The Behemoth, the indie studio responsible for Alien Hominid and the hit Castle Crashers, has finally announced a platform for its upcoming Game 3. Previously, no official statement had been made regarding which consoles would see this upcoming title. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, a representative told IGN that Game 3 is officially coming to the Xbox Live Arcade.
But wait, there's more. Game 3 has previously only been shown as a multiplayer game. That same game mode is what is on display at Tokyo Game Show, but the group is ready to start talking about a few more details. There will be a story mode to the game, which can be played offline by yourself if you like. It follows the character with a big top hat, who just happens to be the main villain. He's described as "psychotic" and "always experiencing more than one emotion." This evil-doer has gone off and trapped innocents and it's up to you to free them.
When asked if Game 3 would ever make it to PSN, as Castle Crashers has recently been announced for, The Behemoth told IGN that the only console they can say Game 3 is definitely coming to right now is Xbox Live Arcade.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
