Is this coming to XB Arcade?

MeechMunchie 03-19-2011 11:21 AM

World Of Tanks? I doubt it.

Ridg3 03-19-2011 12:48 PM

I've been playing the beta for it, I wasn't thrilled.

Dynamithix 03-20-2011 03:19 AM

I'm going to get Outland when it hits XBLA, it reminds me a bit of Oddworld and overall seems like an interesting game. Trailer for it:

The art-style looks like a mash-up of Oddworld, Braid and Limbo.

The story sounds lame and clichéd. Gameplay looks like it could be hit/miss.

And Tron.

Looks pretty cool. Voice-over is freakishly annoying and seems to be attempting an imitation of Jack Nicholson not giving a shit. Not sure about side-scrolling swordfighting - perhaps I've just been scared off by the original Prince of Persia, but I've never felt that it works well.

Manco 03-20-2011 04:40 AM

Outland reminds me of:
  • Prince of Persia
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • Tron
  • Samurai Jack
  • Braid
  • Limbo
  • Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus

And yet it still looks pretty interesting.

Dynamithix 03-20-2011 05:17 AM

When I first saw it, it reminded me of Oddworld/Shadow of the Colossus mix really. But I'm going to get it if it's 800MSP, if it's 1200, not sure.

Mac Sirloin 03-20-2011 05:57 AM

The gameplay is a sad and watered down version of Ikarugas. I know that Ikaruga didn't invent polarity changing as a key gameplay element, but a bullet hell game where you switch back and forth with that much frequency has been done before, and better.

Looks like a bunch of better ideas mashed into something mediocre.

MeechMunchie 03-21-2011 12:30 AM

As you say. I can find no hook in the gameplay.

Dynamithix 03-24-2011 04:30 AM

A new TV spot for Mortal Kombat. An interesting choice of music, but it works well with the clips. Nice.


MeechMunchie 03-25-2011 05:30 AM

We got a bug.

http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/25/re...nd-mech-suits/

Red Faction: Armageddon promises more large-scale fights and big explosions. Since that was really the only reason anyone played the first one, it should do well.

And since everyone ignored my thread...

Wings of Fire 03-25-2011 06:08 AM

The first one?

The THIRD one.

Mac Sirloin 03-25-2011 06:39 AM

It's a reboot, jackass. You skee-daddle, now.

MeechMunchie 03-25-2011 08:11 AM

Me or him?

Mac Sirloin 03-25-2011 04:41 PM

Myself, actually. It's not a reboot at all. I'm silly.

Saints Row 3 will be better.

Daxter King 03-25-2011 09:50 PM

I really enjoyed Guerrilla, but I probably won't get this one. Partially because its in between Brink and Duke and partially because I don't like the direction of it AND NO FUCKING MULTIPLAYER.

Dynamithix 03-26-2011 12:41 AM

Crap, I forgot that Brink was coming out too. I almost pre-ordered it last Autumn, but soon after that it was delayed. I don't know if I'm that interested in it anymore though... Looks cool.

Daxter King 03-26-2011 09:00 AM

If you like objective based multiplayer at all you should get it.

Dynamithix 03-26-2011 09:34 AM

I'll get it a while after it's release probably. I don't have enough money to buy it when it's released, Mortal Kombat and L.A. Noire are more important right now!

Dixanadu 03-27-2011 05:28 AM

Saints Row & Red Faction are in the same universe, I heard.

Strike Witch 03-29-2011 03:38 PM

3DS tomorrow~

I'm gonna get Pokeymon as well as one 3DS game. Probably Samurai Warriors because it's an easy button masher with lots of levels.

Mac Sirloin 03-30-2011 12:14 AM

Anyone who buys it within 6 months of release is pissing their money away.

Yeah, have fun with Pokemon and DEEP DIVER, LOSER.

Crashpunk 03-30-2011 12:20 AM

I didn't get the 3DS because the launch wasn't the best. I want to play Street Fighter 4 and Pilotwings resort though.

Dynamithix 03-30-2011 04:27 AM

What Mac Sirloin said.

I'm going to wait until RE: Revelations and RE: Mercenaries, then I might buy it.

Phylum 03-30-2011 05:11 PM

I am definitely buying one for KH3D. Square Enix are fuckers for platform swapping every other Kingdom Hearts game.

There are other games I want, too, but that's the package sealer.

With enough luck, I'll convince my mum that she wants one so that I don't have to pay.

Strike Witch 03-30-2011 07:03 PM

Goddamn this thing is fun. the 3D effect works perfectly for me so far, and the console itself has a bunch of cool little games within!

MeechMunchie 03-31-2011 09:54 AM

Lots going on today:

Hawken releases new footage. I don't want to overexcite you, but I think it might be the best thing ever.



Darkspore is in beta. The consensus is it's a bit rubbish. Give it a whirl on Steam anyway.

F.E.A.R. 3 also has new trailer.



And nVidia released a bigass new beta drivermajig. If you have GeForce card you might want to check it out on their website.

EDIT: Also, Brink continues to impress with some of the most masculine-looking graphics ever seen. It's like Team Fortress 2 on steroids. I'm not going to list all the features, but I heartily recommend you check out their website.

It looks fucking amazing, doesn't it? Now go through the entire website again.

Finally, a game learning from TF2's mistakes.

Dynamithix 04-05-2011 06:52 AM

New Brink trailer just in. Looks really cool.
