XBLA Tales of Monkey Island possible

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbla-tales-of-monkey-island-possible

Telltale Games design director Dave Grossman has said Tales of Monkey Island may appear on Xbox Live Arcade after release on PC and WiiWare, which launch this summer.

"We didn't so much decide not to put it on Xbox Live Arcade as we decided not to put it on XBLA now," Grossman told Eurogamer in an interview published this morning. "Normally what we do is PC and one of the other platforms, and we've been bouncing back and forth between them.

"Yeah, I mean I wouldn't rule it out. We might do that one later on."

The first episode of Tales of Monkey Island, Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, arrives for PC on 7th July. A WiiWare date is still TBC - a minor drawback of introducing a third party, explained Grossman.

And while PC, WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade have been the target so far, Grossman said the real dream is to span every possible platform, including PS3.

"We just haven't gotten there yet," he said. "Ultimately, we would like to be on every downloadable channel there is. We think that's the perfect place for our stuff to be.

"It was just luck of the draw how the business relationships worked out and what chips were falling where. And we have to get our engine working on the platform, which is quite a bit of work, so we only want to do one at a time.

"We wound up doing Xbox," he added, "but maybe later we'll do PlayStation - we'll see."

As for Mac and Linux, Grossman told us Telltale will "get there", but it's a matter of "how and when and can we actually afford to do it".

"But I'd like to see that, too," he said.

The Inside Xbox UK bloke said on his Twitter last week that the next 2 weeks would be great for fighting fans.

Maybe he was talking about BlazBlue.

Or KoF98UM! That would be a good way to make up for the (unconfirmed?) KoF12 delay.
 
I just realised that Wolfenstein 3D is available in Australia... on the PlayStation Network. Why the hell wasn't it released in Australia for XBLA?

it just didn't feel all that fun, at least from the demo.
I can appreciate the graphics, sound, presentation but the game itself felt a little dull.
 
MrPointyHead has tweeted again:

As you've probably seen by now, Garou: Mark of the Wolves is the first treat for fighting fans on XBLA. Next week's is a belter too imho.

I guess from what we know of, it'd have to be KoF 98 UM? But I thought that wasn't expected until later in the year?

Some sort of stealth release, maybe?
Power Stone pls!
 
I ordered a 4000 points card from ebay 6 hours ago. Haven't received my code yet. How long does is normally take?

I sort of hope it is, just so everyone romanticizing it as the awesome game it never was can get their goddamn rose-tinted goggles slapped off their faces and stomped on.
 
Does this guy sell any gold cards? My one month gold died a day ago. I would have gotten in on that deal yesterday on Ebay but by the time I checked it the deal was gone and it was back up to the regular price.
 
Yes, go to his store. Gold for 1 year is 30 bucks.
Just wondering are the gold memberships region free?
I've spent $120 so far on points
 
I just bought Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

For some reason I keep thinking I need to press up for the arm to pull me up. :lol

/RAAAAAAAAAGE

Also, I think I need to get the Street Fighter pad for this. The default controller has the worst d-pad ever.

'Antichrist' Game Under Development
Game based on controversial movie "definitely not coming to Walmart," director says.
By Kat Bailey, 06/23/2009

Licensed games have been part of video games going back to the dawn of the medium. Everything from ET to Saw has gotten its own game at some point. This one goes arguably quite a bit beyond even Saw though.

MTV Multiplayer is reporting that Dutch director Lars Von Trier wants to make his controversial film Antichrist into a game. The movie debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, and ended up being so graphic that it actually earned the director an "anti-prize" from the judges, who called it "the most misogynist movie from the self-proclamed biggest director in the world."

It has a fan in Zentropa's Morten Iverson though, who has previously worked on titled such as Hitman. Zentropa is Von Trier's production company, and Iverson said that the director has been circulating the idea of making games for some time now.

Iverson admitted that it would be a tough game to tackle, saying, "[The movie] goes against all the conventions of how you make games and what you can do in games. Dead kids, nudity, graphic violence. It will be a very controversial game, and it'll be a game that doesn't really compare with anything else."

"We don't expect Wal-Mart to roll in crates of this and put it on their shelves. Absolutely not available at Wal-Mart!"

Titled Eden, after the film's cabin, the title is slated to be released on Xbox Live Arcade and Steam. Iverson described as a "nightmarish Myst."

As for the controversy that Iverson admitted that Eden would inevitably generate, he merely said, "Bring it on! Controversy!"

Eden is still early in development, but it should be arriving sometime next year.

Any risk of getting banned or losing the points if I make a US account while living in Europe?
That 4000 points for 30$ deal is really tempting.

Good question. Is it against MS policy to purchase points off ebay?
Bit on 4000 myself.
Think some kind of code has been cracked, this guy is just doing us all a big favor or cards have been purchased in a shady fashion?

They probably fell off the back of a truck, if you know what I mean.

Yosumin LIVE! Updated to 250

Yosumin LIVE! had been updated to 250 total gamerscore with three new achievements. This update from xbox.com beats any official announcement of DLC for the game, but the achievements point to a new "Adventure Mode" being added. Obviously since it hasn't been announced, I have no idea on a release date or price, but stay tuned and I'll keep an eye out for more information.

Tiles and Tribulations 10
Complete Yosumin! Adventure mode.

Om nom nom nom nom 10
Collect all the Treats in Yosumin! Adventure mode.

Nice Nice Baby 30
Earn Nice Clearance on all courses in Yosumin! Adventure mode.

Adventure mode was a core mode in the DS version. If they cut it out of the XBLA version just to sell it to us, that's bigtime bullshit.

I'm not so sure about that.

A) Even buying Adventure mode separately, the XBLA game is cheaper than the DS title by quite a bit.
B) It's Square Enix. Stripping out content from their downloadable games to sell it back to the gamer in bite-size DLC chunks is their gimmick. It would be more surprising for them not to do it.
