Unbelievable comments on that video already. Just goes to show how the younger generation are both ignorant of gaming history and 'entitled' they are.

Looks really nice to me guys, well done again. Will get this as soon as I can.

Excitement! Lord knows I need that this week..

[MattyP]

Looks amazing

PC VR version here ... Not sure if there will be a PSVR2 one though would be fantastic with the adaptive trigger support and headset vibrations etc.

Exciting times .... Guess you guys are on a NDA here but any subtle hint that a PSVR2 version is in the works would be appreciated muchly....

Edit : ignore me just watched the YT video above to the end. PSVR2 it is then! The wait begins! Hope its not too long. Stoked for this!

Tbh an arcade game I admired but was pretty crap at (and I really really dont like games with timers generally) and I do remember the in-between bonus levels being supremely unfair - if you missed one of those spikes the head spat out it would come round and kill you ! I am also sure I remember a level with sharks in the floor.....???? !!!!!!!

just went to search the web and yeah sharks in level 8 - I think I got to level 12 once looking at this video but later stuff is just CRAZY - love the spinning hoops on 18. I did love the fact you could choose the level of 3d you wanted which was cool and essential on some levels.....



I really cannot remember the cab looking like this -



Wow from level 27 on this shit happens "Enemies fly out of the pyramid directly at the player, not the robot; if it should hit the screen, it will cost you a life. You must use the start buttons to change the camera view before it can do this."

So when are we going to get Llamasofts take on "Firefox" then?

As someone who had the rare privilege of actually getting to play the original in an actual arcade back in the day, hope it does well for you guys!

...and literature.

I don't know. As long as folks ultimately know that the 1984 arcade game came first, long before the Will Smith movie - so this is not an attempt to trade off the name of the movie - and they're both taking their name from a collection of Isaac Asimov short stories, then the coincidence could drive eyeballs to this.

And, in fairness, most of the comments are some kind of "Will Smith's gonna slap you" Oscar jokes. And the Internet will always meme.

As long as folks understand where the name really comes from (that there's no attempt to hoodwink them, as the arcade game was called "I, Robot" long before the movie was ever made and they're both trading on Asimov's work, not each other), then "there's no such thing as bad publicity" could hopefully apply here. Maybe.

And, if all else fails, blame Atari.

Indeed I loved the Asimov books. I, Robot was published back in 1950 talk about being ahead of his time. Why I love the SciFi genre scary how much is coming into Scifact....

However, not the perfect and incorruptable positronic brains. That's the problem.

Really working day & night, sometime even around 11 PM, the PSVR2 version is already well working and getting polished .. as for "other VR" I am afraid I literally had ( they left me none ) no time to re-work it into 'the new engine' that would take me some months of work/testing but "we may have future plans for that" ( in fact there are some 'in the air' but not fully 'defined' yet ).

It's a FUCKLOAD of work .. despite we got at the point we more or less can do 'parallel development' on all the platforms PC/Switch/PS4/PS5/PSVR2/Xbox/XboxS/VCS it's still quite some work to "file & adjust" ( and even develop simultaneously ) on all of them there are many "nuisances to adjust" ( and new bugs that get discovered ) all the time ..

Keep in mind we are only in 2 persons with me "doing almost all the port work" so try to think that ( also handling/talking with the testing team(s)/debugging/fixing/trrying to keep Jeff 'as much devoid of that as possible' so he can focus on the game aspects ) ..

And cooking food, cleaning around, checking things, removing the tins of beer, etc.

Excluding VR which one would you choose to play if you were having a quick blast?

...

But that's the main point, they really didn't know where the name came from and certainly didn't appaer to know of the previous game let alone Asimov. More or less all the comments (at the time) were presuming (and expecting) this to be a game of the film. Sad really.

Still, I loved the arcade game and still dabble know and then on mame because it is just so different from most others. Really looking forward to this version though as you know it is just going to be a proper job of re-interpreting a previously great game with the Llamasoft love and magic heaped on top.

Hoping there might be a chance of Major Havoc next guys. pretty please!!
