are you fucking my asshole bro?

Don't get me wrong, this looks cool and I love the crank. but this thing costs more than the original game boy upon release. Moreover tech doesn't move consoles, games do
mite b cool idk

Crankin looks like a neat "game" but you don't need a crank to simulate full control over the flow of time. Spinning an analog stick or a joycon would work just as well.

I could buy a plug-and-play shovelware “console” for $30 bucks, why does this piece of shit want 5 times that?

idk it looks like a cool little machine Nintendo would have made in the 80s

Looks like the type of thing a dumb söyboy would buy.

>see that it's black and white, simple graphics
>see crank, think "oh so you can crank it to generate power, since it probably doesn't need much"
>crank is actually a control method

wtf

Does ist run Doom?

No Doom no buy.

Price is not hipster enough, should have been 1500$ to ensure peasants wont even think about buying one

Exactly. If it had Tetris and you power the game with the crank, it could be a sure way to play forever

that picture looks so much like a fucking porn picture of randy. Literally all that is missing is a stream of piss shooting right at his face, with wet stains on his shirt. This picture disgusts me so fucking much.

I'd buy this for like, 30.

Are we entering the era of full blown pretentious games?
These aren't even games, at least movie AAA shit are games, even the fucking Order 1886 was a game.

How did anyone think this piece of shit would sell?
It's like that Juice thing where you had to send the packets of empty juice back to the factory.

ever play a fishing game without a crank faggot?

So... do the games unlock on a timer?
Do you have to connect it to the internet or another computer?
Why do they keep insisting it's fun? That's for me to decide.

150$ is way too steep for something like this. Maybe if the games were good but they're obviously a collection of minigames on a cherry Pi with a crank.

ever play a black and white pixelshit fishing game faggot?

>12 games

OH NO NO NO NO

>ever play a fishing game without a crank faggot?
Never played the TP Wii?

Why not get a New 2ds XL?

This would be OK for a little kid if it had games targeted to little kids that help them develop other skills and making a smart use of the crank
This? It only looks like pretentious shit, the vegan. gluten free of video games

>Playdate’s games have been created by some of today’s most exciting indie developers, including Keita Takahashi, Bennett Foddy, Shaun Inman, Zach Gage, and more.
I hate when they do this shit, like I'm supposed to recognize these names. It's like name-dropping random italian film directors from the 1960s to prove you're cultured.

I bet every epic s.oy who went to the site googled each one going "oh!! i heard of that game!!" doing the wojak s.oy face

The most gimmicky shit I've ever seen lmao

I'd buy it for 20$, 150$ for a gimmick isn't worth it.

retarded overpriced hipster shit nobody will actually touch after buying.

this was pretty cool and liked it. I never bought any but enjoyed going to toy or videogame store and watch them interact with eachother

This,
And I thought Nintendo was the worst of gimmicks

dead on arrival desu

They really should've went for 60 bucks and sell each game for 7
Would've made more sense.
Also, I just read "from the creators of Untitled Goose Game and Firewatch"
Although UGG does look like a nice take on the "animal simulator-genre" I don't trust them to create something like this, specially when it's something this pretentious

>Games by Keita Takahashi
DOA

I mean I'm intrigued, but not $150 intrigued. Maybe like $20.

>I'd buy it for 20$

btw, ESL, the dollar sign goes before the number.

They could've sold the games and the crank as a peripheral for 60 bucks too

The english language is stupid and I will continue to put the units in the proper place.

>we are pretentious game "developers" who just found out we can't make money with walking sims about feminism anymore
>our gimmick is a crank which can only be used if you take your thumb off the A and B buttons

holy fuck who ever thought this was a good idea? Who trusts those devs to deliver 12 actually fun games?

>The english language is stupid

and yet you still felt the need to learn it and use it.

get cucked

English will always dominate

that would be nintendo then

doesn't mean it's not stupid

everyone knows that you dummy, but when people talk they say "a hundred dollars" not "dollars a hundred"
it makes more sense in a casual environment to say things how people think them

Now that you mention Nintendo, doesn't LABO have a game design tool of sorts?
Imagine people creating a LABO port of all those games showing the devs how stupid they were

looks cute. can see why zoomers ITT are immediately turned off. where's the fortnite? where's the halo? ew, not even in color!

lmao i still have four of these, way too expensive for what they are

>zoomers

it's a gimmicky overpriced shit

89.99 USD in 1989 is equivalent to 185.46 USD now factoring in inflation. That said it's not that much cheaper considering how far we've come.

