Wheelspin for the Wii (by Bethedsa) had 8 player split-screen multiplayer.
But six? That might be new.

PS... I remember citadel
Oh, man, that looks great, but I actually had a C64, and my nick is a System Shock (2) reference.

Totally OT but that game was on the BBC Micro, and on the loading screen it had *SPEECH SYNTHESIS* - unheard of on the BBC at the time. It would say "Citadel... Citadel... Citadel... Superior software presents Citadel". Scared the pants out of me the first time!

Credit to Sony for not placing any exclusivity clauses in their contracts with these devs.

I'd love to see more home computer retro releases on these new consoles, but I'm afraid they're going to be largely ignored, the same way they were last gen. Retro console and arcade games are all right, but where are the Spectrum, Commodore, Atari, Amstrad and BBC classics? Although I suppose many are in the licensing limbo.
Hyper Light Drifter, Guacamelee Super Turbo Championship Edition, Super Time Force are all joining the "drag me over to the current gen" list.
On that list is No Mans sky, Contrast, Killzone, Ryse and Forza.
But dickhead policies (from both console makers) and pricing means that the time for me to jump in is further and further away.
But these fucking games...man.

I want Chuck's Challenge so bad. I was somewhat obsessive over Chips Challenge on my C64

Super Time Force will also be on 360 if you have one.
Sweet, my 360 is fast becoming my favourite gaming platform ever, that's through XBLA and indy games, Dishwasher Dead Samurai <3

I recognise maybe 20% of those titles and that is kinda exciting. I like the fact that all of these games are probably great because they have been vetted. Not anything against the PC's 'anyone can release' system, but it's kinda cool to know that these particular ones are probably very good.
Trailers for all games:

I don't see how that connection could be made (that they're all probably very good).
It's supposedly not hard to get the ID@Xbox program.

Nothing! I said nothing!
I always thought indies would find the best use of Kinect and maybe even the cloud.

Nearly all of the trailers are in the OP.
I missed a few out last night because it was late, will add the ones I missed later.

yay for indies! Indies for everyone!
This is definitely encouraging but damn the only decent looking games on that link is Super Time Force and Hyper Light Drifter. Everything else I've already played on other platforms like Contrast (not worth buying under any circumstances) or the game looks like something I'd wait for humble bundle on steam.

I don't think the developers even know what it is yet :lol
It's an extreme eSports game where the point seems to be to get the ball into the C shamed Goals at the side of the screen. But it's so loosely made that they're able to drop in crazy fun stuff fairly easily. So it could have a bunch of crazy modes, modifiers, or more features added at any time.
If it plays anything like Pitball on PS1, I'll be quite happy with it, lol. I used to love that game, great to play Co-Op.
It's apparently even going to have a singleplayer mode well, but they have no idea what it's going to be yet.

I really hope you're not buying it day one just because it has 6 player split screen, a feature you probably won't use at all.
If you want to see how it's going to look, it's available on PC. Compared to Vector Unit's work on Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Riptide GP2 is positively spartan. The water effects are the exact same as Hydro Thunder Hurricane, the jet skis are low poly, there's very little in terms of environment. It plays ok but the physics are somewhat sluggish and the replay factor is pretty low because the AI in career mode is ridiculously easy. Even the sound effects and music are mediocre quality.
I rarely regret spending $10 on an arcade style game but I regret buying Riptide GP2. From what I've seen, the XBO version looks exactly the same only with 2 more split screen players over the PC version.
Edit: Added some screenshots from the PC version. The settings screenshot is maximum graphic settings.

I'd vote for "a series of massive, living goals that you have to throw the ball into to break away defensive parts", heh.
I'm interested to see how they develop it. It's so simple, I'd love to see 100s of moves to add onto your custom characters, spoofing everything from Dr. Who and CSI to Magical Girl Shows and DBZ. Though that's probably expecting too much ATM, lol.
^ I really love it when Devs have an engine that just lets them do whatever.
That reminds me. What is with Ubiart framework still not being available?
Cool, thanks. Man, my first attempt at it looks really silly now lol.
