[360] Marketplace updates and DL content thread

It's a port of the arcade version, and the arcade was always way harder than the home version. If you doubt me, play the SNES rom, and then play the MAME rom. With both set at either standard difficulty or even one star, the arcade will kick your ass WAY more than the SNES version. It's a shame really. Between me not playing this for years, and having to fight the 360's shitty D-pad, I'd have much rather seen a port of the SNES difficulty levels rather than the arcade original. Still, online play is FAR better than I thought it would be. That and hotseat is all you really need. Screw the single player.

How ya doing, buddy?

Just finished it this morning, took me about half an hour with the difficulty set up to maximum. I honestly couldn't see a difference between 1 star difficulty or 7, I just finished it for the first time today knocking out two birds with one stone.
Dhalsim has got to be the friendliest fighter of the bunch but what surprised me was how easy the 3 fighters before Bison were when compared to say...Ken, Ryu or Guile. :eyebrow: And if you're wondering, yes...Bison is still a bastard. :lolsign:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Symphony of the Night Heads to XBLA
PSOne's best? Castlevania heading to Xbox Live.
by Luke Smith, 08/03/2006

Kaz Hirai's triumphant warcry of "Riiiiiidge Racer" on the PSP led people to believe other key PSOne titles would soon be heading to the PSP via emulation. Apparently Konami missed the memo, as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is making its way to Xbox Live Arcade.

The September issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (issue: 207) reports:

Konami is resurrecting the cult PS1 game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on Xbox Live Arcade. Along with SOTN, Konami is also bringing back other classic hits, some revered (Frogger, Contra, Super Contra, Track & Field) some obscure (Time Pilot), and some really obscure (Scramble).

When will SOTN head to XBLA? Representatives from Konami told 1UP that the game is tenatively slated for a Q1 2007 release on XBLA.

Oh shit.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That game woudln't have leaderboards or co-op, so it doesn't make sense.

It'll also be a fucking GINORMOUS download.

I like how by the time I buy a second hard drive, the first one will literally be full of 500 arcade games at this rate.

I was speaking idiomatically.

This would be much, much hotter if they remade Dracula X for the 360 arcade as well. I wanna play the game, but I don't want to go through the trouble of emulating it.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Dead Rising demo is now on the marketplace.

FELIPE NO

When I get back I'll have to download it, I do hear that the file is 1GB but exactly how many minutes of gameplay is on it or should I just wait on gamefly come August 8.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You can end it in under a minute or two if you enter the right door, or you can play for quite some time killing everything you see. This isn't like the Prey demo where you'll have to replay damn near an hour of the game once you buy/rent the full version.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was roaming free to see how long can it go until the demo comes to a close and once the clock strikes 7PM in the game, lights out. The zombies alter to low level crimson heads I would say. That would make the game more intense if that does in fact take place. :asthanos:

Update: As of today 8/9, Pac-Man was uploaded on the XBL Marketplace. Should be an easy 200 points.

Most amazing jew boots

Texas Hold 'em Poker Xbox Live Arcade game thing is onine right now. Even better is it's free. Until friday at least. Get downloading, people!

More good news, tomorrow should bring a demo of Just Cause, and a second demo of Test Drive.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Just Cause demo is now available on the the marketplace, at about 630 megs.

Vivendi Reveals Double Fine Deal, Crash Online, Incredible Machine For XBLA

Incredible Machine For XBLA

Quote:

The document also reveals a great deal of previously unknown information on Vivendi's strategy, including confirmation of many unannounced titles from the company's Sierra Online division. These include Xbox 360 Live Arcade title Megaforce for this year, alongside Xbox 360 Live Arcade and PC SKUs of 3D Ultra Mini Golf, as well as PC and Xbox 360 Live Arcade titles based on classic puzzler The Incredible Machine in 2007.

That's a long way away, but still INCREDIBLE

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh, god. Incredible Machine. I came. Twice!

On a related note; some game, a shmup, called Time Pilot has attacked the Arcade. 400 points is the price.

FELIPE NO

A bunch of updates on the XBL Marketplace most notably is a playable demo of FEAR. Zipped through it in about 5 minutes and I'll be downloading the PC version for sure.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

And you would be foolish because that was the demo released a long time before E3. It has already been confirmed to have better graphics and more features. for the 360. People seriously take demos too seriously.

(I have not played the demo, but even so, I read this issue and was smart enough to not even bother wiith it).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well playing FPS games on console has always been 2nd nature to me. I much prefer the controls of a mouse and keyboard over a controller anyday. As for visuals, well that depends on your PC setup. I plan on playing this game on max settings once this download goes through. 1280x1024 > 1280x720.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just so that everyone knows Totem Ball releases tomorrow.

Everyone probably already knows, but the Breakdown demo was put up recently

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Root Beer Tapper came out today!

It's a really crappy arcade game that goes for 400 MSP!

Don't get it!

I was speaking idiomatically.

February 14th -- today's Live Arcade title is:

Paperboy!

Still the scariest game imaginable. I still frown at the fact that many people are willing to go out of their way to keep this paperboy from delivering a newspaper. Beware the Brutish Breakdancer.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

There's several new themes & Gamerpics packs released. FEAR just recently released a Dark theme, Battlestar Galactica has a theme and Gamerpic pack. A free Borat Theme and Gamerpic pack was released.

FELIPE NO

Castlevania: SOTN should be out today in Xbox Live!

TMNT out last week!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I was thinking. This thread is mighty useless in it's current iteration, and could use a recreation with a tighter focus. I'll work on it when I get back from work.

Could it get destickied?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm working on organizing things here. Give me some time. A fox can only handle so much at once. =p
