kisrael Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Just read that 3DO is going away. Rats, I had secret hopes of a decent nextgen sequel to BattleTanx. (I bought a PS2 for "WDL: ThunderTanks". Thank goodnes there was GTA:VC to make the system worthwhile for me, don't know what the hell was wrong with ThunderTanks, but it just doesn't work. This is pathetic! All my hopes are with Titus' theoretical promise of "Tankers: Smoking Barrels". (Search and Destroy on PS2 was ok, I guess, especially for $10 new) Sigh, 3DO. A noble experiment with its console. At least we won't have to put up with any more crappy Army Men sequels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raijin Z Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 The only good thing bearing the 3DO name is the 3DO system, 5 years after it came out. Cheap fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Eh I never liked Trip Hawkins. Good Riddance! It must be those Army Men games that finally did them in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjessop Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I know some of you may laugh at the irony here but I'm not trying to make a joke. A number of good friends of mine are loosing their jobs at 3DO and that always sucks. Two that are at 3DO: Todd Frye (2600 Pacman) Howard Scott Warshaw (2600 ET) Both are honestly great guys and all I can say is we were young and stupid back then. Don't know how either will be effected by this but most at 3DO are loosing their jobs in July from what I hear. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I'd like to think that I speak for Jaguar owners everywhere when I say: TAKE THAT! :lol: At least we won't be forced to push through all the damn Army Men sequels to get to the real games at the video game stores now. --Zero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 Sorry; despite my disappointment in an originally clever idea but exploited to death Army Men series, I don't wish anyone in this industry (or any other) poorly. I don't know enough about Trip Hawkins' history to dislike him; I respect him for starting Electronic Arts and making its golden years w/ Archon, Pinball Construction Set, MULE, etc (and advancing Activision's "programmer as celebrity" theme, and those cool record album like gameboxes) as well as the original idea of 3DO, trying to get a real game standard out there, like VCRs. Doomed to fail for many reasons but a nice idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
