hah, took me a few seconds to work that one out

Cool this will be great.

The only thing I would have changed would have been the shape of the ship. It is an exact rip of the Geometry Wars ship, copyright infringement?

Other than that looks cool.

Do you have some screens which show GWars's ship? I've never played it before. I did play a PC clone and laughed at just how much Vektar and GW are so different (yet look so similar).

Looks awesome but I can't make out the shape of that box, can I order it with other soon coming commercial gp2x boxes in dvd box like state?

What other GP2X boxes?

There is a comercial game box for SD/MMC cards: N-Gage Game Box.
what was the argument against this design?
patented?

 

[jmetal88]

ohh thats good, i thought it was either that or chop it apart to open it (hate those especially when you have no scissors handy)

If it was chop apart, I doubt he would have sealed a dummy SD card in there. It'd make a waste of a box.

 

[Vimacs]

Damn i looked forward to a pretty _box_, this thing is ugly!

 

[Montsubai]

Yep, I expected a NDS/PSP style box

 

[greenmikey]

Psh..you that fret over boxes are crazy. Some of those psp/ds games sell more then the gp2x itself. They have money to blow on packaging. I'm sure we could have cases just like that for 4-5 more dollars a unit.

That would just be an inflated cost where the profits go to nobody..

I don't mind the blister pack. Boxes are nice, but take up a lot of space. The graphicalised bit in there... Is that a manual or just a piece of cardboard? Just curious.

Oh, also: It would be cool if there were stickers for the SD card holder as well, so you could have a cover that is a Vektar cover.

 

[sparr]

if i had shipped this, it would have been in just the standard SD case... sticker on the front and back. guess im a minimalist.

PS: maybe you have to save the stick figures?

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

sorry to say this in a vektar thread, but although this game looks great, and I'll probably buy it eventually, I'm REALLY looking foward to payback.

Do you have a better idea of when it'll be available craig? That's a sure-shot deal for me.

 

[shinneri]

Yeah, I thought it would be a nice case like the DS and PSP have. But ah well. Still looking forward to the game. Maybe I'll go for the download version...

 

[Wite_Noiz]

Well, each SD card will have an SD holder (from the picture)... isn't that the case?
The blister pack is just on Intel's old idea of "people want big things for their money".

Looking forward to this, though.

 

[Magnulus]

*is still curious as to whether that back-bit is a manual or just regular cardboard fancy-pants stuff.*

I'm quite tired of memory card blisters in general being so damn huge. There are too many different kinds and sizes these days for us small shops to possibly have room for them all! They could be a quarter of their current size, and not a tear would be shed.

So yeah, manual? Possibility of "cover" sticker for the SD card holder?

 

[skarmachild]

Not sure why people are complaining, I think it look gobsmackingly awesome.

Licensed soundtrack? Awesome backgrounds *cough*?

I'm picking up my copy! How much will this be when released in UK£?

 

[invinciblegod]

IS that a CRAPPY blister pack!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

whoa, you guys are touchy

 

[DaveC]

Looks good to me, I will buy it..

 

[Nova]

What's all this about not likeing the blister-pack? If the game's good then it won't be in your shelf, surely, it'll be in your GP2X or in your pocket, ready to play.

Looking good, Craig.
