Jason writes, "Kickstarter has been and is quite the platform for crowdfunding. It’s practically the hope that some entrepreneurial-spirited individuals need to take a leap into the wonderful world of risk-taking. However, Kickstarter is also a risk for one other very important party: the backers. We’ll get to why that is, but first we need to start with the differences between a commercial product and an independently crowdfunded product."
The original PlayStation library has dozens of classics long since forgotten - TechStomper unearths five of these gems which have been lost to time for one reason or another.
Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time
I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)
First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..
@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.
We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level
The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
OVERRIDER is a new sci-fi roguelite about hoverboarding and smashing robots, and there's a Kickstarter campaign to help get it funded.
Cinnabunny and Time is Honey are currently up to be crowdfunded on Kickstarter right now. They're both adorable.
"Why Germany is a Cautionary Fascist Tale"
By "Cautionary" do you mean everything that is wrong with gaming and crowdfunding, shrunk down into one singularity? Then yes it is "cautionary".
nice article- people need to understand that backing a Kickstarter is not the same as investing- not even close- it is more like an unconditional gift to someone telling you what you want to hear
