ANATREMA CADA SU DI VOI !

Voi che prendete e forse, e dicerie dall' intersnet e pensate dunque che quella e sia, e insformazione ?
Voi che scrivete cose stwittando come uccellini e non sapete piu', e parlare a piu' di 250 caratteri per frase ?
Credete dunque e forse che io, e non vi, e veda ?


Dallo sdegno mi ribalto ! *FLUMP*
8O :lol:

I think your spoken and written English is better than most born and raised over here. :D


To be frank, Atari’s marketing/PR is continually shit.
Why didn’t they release a press statement/tell you/Jeff separately about the VCS version?
Why wait until the internet has gone postal about their ‘fake’ video? :roll:

Why do we not have a further statement from them about the latest reported release date? :roll:

If you're talking about the article I wrote, that's not what I said at all! I've seen comments in the threads I linked in the article about the grammar used in the original posts that caused the whole silly thing to blow up in the first place, so I put in a short disclaimer as to why. The first line in the imaged comment in my piece is "Ok finally we had some talk" and that phrasing is going to come across as unusual to a native english speaker, and that's just a single example. It wasn't meant as an insult, but rather an explanation to the reader with an implied directive to lay off. I'm sorry if it came off as dickish, but the line really was meant to address comments I'd seen on Reddit and Resetera rather than as an insult to you, and the whole point of the piece was to kill the rumors rather than keep a pointless internet conflict running.

To be fair, even the Italian I speak "some ( Italian ) people may not get it" :lol:

If I speak my native dialetic event that "tends to be so full of irony and references" even local people may not fully get it.

For example, I may leave you as an "exercise" and "discovery" in certain Italian culture to figure out what actually is that Italian stuff I just wrote and where it comes from.

Even if you are an Italian and you are not at least 30 years old you may really not understand what is actually that thing I wrote and the meaning of it :mrgreen:

I could have gone "even worse" and to the question "Is there going to be a VCS version of T4K ?" I could have replied "Incertamente" and this one single word "has a profound meaning" but you have to look into "Cipri' and Maresco and Mr. Paviglianiti" .. too complex to explain :mrgreen:

Anyway I hope at least some of all been sorted now and people are reassured that T4K on the VCS is going to be a reality.








If you really really can't find that Italian thing, you should check this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGHD92OuIDE

Thing is, no build up from Atari! If it does release this month it will release to a cool wind, they need to put some advertising behind this or most people won't even know it's out there. Very poor on Atari's side I have to say, or whoever they are.

They’re not even at E3. :?

It would’ve been great for them to be there and to fly Jeff out for the show.

It would’ve. :roll:

To be fair to Atari spending money on E3 if you're a mid teir publisher is like putting it in the toilet and flushing hard.

You just can't get noticed in all the noise.

What I hear at the moment is that even "BIGs" are E3 are quite a bit 'disappointing' I mean "not much to see really".

Other indie devs at E3 on my Twitter feed have different views:
”Events = more eyeballs = more sales = less debts. And helps if it's all done in a DIY bargain-basement style.” :wink:

Well it was supposed to be out today. I've not looked yet but judging by the forum traffic it seems like the date posted above might be a more accurate one.
Please can we have ps4 space giraffe?

Amazon USA had June 12th as the release date. Now it says June 26th for Xbone and PS4 at Amazon, Gamestop, BestBuy, and probably others.

I'd like to be able to play this game. The shenanigans of "Atari" are taking up much more space in my head than that company deserves.

and no pre-order on the PSN network, that's just stupid! Now is the time to start those sales and build up, this really is quite mad.