>Can't even develop your own games on it

NOW WATCH ME YOOOOOOU

Crank doesn’t charge it so fuuuuuuccccckkkkk that. Thought I found a toy for my bug out bag

I like the idea of the crank just because I love unique ways to interact with a game. However it could’ve been a nob or dial. Not sure if a crank is the best choice.
That one game demoed seemed neat but constantly turning it to move forward sounds a bit tiring.

I studied English for a while in college
Yes, the language is fucked, is not consistent phonetically
You want phonetic and gramatical consistency? Go to Spanish or Korean

>The language is just wrong
That's not how language works

you can get a 2DS for less than that with considerably more games. Who would buy this garbage?

So I was looking at the page, out of the four confirmed game designers working on it, the most notable ones were Keita Takahashi (Katamari Damacy designer), and the only other notable one was Bennett Foddy who worked on QWOP, a viral browser meme game from a decade ago.
Another interesting thing is that the play date team is working with teenage engineering, which probably explains the price. Teenage engineering made pic related, which is basically an all-in-one digital audio workstation crammed into a little midi keyboard with a display. It works surprisingly well, and some successful artists have used it, but it is definitely more of a novelty than a full-on replacement for desktop DAWs, and at $1000, it is hard to justify.
This looks to be some sort of novelty vidya-themed art project, not something entirely meant to take that seriously.

Attached: op1feature.jpg (1075x572, 309K)

I'd be more down to give this a shot if it lost the crank and was some kind of open source platform. I'd love to see some indie devs make fun pocket games for a platform like this.
Black and white is a severely limiting factor though. They're basically relegated to a completely 2D plane, even the most skilled artists and developers would have trouble working with that.

Let's not kid ourselves, this is hipster for the sake of hipster.

hipster shit

Sounds overpriced as fuck.

>Muh Android and iOS
Black and White ouya
>$150
that costs more than an ouya

It's just an art piece

looks stupid

Yeah I just used the analog sticks. A controller shaped like a reel isn't a reel.

There was pic related, which ran on pico-8. I remember Yea Forums used to hate this shit when it was having buzz. There was also the gamebuino, which was an 8-bit black and white game console aimed at developing simple open source games for it.

I can actually see some value in a novelty item like the audio workstation thingy you posted. It sounds like it has infinite reusability. Hell even to a music casual like myself, looks like a blast to pick up and jam out on and that'll never go away or get old.
With this playdate thing, you're limited by what they make with it. They make 12 games and that's all it'll ever be.

> $150
Stopped right there
It's hipster garbage

>he hasn't seen the edit

According to the website, the 12 games are just part of "Season One." So I'd assume that there will be 12 more games that come out, but that would probably only be if this thing actually sells. The guy who designed this also made firewatch, which was a successful game. This is on another level though, it's hard for the average consumer to justify a reason for buying this.

Make sure you pay all the big name video game youtubers to shill this shit and give them all free units. That's the only way this retarded idea has any hope of gaining any traction at all.

Can you turn the crank to power the battery at least? If not that's completely retarded and provides nothing that an analog stub or some extra buttons couldn't do.

Worst of all it will be shilled by journos like they did with the epic store

>$150 for some hipster trash
Or you can buy some chink Gameboy and play every NES/SNES/GB/GBA game for less than $100.

The "games" seem like they'll be Warioware level tier gimmicky shit and the console seems like some sort of trendy art piece in the form of a handheld. If you play video games it seems like a ripoff but if you like hipster gimmick art shit it seems like it would be the best thing ever.

Randy loves taking pictures in the bathroom it's his favorite place

>12 more games
we all know they're going to lose steam halfway through season one, they have zero obligations to the maybe 2000 people that buy this

Overpriced hipster tech like this irritates me honestly, it's like that 'luxury' typewriter that sells at $600 which a bunch of young MFA-aspirant writers are selling now. Isn't it not unreasonable to be judging the utility of an item with mind to how much they're charging for it? No matter how cute that device is, I can buy a used ThinkPad for less than $100, download a free DAW, and get way more utility out of it than that. I know producers can afford shit like that somehow, but it's still such a waste really.

