you misunderstand me sir.
I'm not condemming it as many such as I presume yourself will find a great deal of pleasure in it and lets face it this is a retro based forum.
my point is that with Neon Yak and Giles showed that they can make the 360 jump through some amazing hoops which still make me hoot with glee and it seems a shame to go for a third generation of an idea when they're talents are so obvious.

And to further clarify people need money and developing is expensive so if money can be made with a community game on live then so be it.

Ps no I don't have any original game ideas before anyone says it. :roll: :wink:

I just dont get it, We have been waiting for years for neon for the pc?
There is the 360 control for the pc? Most pcs can handle Neon because its been a while and specs on pc are always upgraded. So whats the hold up? It seems this is a product where Lamasoft has the best product and this is where they should release it on the biggest platform the PC! From what I understood it was virtually done in 06 its now 09? We need to get a definitive answer as to if we are waiting for something or nothing? There are lots of people ready to put down good money for the bests lightsynth on the market! Many people use the pc and laptop for Music! If I can run fallout 3 on my laptop of 3 years I think there should not be a problem with Neon. Cant they just publish it like SG? So please guys let us know the deal?
Thanks

It's delayed because the 200 strong development crew of Llamasoft are frittering away their time snorting coke off the top of PS3's.

Whilst there is quite a lot of dust on top of Yak's PS3, I'm fairly sure if there were any traces of coke on there my finely tuned nasal sensors would have spotted that...

Thought this Adobe Pixel Bender/Flash experimental piece looked similar to Neon's webcam integration:

Pretty cool. Needs a webcam, though.

I would love NEON for PC too... There are no decent lightsynths for PC afaik (if you know one please post it). There are all to boring.

Cause the PC has a support for XBOX360 Pads, i guess NEON would work AMAZANIGLY good with the PC. Please please MISTER MINTER release it :) We know it was all hard work but yes.

Welcome arcadenostalgia, to the fluffiest :fluffy: forums :fluffy: on the :fluffy: net! :D

I doubt Neon will ever be out for PC (in the original format/version/build), but who knows what lies in the future? :)

This thread is about the original idea to release it for the PC. :wink:

It's not gonna happen, so let it rest in peace.

But can they give us a definitive answer on weather it will be released on the pc or not?
Some of us have been waiting for years and we would like to know if it is all in vein or is there a payoff for the wait?
Please Jeff and Giles let us know?
Thanks

They have!

Which means (if you're still not sure) that Neon won't be released for the PC.

"It has not been released on the pc" does not mean it will not be released? Just means it has not been released up till now. I think they should release an official statment or let us know if there are plans for the future release of neon for the pc? SG Was Released for pc buy this seems to be too similar to tempest which was already released for pc. Neon is a totally different. Its an interactive visualizer. MS should be supporting Neon for the Windows Platform just like they port Halo to PC. What are the reasons this seemed to be a virtually completed product with gamepad support from MS 360 controller and a huge PC user base with little competition. Seems like a great revenue stream to tap in to and many pc users have upgraded hardware from 3 years ago when they were planning to release in 2006.
Come on Give us a good light synth for the pc. this is Jeff & Giles Signature Hit product, Neon Neon Neon. All PC Users want this!

I'm not sure where you're from, so will accept that you may not have understood the phrasing of the original statement.

Jeff & Giles did not just say "It has not been released on the pc", they said they had their reasons why it hasn't been released.

Those reasons do not have to be explained.

The fact is this; PC Neon has not been released on PC.

It has not been delayed or put on temporary hold.

It has not and therefore will not be released on PC.

Is that clear enough?
