Ok, so at heart I'm a retro person, but for this I think I'm gonna have to buy a cube. And to be honest, I'm proud to say that now...

Jeff, I'm not gonna try and give advice or anything, just make us all the happy tripping grinny mental people that you know you want us to be...

And we'll love you forever ;)

/me hugs Jeff

Congratulations... :D
thanks!

I know it's going to be hard work at times, but as you can see I have excellent people behind me and I really think this one is going to be very special indeed :).

Now I really have to go push the Hoover round... I'm expecting invasion by the double glazing people any day now. And I really hope that an installation blokie shows up soon to turn the large pile of oddly-shaped boxes in my hallway into a functioning Personal Earthstation ;-).

I consider myself a retro gamer, too - but mainly because it's usually the retro games that have wholesome gameplay goodness. Not always - but often.

However, when has Jeff every put anything but gameplay first?

'Zactly :) :) :)

And on hardcore hardware? Ooo, lumme!

Well, there's a reason it isn't audio-reactive - Yak has no beat detection code in place - yet.

Keep in mind that the GC has a multi-read laser, and with the wide availability (in the US at least) of mini-CDRs, you could slap a couple hundred megabytes of MP3s on one and pop it into your GC for some true VLM goodness...
I was just wondering about this myself - I was just debating with the guy in the next cubicle how much you could get on a mini CD-R (about 30 mins of CD quality audio or 200-and-odd minutes of MP3 apparently). That would be *seriously* quality if the Yak could put that feature in!

Wonder if the Big N would allow it though - I guess there's no technical reason why the GC couldn't read mini-CD although they probably don't want to get involved in any potential music piracy issues...

Maybe Yak could put a hidden menu/feature in somewhere for just this purpose - enter "Baa" or something in the hiscore table to unlock music-reactive VLM 8)

Hehe. I was shameless in IRC and I'll be even more here - anyone want to lend me the money for a GC? ;)

No, no I jest. I really have no reason for one yet as I'm only gonna be buying it for this game. Whether anything else comes afterwards I don't know (oi oi ;)) but...

Man. It's things like these that make me glad to be alive, and I really mean it.

As far as I can tell, there isn't an issue. How does that enable or support piracy in any way? It's a game system, not a home stereo, car stereo, portable CD player, portable MiniDisc, etc... that's like saying Sony would crack down on someone somewhere for putting a CDR of ripped tunes into one of their car stereos... not going to happen, I'd wager.

Bit late, maybe, but - throbbing great mounds of congratulations, mate! Bet you're soooo relieved to be able to say the 'G' word and the 'U' word. Just give us that storming great retro-fitted pure-gameplay-and-beyond experience we all know you're more than capable of.

And, finally, Rik, Jed and meself can switch Smug Mode off. ;)

dtj is dead right, by the way. The music is going to be VERY special.

Oops. Slight regression back to Smug Mode, there. :)

Oh my, this is quite exciting.

So I'll have even more reason for me shiny black NTSC cube then? Apart from the 5 quality titles (and 10 average ones) that I already have...

And anyone who's thinking of going out to get a GC based on this news; if your TV can handle SCART RGB (most can) and your house can procure electricity made out of tiny weeny particles, buy a Yank or US/Jap modded cube and a special import RGB cable from Saurian on the Edge forums (forum.edge-online.com trading folder) - do not get the horribly software-strangulated PAL machine. There's just so many essential games for it that won't get to the UK for ages... if on the other hand you're patient types...

This is where Yak says the PAL release of Unity will be 6 months ahead of the US version :D
