Last time he said something it was Amico games all have exclusive features, because he mentioned Overcooked and another game I can't recall as possible titles.

In this case it would likely be a different MLB game.

It will be a baseball game IMHO, just like NES and many systems had. It won't be a MLB baseball game, which was my original comment.

Not necessarily true.  RBI Baseball has an MLB license and it's out on mobile platforms, as well as consoles like PS4 and Xbox One.  I don't know that it would be worth spending the money on such a license for Amico if they had a fun baseball game that didn't benefit from such a license, but Sony certainly doesn't have the exclusive.

Apparently that game was developed and published by MLB Advanced Media, so I don't know what is going on now. I guess Amico could technically get RBI Baseball and have a MLB licensed game. See, I can admit when I'm wrong guys!

Maybe I just suck at searching and/or I'm lazy, but couldn't find details on that bit.    What does that "7 out of 10" thing mean, really?  A game has to be scored that by the "in house" curators at IE before it gets released, or they're banking on 7 out of 10 metacritic score post release?  Or something different?

Basically like the old Nintendo Seal of Approval. If they don't feel like it rates at least at a 7 out of 10 rating they won't publish. It's their own internal goal of not pushing out shovelware. I think it is a great goal to have and I hope we don't see too many games axed because of it. I think they've already abandoned some games that they felt weren't at a 7.

Are the new RBI Baseball games any good?

I can see soccer moms buying the system but I don't see anything that will get the kids to keep playing. 

Again, half the games to be released 2020-2021 have not been announced yet because they will be aimed specifically at the target audience and IE is waiting until close to launch to announce them for better impact, just like the larger audience interviews.

I know but no "new" games aside from EWJ have been announced so I didn't know if it was even touched on yet. 

 

That said, Im curious if the Karma Engine will get tiresome.

Um IIRC single player experiences would be around 5-10 hours. I would guess that EWJ would be similar in length to the originals.

 

Karma engine can be turned off.

And all I can react to is what we know, sorry if I'm not willing to hang on to the promise of "more to come." If the Amico wants people to get behind it they need to stop the drip feed and pup out one of those "big" surprises.

Well, Tommy has said the 3 BILLIONS!!!!!!! mobile gamers, but also families, but also young kids like around 7, but...
Honestly after all that has been said I don't know WHO they are targeting beyond anyone who will buy it.

Proof that you have no clue what  talking about or quoting. 
it just doesn’t stop with you ,

 

spewing out comments without doing proper research. 
Tommy Has mentioned over and over why and who they are targeting.

That's *your* problem and perception. And yours alone. Stop trying to convince and project unto others. Counterproductive and bordering on slander and defamation at this point. 

 

And Amico already has plenty of people behind it. As per the relatively quick (#understatement) FE sellout in short order.

They have people behind it if you look at the FE sellout rate and they would rather wait until Summer for the big reveals so they have more impact on release.

Is this not the place to discuss your feelings on the Amico, whether good or bad? I guess you haven't read any opinions on the Amico besides the TT approved ones because MANY people feel that way. Considering the forum members reaching out to me in DMs here and on Twitter, I can safely say many here also feel that way.

Ouya raised $950,000 in 8 hours...A limited edition selling out is not a good indication for how well a system will do.

You mean the only relevant point according to you, you have no idea what other kids but your own are playing. Do you know what my   15 and 19 are playing ... no Let me tell you both my kids prefer simpler fun games more then the hardcore one's , yes they have ps4 , but let me tell you they play Wii and The original intv more then the ps4.  Wh

I just think it's hilarious that he automatically assumes we don't have the MLB license.

He's really gonna hate our next press release.

Not really assumed, I guess you missed the article I posted and the admission that there is chance after all due to RBI Baseball...I look forward to reading that press release BTW.

I'll make you a bet.  If we have the MLB License you can never talk about Intellivision or Amico ever again in any capacity and you need to immediately delete your account here. 

And if we don't, then I'll make you CEO of Intellivision (because you seem to know so much more than the rest of us).

 

Wanna bet Mr. Know-It-All?  C'mon... you're always so confident.  Take the bet buddy.

You implied IE didn't have it, even though you didn't assume they didn't? What are you doing?

Absolutely, I can't think of anyone better.  Her viewership is huge.

Let's see, MLB and Sony put out a press release saying X and I believe X to be correct...the horror! If I was incorrect, then simply correcting misinformation as was suggested by the mods would be the thing to do no?

Heehee, I told my kids that if they tilted the paddles for Warlords that they could control what direction the ball would go when it hit. They've resorted to tilting themselves, because even though the ball bounces off the block randomly, they think the more they move, the more control they have. So hilarious to watch.

That is genius and funny as hell.

That is not what were discussing you said if he wants people behind it, blah blah blah. He has people behind it and is waiting for close to release for big reveals. You reply to questions like a troll, so I am done.