What kind of delusional fuckboy would propose something like this? This is going to fail miserably. If they release more than three months worth of "games" for this thing before the entire venture shuts down I'll eat my hat.

>They didn't partner with Soulja Boy and call the console the "Crank That"
Missed opportunity

Bennet foddy recently released that troll game of the guy in a cauldron with a hammer

Could probably just buy an OG gameboy and some games for a lot less and probably get a lot more entertainment from it. Or if you want something small with a novelty factor, an Arduboy.

Actually cool, at least as a concept, but 150 is way too high for indie game bullshit. 100 max, 80 is better.

The only good thing that could come out of this handheld is that it seems like it could have a nice Game Boy emulator that closely captures the feel of a Game Boy Pocket screen with it's black and white screen. I don't see a start and select button though so some retarded solution like using the crank forwards or backwards would probably have to be mapped for it. Other than that, no redeeming value of it to me.

Now that you can get a decent mini Gameboy clone for $40 everywhere, lard hipsters have to reinvent the wheel and"upgrade" the experience

Bennett Foddy made Getting Over It.

Here are the title screens to 4 out of the 12 titles. I think some of the games look like they'd have promise and the premise of indie titles that copy the game boy game aesthetic and gameplay with slightly nicer visuals is something that should be more prominent. But on consoles and handhelds or pc that people actually own.

I'll get it if the games are good.
I want games I can play for a long time though, like a Tetris or a dungeon crawler; don't care much for short experimental things, they aren't worth $150 no matter how cool they are.

>everyone who likes things I don't like is a fake gamer and doesn't actually like things
okay buddy

This is dumb. Just sell a decent mass-market Raspberry Pi Zero handheld with a bunch of buttons, and a working port of Pico-8 then release some Pico 8 games.
Everyone's happy then. Pico-8 already has a pi port.
Provably cost less per unit than this trash.

wow you're a regular steve jobs

Yea let me know when Phil Fish is on board. Then I'll buy one. Not these literal whos.

Despite your joking, you actually can already do it yourself pretty easily now user.
Grab a pi zero for like 10 dollars, the retroflag GPI case for 70 dollars, a license for Pico 8 for 15 dollars, and a 128gb microSD for like 30 dollars. Then download the software.

Ok, you got me there. I guess what I meant is that this is not for core gamers. It's full of gimmicks and presentation but there is no substance. If there was any substance, there would be gameplay footage, (because there would actually be something worth showing) and it would be readily available to the public. Instead of being a limited run $150 piece of hardware. Whole thing reminds of the Ouya, really.

It's obnoxious because the media and people close to it are acting like it's super innovative and whatever. Please, it's an underwhelming little timewaster at best.

But what if I want something fun and novel when it's dark

Where are they saying it's super innovative?

It won't change the industry or anything. I do think its neat because in a way it harkens back to a more experimental time in gaming that had batshit insane accessories and peripherals. Stuff you dont really see anymore. Its a novelty thing and should be fun. Nothing offensive or damaging about it.

Media will always sensationalize stuff like this. The difference between this and ouya is that ouya tried to be a more legitimate competitor in the industry. This is more of a toy than anything which isnt a bad thing.

Buy a worm light like you did with the gameboy.

Or just turn a light on.

Keita Takahashi made Katamari Damacy so sure, I'll count him as a "top game designer" even though you'll never ever find Katamari Damacy in any top 100 video games list, it's just a good experience and that's it, but whatever.
Zach Gage only makes phone games so to the garbage he goes.
Bennett Foddy makes gimmick games, such as QWOP or "Getting over it". He's creative I guess? But to call him a top game developer hurts and cries out how desperate he is
Shaun Inman has developed fuckall that got any attention. You can barely call him a game developer.

we've been in that era for at least a decade now. indie games - except for some of the stuff produced by japanese doujin circles - are all pretentious garbage.

Don't forget that they won't tell you all the games until weeks after the release date

Is this a joke?

takahashi is the only recognizable name on that list, and i can't believe he actually wasted time on making a game for this crap instead of finishing wattam.

Nope. Because they know it won't sell if they let you see upfront that the games list is complete shit

this is fucking pathetic anyone who is an actual shill for this product here should kill themselves

Bennett Foddy. Also, the makers of the hardware made Firewatch. Other than that, it's all iOS game devs.

