Looks awesome!

Just one thing about the camera mode: can you flip the image so it looks like a reflection in the TV screen?

It does look amazing, but why does it have me thinking along the lines of FZero meets Tempest and goes on an acid trip?

Don't make me think about the potential for an IA follow-up again...drool...

<wakes up> Er, yeah *ahem* anyway, it looks bloody gorgeous, and even if it does turn out to be even more Tempest (albeit with Yak's aforementioned gameplay evolutions on page 5) it'll doubtless be another welcome alternative to the dreary pap on store shelves (though that's not to say that everything outside of Arcade is crap, but that's another discussion entirely...)

Looks neat.


I really don't see how anyone could possibly compare those shots to Tempest. Tempest is nothing but straight lines, and those screens are anything but.

I want it.

Pricing's right, too. I've got 400 points sitting there. I'm having to think hard about buying more points to get the 800p Cloning Clyde, but if it were only 400 I'd already have it.

I might pinch that idea so people on field trials don't post beta screenshots of "whizzo school manager 3"

Looking good chaps, completely unlike anything else on Arcade (in fact unlike most things).

Looks average :wink: 8O

Any idea how long clearance from Microsoft takes before XBLA games can be released?

Argh, how could I have missed this topic!

Man i'am so happy its unreal, this is the reason I bought my 360. Now the only obvious questions are. Do we have a name for it yet, and do we have a eta yet?

BTW, I would gladly pay whatever price required, and I will endever to support lamasoft in any way I can...I woun't have to play the first 5 levels before buying it, once its downloaded I will purchase it on the spot.

Wee I'am on cloud nine keep those screen shots coming, looking oh so lovely, and starting to make heads and tails outa it, I can't wait to try this 4 side playing grids, lol it sounds so kick ass.

++Cire.

Damn, if it plays as good as it looks I may have to get an X360 before 2009 after all :)

Something occured to me, this is everything I tend to go on about, this is what 3D hardware is for, not some crappy replication of the real world :D
