10 DUMB Kickstarter Video Game Consoles 3 - SGR

5:42 Never trust a guy who thinks that DVD players existed at the time the television was invented.

[@Camelotsmoon]

Those didn't exist 90 years ago? Really?

[@ImpetuouslyInsane]

Even a meat/over thermometer would be better.

[@carolin2544]

The audio based "console" (it's more of a board game collection imo) seems like a good idea for playing with blind/visual impaired people. Everything else is pretty shady or downright bs though 😄 More videos in that room please, it's glorious 🙏

[@fireflocs]

Guys, stop trying to make whole new consoles. You don't have the dev teams, PR departments, or relationships with third-party companies that the console big boys have. Make an accessory for an existing console. Make a controller even. Make something that people can use _with the games and set-ups they already have,_ but that in some way improve the experience. That's how you get wide-spread adoption, how you leave a long-lasting impact, and how you set a goal that's legitimately achievable.

[@batarasiagian9635]

Agreed. This is a sensible approach.

[@OrgaNik_Music]

Yeah, massive overreaching seems to be the common theme with all of these.

[@quazznorm1777]

Agree. Hell if you succeed with that you might end up making connections that can actually make the whole making a new console thing viable eventually.

[@dstinnettmusic]

Do...do you think the people in this comment section are the type who would make a Kickstarter console?

[@zombified_pariah7720]

Why can't it be more like the 80s and 90s when new consoles were getting pushed out like hot cakes... :(

[@fuzzydude64]

I feel like the Hubiz dice thing could be a cool gimmick peripheral if somehow combined with existing board games but on its own it's pretty underwhelming.

[@Sporkmo]

So if you haven't heard of the boardgame company Golden Bell you should look into them. A history of late or barely fulfilled kickstarters, angry backers, and vitriol towards the backers from Golden Bell. I don't know the full story, but it seems like a creator you should look into

[@MichaelMangi]

That might be worthwhile. The crazy thing is I saw one game I had purchased a few years ago at a con is now being produced by Golden Bell but it sounds like their kickstarter for a revised edition of the game is having similar problems. I also see in the update their game designer quit so I'm wondering if the creator has just decided to wash his hands of them.

[@ParkNikiSK]

People still making Android based consoles? Did no-one learn from the failure of the Ouya?

[@LI-qf3oc]

It isn't that weird. Technicaly the switch is android based... And a big success.

[@MeMe-dg4oh]

@@LI-qf3oc How is the switch android based exactly?

[@LI-qf3oc]

@@MeMe-dg4oh It isn't did some reading and it turns out I was wrong. I don't know where but I've heard it was basicly a modified android OS. Turns out it's a modified 3DS OS which is fairly impresssive tbh.

A TV plus a unit for streaming? So this guy hasn't heard about smart TVs.

[@nicwelch]

To be fair the processor in those usually sucks and it’s not unusual to have an external streaming device with a smart tv.

[@KaeYoss]

@@nicwelch I have a comparatively cheap LG smart TV (well, more than one), and they get the job done quite well, whether I watch stuff from streaming services or from my NAS via emby. It certainly blows the fire tv sticks I had before out of the water.

[@LendriMujina]

5:43 "The TV started off its life pretty simple, just needing a DVD player or VCR--" ಠ_ಠ About 40-60 years off there, bucko. (Though admittedly that was the most entertainment I got out of this entire video. Seriously, I second the other comments' sentiments, this feels like a bargain bin version.)

[@KimJongBeIllinDaily]

[@alaeriia01]

[@batarasiagian9635]

Many thanks for these videos. You are performing an important public service through user education. Hopefully fewer people will be duped thanks to videos such as this.

[@vaporwave2345]

Considering how *brainless* consumers are these days, it's an absolute miracle these consoles didn't scam more people. 😂

[@informitas0117]

@SailingInTheSky I think he means anyone who isn't his own impeccable self.

