What consoles do you never use?

Exactly what it says on the tin. I never use the Super TES, TES 64 and Game Sphere (obvious), but I also never use the G64 and Vena Gear, which some people might find strange because the G64 has a higher market share than the PC until its decline, and once you’ve made a few cult hits an extra 15k shouldn’t be a problem. The Vena Gear might have the same bonuses as the Gameling and a higher tech level, but it’s got less market share and it’s another licence to buy. Agree? Disagree? Share your thoughts.

G64, Master V, Vena Gear, Vena Oasis, Game Sphere, Playsystem (Surprised?), grPhone, grPad, and PPS.

G64 never worked out when i see it on Let’s Plays, i don’t like the 8 and 16-bit era of Vena, Obviously no Game Sphere, and Playsystem’s not good for what i could think of, and i just don’t like Apple products in real life, and i don’t like PSP’s!

EDIT: It turns out that i USED the Playsystem. But i got a lot of income from it (sarcasm level reaching one thousand).

Mature games for the PC, forever, until you research your own console (excluding publishing deals, of course)

#4

CONSOLES, not content.

#5

The implied answer to the question being “all consoles, except the one I develop myself”

I thought that was more obvious :blush:

#6

Oh yeah, so you only use PC? PC is not a console :slight_smile:

#7

I’m surprised at your removal of the Playsystem. I’ve always used it, and I’ve recently started using the PS2 instead of waiting for the mBox, but I’ve only made it to the PS3 twice. On my first run, the mBox 360 just looked too good, but I used the PS3 for big hits on my second run (higher tech level, see?) Always used it for Abiosis, my BioShock parody. Those were always Playsystem-only games. Original Abiosis on PS1, Abiosis 2 on PS2, Abiosis 3 on PS3, and Abiosis 4 on PS4

#8

So you use the STES and TES64? How does that work out for you?

#9

I created a bunch of arcade game-like games on the STES, i usually start my 3D version 4 on the 64.

I usually go on the Dreamvast other than the PS1, after the Vast has been beat by the PS2, i started making sequels of my games on that console. I sometimes skip the mBox, but i used to make good games on it, and i continue onward.

I’d like to see some screenshots of the games you made. I might take some pics of games from Nerdgasm Games, my bestestest game

The early platforms tend to get some use, if only because of publisher contracts dictating that I develop for them. The TES64 is the first real ‘don’t bother’ console that comes out when most players are at the 100k fan mark. It is completely upstaged by the Playsystem1. Even for its lone boosted genre (action) the PS1 provides the same boost with better market share. The Gamesphere is likewise ignored except for the novelty factor.

After that, I’ve never developed for the PS3 or the PS4. They tend to be upstaged by the Mbox series of the same type.

On the handheld front, the GS is be all and end all of my handheld gaming needs. I NEVER bother with PPS, the Gphone, the Gpad, or the Mpad. IF I’m going to do late-game medium titles, it is going to be on the GS. The sustained market share and the huge flexibility of that platform makes me wish it supported large or AAA games.

I USED to have the Nuu and the Wuu on this list, but one of my recent play-throughs found a really strong use for the Simulation-Casual multi-genre combo… one that gets platform bonuses from them but not from any of the other major Large-capable platforms besides the PC.

Unfortunately, i lost the save file when i rebooted my old pc, i’m using my new pc now. But here is a picture of a cat.

#13

I wont list what I am not using but what I am using Longer list otherwise. As far as I have gotten in the game I have used only the PC PS and PS2 G64 and the gameboy forgot its name in the game… :smiley:

#14

These are 9 of my successful games in my new save file.
@Charlie Can i create spoilers? HTML spoilers are pretty long, so…

Showing only the best you fancy show off :stuck_out_tongue:

#16

It is easier if I say what I do use PC and usually my consoles

#17

I tend to ignore the entirety of Ninvento and Vena. I start with G64, make 2 or 3 games on it, then jump ship to PC. Ride the PC to the PS1 era, make a couple for PS1, then jump back to PC. After that, it’s PC the whole way, until I make customs.

#18

WHY? Gameling, PS2, mBox 360, you’re missing out on teh moneys!

#19

@WaveJones Just add SPOILERS and then start the post a couple of lines later :green_heart:

#20

@Charlie Oh okay. Thanks! :smiley:
