Yeah, the whole soundtrack is pretty awesome. But Wood Carving Partita LIVE!? wtf, why didn't I hear about this?! :(
*goes to youtube*

I couldn't find it anywhere, including recordings to buy of the event. Let me know if you find anything (Symphonic Game Music Concert or whatever, 2006). She played some harpsichord derivative during the song....probably had the audience exploding on the floor with glee.

Yamaoka also attended once, as have Mitsuda, Uematsu, and many others. I would like to go, but they're in GERMANY.

What kind of assdouche forgets about Wood Carving Partitia? And a "Top 4" list WTF?

It's in my next list!

I didn't want to have to open iTunes to look at the track listing, but I ended up doing it anyway.

That's not what I'm talking about. The OST has the song from the game. Why is there even a MIDI version?

The OST has the regular version of Wandering Ghosts. The version I'm talking about is a Latin mix (posted).

¿Comprende?

Oh, yeah. I wanted to know if you could find the Latin one. I was unsure of which version you said you could no longer find.

Beat the game in under 20 minutes.

And everyone go to Youtube and watch her perform WCP now. Wow.

I posted the Latin version, although, the quality sucks (Midi?)

The version I used to have was way better quality and the guitar sounded much, much clearer.

stretched sucks but it doesn't seem that bad going by the screens. Does that mean they aren't updating a THING for HD though?

Curious to see if they fixed all the glitches

Probably not. It's a straight port I bet. They could even make getting like 200+% an achievement.
 
Nevermind achievements, what the hell is the leaderboard gonna be like?

Knowing Digital Illusions, they probably added a few of their own.
 
what's taking so long?? judging from those screens, they aren't trying anything new. just put the damn thing up.
 
Settlers of Catan needs to hurry the hell up, I can't wait for some proper strategy action on xbla - Koei should port over one of the RotTK games.
 
I doubt it is naturally stretched. I am sure it is like most of the older ports where you can stretch it out or play it in its native aspect ratio.
 
don't a lot of XBLA games let you set the screen size, and how much you want it stretched or not?

I play Street Fighter II stretched for example, but by default it was the normal size, you can go into the options menu and resize it however you see fit (haha, pun)

edit: curse you C4Lukins! :P

whatever happened to sonic hd? It seems like a distant memory from what was likely a complete game
Click to expand...


I am also curious about the sonic hd

woulda been cool, but knowing sega's history with sonic (GBA version, and all the new ones) I bet it was quietly canned.
 
Looks awesome...hopefully it has all the audio and no bullshit splitting into different packs.

If it's the full game, day one purchase for sure
in 2008 when the damn thing finally comes out :'(
 
All we need to know is, do the other Konami XBLA games (Frogger, etc) let you stretch/unstretch the picture? If they do, then SOTN will be the same way.

I believe screen size is customizable for all Konami releases to date.
 
The game is a port and it was not originally presented in 16x9. I am sure there will be an option to set the resolution like you can on all XBLA ports. Would you guys rather not have this game released because of stretching and bad title screen art? :lol

I really do not see what the big deal is. Wouldn't they have to redo the art if the went to 16x9? Then the game would end up coming out in 2010 rather than 2008.

6.5
 
The stretching is annoying, but what is really more concerning is the upscaling to 720p...couldn't that make them look really, uh, not good?

Does detailed 2D scale well like that?
 
So.. is that September date real?

If so WTF are they doing?

I will laugh if the PSN version comes out in March or something :lol

Seriously...it's SOTN, it's amazing and will be the best thing on XBLA....hopefully we'll get it soon.
 
Stretched = Better than these 2x2 boxes with graphics so small you can't f*cking see them.

I actually welcome what Konami did for the port.
