Why. Why are they doing this.

cast the movie

Despite how insignificant the games publicity would normally be, Resetera types are already boycotting it

Well that's good. It's gonna do a hell of a lot more in terms of generating interest than putting the game exclusively on a doomed reboot of a console that has been dead for 40 years. Is it because of Tennapel?

Can we all just agree that the cartoon was awesome?

>someone buys the console
>Rips the game
>Now it's free on PC
Easy

pretty much everything doug does is awesome same with american mcgee

I actually have the PC port on disc.

Why?

tumblr types hate tennaple because he's a very vocal christian and doesn't like the gays. so of course that means he's literally hitler and an evil piece of shit

You are an ungrateful little bitch, OP.

From what I understand he doesn't actually hate gays, he just doesn't agree with gay marriage.

remember the one time someone got tennaple to post here and he was a confused old man who isn't good with technology, and when someone asked him what he thought about the binding of issac, he started talking about the actual bible story

yeah but he made an aids joke, so he's scum and should die

And you are a doormat, you dumb faggot. I'm glad a sequel is happening but I sure as fuck don't need to be grateful that Tallarico is using EJ to shill his stupid DOA console. He's practically holding EJ hostage.

ah, it's the Nintendo Bayonetta shit all over again, a series that was dead that nobody cared to revive, and when someone does it's wrong because it's not on the "correct" console.

I want to fuck that bee

Not even comparable. One of the big three buying up a dead IP and making it exclusive might be frustrating if you don't own that specific console, but at least there will be other exclusives to justify the purchase and the mainstream exposure from being a first party release is more likely to secure a future for said IP. The Wii U may have been a failure but Bayonetta lives on. This Earthworm Jim scenario is the original creators trying to generate hype for their brand new console with a single game from an IP that has been dead for 20 years. You're delusional if you think this thing is going to have a future or any other exclusives or that having to pay $150 for a console for a single fucking game is okay.

Or, come to think of it, maybe you're not delusional and you're actually just Tommy Tallarico doing damage control.

Oh shit some guy on Twitter says TenNapel is cancelled and that Earthworm Jim was never fun, guess I'll throw out my collection.

i might buy the console just for Warlords alone, i loved that game on my Atari, so the rest of the fans of EWJ could just go on and pretend that EWJ is still gone, nothing has changed.

this is just like the WiiU Bayonetta shit, except i don't expect the creators of the Intellivison to believe they'll sell that much outside of people that enjoyed the old Intellivisions

Bayonetta 2 was outright cancelled before Nintendo stepped in and paid for its revival, it was either Bayo U or no Bayo at all.

This will only be the same situation if only the Intellivision crew cared enough to finance the title and it wouldn't have existed otherwise.

I'll play it in a few years when Intellivision goes bankrupt and starts making all of those Amico exclusives multiplats, assuming they aren't just vaporware. I would just prefer to cut out the middleman and not someone try to take advantage of me for being a fan.

Did you also happen to buy an Ouya or a VCS?

so this situation would be, if Intellivisions did not pay for it's revival, it was either another dev or no EWJ at all.

so basically Earthworm Jim 3D, so now the entire old team is back and funded, but it would have been better if it was someone else just making a fan-made thing? like freedom planet is this what you're getting at?

At least it's got games.

The better route would've been to just start a game studio and make multiplats. Look at what the ToeJam and Earl guys are doing. That's how you revive a dead IP as indie devs. You don't try to break into the console business with such a shaky foundation. I'd like to be wrong, it would be nice to see some of the classics make a triumphant return and it would be great if this revived EWJ, but what's more likely is that this thing is going to die and kill off every associated franchise for another decade or two.

so again, fans of EWJ could just go on and pretend that EWJ is still gone, nothing has changed

Telling people to make believe is a bad argument.

what else is there for them?

Waiting for the exclusivity to end or sucking it up and buying one of these bastard machines should it somehow manage to prove a success.
