The "this is the only game I needed on [insert platform here]" meme needs to stop.

Nah.

 

[Turbo]

The screens show artwork for PS3 buttons, so unless they're fake it is basically confirmed.

Ah, I didn't see the images on the site so I wasn't sure why many people were assuming it was Castle Crashers. Good game, though it was a overhyped in this thread ( to be many other games, that is).

Whilst we can’t reveal any specifics right now, we can now reveal that the PlayStation 3 will play host to a popular 360 favourite. The title, which has to remain under wraps with us for the time being, will be released towards the end of the year. We’ve been promised more information in roughly a month’s time, at which point we’ll be able to share the specifics, first.

Our contact has also let us know that the studio will have other exciting news to share soon enough. Note that we can not talk about this further at this stage.

Have a good weekend.

For the first bold statement, has it really been a months time? More like 2 weeks no? Either way, the site wasn't the first to publish this information but they claim that they would have been the first to reveal the information about this 360 title.

Second bold statement, what's this other exciting news? If the game is indeed Castle Crashers what would the additional news be?

And the italicized statement, wasn't that a "hint"?

Just speculating but I'm reading through the post and I don't think Castle Crashers fits the description.

 

[The Faceless Master]

hopefully the game actually works like it's supposed to from day one.

Never gonna stop the port begging, Here is just from the Announcement thread first page :lol

Nah. But I will take N+ please. Love my PSP version.

All I need is The Secret of Monkey Island SE since TMNT Re-Shelled is coming at the end of this year.

Now I want to replay this

I assume that Game #3 will be multiplat. then ?

Yes! Oh God yes, I was playing this at my friend's house and I was seriously considering buying a 360 to play this, Rez HD, and Viva Pinata. The Miz needs to bring me Rez HD, now.

I want Alien Hominid too.

Braid and Rez HD. And Ikaruga. And probably a bunch of other awesome XBLA titles I can't think of right now.

Nice, Braid to follow ?

Now all they need is Braid and it is a done deal.

Now all I need is UNO (which was rumored to be coming since when...last October?) and I wont be jealous of Xbox 360 anymore.


It's funny how people called Fat Princess our "answer to" Castle Crashers when it was first announced and now we are getting this announcement LONG BEFORE we will get Fat Princess. :lol

Whatever man, I've been bitter about Monkey Island being on every platform (in one way or another) except PSN, so yeah

 

[AwRy108]

So, was the game Castle Crashers? If so, I'd be fine with that.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

OhEmGe

I was expecting something a bit more, new.

 

[triplestation]

Want Splinter Cell: Conviction.

 

[palpabl_purpura]

Wasn't the PS3 Left 4 Dead 2 already leaked on the EA website? That would be my bet.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

HUGE disappointing

 

[tenten]

Want every single third party exclusives be multiplatform!!!

so we all can stfu....

 

[Ebisamaru]

Super mario bros pfft

 

[Maximus.]

my guesses are mass effect or L4D2

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Is this the game that TheSixthAxis was talking about??

I hope not...

Maybe the extra announcement is "Game 3" being on the PS3 aswell, Or Maybe the second batch of DLC coming out near the PS3 release..?

 

[theignoramus]

Are there really that many PS3 only people around here?
I'm struggling to think of why an (inevitably shitty) port of a third party Xbox game should generate such excitement. Is it a Valve game?

Castle Crashers was a fantastic game, its good that PS3 Owners will be able to play it.


However, Going by the Xbox version there may be some problems.

They'll likely be fixed...

So you played it at Comic Con? Awesome, how was it? Can you give us some hands on impressions?

Seriously, get that shit outta here if you haven't played it. It's generating "excitement" because it was hinted at a few weeks ago, and now it's finally known. Can people not be happy that a nice arcade game will be hitting their PSN? Jesus..

 

[AwRy108]

OhEmGe

I was expecting something a bit more, new.

But if the announcement was Castle Crashers, at least it's a great game that most PS3 owners would want.

 

[ckeur]

I like how people are still guessing what the announcement will be, obviously not bothering to read at least the last page of the thread. I can understand not reading everything in a very long post, but at least read the last page people.

 

[theignoramus]

Oh it's an arcade game?
Well excuse me then, the port may turn out alright after all.

[Moobabe]

So we're not allowed to want games that aren't on our system? I understand now.

 

[soldat7]

Still NSFW. Love the Ignore feature.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I never understood what was wrong with wanting to play games that aren't available on a platform that you own. I know some people are just looking for system wars ammo but I have no doubt that their are plenty of people who innocently want to play the games.

