It's a cunning ploy to get you all to buy Drift

As the next game to come is GR+++ (for XBLA and/or PC), I would imagine that Neon won't show until next year, if at all. :|

So you think neon for the pc is cancelled?
Could anyone give us an official word on that?
There have been so many people, waiting for so long, it seem only decent to give us an idea if we are waiting for nothing, or its still comming out?
If not what happened? and why not?
Thanks

I don't like the "if at all" part :( Here's hoping for a release soon after Gridrunner +++

Frankly I've kinda given up on Neon PC, and at the risk of being fire bombed by other members, I think the forthcoming Gridrunner+++ shows a distinct lack of originality on the ideas front which is what made me a fanboy of Llamasoft in the first place.
I understand that it is technically difficult to account for all the flavours of PC out there and expensive to develop as well so it would be good to get a definitive answer from Yak and Giles on this but I don't want to bother them with PM's, but Neon is a true tour de force in the lightsynth world along with the Jaguar CD unit synth and it would be a crying shame for Llamasoft not to finish it and be crowned kings of the trippy visualisers.

I think all we can really say on the subject is that Jeff & Giles have their reasons why it's not been released for PC, and that their priority at the moment is to continue with game development.

How can you say this having not played it yet?
GR++ had some good ideas that built on 'standard' old school shooters and I hear that GR+++ builds on this further.

because building on is just that building on old ideas, Yak in my ST youth was the main man and as far as lightsynths are concerned he and Giles still are but it's still a rehash wether I've seen it or not.

I understand that which is why I tried to be inoffensive in my post but it is how I feel so there it is. :?

Yes, T2K was just a rehash of Tempest, Llamatron was a rehash of Robotron etc etc :roll:

All I'm saying is that until you play it, it's a bit rich to be condemning it...
