Lunar Jetman-Ramake für XBLA möglich
"In our back catalogue, I've made no secret about the fact that if I was to do another XBLA game because that fitted in with what we do, which it doesn't at the moment... and that is at the moment. Because I'd done Jetpac and we'd already got a fairly strong idea for Lunar Jetman, I'd kind of like to do that providing I was given a hard deadline of six months, so it was really tight and quick. Mainly because there's that idea already there," explained Burton.
Jetpac Refuelled was great fun, taking the classic Jetpac gameplay and giving it a modern day visual and gameplay makeover. A similar treatment for Lunar Jetman would certainly be well received.

Naja, scheint wirklich ein wenig aufgeräumter zu sein, aber wo ist die Werbung?? Oo
Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass MS darauf verzichtet...
Ich auch nicht so wirklich. Und ganz ehrlich gesagt, auch wenn ich anfangs, wo ich noch gar nichts über meine 360 wusste doch sehr verwundert über dynamische Werbung im Dashboard war, gefällt sie mir sogar, da sich immer was ändert. Das neue Dashboard wirkt mir viel zu steril! :(
Aber ich hätte auch gern' mal gewusst, wie lange die Installation dauert.

Es gab vor einiger Zeit ne Aussage dazu. Da hieß es für eine 6-GB-Installation von Devil May Cry 4 würde die Box etwa 10 Minuten brauchen.

Valkyrie Profile Coming to Hardware other than DS?
The newest issue of Famitsuu featured an interview with Square Enix producer Wataru Katou (who had previously worked on Valkyrie Profile Lenneth and the PlayStation Portable versions of Star Ocean 1 and 2) and tri-Ace's Shunshuke Katsumoto. […] the two producers also hinted at the popular series appearing on a hardware platform other than the DS in the future. They asked fans to look forward to some "interesting developments on another hardware platform" in the future.

NPD-Vorhersagen für die USA (Juni 2008 )
Irgendwie ist es komisch. Bislang kennt man es ja nur, dass monatliche die US-Hard- und Softwarezahlen von der NPD aufgestellt werden und jetzt gibt es zur Abwechslung mal eine Vorabschätzungen. :o

(Klick für Vollbild)
The in-depth packet doesn't give us predictions of the top selling games of the month across the board, it does tell us that the group believes that the Wii will manage to outsell the Playstaiton 3 and Xbox 360 combined in July and than the DS will approach tripling Playstation Portable sales.
According to the predictions, the Playstation 3 will see a sizable drop this month in sales down more than 130,000 consoles to 235, 447 while the Xbox 360 wil see a drop of 105,000. The Wii's drop will be a predicted and substantial 170,455.

Here are the raw predictions:
Nintendo DS 625,445
Nintendo Wii 612,545
Sony PSP 235,447
Sony PS3 275,444
Microsoft Xbox 360 325,488

NPD says they believe that the Xbox 360's lead over the PS3 this month will be due to the price cut of the 360's 20GB Pro model. The NPD analysis also says that they are uncertain if the 360 and PS3 will receive price cuts before the end of the year, but that if they come it will come from Microsoft first, with Sony following suit.

Vorfreude ist immer klasse. Kann mich noch gut daran erinnern, als ich so im August 2005 meine Box + Zubehör bei Amazon vorbestellt hatte und die mir zum Launch in Dezember 48 Stunden vor dem "Release" nicht sagen konnten, ob man mit der Erstlieferung bedient wird. :B


Brothers in Arms-User-Fragen – u.a. Xbox 360-Demo kommt auf jeden Fall / kein Coop
Dibbs asks: Will there be a demo before the release?

Randy Pitchford: We are 100 per cent certain there will be a demo for 360, 99 per cent certain there will be a demo for PS3 and about 50 per cent certain there will be a demo for PC.

I'm still not certain exactly when the best time to release the demo will be - there are two camps. One camp believes we should continue to focus 100 per cent of our attention on the few remaining issues.
[…]
Medieval asks: Will co-op campaign (2-8 player) ever be in any future BIA titles?

