voiced videos on Larry's channel before and he's Larry's editor
The GPD win is by far the best thing ive supported by crowdfunding.
The last one, the Omegaboard, sounds like an interesting concept if it were actually made seriously. Maybe even the ability to joined 2 or more boards together to make a larger board and with different shapes. If a serious company decided to make one, I think there are a few people out there that would be interested. But, that said, nowadays board games seem to be all but dead in the general population unfortunately...
And I wish South Africa luck!!
Yeah, honestly thought that one could maybe work. There's the obvious hurdles of how to handle irregularly-shaped boards, getting licenses for popular games, etc. but Tabletop Simulator was actually pretty successful on Steam so I'd call that some support for there being a potential market for this kind of thing.
what is the point of a board game if its on a screen...
@playpod Not having to get the pieces out, for one, potentially saving games, online play, that sort of thing.
in the world of tabletop RPGs, people make game tables with this type of setup now and again on their own with a flatsceen TV and an arduino TV stick.
PlayPod Not to mention how much space you could save. If you could pitch this to Wiz Kids/WotC/Hasbro/other major board gaming companies, then support it via an app store, that you could download their titles from? Yeah, I could see a market for that. Especially with strategy gamers who'd want a save state of some sort, without the hassle of leaving the board/pieces out until they can continue.
What I don't understand is, why wouldn't they make the screen rectangular to begin with and then if something has a sqaure board just put a border around it.... I also really can't understand how they got away with ripping off people for a over a grand...twice!
8:44 that is a South African flag 🇿🇦. The console is from Ghana 🇬🇭 🤦♂️
Robert MacLean I noticed that too but mostly because I know my flags too well.
Exactly! Do you think he just Googled African Flag graphics and the South African one came up first?
Sovash Chetty I checked what result comes up when you type "African Flag" in Google and indeed, you get the flag of South Africa.
🤔
I Love RUclips
MadameSprixie that's just lazy.
Didn't Krang come from Dimension X?
Nimmo1492 I was about to comment on that. 😄
Cross Platform multiplayer is a great idea, but when Baxter Stockman, Beebop and Rocksteady are in charge of maintaining the servers you know it's not going to end well.
SAAAKI get me my conTROOAler
And just like Krang, the console had noBody to back it up.
@@jazzygeofferz If you put two incompetent mutants behind this yeah it's not going to work.
Where is the Cybermatrix 100?
It has a Triforce Port...
Salud 74 pretty sure he already did a video on that
Or maybe that was Larry.
He mentioned it in this video
This is so damn Funny... it should becomme a running Gag 😁😂
By the Way... that Guy Pisces Sings now. Its worth a look
First off it's called a Galaxy port
as a game developer, i can say that making games that can be played with a phone or tablet as the controller is possible, without having to use a special console like the 6:01 Wazo.
we just don't do it because it's too much effort for controls that don't feel very good.
You do have guts putting your face next to these failed consoles. The skit @5:45 with the invisible console is funny but taken out of context and cutting it short (or adding a fake console in your hands afterwards) can be risky and you might be in the next Kickstarter scam campaign without you even knowing about it! So be careful!
I thought the giant horizontal touch screen boardgame machine was a cool idea. It's a shame it will never be made.
Perhaps one day they'll make a giant sized iPad or Surface.
Any chance of a video of the Retro VGS/ Coleco Chameleon (which can also include the Retro Magazine kickstarter as was all linked)
Do it!
9:12 no, he doesn't show the game itself - he shows footage from inside the game making program (Unity).
i know this because:
1. at one point i used Unity to make games
2. he didn't cut out the 3D compass from the scene view
I actually think the omega board is actually a good idea for a consul. The idea of using a touchscreen on the top of the consul to get a board game-like experience, while collecting to phones for extra teachers actually sounds like it would be fun. Maybe people who are actually competent and aren’t scam artists could make it one day.
the african guy has good intentions but he should realize that he was doing more of a gaming PC than a console desu
OS and input is pretty much the only difference between PC and console though...
@@wtfiswiththosehandles upgradability, price, customizability, etc..
