I agreed back then too:Get in line bro, I waifu'd her several pages ago.
Brittany Saldita's place as the thread's unofficial waifu is in danger...
Waifu is lifeu.
Move out of the way, GameTV crew - Mitsuko Ariyama is my new fav character. This gives me an idea...

I love news posts! Gaming is great, but an alternate time line is nothing without world building. Or, world continuing, I guess.
We seem to be getting a lot of talk about playing the same games on different devices. Jobs wants people to play iTwin games on their iPhone and Microsoft wants people to play Xbox 2 games on their Vista machines. I don't think I get it, because streaming Xbox One games to a Windows 10 computer doesn't work unless you have a really high internet speed, through a home network.
And that's 2018. This is 2007. 3G is just becoming an accessible thing. Steve Jobs wants me to play iTwin games on the bus over a cellular connection? I don't see it working.
Maybe Samsung, devoting a lot of resources to making a home console, partners with Nokia to launch a gaming smartphone/handheld thing. Now THAT would be rad.

Flight Simulator X won the 2006 Interactive Achievement Award for Best Simulation/Strategy title, so it's still doing okay.
About as well as IOTL.
A word on Microsoft Flight Simulator/Microsoft Train Simulator, the simulator-type games are probably never going to be significant enough to cover in depth ITTL. It's just a niche genre, and unless a game catches lightning in a bottle and becomes a massive mainstream hit, it probably never will be. Best case scenario is you get something like Farming Simulator, but even that's a bit of a running joke amongst the gaming community. It is what it is, pretty much. That could always change, but at the moment I just don't see it.
The Elite failed on a similar level to the N-Gage, the only difference is it wasn't as much of a joke as the N-Gage was. Motorola's treading water at the moment, they're not doing great but they're not in imminent danger of failure either. We'll see if their Moto line of phones can enjoy the same level of success as IOTL.
Microsoft and Apple are anything if not ambitious. They pretty much have to be, with the Nintendo/Sony juggernaut still going strong. We'll see how those plans work out for them.
A quick word on today's planned update: I've got 38 different games to write about, and I haven't had a lot of time to work on them with the other major updates this week, so the games update will probably be delayed until this weekend or maybe even Monday (Daylight Savings Time is going to cut into my schedule this weekend a bit). We'll see how things go, but don't expect an update to go up today.
Please understand ^_^

Sorry guys, but Polly Klaas is mine.
Hey, as long as it has the same great quality, we can wait.
Oh wow, somebody told me it was this weekend! Well good, I'll probably have the update ready on Sunday then.
Um...She's an actual person, not a fictional character. And one who met a terrible fate at a far-too-young age. Ew.
Yeah, best to save the waifuing for OCs like Brittany and Lyssa, or game OCs like Sadira, Rebecca, and Stacy.
Well, well, well, quite the interesting timeline you have here. I only happened upon this thread by accident, but boy was it a happy one. As of this comment, I am currently on page 118 and slowly progressing. I have been reading this thread for the past few days.
There are certain things I disagree with here politically and otherwise in how they depict certain figures and events, but that is to expected to a point I suppose and ultimately inconsequential. It certainly doesn't overshadow the sheer detail and effort that went into constructing this timeline.
For one, Halo being a third person shooter?
Pokemon actually progressing? What sort of pact was made to ensure that happened?
Even so, I find myself able to enjoy this thread despite a few slight grievances that I may have, and look forward to future updates.
For now I shall just keep on lurking till I am caught up to the thread. I will admit it is rather hard to follow at times trying to keep track of all the details, but that is a small price to pay for what we have here.
I do think that perhaps that something akin to fan art should be implemented to give us some visuals for what some of the games might be like. Say, cover art and/or gameplay screenshots of certain games. Perhaps either by commission or by request to someone like 98demake?? Just an idea to consider.
Or perhaps something so ambitious as this if anyone is bold enough to try.
Anyway, I am glad to see I have found something special here, and will be keeping an eye on it. Keep it up gents.

Halo was originally third person in its early days, as shown at E3 2000. Butterflies here kept it that way, instead of changing to first person it stayed third.