Randy Pitchford: Co-op is a really neat thing that we like. We're seeing more and more gamers getting involved with coop and that's great.

Brother in Arms has been strong as a narrative game, so we focus most of our investment and care there. But, you'll notice that some of our other upcoming games (like Borderlands and Aliens) are embracing coop as part of the design.

Crazy Mouse – Infos, Bilder und Achievements

This new title has you guiding a mouse through a 2-D, overhead-view map, endeavoring to grab and eat more food pieces that are lying in the walkways, so you can score more than your opponent.

There are numerous variations in Crazy Mouse, however, that set it apart from Pac-Man. Here you can also pick up items, such as a boomerang to daze your opponent for a few seconds (or you, if you don’t throw carefully). You can also push the A Button while you’re running to do a little sprint—but be careful, because if you hit a wall or object at too high a speed, you’ll become dazed and lose some of your food gatherings. […]

Domino Master – Infos, Bilder und Achievements

The title certainly fits in TikGames’s catalog, In fact, Domino Master was initially released by the company for PC players. But TikGames understands that XBLA could very well bring it to a new crowd of players who might be willing to spend $5 or $10 to add the game to their hard drives. This is the same developer behind Texas Hold’em Poker on XBLA, as well as the forthcoming XBLA releases, Minesweeper Flags (which it also will publish) and Interpol. The latter title is slated to be released under the Sierra banner—though the recent merger that brings the label under the Activision Blizzard umbrella means that it might be released by the new company or instead could be sold off for publishing by another company.
The five modes are Standard, where the players need to remove their dominoes from the board until one person has cleared out their tile tray; All 5’s, which has players scoring by having the end dominoes on the board divisible by 5; All 3’s, which similarly gives scores for making a move to have the end dominoes total a multiple of 3; Bergen, which is a variation requiring players to clear dominoes and gives points when the end tiles have a number match; and Mexican Train, the interesting mode that has you attempting to create a run of tiles by matching the end numbers one after the other until the tile tray is cleared. The latter mode is perhaps the most fun, due to its dynamic gameplay and its fit as a good multiplayer contest.

Resident Evil 5 Infohäppchen
# Das Spiel ist auf enge Zusammenarbeit der beiden Charaktere ausgelegt. Es wird aber einen Abschnitt geben, in dem sich die beiden trennen und sich weit voneinander entfernen können, ohne dabei das Gebiet zu verlassen.

# Quick-Time-Events werden im Coop von beiden Spielern ausgeführt. Auch dabei muss im Team gehandelt werden. Ein Spieler beginnt mit dem Quck-Time-Event, der andere muss die Tastenfolge dann fortsetzen.

# Es wird wieder einen Händler geben, bei dem man Waffen kaufen kann.

# Es wird darüber nachgedacht, wie man ein Waffen-Upgrade-System in das Online-Coiop-Spiel integrieren könnte.

# Die B.S.A.A. ist eine weltweit operierende Organisation. Sie wurde nach den Ereignissen in Raccoon City gegründet, um gegen Bio-Terrorismus vorzugehen.

# Das man sich beim Nachladen nicht bewegen kann, ist laut Takeuchi ein Element, um die Panik des Spielers zu erhöhen, da man die Gefahren/Gegner um sich herum abwägen muss.

# Auf die Frage, ob es einen Fahrzeug-Abschnitt geben wird in dem z.B. Sheva das Fahrzeug steuert während Chris Feinde abhält meinte Takeuchi, das es so etwas ähnliches wirklich im Spiel geben wird. Nähere Details verriet er aber nicht.

# Das Inventar-System, das man auf der E3 sehen konnte, ist noch nicht das endgültige. Daran wird noch immer gearbeitet. In Richtung RE4, wo jedes Objekt einen gewissen Platz brauchte, wird es allerdings auf keinen Fall mehr gehen.

# Es wird ein Minigame geben, das nach einmaligem durchspielen verfügbar wird. Details dazu wollte man noch nicht verraten.