[@marzipan__]

I live for that chiptune version of the Papers Please theme

[@tomenza]

Honestly, with different dice, I can see the dice thing being useful for DnD, especially if you could install custom apps and interface it with a phone, dungeon masters and players could use it to track and recite damage, HP, other stats and such. Could also use it as a sort of hub to connect every player's phone without the need of WiFi, internet, or the limitations of Bluetooth. (and upboat) (also, fuck Android-based consoles/handhelds)

[@Roadent1241]

Now I wonder if I could play DnD with friends in America with that system via phone codes or whatever linking system works? I know that's extremely long distance and still would have mass lag but....!

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Seeing the Trotter family during that Raid sponsor was pretty funny mate. I think all British youtubers should dress up like Dellboy and Rodney. during these sponsored ads.

[@pferreira1983]

The lack of awareness hasn't gone unnoticed. 😁

[@BroomPusher2024]

[@B33FY2011]

Salted popcorn for me. Sweet just doesn't compare and I think it's sickly after a while. But there's nothing better then being in the cinema watching the one movie you've been looking forward to for about a year or so with a massive box of salted popcorn with a chocolate, crunchy milkshake.

[@malik87breaker]

[@admiralfrosty3495]

BrunoDSL leave him alone, I have no problem with Slopes getting a sponsor. Just skip it, micros transactions are nothing new in mobile.

[@raihidara]

I know I'm an idiot for this but that Combiform controller actually looked pretty cool in an arcadey sort of way. It's purely a gimmick based device that would only have specific games developed for it, but I could see potential there.

[@Azariachan]

A console encased in aluminium? What a smart design choice. After all, consoles never have problems with overheating or anything even if they're just made of plastic. Absolutely nothing could go wrong by using metal instead.

[@MeMe-dg4oh]

How is that crazy exactly? What do you think PC cases are made out of?

[@Azariachan]

@@MeMe-dg4oh And why do you think PC cases are so spacious while the small, cramped consoles are made of plastic and even then they overheat?

[@GareWorks]

Actually, metal cases can be used as a heatsink. Some Raspberry Pi cases do this, for example. So it's a rather clever idea... if done correctly. Which, granted, it probably wouldn't be if it's made by some nutter on Kickstarter.

[@eval_is_evil]

These videos are so fun to watch,good ol DJ Slope. **High five** dont keep me hanging **crickets**

[@slopesgameroom]

Too sloooooow

[@the-NightStar]

I hate this new format for KickScammer. It feels like you weren't even trying and just threw this together with one tenth of the effort you usually put in.

[@schnorks0]

This video felt really dumbed-down compared to the other ones. I'm not against switching up the format or keeping things fresh, but this felt more like something intentionally meant to be snappy and lowest-common denominator. Why make cotton candy when you're so good at substance? And it felt especially weird considering the subject matter.

[@slopesgameroom]

Honestly there really isnt much to talk about with these campaigns for the most part besides them just being bad ideas... never fear the standard format will resume in the next kickscammers :D Cheers for the feedback

[@seijakijin1160]

Thanks for this again! I love these videos. It’s such a shame when good ideas never come to fruition! Have you ever managed to get one that did?

[@jaypadron6302]

I’ve talked to that Zach guy before awhile back. After this campaign, he still kept on with this project. Kind of. Instead of making a console, he started making custom cases for PCs and also offered the option to put together the PC if you wanted that. I had talked to him on Facebook and I think he deleted his account awhile back.

[@chadschmaltz9790]

I miss the deep dive into each crowd funding campaign and what happened to the projects and the people who made it. I'd settle for fewer entries per video if more time was spent on each one. I know that not all of them will have an intriguing story, but with the number of scammers out there, I'm sure there are enough interesting stories to make into several videos.

[@transcodeshootingstar8266]

I really miss the old format, the new one just seems kind of insincere...

[@xenxander]

yes because what I need is a device that randomly talks to me asking me if I want to try 'xyz'. It's basically a living commercial in your home you can't escape. If this thing ever saw full release, marketers would have a field day with it, offering huge sums of cash to get their items 'suggested' by the device and then it says 'okay' and charges you for the thing you said yes to, not realizing it's charging you.

[@OrgaNik_Music]

I must say I enjoy this newer style of yours with you actually being on camera, and the whole video feeling more fast paced and tightly edited.

[@superanthony2266]
