‘Bankshot Billards 2′ now in 3-D with the latest game update.

There's also an update for Burnout Revenge.

So am I right in thinking it wasnt always 3D?

Thank goat for that, I was playing it the other day and accidently touched the gamepad and suddenly the table spun around into a 3d viewpoint, I was like 'To mean all this time I've never known about this!!! "

At least I wasnt so silly then!

How do you get these updates exactly?

When you next load up the game (and are connected to Live) it'll automagically get the update/patch.

Yeah it did that but I see no 3D options ?

Yep, just hit the gamepad and the table will miraculously spin 45 degress into a lovely 3d viewpoint with the angle etc controlled with the left thumbstick.

It is actually very, very pretty but is probably still more playable from the 2d view, insofar as its still easy to judge some angles.

It is actually very, very pretty but is probably still more playable from the 2d view, insofar as its still easy to judge some angles.

Here are the items we have addressed in the patch:

* -Ranked live games causing a freeze or crash
* -Player match games now show the other players aiming aid level
* -Default time for ranked mode games was changed to 60 seconds
* -When a timer expires in a live game the following player has ball in hand
* -Shot panel now shows the buttons that must be held down to activate the various features (english, spin, power)
* -200 games achievement now given away when 200 games are played instead of won (this is inline with the description now)
* -Single player leaderboards cap the display to hours now instead of a single hour
* -Music tracks would not sync to defaults when a client quit (in certain conditions)
* -3D camera modes (so this is only a 2D game, right?)

The 3D modes are accessed via the D pad during gameplay:

* Up: Reverts to the top view camera
* Down: Static camera (zooms out from location of shot)
* Left: Dynamic camera (follows action)
* Right: Cue ball camera (use the left analog stick to rotate around the cue ball and zoom in / out)

Bankshot Billiards took the piss, IMO, for wanting 3x as much dosh as Geometry Wars for a ropey 2D pool game.

Every game on live arcade thats more expensive than geometry wars takes the piss in my eyes.

Would be nice if games werent always 400,800,1200 points. They could be 500/600 points

Where the shit is Street Fighter 2?

and I hope they don't charge 1600/2000 points for SF2

[rockwaldo]

piss in my eyes.

sounds painful