I’ve watched like 4 of your videos in a row and now I just find myself cruising Kickstarter and laughing at the different campaigns haha. Thanks
I love your video, I enjoy the kickstarter ones...but have you ever thought of doing a different intro background song for these? That "I wanna take you for a ride" line...gets grating... just a small thing. Great video!
James McMahan Dude... This. I dread hearing that, to the point where I'll skip well into the video.
you guys never played marvel vs capcom 2?
Can't wait for all the "Wii U is Underrated" and "Top 10 Wii U Hidden Gems" videos in a few years' time. You're right - it will become a big collector's item. (I wonder how much Tokyo Mirage Sessions will go for? I have that and I'm sure that will be costly in the future.)
The concept for this video reminds me of the iControlPad 2- the first Kickstarter campaign I ever backed. The iControlPad was a very real controller that I had never managed to pick up when it was available, so supporting this one sounded like a great thing. It was going well too for awhile with good progress updates, but eventually it became clear they bit off more than they could chew and finally one of the people just took what money was left and ran, leaving the rest involved to sell back parts they had purchased and issue what partial refunds they could as well as original iControlpads they had left over to others (I opted for that, but ended up barely using it- I had purchased a Moga brand controller in the meantime). The Kickstarter page is still there for anyone who does a search, as well as a kickscammed page. Just search for icontrolpad 2 on Google.
The piano music over the "Blizzard like" video is Outride A Crisis from Super Hang-On.
I loved your miming of the "Hero Station"! I reminds me of "The Emperor's New Clothes". A story that every person who considers backing a project like the ones shown here should be reminded of!
I should kick start a POOP OF THE MONTH CALENDER. each month will have a picture of all the different poops like the runny poop, the stone poop, the corn filled poop, ECT.
I got so excited when I heard your voice on DYKG! Good job 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks buddy :) was a bit of a dream come true
you’re disgusting
@@ulqinaku8471 What did he do?
Just discovered your channel while looking up stupid Kickstarters 🤦♂️🤣 Love your videos and the commentary 👌 Had to subscribe 😉
Random question. at 5:37 theres the saying "Contribute + 2 Games". does ANYONE know exactly what font that is? I used that font from one of those free sites probably 10 years ago, and I was trying to think of the name recently
8:18 - Oh yeah! The Monkey Ball arcade music! Makes me wonder if someone will create a console where the controller is a track ball like what was used for 'SegaSonic The Hedgehog' and 'Super Monkey Ball: Ticket Blitz'.
I love these sorts of Kickstarter videos. They really show the interesting tales of the massive place that is the internet.
The OmegaOne actually sounds like a cool concept! But it definitely needs some work
Just get the Nvidia shield TV pro if you want a real good Android console, and also you can play your Steam games
Man, you don't know how many times you killed me during our Hero Station Survival Era Match. Like seriously, that was riveting gameplay.
That one dude's response said "If you look up this random movie on Prime, and look at the Black Ops guy with a Mohawk, that's me" (as if that makes his game console idea legit) "I may not be a real black ops, but I do Kung fu. I'm an excellent human. Thank you."
The Oton is a glorified custom HTPC made with off the shelf parts. The case is a Habey EMC-600B, and I'm not sure of the motherboard, but it's a mini ITX board with an embedded Intel chip (possibly Atom) from the looks of the heatsink. And these embedded chips are usually awful for gaming PCs.
Before watching: "Inb4 it's almost all Android boxes"
It's almost all Android boxes
I think many people beat Dimension X on the idea of crossplay. In fact, the first games with crossplay were 4x4 Evo, Maximum Pool, Quake 3 Arena and Phantasy Star Online between Dreamcast and PC according to Wikipedia.
For some reason, your extremely snarky, derisive and obviously scoffing "I never thought I was in The Twilight Zone, mate." was EXTREMELY funny to me. I actually had to rewind the video because I was laughing and then making this comment. Hahaha. You sure showed him xD
That "Dimension X" seems kinda pointless imo. Several big multi-platform games like Rocket League and Minecraft already have cross-platform connectivity without a special device, I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually becomes a standard feature. :P
Yeah, but Sony refuses to play ball with Nintendo, Microsoft, and Steam, quite literally in the case of "Rocket League."
plus thats not how networking works. its not the console itself that connects the networks. the companies have to allow the servers on their end to cross play.