>takahashi is the only recognizable name on that list,
you're definitely a massive pleb, but jesus christ what were you in a coma for the last year? you don't recognize le epic stream game Getting Over It man?

assuming you're not just a shill, if you want a gameboy replacement with some actual fucking games, buy an Odroid-GO.

Just what I was thinking of when I opened the thread. These were so cool.

And then you notice that it has only 2 colors (black and white) as opposed to the Gameboy's 4, so it couldn't even do that right

he's wearing gloves to hide the color of his hands (black)

The 3D model you can spin around on the site shows the 3.5mm jack is on the bottom.

All this device did was make me want a crank-powered Gameboy clone.

what device is this and does it run SNES and GBA at full speed

>crank to start

their selling point is the gimmick crank. thing is literally a rectanglular prism. it'll be like holding an NES controller. $150 for hardware you could buy for $35. games are black and white minigames and they don't even tell you what the games are because they know no one will spend $120 to play some minigames that they wont even like.

Nah I have a skin condition.

gba fullspeed
snes has frameskips for some godamn reason it's still hard to emulate.

RS-97 is the device.

If you get it do NOT GET THE PRO VERSION, you cannot install the custom firmware on it that overclocks the screen and cpu to run games better at 60fps. The pro literally is not worth it.

Yeah, because that want be cumbersome as fuck and in the way while trying to hold the thing.

Ya know, if this was announced and people just reacted normally, I wouldn’t care. But seeing all these hipster faggots go on and on about how amazing it is just makes me want it fail even harder. Fuck you and fuck your crank.

>It's a fucking arg
If they actually have a decent ARG lined up for this thing, they're fucking brilliant.
They'd sell so many of the fucking things to moderately well off idiots who think they want in on the super cool ARG and then get bored of it after a day and wait to read about it a month later.
$100 might be a more convincing price for something like that, but if that is their intent I'm impressed.

Where are people praising this? Not here.

I hope you realize that this exact thread would still happen with your hypothetical concept. The people on this board hate pretty much everything.

The problem with this strategy is that youtubers have a lot more to gain by making fun of the worst portable console ever made.

If it were $50 everyone would be calling it based

I don't disagree with you. I'm only cautiously looking forward to the other software it has to offer. But anyone who unironically believes that this is anything akin to an ouya (a money grab) should look again. It's a colaborative passion project. That's made pretty clear. Whether it's up your alley or not it's pretty cool to see something like this born from people who enjoy their careers. That's more than a lot of people can say.

apparently it's just been shoved to the side so takahashi can make a game for this piece of crap instead.

I would be ok paying ten bucks for it to play with it twice before forgetting about it forever.

I remember Bennett Foddy because I never really managed to get over it.

>It's a colaborative passion project
And they couldn’t have collaborated a little harder to include a screen that’s not a fucking 2.7” black and white piece of shit with no backlight? Where does the “lol it’s art dude” line get drawn here?

I'm fine with it. It's whatever.

Teenage Engineering designed the Playdate.

I think it looks like a fun gimmick for people with way too much money. This is like the executive desk toy of videogames.

It's a niche novelty device. There's going to be limited quantities sold. They say so on the main website. If it doesn't appeal to you, then fine, but comparing it to a 3DS is missing the point.

This is the laziest attempt I've ever seen.

I am skeptical of the display's resolution. The black and white thing I can understand but such a low resolution I'm not sure.

The price is...reasonable enough, assuming there are 12 games AND the hardware is reasonably high end in both material/build and performance. As far as the games are concerned, they can't all be some little crank-equivalent of a clicker or whatever, I expect some to be in depth.

Its important to remember that the designers here are "Mac People' through and through. They're selling "an experience", and for better or worse it seems to have that kind of ethos. They specifically want to make something quirky and different for the sake of the artistic merit of it, talking about "touchscreen fatigue" and instead offering a crank because its unique and different.

If it was a bit cheaper I'd likely give it a try looking forward to even one of them being really fun, but... I guess i'm not sold on the merits of games that specifically require a portable, black and white only, low resolution and power, device with a crank.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong

Hell no, I rather go on a date with 2DS-tan she is ultra cute and also kinda retarded but that makes her even cuter.

