The 360 thread!

Apparently the latest update is borking a small percentage of older consoles.

If yours is affected, you'll get a shiny new 250gig S model.

Nice.

Major Nelson at Xbox says that report is wrong and it was an earlier update that caused it:

New trailer ...



I know it's not in-game footage, but it brings it all back for me.

Why's there not been any new arcade games for a couple of weeks? Last one was that crappy D&D thing.

In the first week there was a game called Crazy Machines coming out, but it got delayed. The week after that was E3, so I guess they were busy with other things, like putting up about a hundred videos.

They'll be waiting for this year's Summer of Arcade, which looks by far the weakest they've done.

If you think Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is weak, you might as well quit gaming altogether.



And after that, it's the amazing From Dust. Eric Chahi, dammit!

And I think Wrecked as well (sequel to Mashed!). Can't wait for this and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.

I love the look of Shadow Planet, but the cynical part of me worries that the actual gameplay is going to be incredibly shallow.

[Jamesac]

If you'd clicked on my link, you'd have gotten to read my E3 hands-on.

Yeah, really looking forward to Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet.

Also, Bastion. Loving the narration, but looks pretty good beyond that:

[ThetaReactor]

Yeah, Bastion looks very, very good. While Shadow Planet is a gorgeous game, I'm not sure about the gameplay yet. Bastion, on the other hand, looks perfect. I've always wanted the power of the newer consoles applied to an old-school style, and this looks very much like a high-def SNES game. Like if you handed a 360 devkit to the guys at Quintet [Terranigma, SoulBlazer, etc.] back in 1995 and told 'em to go nuts... And it seems like the smaller studios are the only ones to get this. The new consoles can draw all the sprites and parallax layers you want, people. Just think how gorgeous New Super Mario Bros. could be if it used hand-drawn graphics instead of 3D models. Imagine Ayami Kojima's Castlevania artwork rendered in 1080p. Instead, we have to rely on indie developers and the occasional Vanillaware game.

First I've seen of Bastion and it does look great. Like a couple of others I've got reservations about Shadow Planet. While it looks lovely, none of the vids I've seen make it look that inetersting to play. Thank XBLA for demos.

Anyone excited about the Halo:CE remake? I am.

Is it sad to get excited about a 10 year old game, that I still have sitting on a shelf and can play any time?