Be a good idea if companies would allow it ,very unlikely to ever be true universal play across all platforms unless all companies make one console in a joint effort..
Wow. "John Madden 2k18" sounds like a game I absolutely need right now.
Your the only content creator I know whose voice actually matches up with the way you look.
I like the idea of the 'universal boardgame' concept, but if it was me, I'd do it with a projector you fix to the ceiling that shines down onto a table, and some bluetooth dice.
Not all the way through but you got to wonder how people 50 years from now will look back on these things. Maybe they’ll find a way to improve it or just try to scam a new generation of people all over again
There will always be scammers out there, the only difference is how easy it will be to con people out of their money.
Brandon Roberts Or they will try to scam the next generations of people. It can go either way.
I thought you were talking about the the coleco chameleon
NoMo
NohMo
No hmo
No homo
I love you guys, thanks for being you!
I lost it on the Dimension X clip. Lmao
Honestly, that Omega Board thing sounds like a good idea, just not for generic board games, and more for popular comic shop tabletop games. Could you imagine something like that for DnD or Warhammer?
The Omega Board seems like an interesting idea if it was done right. It could be a large tablet that sits on your table and lets you play whatever board game you want. It could also be used to play touch screen games and support bluetooth controllers for more sophisticated games. It could even link to your phones to play party games like Use Your Words and any game from the Jackbox Collection, and it would be as powerful as a Nintendo Switch.
Though I suppose my idea already sounds better than whatever was promised by these shady people, so that pretty much says a lot of how much of a missed opportunity this is.
Also, I'm glad the Dreamcade wasn't on the list, solely because I pre-ordered that thing and didn't want to think that I wasted all that money on a system that wasn't going to come out.
Another top notch episode. Good stuff my dude
The part I like the most is that this guy, this guy included Stardust Speedway Present (JP), Tropical Jungle: the Jungle, and Strangers Like Me
Best choices for music, imo
I actually got the gamestick back in 2017, it was a VERY mediocre unit that used Android OS and basically ran Play Store games. As such it also meant it could be jailbroken and APK files could be sideloaded.
Nice choice of music for the OmegaOne segment.
I noticed the Metal Slug music you used at one point, and the Marco Sprite pic in your game room backround. Cool!
“Wazo let’s you use any device as a controller, but you can buy the curvy dedicated controller separately”
Didn’t Google already try that?
My rule of thumb is that I never back anything with a flexible goal. Always seems shady to me
I'm actually really impressed that you didn't add the OUYA and Gamestick onto the list. Although they didn't sell well, they make absolutely fantastic emulation boxes/sticks!
They need there own episode
Daniel Ibbertson Looking forward to it :)
That last one, the board game thing, is a super good idea. I'd be all about that, from a company that could actually do it. The square screen isn't really an issue at all, certainly not the device-destroying one you mention it as - screens can scroll! May as well be shocked you can fit a whole website on a small phone.
Out of all of these failed Kickstarter consoles, Dimension X and Africa's First Gaming Console have the most potential. Integrate multiple console to play the same game? Hell yeah.
"I'm gonna take you for a ride" is what owners of shitty Kickstarters think to themselves as backers give them all their money.
A touchscreen digital board game collection actually sounds pretty interesting if it actually existed. As for boards that aren't square, there's no reason you couldn't just have some customizable frames or even black borders along the sides.
...next time!!!! (I was hanging on to hear that bit!) LOL
The omegaone as a concept though is pretty neat and it’d be cool to see Hasbro take and refine that idea.
Oh, no mention of the Coleco Chameleon. Oh well...
It'll get it's due, someday. I feel like it'll be a nice, big fat topic to discuss.
The Ouya could have dominated the microconsole market if it weren’t for their bad CEO. They never could have even shook a stick at the big 3.
I actually like the idea of a big touchscreen game board. Having physical sets of all my favorite board and card games takes up soooo much space. Maybe one day someone will actually give it a try.