 

[soldat7]

And when you consider irrational explanations as to why certain games, particularly downloadable ones, are NOT on both platforms, this sentiment becomes more rational.

 

[SoccerGoaliePro]

I really hope its Mass Effect 2 Cause thats all I really want from the Xbox 360.

 

[MoogPaul]

After a relaxing weekend at PAX of course.

i think it's because of the "it's the only game worth owning on the console" shit that's attached to those posts. but i also agree that it shouldn't bother people. nothing wrong with people wanting good games.

 

[Malio]

Probably L4D2, with EA porting it much like the Orange Box.

 

[therapist]

Halo / Gears wont happen.

I wouldnt mind gears but fuck halo anyways lol.

Im almost sure itll be L4D2 although i hope to god somehow its Alan Wake considering my 360 died recently.

And ... LOL @ the guy who said NXE ... xmb is way nicer / cleaner imo

 

[Hydrargyrus]

We are asking in the comments of the Castle Crashers annoucement (in TheSixthAxis) but we aren't getting any response.

The only response from the TSA staff was:

This post is about Castle Crashers. Either stick to that or risk your comments being marked as spam. Thanks

I guess we have to wait till august then. If they are still tight lipped then it might not mean castle crashers but I wonder why they posted that warning.

That's it. If they were absolutely tight lipped they wouldn't have to make this semi-announcement or warning. Nothing cost to them to tell us is this castle crasher news are related to the super misterious info or not.

 

[expy]

I'm still holding back on claiming that Castle Crashers is indeed the game in question. Nofi hasn't updated the article and on top of that has made a separate article for the Castle Crashers announcement.

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2009/07/23/castle-crashers-heading-to-ps3/

If you scroll down to the comments section he's replied to some posts:

Seriously thought TSA staff, throw us a bone on that please!

No mention in that article whatsoever that it is the game he was talking about. And his comments seem to point to it not being that game.

Edit: Beaten

P.S. Remember though, they did mention that they would be the FIRST to let us know about this title.

We’ve been promised more information in roughly a month’s time, at which point we’ll be able to share the specifics, first.

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2009/07/23/that-exclusive-we-mentioned/

Way back on the tenth of July we posted a little teaser about a title that was previously an Xbox 360 console exclusive but which would soon be making the jump to the PlayStation 3. Almost immediately the comments filled up and other blogs picked up the news and started spinning it and fantasizing about what that game might be. We never said it was a huge game, we said we thought you would be interested and that it was popular. We never staked our reputation on it. We were happy to get a little exclusive from a developer that we saw as a reward for sitting on the news since April when almost any other site would have ruined the announcement by leaking the news. We were pleased that we’d done things properly and that a developer had noticed and decided that they would like to deal with our little fansite.

Yesterday goonlinegames.net ran a post suggesting that we had prior knowledge of Castle Crashers coming to the PS3, and that this was related to our earlier post. We’d like to set the record straight that Castle Crashers, whilst exciting for PS3 owners, isn’t the franchise we were referring to.

Things have a gone a little crazy since that original post and a lot of people have gotten very excited by what they imagined we meant. Let’s not pretend here: We said what we meant back on the tenth of July. Anything else has been embellished by other people who have let their imaginations run away with them. We can understand that. I used to have a list of 360 exclusives that I wanted to appear on the PS3 but I realised that most of them were first or second party titles that never had a chance of appearing on Sony’s platform. So I bought an Xbox360 and enjoyed them there. It’s understandable that single-console owners would be hopeful for the very best of the other platform’s exclusives and with hindsight we may have made a slight error of judgement. We hold our hands up, we got excited about getting an exclusive and we allowed room for you all to get excited about what it might be.

The announcement of Castle Crashers has sparked a whole new round of wild rumour and speculation which we feel we have to stand up and quash before it all gets even further out of hand. The exclusive we got was not in reference to any of the Microsoft-published games we’ve seen suggested, it was not Halo, Gears, Left4Dead, Splinter Cell or Mass Effect. If you want those titles then we would suggest you go and buy an Xbox360, they’re really rather good. The title we were teasing about is a niche title which we are quite looking forward to and we think some of our readers will be interested in. We are not telling you what it was because we have an agreement with the publisher and at TheSixthAxis we don’t leak but rest assured that it is not any of those huge AAA games that have been suggested. That would be ridiculous.

 

[freitax]

It's not castle Crashers,Halo, Gears, Left4Dead, Splinter Cell or Mass Effect, soo.. braid?right:/?

Here's hoping for Rez or Ikaruga off XBLA
