Re: Questions
Of course they're not going to sell it, Sega never does that (and for good reason). But they don't have to. They can work out a deal with Ed so that he's allowed to use the license.…

Re: Questions
Hi Ed. Zolt's pixel art looks like a painting, it's rather impressive. I imagine that it would now be possible to create a 2D game that matches the quality of that artwork,…

Re: Questions
After reading Ed's interview with Zsolt, I can't help but think how unfortunate it was for Ed to create a Kickstarter for The Big Blue rather than a 2D pixel art Ecco game.…

Re: Questions
Thanks for the update Ed. You mentioned shipping an Android game. Can you tell us more about it? I don't think any of the Ecco fans following you on Twitter have any idea of what games you've been…

Real Whales (new "game" from Yuji Naka / Prope)
Thought it might be interesting to share this since it's similar to what I'd expect to see from Playchemy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJkaphVcK0A It's an iOS game from Prope,…

Re: Questions
It's really a phase Kickstarter has to go through. This is uncharted territory for everyone, both the backers, the project makers and Kickstarter themselves.…

Re: Questions
Many Kickstarter projects are destined to fail. It's simply a lesson that needs to be learned, and a test for Kickstarter. Too many people still see it as them preordering a game.…

Re: Questions
Where did I state that the few people posting here are an accurate representation of this game's audience? The opposite is true. And again: there's nothing to market.…

Re: Questions
First of all, you're assuming Ed is going to hold another Kickstarter. That's not certain, Ed already mentioned possible getting his funding elsewhere.…

Re: Questions
I hadn't heard about that Shantea Kickstarter, but after watching the Kickstarter video, they basically did nothing but show the game, aside from a few seconds of people working on it.…

Re: Learning from other Kickstarter projects
I'd like to see Capcom try to launch a lawsuit. Imagine the backlash they'd get from the fans. Sega has even less reason to go after BB. They simply have no case anyway,…

Re: Learning from other Kickstarter projects
That's actually a perfect example. On one hand, it can be said that well-known people like Keiji Inafune aren't the most deserving of Kickstarter funding,…

Re: Questions
I'm not sure how all that is relevant to this thread, as this was supposed to be about questions about the game and not a discussion about the evolution of the games industry.

Re: Questions
I'm pretty sure the article Sith linked to is correct. Getting Attila Heger on board, if only for a few tracks, would be awesome. There's nothing like the soundtrack for Tube of Medusa on the…

Re: The game ownership issue.
I think Ed makes a fair point. Recent discussion is less about the game itself and more about everything else surrounding it. This forum wasn't meant for us to discuss everything that's wrong with…

Re: The game ownership issue.
Icedolphin, every PC game in recent years has that license thing. It doesn't actually mean anything. The only time I know of a company trying to enforce it, they actually failed: http://www.…

Re: The modern video game industry
@Icedolphin SSF is more than a decent Sega Saturn emulator. And obviously there are going to be bad conversions (Sonic Adventure HD for example). That doesn't mean there aren't examples of…

Re: Which game systems do you own?
1) Windows. 2) As many as possible. 3) Windows, Linux & Mac as main platforms. The rest as stretch goals. 4) PC, Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis), Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, PSP, Xbox360, PS3,…

Re: The modern video game industry
I don't mind FMV's. I also don't see it as "lazy" on the part of the developers to use them, (and quite frankly I don't think you should refer to developer as lazy without knowing how much work they…

Re: Ecco the Dolphin
I don't have the same view on Sega's past as you do Icedolphin. Not owning first party titles for the Saturn and Dreamcast is something I find difficult to imagine (NiGHTS and Panzer Dragoon Saga…

Re: World of Diving: Online Multiplayer Dive Game with Oculus Rift Support

Re: Oculus Rift
IceDolphin, the hype is simply because of the fact that it actually works, unlike the Virtualboy. What I mean by it actually works is that people genuinely feel like they're actually inside the game.…
