The 360 thread!

Post by PVB »

So no posting in here about upcoming games and other shit, just let everyone know what's new on the 360. :)

A re-post, but may as well start now:

There are some title updates that were released earlier today. Here is the complete list:

King Kong
Xbox 360 Arcade: Smash TV
Toryumon
Xbox 360 Arcade: Hardwood Hearts
Madden NFL 06

To get the update, you’ll have to be connected to Xbox Live and start the title.

Also:

You can now download the demo of “The Outfit‘ from the Xbox Live Marketplace. This demo is available in all Xbox Live regions.

This is a multi-player demo, but it can only be played online with an Xbox Live Gold account. Silver members can download the demo but their gameplay experience will be limited to offline 1-1 split screen. Gold members get the full 8 player destruction experience.

Here are some official details on the level in the demo:

Name: Estate Assault
Game Type: Strategic Victory
Overview:
•After a coordinated offensive - Allied Command has commandeered a French villa just across the river from the Axis HQ.
•Choose your side (Allies or Axis) and squad leader to play (3 from either side; 6 total) and lead your squad into battle to destroy the enemy’s HQ, while defending your own.
•Capture strategic points located throughout the map to earn Field Units (F.U.s) – that can be used on the fly to call in Destruction on Demand™ - air-dropped into the action at any time. Everything can be called in from tanks, jeeps and half-tracks to squad reinforcements, machine gun nests, anti-tank guns and even air-strikes on enemy positions.

Both items grabbed from:

I was playing this last night and it was an absolute blast. Driving felt a bit strange but theres real potential there almost as a mini RTS.

What's the Outfit like? Anything like Brothers in Arms? I'm quite looking forward to this title.
Because fucking marketing cunts would never call a spade anything other than a Deluxe Easi-Shift Earth Movement Solution.

I've not played that, but it's third person perspective is similar to Max Payne and that sort of game, rather than the Resi 4 'over the shoulder' view.

Example:

Is the Kong demo Europe-only or something? I keep hearing about it but it's not in my downloads. Not under K for King nor under P for Peter.

Major Nelson's site says the demo has now been removed.

Dunno if it was Europe only though.

From the feedback on http://www.majornelson.com/2006/02/13/king-kong-demo/ it sounds like it was pretty buggy. I was interested in the easy gamer points. :lol:
