[Imperial Hot]

I can't wait for this game! Please, oh please, release it today.

 

[kaleii]

Yups, same here. I haven't anticipated a game this much for bleeding ages. European release date will probably be several weeks after the US one though, which sucks for us.

 

[spwolf]

should be soon now... I cant wait to kick jaffe's butt though and get the whatever he is giving out :lol


yes jaffe, we are still excited... thank you for reading

 

[Visualante]

I am shocked this game wasn't made on the SNES or PlayStation

Spoiler

now someone posts that it was

Cops and Robbers is such an awesome concept for a game. Raw fun incoming.

Custom soundtracks? I don't have much faith in the audio of downloadable content.

 

[Wollan]

Take a listen to the games audio on the myspace site, awesome music.

[RubxQub]

I love the simple fun and likely hours upon hours of multiplayer this game is going to bring to the table.

This game for $10 bucks feels like a steal.

I could see this game expanding with DLC in the future as well:

- Weapons
- Maps
- Car models

Not sure if they have any of that in mind, but I'd be curious to know if they are even considering it.

 

[Visualante]

You're not wrong actually.. very fun and dynamic music. Every song has a shelf life though- and I'd like to think the game would outlive the music.

Custom soundtracks would have been nice- perhaps Jaffe wants to set the model for the downloadable game instead of trying to provide what a boxed game typically offers. There's no point taking a budget and implementing features that third party network developers cannot reasonably implement.

Really liked Shell and City though. Since when have games had MySpace pages?

 

[Dizzan]

If this comes to the US store today, I'm definately going to give my Aussie Credit Card a bash.

I want the Bobblehead Jaffe!!

 

[AgentOtaku]

can't wait...lookin forward to this and gonna have to buy a headset this week

 

[RubxQub]

can't wait...lookin forward to this and gonna have to buy a headset this week

Trash-talking and chaotic girly screaming is basically a feature of the game.

 

[Madman]

I hope this game comes out today.

 

[pswii60]

I hope this game comes out today.

It is

Spoiler

or isn't

EDIT: Is this game 60fps/1080p?

EDIT2: SHIT it says it right up there at the top and it f***ing is and everything. woohoo! 60fps in 4-player split screen, cool!

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

srsly, why the Delays?

 

[spwolf]

srsly, why the Delays?

word from the wise, listen and contribute when you can... dont ask stupid questions.

I am pretty sure it is today 100%

 

[jjasper]

I am pretty sure this game is going to come out today based on the fact that I have wanted to play it for so long and I am leaving to go out of town today at 2 and won't be back till Sunday so I won't be able to play it till then

so that confirms it

 

[superfly]

I take it the wait in europe will be even longer

 

[Duke Togo]

If this doesn't get released today I'm going to cripple my elderly neighbors.

 

[allarise]

Honestly...

This game, whatever Ueda has coming, and Afrika are my main motivators for purchasing a PS3. I don't think I'm their target demographic.

 

[chubigans]

Here's an interview I did with Jaffe for the game:

http://blogs.ign.com/chubigans/2007/02/28/48098/

 

[Y2Kev]

Let's get a game going tonight, yes?

Say 9 PM EST?

edit: if it comes out.

 

[Evazan]

Is it coming out today for reals?

 

[Doel]

I've been waiting for this game since Christmas, when it was considering being released (before it was actually announced yet). So please just let it be today so I can play something fun and new and online.

 

[pswii60]

Sony don't have a 'target demographic' - they try to be something for everyone, at least according to Phil Harrison.

I really like this artwork because it reminds me of the artwork on old Commodore 64 tapes. Very nostalgic.

 

[chubigans]

By the way, I am almost 100% sure its not coming out today. Sorry guys.

 

[spwolf]

By the way, I am almost 100% sure its not coming out today. Sorry guys.

someone gonna show him what will happen to him if it comes out today? nice crazyeyedbish.gif

 

[Evazan]

By the way, I am almost 100% sure its not coming out today. Sorry guys.

Seems like with all the craziness that went on reguarding this game we would have heard some sort of confirmation from sony directly telling us...yes this game will be out on the XXXXXX.

What IS coming out today? Rampart and thats it?

 

[Greg]

It is coming out today.

 

[Evazan]

It is coming out today.

So says Greg!

Tell us Gregory. All that we wish to know!

I think Go Puzzle! also comes out today unless that's been pushed back again.

 

[VASPER]

SO can anyone check is it on the PSN. What time of day is it coming out DAMB IT, I WANT THIS DAMB GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANSWER MY ? NOW

 

[Lord Error]

Here's an interview I did with Jaffe for the game:

http://blogs.ign.com/chubigans/2007/02/28/48098/

Sorrry for the OT, what happened to your interview with Housemarque people about Super Stardust HD?

 

[Doel]

Here's an interview I did with Jaffe for the game:

http://blogs.ign.com/chubigans/2007/02/28/48098/

"Calling All Cars ($9.99) is set for a March release. Woo!"

I lol'd...and cried

 

[Greg]

So says Greg!

Tell us Gregory. All that we wish to know!

my inside sources tell me so
and that is all you need to know

 

[pswii60]

SO can anyone check is it on the PSN. What time of day is it coming out DAMB IT, I WANT THIS DAMB GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANSWER MY ? NOW

All the rights move.

 

[chubigans]

Sorrry for the OT, what happened to your interview with Housemarque people about Super Stardust HD?

They're waiting on the OK from Sony reps, and I'm waiting on the OK from IGN staff on posting it on the main site.

I hoping for sometime next week.

 

[Firewire]

I think the store update happens around 5pm Thursdays! (N.A.)
But I don't think we'll see CAC for another two weeks, but then again thats
just me speculating!

 

[Slaylock]

I was so excited for this game a month ago. I must have watched the few videos that had been released about fifty times.

Four delays later, the excitement kind of got sucked out of me. I'm sure I'll still buy it whenever it does come out (since there really isn't much else to play anyway), but the premature hype and disappointment has left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.

Here's hoping actually playing the game will revive my interest in the game.

I'm kind of with you there.

And people who know me know I'm a huge Jaffe fan, I have a signed copy of God of War, but my hype for Calling All Cars peaked about 2 weeks ago, then it got delayed again. I'm definitely not as excited about it as I once was.

 

[Firewire]

What are the weapons in this game?
And how exactly do they interact with the game? Are they for shooting capturing
escaped prisoners or against rival cars?
Any zommies in the game!:lol

Me too, though that'll all melt away when the game is on my HDD methinks.

Three weapons:
- A short-range hammer that will knock a prisoner out of another car
- A medium-range magnet that will suck a prisoner out of another car
- A long-range rocket that will explode a prisoner out of another car

 

[BobTheFork]

no heresy intended, but i think I might be looking forwrd to rampart a little more. I loved that game so much. I will be getting CAC as soon as possible, if not today then monday.

Rampart looks fun. How do you play the game? The trailer left me clueless.

Thanx, sounds pretty cool!

 

[BobTheFork]

you build an inclosed castle area as fast as possible, place cannon turrents as fast as p[ossible, then BLAST BLAST BLAST away at the enemy cannons and castle. Yeah I've played the game for years and years and that trailer almost left me baffeled.
