    Would you play Resident Evil on the jag?

    in Atari Jaguar

    Posted

    Think before you post, and if you must get into a fight, take it to JSII, a place seemingly built out of drama.

    For the record, I don't see how you saying JS-II is "a place seemingly built out of drama" is compatible with your seemingly sincere desire for greater peace and calm in the Jaguar community.

    Nah you're quite right there, I was having a slight dig at the place and I shouldn't have. Consider the comment retracted.

    All's good. :)

    I know I shouldn't get involved, I REALLY know I shouldn't get involved, but I do have to point out the blatantly obvious here, and I do so as someone who has the required talent, and currently, the time, to create new and decent Jaguar titles (I don't know how worthwhile any game is however, they're all just for entertainment after all).

     

    This kind of infighting makes me, and other developers, want to have nothing to do with the scene.

     

    Read that again.

     

    I love the Jag, not so much for its games, which are on the whole fairly meh (with a few gems), but for its hardware, and the joy of trying to create something on such a weird buggy system. The Jag had potential, which still has rarely been tapped. I like the fun of writing code for it, and trying to make things that are awesome and exploit some of that potential... but the attitudes of a small part of the community sap all my will to ever release anything and make me want to have nothing to do with the whole bloody lot of you, which sucks, because I know it's a minority who fight and bicker constantly. Also I know from talking to other talented people that I'm not alone on this.

     

    Think before you post, and if you must get into a fight, take it to JSII, a place seemingly built out of drama.

    I wish you well with your current and future coding endeavours. Perhaps if I hadn't have arrived so late at JFUK 2010 on the Saturday we might have had the time to have a chat about how your efforts in this regard are progressing. :)

     

    If some folk here choose to misinterpret others' posts in ways that they only hear what they want to hear then that's their prerogative. I've no intention to further point out to Sauron the continued problems he seems to have in understanding the plain use of language. So on that note I've no interest in further contributing toward leading the thread astray.

     

    As for JS-II, well Sauron's long been banned from there for past indiscretions so he at least has little option but to post here when seeking to ruffle feathers these days. For the record, I don't see how you saying JS-II is "a place seemingly built out of drama" is compatible with your seemingly sincere desire for greater peace and calm in the Jaguar community. Please don't interpret that as having a pop at you as it certainly isn't intended as such. Finishing on a positive note, apart from the odd exception here and there its been most reassuring to see no major flame wars between AA and JS-II for quite some time now. Long may it continue. :)

    Yes, it'd be great to see more original content on Jaguar. Its a real shame so very few coders have the requisite talent, time and/or interest to produce such games that genuinely "take advantage of the Jaguar's strengths" in a worthwhile fashion these days.

     

    Try coding a game yourself. It would be a lot more productive than taking subtle potshots at some of the few coders with the "requisite talent, time and/or interest". Also while your at it, try filling us in on what exactly would constitute a "worthwhile fashion". It seems that most of the more recent games that have come out just don't quite live up to your lofty standards on what would constitute a "worthwhile" game.

    You somewhat regrettably appear to have not comprehended what I said. Far from "taking subtle potshots at some of the few coders with the "requisite talent, time and/or interest"" I was in fact expressing a wholly different sentiment. Please go back and carefully read what I posted and you'll then hopefully understand that I actually credited the fact the Jaguar scene does indeed have some talented coders but that its "a real shame" they don't always appear to have sufficient enough spare time, or perhaps interest, available to devote to undertaking the painstaking task of producing "more original content on Jaguar".

     

    As for what constitutes "worthwhile" then it would appear you failed to keep pace with the context of the debate. To help avoid any further misunderstanding on your behalf I'll quote my original post, "For a system as powerful as Jaguar that's unfortunately plagued with so many 16-bit conversions maybe having a game originating on a 32-bit platform such as PlayStation would be something more worthy." Assuming you're of sound mind you should by now have comprehended I was expressing the view that such a game would "maybe" be more "worthy" of "a system as powerful as Jaguar" is than the significant number of 16-bit game conversions which already exist.

     

    I trust this explanation, which really shouldn't have been necessary had you properly read and understood my previous two posts, now sets matters straight bringing with it the happy consequence of you no more feeling it necessary to retaliate in such a bizarre and personalised fashion brimming with seemingly paranoid delusions. Apology accepted in advance, thank you.

    How about something written from the ground up to take advantage of the Jaguar's strengths instead of trying to do what would end up being a half-assed version of a game that originated on a more powerful console?

    Where's the negative rep point button?

     

    :D

    I wanted to award you a positive rep point regarding your point about negative rep points but the unfortunate point is that I've already awarded my full daily quota of rep points to those who've made so many great points in pointing out that OgreSupreme really has no point. I hope all others have now got the point. :lol:

    You really should do a paper version of this magazine! Otherwise what's the point publish it in a magazine format? I never understod this. You could just put the info on any random web-site. And I don't want to print it and put it together myself.

     

    When I am buying a magazine I want a magazine, if you know what I mean.

    Each to their own, I say. For instance, I'm content to sometimes purchase book/magazine downloads to be viewed solely on my iPhone. Not having the printed version doesn't bother me in the least. If it did then its no big deal to print it out. Simple! :)

    @ bojay1997:

     

    * No, I'm in the UK - see beneath my avatar pic

     

    * As I was considering ordering a fair number of items (a BNIB Jaguar CD unit plus several Jaguar games) I thought to call him instead of ordering through the 'site. I did so on the off chance I might be offered any kind of discount. The guy (sorry, I don't now recall his name) was very friendly and helpful and he did indeed offer me a generous discount that bettered the two-for-one offer listed on the website at the time for the games I was hoping to buy. In fact, iirc, he said if I ordered all the games I mentioned to him that I was thinking of ordering then he'd give me an even greater discount still. I took him up on the offer and was delighted with both the helpful customer service offered and the deal I received just for having called him. I distinctly remember him saying it was always better to call him instead of using the website as he was more likely to be in a position to offer better deals that way on account of the fact he didn't update all of the website too often. This latter point was shown to be fact as one of the games listed on the website as being in stock was in fact sold out - he then apologised for not having updated the website to reflect that.

     

    * He was content for the rather large sized package to be delivered at my request to my workplace and it arrived only a few days later with all items well packaged. No crushed Jaguar game boxes - unlike some of the times I've bought stuff via eBay!

     

    Put simply, I couldn't have asked for any more.

    I posted the following info' elsewhere on the 'net back in December '08. Whether it helps shed any light on the current situation with Telegames UK I don't know...

     

    "I bought ... from Telegames UK in the first quarter of '08 the guy on the other end of the line stated they were in the process of relocating the business premises/warehouse to somewhere new/smaller. He said that as a consequence of this they were looking to clear stock for certain older gaming systems, including Jaguar, with a view to ending catering for said systems."

    Say SNES

    Maybe there should be another thread too along similar lines but for Atari Jaguar. As far as I can tell folk in most parts of England pronounce Jaguar as, er, "Jaguar"! Okay, perhaps "Jag-you-er" then. Whereas most folk from the US seem to say "Jag-wahr".

    At the risk of making a generalisation here, I've noticed down the years that most folk from the US that I've heard refer to the console most often say "S.N.E.S." or "Super Nintendo" whereas most folk from the UK tend to say either "Snes" (commonly pronounced "Snez") or "Super Nintendo". Just my two cents, er, I mean 0.015 (approx.) GB Pounds Sterling!