I just don’t like how they’re using the whole “artistic endeavor” BS as an excuse for the horrible specs. Okay, we get it, you wanted to do something creative and new. Why exactly does that mean we have to deal with a shitty low res black and white screen with no backlight? Is that somehow essential to the artistic vision?

Why would I spend $150 on this when I can just save up for a Switch instead

why does your post reek of sÖy

I'm guessing that's because if they added higher specs they'd have to increase the price AND it would look much like "everything else out there" so people would complain rightly that it was just another version of X low end phone/tablet with a crank and/or overpriced.

Lower specs makes it cheaper certainly, but as we've seen with a ton of knock off aliexpress portable emulation consoles or knock off set top boxes, you can still do color and all that.

>Well articulated, moderate opinion

>HUR DUR ONIONS

Woah where did you get that in dev screenshot

I'd say "reddit spacing" but that's easier on the eye.
It's more the ellipses, the "it's important to remember" defensive stance, the fucking reiterating of the product. Sounds like a certain fat melon who fencesits

i bet you got one OUYA too huh gayboi?

The price should be much lower, however, I'm quite interested in the idea. I think it'll be a neat experience. My worry however is in archival, and how it can successfully be preserved for future generations. Either way, this is pretty experimental and I'm looking forward to it, anti-art cucks be damned.

these nu-male hipsters are too ashamed to even tell us the games upfront, but they did let us know that they aren't going to be fun. you do the math.

That's just a fancy weed grinder,isn't it?

The difference is, the Ouya tried to actually replace home consoles. The Playdate isn't trying to do that. It's doing its own thing

They make expensive, cheaply made stuff that looks and sounds really nice. You can usually find close enough substitutes to what they make for half the price though. The only exception is their Pocket Operators (the calculator things) are about as cheap as anyone can get and aren't too bad, but they straddle the line between toy and gear.

meanwhile everyone who can read could put together some rpi-zero based handheld emulator-box for around $50. For another $10 you could even put a crank on every side of the thing

It looks retarded and half of us already grew up with loads of Tiger Electronics games. Nothing I see justifies the $150 price tag. Spend $150 more (like maybe another paycheck) and buy a switch instead that can play indie games if that's what you want. The black and white screen is an obviously dumb and intentional design and comes off as super pretentious.

This garbage would sell like hot cakes in the 90s, but now you can buy chink Gameboys for cheap, packing thousands of games already (normie friendly)
I'm already seeing the verge sticks about this trash being niche and fantastic

Chinese knockoff tech has gotten pretty top. I bought a knock-off Switch controller and it looks and feels exactly like a real 70 EUR Pro controller.

fuck off.

I bet I could sell Chinese bootleg systems to the idiots interested in this if I slapped a bunch of indie devs names on them.

make the screen E-paper, and the crank power it
then I will buy your game

You can actually see in your head the target audience for this.

You can visibly make out the receding hairline, the thick black glasses, the beard and the stacks of funko pop figurines behind them in their wives spare room.

That's way to expansive what what will be an android device with a black and white screen. $50 makes more sense
The input is fucking terrible aswell, only 2 buttons?

Fucking stupid

very low iq post.

>some kid's plug and play for $150
who is this for? do they expect to break even?

aboslutely based

>someone using the skin condition meme I started

They're literally pandering, you fuck off.

hello Chinese nigger

The other guys buy gameboy mini

you can check the archive I was literally the first one to repost these webms when people asked what was up with the gloves saying
>skin condition
people thought I was soulja boy sometimes too.

why are you in this thread.

doesnt tommy die though
isnt that a little foreboding

my nigger

Cool strawman.

Even Soulja Boy's consoles look better

should have dithering instead of gray, since it only has 2 colors

That's terrible but also amazing

My thoughts are: don't rely on me preordering this shit just because you say you're not making many.
If it's not good enough for continued production it's probably not worth the time.
I think it looks pretty cool but I'm not blindly preordering something where
>hmm no games yet, we want to surprise you!

we need more cranks on game consoles, but this aint it chief

I wasn't until another (You) showed up. Stop @ing me.

