phoenixdownita Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Another thing I don't get is with all the "it's official ...." there's not a shred of announcement on the publisher side: http://neobitz.com/KnightsChance It's not the only one like that. All announced games beside Tiny Knight (which apparently is RVGS only) do not mention on their own page any intention yet to support the platform .... so guess they are all waiting and see what happens to the KS, which means nothing started at all and all this it's offcial is really nothing more than a gentlemen agreement based on what happens during the KS .... Regarding Tiny Knight I bet it's completely running on the ARM/media processor so that if the KS goes bad they simply port it to android .. likely it is using std libraries and std tools, given the RVGS has no BIOS I wonder how much OS they have to embed in the game? (hence the 1G+ need, a whole android/linux read-only subsystem maybe). Again more speculation on my part ... but it's all going to be revealed in the next 3 days or so ... no hurry.

AtariTexas Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Is that a pentagram in that game? Does that mean the devil will take my soul if I play it? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+madman Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Knight's Chance, never heard of that. Looking at the video it's got the look of a game that might have appeared if Telegames did Neo Geo games. Snowball's Chance would be a better name for a game supposedly coming to the RVGS. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I find it interesting that Gunlord is being ported to a console not even out yet, but the NG Dev Team was unable to raise enough funds to support it to massively popular consoles: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gunlord-for-3ds-and-wiiu--2#/story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I find it interesting that Gunlord is being ported to a console not even out yet, but the NG Dev Team was unable to raise enough funds to support it to massively popular consoles: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gunlord-for-3ds-and-wiiu--2#/story That's why I said that there's no way it's a port. It has to be just the Neo ROM bundled up with a Neo-Geo emulation core and a front-end. Like someone pointed out either here or somewhere else, since the game is on a cart, the chance of someone dumping the cart and extracting the actual game ROM is pretty low.

StopDrop&Retro Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I find it interesting that Gunlord is being ported to a console not even out yet, but the NG Dev Team was unable to raise enough funds to support it to massively popular consoles: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gunlord-for-3ds-and-wiiu--2#/story We haven't seen the response to the Kickstarter yet, but should it become the battle cry for the RVGS then it'll be funny knowing that a game with lukewarm reception (Source) that couldn't generate enough interest to merit a current-gen release is now the focal point of attention for a console that's trying to be retro. But to try to make some sense out of it, of course the difference now is that RVGS is handling all the cart production work. I think it's stupid that the NG-Dev team only goes with physical releases, as the review I cited said, why not go digital as well? I got Volgarr the Viking digitally this weekend and I'm glad I didn't shell out money for the game on cartridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaysWithWolves Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Was someone asking for developer confirmation about Gunlord? I can't remember; It could also have been about Hello Kitty World. Note the "DC or PC" part: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I like marshmallows. Last time I made them I almost burned'em. Erm, do they like make any fast games for this system? I light mine, and blow it out immediately before the fire consumes it. Nothing like a bit of crunchy black carcinogenic crust, and possibly a drop or two of pine sap, on my marshmallow when making Smores. Yummy...

Looking at the video it's got the look of a game that might have appeared if Telegames did Neo Geo games. Knight's Chance is an excellent title that was created by Jeff Kurtz and the people at Neobitz. I pre-ordered this title for the Neo-Geo AES and never been disappointed with the hard work/dedication that they put into this title. The moderator Punisher 5.0 I think did the MVS pre-order! Truly a remarkable gem of a game. Jeff was kind enough to reserve number 100/100 for the AES version. If you want a respected member on the neo-geo forums, Jeff Kurtz is certainly up in the ranks with many others! Neobitz will be doing future titles for the Neo-Geo in the future. Anthony...

sh3-rg Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) That's a link to the purchasing page for Knight's Chance. Psst... decimal points... that's not where they should go... Seems like the Jaguar boys have got it all wrong. You don't sell your game for $60-$80 and let the resellers take $300-$500 on eBay a few months later... you're supposed to do that part yourself, clearly.

Well, for those that complain about resellers making a mint by flipping the stock, that's one way to put the brakes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Can we expect to hear anything about their crowdfunding campaign today or tomorrow? The "week" is nearly over. Or, perhaps they are planning on launching it closer to a weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
