DiscreetFX announcement, any news ?

@anyone


Hmm.I understand everyones concern here.......really.............even the naysayers.

But I must say.............Amiga in the hands of DFX is a good thing.........as long as they hold on to the Amiga properties no matter what. There is a reason for this.....and I will reveal it if Amiga ever returns to its glory days.  

I am 100% positive Amiga can take the entire WIndows Market by storm very easily if my plan is followed to the "T".  its so simple its ridiculous .....I cant fathom why the heck no one has done it before.

I notice former Amiga owners seem to have some pride issue about their Idea for Amiga rather than the Amiga computer itself. This is a formula for failure:

"Pride goeth before destruction.....and a haughty spirit before a fall"

This statement is true, and I see it happen evey single time. The key to success is to firt Humble onesself and step out of onesself and their glory and motives..........Commodore wanted money, money, money....this greed is why they failed......because they sought so hard to want to be like a PC, they went downhill......exactly the opposite of what should have happened had they focused on the Amazing machine they didnt know they had..............Amiga would have beenn at the forefront of Internet access, MP3 technology, Flash5 and all these popular formats and gizmos had Commodore seen this vision.

I know I saw this vision long before it happened and envisioned the Amiga doing this...............All I thought was "The Fools!..how can they let the PC beat them under their noses like this"

Anyway...........Amiga can rise again and even remove the Apple iPod out of our memories.  I have a list of plans I have been writing for years. Some take money and sacrafice.............but more importantly.........100% trust in these ideas...........im 100% positive they will work and that every Amigan will return morew happy than ever before.

that said.........I am all in support of DiscreetFX. They have done nothing but be willing to embarrass themselves by mentioning the Amiga....which they know is a good machine..........thats how I know I can trust them.....I myself have defended the Amiga to my embarrassment at times......because most PC users today know nothing about computers really o how good the Amiga OS STILL is.

I vote of Amiga Inc and DFX to merge if necessary.

If good things will come out of this.....Ill be praying. :-)

Sad to say, but I think it will be slightly boring to find that Amiga is going to be bought out by some video guys if the deal goes through, but then, what do I know?
-------------------------------------------------------------------


Actually....quite the opposite will happen..........You see.......If Amiga can be successful here in the Video Industry Once again.......it means it will become Mainstream enough, that Games developers and other companies of old, will return to the Amiga..they all loved the Amiga.  And when something Succeeds in USA..........it usually means it will succeed in the World!   Thats the stupid mistake Commodore made when they designed the CD32....to compete against the Pathetic MegaDrive/MegaCD which was popular in UK but seriously pathetic here in USA.........The SuperNintendo was and still is the Superior Platform.......but to their ultimate Dumbness........Commodore needed to design the CD32 to compete with the Up and coming 3DO and Playstation.......not  the old and obsolete MegaDrive............it's real funny because they thought the had something good simply because it was better than the Sega MegaDrive. Commodore UK didnt get out much let me tell you. And this was Commodores problem with other Amigas.....I used the CD32 as an example to make things clear of how little Commodore knew about making competetive products in its later years.


Once again.....a simple formula for success: Make something that will be considered Darn good in USA and Japan..........and it will be Darn Good in the rest of the world. And when I say that.........I mean Better than a Mac and better than and X-Box 360 or Playstation 3.  Otherwise its just something nice, but that wont succeed. At least not  for long. It will remain an underground machine. Im not willing to delve another 10 years of my life for another stupid underground machine...........We have Linux boxes for that!  As a matter of fact..........that will be the sole reason for me getting a PS3 if I get one at all. Its the closest thing to a Super Amiga/CD32 with SX32.


@humppa

Sorry...........I dont know who helgis is. But I have utter confidence in the Amiga Idea.

@Dandy

On Planet earth...........dont believe me?

Successes:

NES 8 bit  USA Japan = Successful in the world
SNES USA, Japan = succesful in the world
Commodore64 USA = most successful computer in the world.
Playstation USA, Japan = Successful in the world
Playstation 2 USA, Japan = succesfull in the world
X Box................."""""""""
X Box 360............""""""""""


Failures (because of where they were popular)

Acorn
MegaDrive
Spectrum
Amiga CD32
Amiga

need more examples?  I got more..................so whats the point I am making?  That USA knows how to market and knows what doesnt suck.......im not sure 100% what the reason is btu part of it is that we get out alot...and unfortunately other countries such as the UK dont get out much.....that explains why they think Sensible Soccer is so good........then whent its ported to a good System like SNES, Playstation....absolutely no one buys it.

Sensible Soccer gfx were unacceptable to me. I dont understand how that and Cannon Fodder got such high ratings being as crappy looking as they are especially fore the time they were released. they should have looked massively good. I understand the concept and play may have been good.

Im not trying to say that other nations suck.........it just that America is a huge melting pot.......and we have talent! just look at our films and Hollywood!  the highest quality films and ideas come from here. I dont always agree with what the movies are about because I think talents are sometimes used for evil.................but nevertheless......we got marketing Skills up the Wazoo!   agreed? understand what I am trying to explain?

well.......its true.

USA is full of money, and that's all. Jens and Dennis are from Europe, Elbox people too, DCE, Amiga france....

Amiga failed because of bad Commodore management, Sinclair (Spectrum) was very succesfull (2 million sold units) and that is more than all Amiga models...
---------------------------------------------------------------

 I wasnt talking about people who make add on hardware...Im talking about people who make competetive products to compete with the best ones of the world. America and Japan are good at this.

Jens is awesome DCE is awesome and EYETech are awesome. again Im not knocking peeple..just certain companies.

as far as Spectrum being succesful...just cuz it sold 2 million units doesnt mean it was succesful...........just as if an AmigaONE sold 10 million units. I wouldnt consider that successful.  Im talking about competition beating success.  as an example, X-Box and Nintendo GameCube could be called a success here in USA as they all did well....but PS2 squashed them like a bug!  thats what I mean!


@Crumb

MegaDrive was indeed successful...........until the SNES came out..wich was definitely the superior console...........Megadrive continued successfully for a while because of the good games and exclusive ones...........but they later realised he Megadrive wont last and released the Crappy SegaCD for it.....then later the 32X to try to compete with Ninedos SFX chip on the game cartridges.

The success I would strive for is Apple Mac and PC beating Success if I were in charge of Amiga.

By the way....A500 was successfull  "in a way but not really when compared to other computers" mostly because it was so darn good, and was easy to get fre games...........every friend I had that had an Amiga including myself, got one of these because of the games we could get for it..............it was like the MP3's of today where you could just download to your hearts content. But mostly it was an Amazing computer.

This can be achieved today again!  We need Japanese Games and Psygnosis games back!  (a UK company by the way ;-))