I have no issue with these lo-fi hipster handhelds in theory but they're absolutely not the right people for it. It would be cool if nintendo / sony / microsoft would do one since they have the clout for some devs to flock to it, albeit with this sort of thing it would be very minimal, but still we'd probably have a handful of neat games in it. This it will always be homebrew tier fucking sokoban clones, the obligatory fishing game, and a gameboy emulator that won't even work well because there's no select and start buttons.
To top that off they don't have the manufacture base so this shit is gonna be too fucking expensive.
It's just another hipster tier electronic that will fall in obscurity just like every other one, and there are a lot of these things.

>The guy who designed this also made firewatch
Oh, that explains why it's so shit.

I thought it was just the company that published Firewatch?

lmao at binglets literally panicking

>Overpriced
>Made by Panic

Hahaha.This never gets old. Little greedy fucks.

>the crank isn't even for generating power
lol ok, would have been a neat feature but otherwise it's ouya 2.0 only worse

This is close to the same setup I've made two albums and an ep on, it's definitely doable you're just a faggot.

I CAN'T WAIT WOOO! This will look splendit with my Funkopop! collection.

it looks fine, whatever. Mobile gaming’s obviously not a big presence outside phones so it’s not like it has much competition.

holy shit, what a pityful worm cuck.
I feel physical repulsion, disgust and dirtyness just by reading this level of ass lickery by an adult shit eating dick sucking faggot emasculated pansy

I have that and while expensive, it is a lot of fun.

>$150 for some ios tier games
fuck off

Whoever wrote this should keep in mind what happened to Tommy a couple scenes later.

How much of a corporate shill NPC do you need to be to fall for this?

faggot look at the screen. look at the number of buttons. look at the fucking crank.
of the creators they listed, 2 exclusively make pretentious short-form indie garbage, and 1 is a fucking musician.
and they're releasing one game a week for free. those games are not going to be long, well polished or technically impressive. if you're into quirky non-games then you might get some value from them, but even then it's not worth the asking price.
just going to call you a faggot again because your post was so fucking dumb.

Why does he sleep in bed with Leshaun?

To keep Leshaun's dick warm, obviously.

I would buy it for 50 bucks desu
150 is too much

Looks like something the nintendies would consider "fun" lmao

99% of the video games published on the west are by liberals

the worst thing I have ever seen. nobody on earth wants this. just terrible and pointless. I'm offended by this

Someone will find a way

>Handheld PC-98 emulator
Yes please

>basedboy avatar

The buttons are always the worst part of any of these clone consoles. They feel like shit, they're almost never ergonomic, and they always feel incredibly cheap.

>no back light

Nope, I am not doing that shit again. I refuse to even entertain such an archaic method of play.

>device turns out to have cool feature
>no replies
I'm starting to think you people are just idiots.
Also the crank sounds fun, I'm sure it'll be entertaining to mess with considering some of the devs on board.

a sóytch

>handheld made by the biggest game company in the world that has had trillions of games made for it from a massive variety of companies over several years
>more variety and higher quality games than some indie limited release device with a finite number of games on it
whoah u people r REELY smrt!

half of them are probably going to be shitty half-baked techdemos for the dumbfuck crank

Its crazy on twitter. I went to their official page thinking I'd see some crazy reply to like ratio but no, fucktards are eating it up

you know what else is portable and can "side load" games?
my fucking phone, who gives a shit

this is really lazy and not cute

>$150
>for unknown games

yeah no

No backlight and monthly games that "appear"
What does that even mean? Are you going to have to plug it in to load the new games every other week? Does it have WiFi?
It's a mess
Cool industrial design, as expected from teenage. The screen and graphics look almost identical to the one in the op-1
This looks like a teenage music project derived from those calculators they have, repackaged as a console by some hipster indie fags
It's a synth

Looks like something only hipsters would want to own.

This is the video games related equivalent of pic related. Made by a bunch of subhumans for subhumans.

and also Getting Over It (a neat game) and Ape Out (a fantastic game)

I think this is cool, but not $150 cool. Should be $50, with it being $80 tops.

AvE's teardown of that thing was legendary.

Im working on making a retropie gba and I have no idea how to get around the board for buttons. They charge like $100 for that shit but I know jackshit about electronics and boards in general. Spoonfeed me user.

Fuck it I'm bored. Where did you bought it from? I see a couple from Aliexpress but theres like billion different sellers.

>150 for indie game & watch
Nah
