Forums - Microsoft Discussion - EVERY GAME is coming to XBLA

thekitchensink on 13 July 2009

When I saw this thread, I thought you were saying that every Xbox 360 game is coming to their new download service.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I'm so excited for Monkey Island, have they given a release date (or release window) on that for XBL?

Monkey Island and Madballs will both be out this Wednesday morning, so the release window is "approximately 38-40 hours from now".

 


Whoa! I didn't know it was that soon, thx sinha.

 

No problem, just spreading XBLA awareness.  And by the way, Monkey Island is only $10 / 800 points!



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

Gamerbytes:

A new game being published by Microsoft's Korean handle has been rated on Korea's Game Rating Board - dubbed Soccer Genesis. Currently nothing is known about the game, but like almost all of Microsoft Korea's entries into the system, it'll most likely be for the Xbox Live Arcade.

I feel like trials is way overpriced, as you could get it on pc for under 5$ not too long ago.

@ steroid

SHUT UP.

It is upgraded in everyway and the tracks are now heavily physics based, like rolling down a slope on top of a giant sphere desperatly trying to stay on top with your bike. It also comes with a map editor.. Look up the trailer for it.

Think of it as the XBLA equivilent of Little Big Planet. Except you are using Motorbikes

Personally I think this game is worth way more than 1200msp. $15

Joystiq:

 

Speaking at the Develop Conference in Brighton, England today, Team17 leader Martyn Brown described his studio's forthcoming digital release, Alien Breed Evolution, as a trilogy -- "one of the most expensive digital titles to-date," too -- according to GamesIndustry.biz. Said to be costing in the realm of $2.5 million to develop, Team17's Unreal remake of its Amiga shooter will be distributed in three parts, spanning an estimated 15 hours of gameplay. The first "episode" will include three, one-hour levels and an additional three-hour, co-op scenario, and is scheduled to hatch on Xbox Live Arcade around October and destined for PSN at a later date, confirmed VG247.

Who the heck mentioned Radiant Silvergun?!? I have to give him a hug or something!

If it's really coming for XBLA, bricks will be shat.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!