I can only think of two, maybe three ways that dimension X machine could work as promised and they all end up being more trouble than they’re worth and will mostly likely end with him getting sued six ways to Sunday by Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft.
Wasn't Survival Era one of those dodgy early access games?
I think the Omega Board idea is actually pretty cool. IF, they could really make one, with support from board games companies, and it allowed rectangular boards of course.
The only real problem would be, how would any player be able to keep "hand items" that nobody else can see?
These are not just dumb kickstarters but they are kicksharters
Honestly I can see the game board idea working with different shaped boards. I mean it is a touch screen so it can just pan around the virtual board.
That one from Ghana, I'll have to commend the guy from trying. The real question is if he'd be receiving full support, from funding to distribution, and how the OS and games would really be like.
The ad before this is the new Atari VCS. Like RUclips already knows.
I don’t know if I should be happy or disappointed that the gamer archive isn’t present on the list
I LOVE my Android Console. It's a homemade model bought from the Flea Market next to my Store.
It runs everything on the Play Store like BlueStacks does on a PC.
I like it because I can use the controller provided to play games like PUBG, Fortnite, and NOVA or I can Bluetooth my phone to it to use touch controls. It also has Xbox and PlayStation Controller support via two USB ports or wireless if using the Sixaxis App and also supports a mouse and keyboard.
Idk what's inside it because he 3D printed the casing around the components so it doesn't actually open up. I'd assume its a Raspberry Pi or something similar though.
Wow I was not expecting Tarzan music in this video. I approve.
The wii u wasn't hated as much as it made little sense to gamers. The ports are different versions too: the switch ports of captain toad have different levels based on oddessy. Anyway, the hardware part of making a platform is the hardest and most expensive part: to make another OS for it like MS, Nintendo, or Sony does require much more staff, but it's easier to port android for these micro consoles.
the omega one sounds like a fun idea tbh, I wish someone who's not a scammer would pick up the idea
but maybe I'm just biased because I love board games
Ya know, it would be cool to have a console that allows multiple different people to play on a single system at the same time, with controllers hooked up with a headset with a screen on the inside so each person could play on their own unique data. For example, if you want to do co-op in Dark Souls but don't want to be worried over gank spankers or hackers, why not have your brother join you offline on the console? He plays from his world, you play from yours, and the both of you can just go about while being on the same console, but it plays as though you're not even in the same room.
Also, it would allow for splitscreen games such as cod to not have anyone do any screen peeking, and though it's similar to playstation VR, I think that my idea is a little bit more logical.
Notably, the headset is not for modern VR games; it's just a way to divide the console for each person plugged into the system to play their own.
Oh yeah, and I have no idea for a name for the console. Maybe "The Celestial"? It's based off my current game development idea.
What a missed opportunity... They could've named the online store "Up your Wazo".
I want to bet that these campaign runners would even put "Summon Jesus Christ to be your opponent" as one of the many features of their consoles and they'd still run their campaigns in a serious manner.
I've started a Kickstarter to make a DReamcast 2 who's backing???
Jesus Christiano gimme a call when you make a ngage 2.
Love that outro. You can't go wrong with Phil Collins.
Like that 8 bit "strangers like me" and ... that cameo from your baby?
10:40 he can't even look me in the eyes when lying to me
It's like listening to that one top gear guy talk about video games.
Oh snap, sound cancelling headphones is the best google translate nonsense I've heard all day.
Africa's first gaming console, you have a 1 in 100,000 chance it will dispense questionably clean water or food upon playing it.
I am honestly surprised that you didn't include the Chameleon on this list, but maybe a dedicated video in the future? I'm sure there's a lot to cover for that debacle.
To be honest Dimention x is a good idea if he was more tech savy he would know it is near impossible to do , the reason why most developers puts platfoms on different networks are because it is a different structer per platform, and to include them all they have to code each entry seperately which is a mayor thing.
The original x box prototype was not much different then the raspberry pi in a wooden box concept.
11:19 It's a shame, twilight is the merging of dark and light to make a beautiful breathtaking scene, a very vibrant orange over a starry horizon..
The video ended so quickly that it cut off his ending quote. That part was disappointing, but this is a great video otherwise.
