Blinx is next!

4D!!!

 

[Mesoian]

God, could you imagine if Microsoft rereleased Mech Assault 1 and 2 on PC?

That would be magical.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Hey man if it takes a 10 year wait for a Microsoft game to be old enough to get a steam release then so be it. Better than nothing.

 

[Sora_N]

Cool will buy on sale later. I always wanted to try

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Bought it as soon as I saw it. Never played it since I never had an original Xbox, and always wanted to try it. Glad to see this got released.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Quoting myself from page 1, as it seems like a bunch of people done understand what's happening here.

Guys, this isn't really a big surprise. The game came out on PC shortly after the Xbox version launched, so really, this is just the PC version getting a Steam release. I wouldn't get my hopes up for Xbox to Steam ports.

So, this isn't MS deciding to release Xbox games on Steam. This is a game that received a PC port way back when that is just now receiving a Steam release.

 

[Grief.exe]

Where the fuck is the Steam release of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System? No, it wasn't an Xbox exclusive, but I would really enjoy a re-release.

No PC version initially. Sudeki already had one.

 

[dragonlife]

Huh, I was always curious about this.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

No PC version initially. Sudeki already had one.

Wow, never knew that. Huh.

On another note, even 10 years ago at the tender age of 17 I thought the character designs were bad. A small part of me still wanted to play it though, possibly.

 

[UnrealEck]

If Microsoft truly wanted to please PC gamers and win them back, they would release some big titles like Halo 3 and Halo 4 and ODST (whatever that was).

 

[Ermac]

this games magazine ads were goat

 

[kittens]

God, I haven't thought about this game in ages. I never had it, but all my friends who bought it were really disappointed in it.

this games magazine ads were goat

That's just boring run-of-the-mill objectification.

 

[Pikawil]

A classic from the Xbox 1 has finally been released on Steam.

Didn't know you were a time traveller. What other Xbox One classics are there?

 

[Lulubop]

This was my anticipated game back in the day, well until the reviews hit. Never played it, might give it a go.

 

[Mr Nash]

Probably going to take the plunge on this at some point. Missed it on the Xbox and I'm curious about the game. Still surprised to see it released and now Summoner is on GOG as of today. Crazy! Now if only someone would get on Phantom Dust and the Otogi games for obscure games from this era that need a re-release.

 

[AwakenedCloud]

If they did Phantom Dust and Crimson Skies, then I will be a happy camper forever as far as the OG Xbox goes.

 

[antitrop]

Crimson Skies was worth buying an Xbox for. The online MP was amazing, and the SP was just fine, too.

 

[Grief.exe]

Wow, never knew that. Huh.

On another note, even 10 years ago at the tender age of 17 I thought the character designs were bad. A small part of me still wanted to play it though, possibly.

Don't get me wrong, I wish we had Metal Arms. Its one of the games I am looking for on PS2/GC for emulation.

 

[Rolf NB]

Didn't know you were a time traveller. What other Xbox One classics are there?

The original Xbox 1. Oxbone.

If you want to talk Sudeki and ads...

The greatest game and saddest tale, the studio (Swingin' Ape) only made that one game and that's it. Acquired by Blizzard, but never worked on anything.

10 year reunion:

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Woman in red is REALLY excited. Or cold.

 

[Edwardo]

Yes please I loved this game.

Brute Force next?

Oh hell ya.

 

[ixix]

When most people hear Tuomas Pirinen's name they immediately think of his best-known work, Operation Raccoon City. But in my heart Sudeki will always be his magnum opus.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Woman in red is REALLY excited. Or cold.

Her armor gets worse the further you play. Towards the end shes basically wearing chain mail bikinis

 

[rjc571]

Sudeki was laughable 10 years ago and it's still laughable today.

Looks pretty bad for an Xbox One game.

At least it's playable in 1080p, though

 

[KimonoNoNo]

I know it's not going to happen, but give me Panzer Dragoon Orta.

 

[Diamond]

Always liked this track from Sudeki : New Brightwater theme

 

[injurai]

keep em coming microsoft

Don't think this is a MS Game Studios game...

[EBE]

hahahahahahahahahahaha..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

edit. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

sudeki was alright.

 

[bon]

I remember this game being okay.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Playing it right now, it's alright I guess. Controls a bit clunky in combat but nothing unplayable.

360 controller works out of box by the way.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

of all the xbox games to be revived on steam...

 

[Silky]

DOES THIS MEAN JET SET RADIO FUTURE HAS A CHANCE

 

[Vlaphor]

This is just the PC port cleaned up, with 360 controller support (with proper onscreen prompts) and steam cards.

I tried to run a +9 trainer written for the original PC version and it didn't work

I'm running it 2560x1440 downsampled to 1080p, with a whole host of things upgraded through Nvidia Control Panel and it runs perfectly.

 

[antitrop]

DOES THIS MEAN JET SET RADIO FUTURE HAS A CHANCE

Jet Set Radio Future doesn't have a PC port from 10 years ago to re-release on Steam.

Although SEGA did port the original Jet Set Radio, so... we can still dream.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

SEGA will port JSRF right after they localize Yakuza 5

 

[quantumnerd]

So is this what MS meant by a "renewed commitment to PC gaming"?

I assume they've been spending all the time lovingly polishing this port.

 

[DR2K]

Ironically this came out around the time Tales of Symphonia released on Gamecube in the US. I remember me choosing between the 2 systems at the time.

Spoiler

I chose Gamecube of course, but later played this for a few hours then never looked back. It wasn't terrible, but there were many better rpgs to play.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Ninja Gaiden Black on PC please

 

[JaseC]

So is this what MS meant by a "renewed commitment to PC gaming"?

I assume they've been spending all the time lovingly polishing this port.

Microsoft isn's involved with this re-release at all:

Developer: Climax Studios
Publisher: Climax Group

In fact, Microsoft didn't even publish the original PC release, back in 2005. Just the Xbox version.

so you're saying

there's a chance

 

[CNCOMICS]

I had fun with this game back then, and always wanted the PC version, I may just double dip, especially at $5.00.

 

[Javaman]

Great game for a great price. One of the few Xbox games I've actually finished. Hopefully the port holds up well. Time to dig through this thread.

 

[Gxgear]

Does the graphics hold up after all these years? The screenshots looks decent.

 

[Persona7]

I worked at a game store when this came out. I'll say this for 2004: at that time, this kind of thing was capable of being taken seriously by a lot of people. Not by me, not by any of my co-workers, but certainly a segment of our, uh... sadder regulars.

Anybody without a Sonichu medallion would retch at the sight of this on a store shelf in 2014. So something's changed.

Chris chan would probably buy this blindly after seeing that magazine ad.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Those character renders are atrocious. It's like every bad PC Graphics Card box art character molded into one.

 

[HK-47]

You slay me, jim.