Fable 2 und Fable 2 Pub Game – So funktioniert der Goldtransfer
When playing the Pub Games, you first choose a gambler. Proceed to gamble your heart out. Then, when you buy Fable 2 come October, create a hero and wander about until you find a "Gamemaster" at a local tavern or out and about. Accept the Gamemaster's invite to play a game where you'll then be given the chance to merge your Fable 2 hero with your Pub Games gambler. POOF! Your hero will now have access to the gold your Pub Games' gambler accrued. You can even merge many gamblers (and their bank accounts) together into one gambler which can be merged with your Fable 2 hero. But be warned. Once a hero and a gambler have merged, there is no undo option or any going back.

Weitere Geometry Wars-Spiele von Bizzare
Chatting with MTV Multiplayer, developers Stephen Cakebread and Craig Howard from Bizarre Creations discussed everything Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2, from their design decisions all the way through the little 3D debug view that was left in the game. But most interesting is Bizarre's commitment to Geometry Wars in the future, telling MTV Multiplayer that "Geometry Wars is definitely a franchise," and that "we have enough game ideas to do Geometry Wars for probably about 10 games. It depends on what will work." Currently, there's a small team at Bizarre actively working on future Geometry iterations, but specifics regarding what games and on which platforms is very hush-hush.

XBLA Spiel “Braid” bekommt Höchstwertungen / ~30.000 (Aber noch zu wenig)
Metacritic_Braid.png

In fact, Braid is the highest-rated Xbox Live Arcade game of all time (out of about 150 games!) Geometry Wars 2, released a week prior, is the second-highest. There are some strong games coming up in the next few weeks, so we’ll see if these positions hold.
But 92 is not just a good score for a Live Arcade game; it’s a good score for any game. In fact, Braid is currently the 10th highest-rated Xbox 360 game of all time — including all AAA high-budget games:

[…]
People have asked me how many sales Braid needs in order to be profitable. The answer is, a lot more than it has gotten so far. (There are many reasons for this, which I may be motivated to talk about in the future). However, things are looking promising now — if Braid keeps selling, I’ll be able to afford to make the next game, and that will be good.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
The September issue of Game Informer has revealed a new Batman game from Eidos Inteactive and publisher Rocksteady Studios called Batman: Arkham Asylum. Below is the description provided by the magazine:

This completely original title explores Gotham City’s darkest location, the infamous Arkham Asylum. But as a routine prison transfer goes wrong, the Joker sets his demented plan into action and Batman comes face to face with an army of his worst enemies. In a dark and gritty setting reminiscent of Bioshock (with a story co-written by Paul Dini), Arkham Asylum is setting the stage for a true-to-character Batman game.

Death Tank für Xbox Live Arcade?

You have absolutely no idea how happy I am that finally, after 10 years of being the best multiplayer experience on the SEGA Saturn, that Death Tank is making its way onto the Xbox Live Arcade.
Death Tank is a 2D multiplayer experience that rocked the Saturn to its core - a 2D, incredibly simple game where you aim and shoot. Think Worms, but in real time.

Overlord 2 angekündigt

Overlord, an original game by Codemasters, won over fans with its creative blend of humor and Pikmin-style gameplay and then went on to sell over a million copies. The call for a sequel was heard loud and clear and now Triumph Studios is hard at work with the title due out in 2009 for Xbox 360, PS3 and Games for Windows PC. […]Overlord II, "massively increases the scope of the original concept," according to Lennart Sas, director and Overlord lead at Triumph Studios. The game introduces a new Overlord, hinted at in the final scene of Overlord: Raising Hell, for a clash between him and a Roman-inspired empire which has plans to root out all magic and take over the world. The game moves beyond the fantasy realm of the first to something closer to our own, allowing the game's humor and satire to hit closer to home. Politics, environmental issues and more are up for parody in this game, though we wouldn't be surprised if a fart joke or two slip in.
[…]
With the Glorious Empire as the foe and a new overlord brought into the fold, you can be sure you'll be seeing a more diverse set of environments. Sas told IGN, "We have new lands, from the icy (but rather festive) Nordberg where minions face up to vicious seals, to a new Magic Sanctuary Domain, where the magical creatures have retreated from the onslaught of the Empire, to the homelands and cities of the Glorious Empire itself."
