Three points to this thread. The arbitrary distinction between electronic games and traditional games is by and large nonexistant. The only difference, really, is that with the advent of computerized gaming we have an impartial referee that maintains the rules for us, instead of having to monitor ourselves.

It's a sick sort of elitism to consider God of War above the beauty of chess.

It's just a gimmick! Why do you need a pop-a-matic bubble to roll your dice when you can just use your hands, or a cup Yahtzee-style? I don't see how these "innovations" add anything to the gameplay when the old standards work just fine. :\

The bubble is revolutionary. It stops asses from doing stupid throws with their dice. Everyone throws the same way whether they're a first time gamer, or whether they're experienced. Its all about balance, and fun!

What if you just hate chess? Your concept has fallen.

Yeah, but even then, the bubble can only be used with Trouble. You can't just take it off and use it with other games. It's so stupid to have a proprietary dice-roller like that. Like I said, a gimmick, since it is useless for most games. Trouble isn't even all that great of a game and, unfortunately, any merit it actually has revolves entirely around the bubble.

ENTERTAIBLE FOR THE FUTURE
http://www.research.philips.com/initiatives/entertaible/index.html

"The Entertaible concept is a tabletop gaming platform that marries traditional multi-player board and computer games in a uniquely simple and intuitive way. Entertaible comprises a 30-inch horizontal LCD, sophisticated touch screen-based multi-object position detection, and all supporting control electronics. It allows the players to engage in a new class of electronic games which combines the features of computer gaming, such as dynamic playing fields and gaming levels, with the social interaction and tangible playing pieces, such as pawns and dies, of traditional board games.

Initially aimed at the out-of-home game market such as restaurants, bars, and casinos, Entertaible has the potential to evolve into a gaming platform for the consumer market."

Next-gen SORRY! looks hot, but does it run in 1080p?

 

[Belfast]

Whatever. you bitches will troll anything. Just because Parker Bros has a 60% share of the market, automatically everything they release has to be part of some evil agenda. Maybe the act of constantly rolling dice has scrambled your brain a bit? The future is the popamatic bubble, and I promise you that when the next round of games hits, EVERYONE from Milton-bradley to Hasbro will make it STANDARD, and you little has-ho's and Mil-tards will turn around and lap that shit up like it's honey. I'll be in the Connect-Four forum if anyone wants to try and convince me otherwise.

Go back to your dice in a cup, jackasses. try not to hit your head when have to go reaching for them under the refrigerator.

Why fix it if it isn't broken? Half the fun of a board game is rolling the dice and seeing what comes up. Taking a hands-off approach to the mechanics of Trouble essentially turns it into a NON-GAME. I'll eat my undershorts if it sells even a thousand copies. Not even Sucker Bros fans are THAT stupid.

 

[Belfast]

Um. You can just mod that shit with a hairdryer and a butter-knife. I even hear of some TSR players that customize that shit with their own fucking DICE. You know PB wants people to do that because there's ALWAYS a sales surge when the mods hit the scene. Nothing beats Monopoly with a popomatic bubble. SORRY FTW.

Yeah, but after-market modifications don't factor into sales. Is this what Sucker Bros meant when they stated Trouble would be a vehicle for "human energy?" What a load of PR crap that is. I've heard they're even trying to sell different bubble skins and themed dice to try and capitalize on the modding craze.

 

[TekunoRobby]

In 10 years there will be PunkBuster for boardgames.

Hey, if you want to see a real advance in board game mechanics, it's this:

Yeah, Captain Bones beats your shitty little pop-o-matic bubble like a bitch.

Motorized skeletons are the future of board gaming.

Just look how fun this is:

 

[Belfast]

Oh, like Ha$bro won't jump on that bandwagon with microtransactions, or better yet, rehashed sequels? How many versions of trivial pursuit are we up to, now? Exactly. They dilute the market with shitty licensed versions of their own titles, and now what was once a beloved series of trivia games has become a fucking joke. Whatever. I guess you'll always have UNO. :lol

Oh, so now I'm a Ha$bro fan? What's with the generalizations? I don't even like UNO and that ghey UNO H2O spin-off. How are you even supposed to play cards in the pool?! It's just a waste of money and they haven't even made the cost of development back. I'm no Has-ho, but I'm not going to pretend like Parker Bros isn't making a lot of bad decisions, either.

I don't know why you're bitching about Trivial Pursuit, though. Who cares how many times they re-make the game as long as it's still fun? People will always love trivia, but pop-o-matic bubbles get snooze-inducing FAST.

If you're not going to do a game like this in 24 bit color, DON'T BOTHER AT ALL.

Yeah, whatever. See where it says "CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts: NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS" ? That means it's not for you. K? bye.

Oh how creative, coming from someone who needs a BUBBLE to roll his dice.

 

[Gandara]

I don't like the plastic look of the pieces. Oh wait.. it is plastic.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Looks like Ha$bro is in trouble.


http://money.cnn.com/2005/04/29/news/midcaps/bored_games/

Hasbro, the No. 2 toymaker after Mattel (Research), doesn't think so even though the leading maker of board games posted an unexpected loss last quarter on the back of weak sales of both its trading card and board games.

Analysts estimate that those two product categories together account for as much as 40 percent the company's total sales.

In a conference call with analysts, CEO Al Verrecchia attributed the decline to retailers' changing their order patterns for games. According to Hasbro, toy sellers are buying more inventory of games -- about 38 percent -- in the fourth quarter and are keeping their orders lean for the rest of the year.

HAHA, SEEMS OVER FOR HA$BRO


HA$BR_OWNED TOTAL!



I'm going to wait until Parker Bros. releases thier next batch of games. That's when the next gen REALLY begins.

 

[Belfast]

Awe, like dropping them into a cup and shaking them like baby's first martini is any better? :lol

Hey, you don't see Vegas hotshots (ADULTS, OVER 21 ONLY, durr) using a bubble, do you? That's what I thought.

 

[Campster]

Perhaps these would be more appealing to your tastes?

Civilization

Doom

World of Warcraft

 

[SKOPE]

I guess you'll always have UNO. :lol

Screw UNO. It requires proprietary cards that only work with one game.

Crazy Eights works with any standard deck of cards. Cards that can also be used to play Poker, Blackjack, Gin, Rummy, Go Fish, and countless other games.

And don't try telling me UNO's proprietary cards allowed for innovation. The only thing UNO has that Crazy Eights doesn't is Draw cards. And those just make the gameplay experience frustrating.

Why play World of Warcraft for three months straight when you can pay the exact same for a poor boardgame imitation, weeee!

Granted they are excellent board games and are very well designed.

Why? didja find some l33t h4xx for them, too? cheater. The Monopoly Guy is gonna haunt your dreams.

I found a duplication bug with one of the quest cards. Let's me use unlimited health tokens and power cards whenever I want.

I'm thinking of using it to farm out gold tokens to sell on ebay!

Those screens are totally Photoshopped, if you can't see it you must be blind, I mean look at all the AA, wrong resolution too :-( Also the pawns don't look nearly realistic enough, they need more fur-shading!

BTW, Yahtzee fanboys, start your own thread, why is it every time someone attempts to start a civil discussion about Sorry, the Yhatzee fanboys come in here and turn it into a flame war!!

Also: Domino Rally oooh, and Battle Chess, now I'm gonna have to unbury my old floppies to play that awesome game again, Battle Chess next-gen pls!!!

Mr "I SUCK AT TROUBLE" ? WTF. He couldn't stand the heat.
