Sounds good. Thanks, guys

 

[Socreges]

Don't know where else to ask this:

Standard or Minimal UI in TWD? What's recommended?

 

[Noogy]

Haha, looking at that massive list of discounted games, I never realized that Wolfenstein 3D had found it way to XBLA. I still love that game (the iOS version is fantastic).

 

[Tizoc]

Does anyone know if there's a list that shows what XBL games are planned for release during 2013?

 

[Card Boy]

I got a feeling Magic 2013 will go on sale either this week or next.

Here's the wiki:

I just remembered a few weeks ago that Microsoft didn't announce a new Game Feast promotion for this year. I guess they must not have anything to make a promotion with or something. I'm wondering if there will be any big releases for November or December.

Edit - Oh, I see Skulls of the Shogun and Guardians for Middle-Earth are coming out for each respective month. I guess they could count.

 

[jgkspsx]

Got Guardian Heroes. Almost forgot about it. I have to admit, I've never played the original, just Advance. I hope this is better than that.

Are you thinking of Gunstar Heroes?

 

[Socreges]

Hey where can I go complain about The Walking Dead? Is here good?

 

[bodyboarder]

I'd probably take it to the OT, I assume there is one.

 

[Socreges]

Can't find one without spoilers.

 

[Rawkus]

Pretty sure he's talking about this.

 

[Roland Deschain]

I thought they were releasing a complete pack for Walking Dead? Maybe not on XBLA but retail?

 

[Daigoro]

do it here then.

Ugh worded my post wrong, I wanted to ask about any 'leaks' that show what unannounced titles are coming soon.

 

[HadesGigas]

Disc comes out December 5 for $30, yes.

The last PartnerNet list was from July. Nothing exciting has come from the recent boxart scrapping apart from the Star wars game. Mirrors of the Original and the new scans.

It was mentioned on a podcast a few months ago but there was no specific details. I would have expected them to have already started promoting it if it was coming this year.

 

[toythatkills]

Apparently this is out this week, hadn't heard of it before but it looks rather interesting: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/Product/Planets-Under-Attack/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258411250

 

[sCHOCOLATE]

Has there been any update on Crimson Dragon since it missed the original release date?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Has there been any update on Crimson Dragon since it missed the original release date?

They released the WP7 game and then said that the Crimson Dragon franchise was important to them.

 

[jgkspsx]

You Don't Know Jack is awesome! Maybe the humor will wear off after 73 episodes... but maybe not. Too bad the sale was so quick, I need to get some friends to buy it...

Pretty sure he's talking about this.

Yep, I was indeed talking about the specific game that I mentioned and not a totally different game by the same developer.

 

[toythatkills]

Major Nelson mentioned an Xbox LIVE 10th anniversary thing, and @lifelower found the Japanese page for it: http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/campaign/live10th/home

No idea if it'll be the same worldwide, but they get Wreckateer for free (for two days) and a bunch of 50% OFF deals

hope it's not the same worldwide, bought wreckateer when it was half of the other week. Pretty dirty to put it on sale like that and then give it away so soon if it does end up being free worldwide.

 

[j0hnny_385]

Fingers crossed for some quality XBLA deals in the light of the 10th anniv.

 

[PseudoKirby]

Would one say that Torchlight II is coming to XBLA?

 

[j0hnny_385]

ok why does minecraft have 400 gamerscore to get? what happened to the 200 max for XBLA?

Someone wasn't paying attention in class.

Announcing ‘Arcade Next’

Spring’s most anticipated Xbox LIVE Arcade games are headed to your living room with “Arcade NEXT” from Microsoft Studios and Xbox LIVE. Beginning April 18, a new downloadable title will launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade from Microsoft Studios every Wednesday, through May 9. Also, starting in April, all new Xbox LIVE Arcade games (like these) will include up to 400 Gamerscore, with up to 30 Achievements available to unlock.

@PseudoKirby: HA! you edited your question! okay.gif

 

[Shard]

Too early to say, last I heard the Runic fellows are working on the Mac port and Steam Workshop at the moment.

 

[HadesGigas]

Would one say that Torchlight II is coming to XBLA?

The developers would say no.

We're not currently planning a console release. We haven't ruled it out but to do a port like we did last time, would probably not be on the cards, because of the limitations of Xbox Live Arcade, and the fact that we would have to downsample all our artwork this time. With Torchlight we were able to do a direct port of pretty much all of the art assets, other than the interface that had to be redesigned. It would be a lot more work this time. It's questionable whether a business case can be made for that.

"We enjoyed making Torchlight for Xbox Live, and we think it came out really good. It didn't lose any money, certainly, it made money. But we can only do one thing at a time as a studio. We have to evaluate everything across the board and say, ‘What makes sense for us to do next?’ Right now we want to take some time off and kinda clear our heads and come back with a clearer perspective on what the community wants us to do."

[GotchaForce]

I hope next-gen we get Torchlight 2 and some of the other sequels (Monday Night Combat, Orcs Must Die) xbla missed out on.

As far as this year goes, Skulls of the Shogun is the last big one, right?

2x. I will be pretty unhappy. I bought the game at the sale and I still did not play it.

10th anniversary page.

I found that earlier but I wasn't sure if it was from last years 10th anniversary for the xbox instead of this years 10th anniversary for xbox live.

The Japanese page starts on November 16th so unless the dates were different for Japan I think that one is old.

 

[LorDjidane]

Well the tenth anniversary of the xbox would have been last year.

EDIT: I can't read. Haha.

 

[Last Baron]

What kind of stuff usually ends up in the anniversary sale? I'm hoping for those Dead Rising XBLA games since I could have sworn they were supposed to go onsale during Shocktober but never did.

 

[Rlan]

Good to see Warlords finally actually coming out, particularly when Giant Bomb quick looked it BACK IN JULY 2011

 

[Roland Deschain]

Hopefully the anniversary sale delivers. Why even bother with a 33% reduction for I Am Alive though?

Last years 10th anniversary for the xbox was poor - http://www.shacknews.com/article/71100/microsoft-celebrates-10-years-of-xbox-with-free-avatar-prop

I expect the Japanese list will be correct - http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/campaign/live10th/home

 

[Stumpokapow]

Deal of the Week
Puzzle Quest 1 400 (50% off)

Wonder if this will also put the DLC on sale.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

DLC is still 700pts.

 

[Santiako]

That DLC will be forever expensive.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

So nothing for me (I already have them all), plus the free game will make me mad..

 

[SapientWolf]

That was one of my favorite E3 2011 XBLA games. I thought it got canceled. There's probably a story there.

How is Catan local multiplayer supposed to work? You can see all your opponents cards. Why even bother?

Section 8: Prejudice - 600msp (was 1200)

Is this game any good? I am trying to remember if I have even tried the demo or not. Is the community still alive for it?
