Intellivision Amico - Tommy Tallarico introduction + Q&A

5 minutes ago, Tommy Tallarico said:

For sure!  The next 2 or 3 videos will probably be focused around the pack-in games. 

 

 

BTW... ALL of the pack-in games have already been rated by the various rating systems across Europe & the UK!

I second this.  Oh and Tommy, please tell us what the 6th pack in game is this month.  Pretty please.  I'm just kidding.  I know you want to wait until closer to launch.

Yeah, we're going to wait and reveal that one with someone really big with a very wide family audience.  Can't wait for people to check it out... and of course... play it!

I really wish it was Bomb Squad, but I bet it’s not. 😔

Wouldn't that be something?  Hopefully we can meet up once this pandemic is finally over with.

Super nice video someone posted today.

 

It's a strange yet cool privilege for people I don't know wanting to meet me.

 

It's a huge honor and I always cherish the time and thoughts.

Well, if you’re ever in the uk, your welcome to pop round and have a cup of tea. 😀👍

I'll be there too.  I like tea.  We'll have tea and biscuits while playing the Amico.

Hi Everyone!

I'm typically the one who gets a lot of the questions... so I thought I'd ask everyone here one. 

Trying to be as non-biased to your own wants/needs... at this point, if you had a choice for a new video would it be...

 

1.  Brand new game footage of something we haven't really showed before (or at least too much of).

 

2.  A game showing off what the controller can do and why it's unique.

 

3.  In depth interview with one of our developers.

 

4.  In depth interview with someone on the Intellivision team (who isn't me!).  If so... who or what department?

 

5.  An interview or focus test with moms, families, seniors.

 

6.  Suggest a subject to me not listed!


No need to pick just one either, feel free to give them back to me in order of importance and with notes, suggestions.

 

Thanks!!!

 

p.s.  Please don't ask about physical media.  We're saving that for a very special partner.

 

 

 

 

Any video showing off gameplay and the unique controller features is always cool, my most anticipated game (that has not been showen since the first trailer) is the “dolphin game”/ecco, would be great to see a new trailer of that one😃

Yes and yes.  Also, seeing more of the dolphin quest game would be nice.  I'd like to see the Running Man game in action.  I'm also hoping for an update on a few games such as; Bad Dudes, B-17 Bomber, Bowling, Flying Tigers, Lode Runner, Microsurgeon & Warlords.

According to Wikipedia, the 6 pack in games have a release date of 10/9/21.  Maybe the FE is coming out on that day?  I'd like the FE to be out a week or two before launch.  All the other games in the list that have dates show 10/10/21.

Sounds good.  

Quick question for @Tommy Tallarico - I understand that with the delay that you are baking some dev time into both the initial batch of games. Plus solidifying the 2nd wave and beyond! Dropping little hints here and there. 

I've also heard you mention that the hardware is 99.8% (or 99.9%) done. This leads me to my question - Has this delay changed anything on the hardware front? I think it was about this time last year that you doubled the onboard storage. With some of the parts shortages going on. Has this changed anything else?  I know the quality will be there, so I'm not worried. Has the delay caused a "rethink" on the lifecycle of some of the components? For example: The Snapdragon (whatever model it is) is one year older than when you chose it and were expecting it on market. That means one year closer to the end of life cycle for that specific chip. Are you going with a different model than original Amico test machines? Same with other components. 

I'm happy to watch the sausage being made! Or the Candy:

His store in Florida would be a fun place for Amico. I know it's a one off store. But this is a unique place.  Not just candy. He has Games.Toys. Food. Family fun. (Plus over 500K subscribers on youtube).

With spring coming up, maybe there can be another discount code for the IE shop.  Lets go for buy one get one free.  Lol.

That was a neat story.  Thanks for sharing.

Ciao a tutti!

Di solito sono io a ricevere molte domande ... quindi ho pensato di chiederne una a tutti qui. 

Cercando di essere il più imparziale rispetto ai tuoi desideri / bisogni ... a questo punto, se potessi scegliere un nuovo video, sarebbe ...

 

1. Metraggio di gioco nuovo di zecca di qualcosa che non abbiamo mai mostrato prima (o almeno troppo).

 

2. Un gioco che mostra cosa può fare il controller e perché è unico.

 

3. Intervista approfondita con uno dei nostri sviluppatori.

 

4. Intervista approfondita con qualcuno del team Intellivision (chi non sono io!). Se è così ... chi o quale dipartimento?

 

5. Un colloquio o un focus test con mamme, famiglie, anziani.

 

6. Suggeriscimi un argomento non elencato!


Non c'è bisogno di sceglierne solo uno, sentiti libero di restituirmeli in ordine di importanza e con note, suggerimenti.

 

Grazie!!!

 

ps Per favore, non chiedere informazioni sui supporti fisici. Lo stiamo risparmiando per un partner molto speciale.

 

 

 

 

1 and 2 definitely.  I'd like an interview with unreleased images and videos with the guys who developed the controllers.  I would like to see the first prototypes and know how the final solution came about.  I'd also like to see how the console's lights interact with games.  Regards.

In order for people to receive their founders editions before october 10, they would have to ship well before october 9.

Of course it has to be shipped before 10/9.  I'm just saying that those who pre-ordered the FE would get it by 10/9.  That's what I meant.  I should've worded it better in my original post.  Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for posting that link.  I was looking at the dates and noticed something interesting.  There are currently 6 titles listed for release on 10/9/21.  Five of them are the known pack-in games.  The sixth one is Back Talk Party.  You don't suppose that is the mystery pack in title do you?  I doubt it.  But who knows?

I was under the impression Back Talk Party is the 6th Pack in game. I don’t think the official name of the game has been announced. Some called it the “ice cream game” lol

No apology necessary.  I was just saying that date in wikipedia can't be accurate, they would have to release the founders editions before october 9.
