Crimsonxking brings up a good point.
Is there or is there not an eye rolling emoticon on the forums? Hmmm. All this being new is no good for me. No good at all. Oh, what? On topic? Uhhhh ummm.. I believe everyone's points have merit?! |
Gilrod, seriously though you should have chosen you're timing more carefully until you were absolutely sure, we have after all been waiting for years.
|
Seriously enough, I was going to wait for a mod to say this but it seems good coming from me. Can we stay on topic and leave Mr. Gilray alone, he's developing one of our favourite game series again, he's actually bringing it back, three years ago we couldn't have done more than speculate over this, he's already said that he couldn't help but postpone the release of his projects. Just be happy. Geez.

An announcement of an announcement, huh?
Well, I'm not happy that the July release date has been pushed back, and there's chances that they might not even announce something in September either. Not gonna whine about it, and I don't reckon anyone else should either. Take a look at the SonicRetro forums. They're full of the whiniest, bitchiest nitpickers ever. If things keep going as they are, there's a chance these forums could turn out like that too. Also, Stewart, I understand you're excited for the project, we are too, but I think you're right in saying you should close your mouth from now on, until you have a genuine announcement, that is. It's common for projects to be delayed, and when you say something will be announced at a certain time, people expect it and raise their hopes. When it's delayed, people are let down. A surprise release of the site would be awesome. |

... and I disagree on your last point, I'd rather him talk, but I already made my points on that so I'll not be redundant. |
Like I said, this is what MS told us themselves. So I suspect there is different tech at play here for > 2GB :p
|
:
Games on Demand use a different file structure than Xbox Live Arcade games. |
What? Why? That makes absolutely no sense.
|
:
Also, everyone saying there is a 2GB cap, shut the fuck up. You do not know what you are talking about, even you supposed MS agent. Looking at my 360 right now, the Lara Croft game is 2.02 GB Suck it |

Seriously. Trolling only works when it has some part of itself steeped in fact or previous conversation. It's always best to try and stay as on-topic as possible when trolling. I'm trying to help you. :
|
The fact that you typed out a 4 paragraph response to one sentence shows how hard you got trolled.
|
How about stay on-topic, ah?!
AbeMudokon has been sent many messages asking if it's going to be on psn/xbl, but he never answer like people would like to. I'm one of them! Do you guys think all the new games are going to be released on both platforms? Sorry if it's off-topic! I'm new here |

The second was trying to get it back on-topic. The other two were to "everyone else", which means not you. ;) But, of course, that's all irrelevant. It's never the size. It's the content. Someone good at trolling would know that. |
Daxter King stop the stupid trolling, really what are you trying to achieve here?
Anyway, I have to admit it's kind of weird MS caps the download size differently when it's a Game on Demand or Arcade Game |
Probably because Games on Demand are worth it because they're almost guarenteed to sell well.
|
Buuuuuuut, it's supposedly not an arbitrary cap, but rather a technical cap. Which doesn't make any damn sense.
|
The way the two things work are completely different. Like, where and how they store the data. It's different. I'm no Xbox 360 mechanic, so I don't know the exact details on the differences, but that's the answer.
|
Okay, but that doesn't make any damn sense. Now that I know that it's a problem with the way that the game is stored, I'm just going to store it differently.

It may well be a beaurocratic restriction rather than a hardware one. Perhaps they take a smaller cut of the profit off Arcade games and thus want to limit the number of games in that list. The result would be that games that are especially large or polished would be forced to go through a standard release (followed by a Games On Demand release) and not just be on the Arcade.
|
Games on Demand are just retail games that did very well, and we're put on that service a year or so later. If what you're saying was the case then we would see a whole lot more than we currently have. No. Microsoft cleans up on the Arcade games.

Would you be willing to bet that they didn't sell well?
|
Do you guys think an announcement will happen tomorrow or something?
AbeMudokon tweeted: "One of my buddies from Mudos is saying hi tomorrow #Oddworld"! I hope so... XD |
I also hope so.
Gillrod tweeted earlier that: "Friday September 3rd, such a good day for news ;-)" Which technically could mean a good day for awful, terrible, horrific news but probably means a good day for good news. ;-) |

It's possible we will hear something tomorrow. But it might not be an announcement of the game yet or anything. Could very well be anything. They might also get shafted by things again and not be able to announce what they want to. I'll make sure to keep checking back tomorrow anyway, of course.
|
Yeah :/
An announcement is to much to ask for, but maybe some information, I guess :) |
