Actually for shooters if it came down to having only either online co-op or local co-op, I'll take local any day. Of course it'll be ideal if they have both.
Yeah, I actually meant both instead of just one, but I'd still prefer online over local personally as long as the netcode's alright. I'm still going to buy Omega Five, but it's kind of disappointing that so many developers still don't incorporate proper Xbox Live support in their XBLA games. Especially with shooters.
 
Anybody heard anything about the achievements in Exit being glitched?

I just reached the end of scenario 5 with a 5000 score, but for some reason didn't get the Escapologist achievement....

"Escapologist 20G
Reach a score of 5,000 or more by the end of Situation 5"

...or is there something I don't know about this achievement?

Like...how do you get "more" than 5,000 points anyways? Seems to be max is 100 per stage x 5 scenarios x 10 stages = 5,000 max, right?
 
Request for this thread. I like how most new releases wind up with their own threads now -- makes sense and cuts some of the clutter here down.

But I think it would be nice if the creators of those threads, or someone who cares about this thread would post links to those threads here... it'd make it easy to find where those discussions are. I don't know about anyone else, but I've got this thread subscribed, so it's pretty easy access, whereas threads about a specific game might not be quite so "at-my-fingertips"
 
Any free xbl arcade games right now? Or any bargain deals on games? I'm sad i missed the free pinball a while back :/ I'm going through each one at a time on xbl's site but damn this takes forever.

Free = Aegis Wings (fun in multiplayer only) and Yaris (fun if you like shitty games)

I must have misunderstood someones post that said "even for free I regret spending my money on this." I didn't really understand what they were saying so maybe it was a typo. Thanks for responding to the meat of my post :) *high five*

Well, the way I do it is, I usually simulcast all of the information, post it in a new thread and here as well, gets it across a wide spectrum.
 
" in addition to offline co-op and multiplayer LIVE support for two people"

Unless they are doing some shenanigans here with what "Live" entails, it is online as well.

Yeah, just read the press release and it could be that Gamerscore Blog just phrased it awkwardly, possibly with wrong information. It happened before after all...
 
anyone else having major download problems with live?
from friday till sunday the downloads were extremly slow (exit took me 6 hours!).
10 hours ago, everything was fine again.

but right now its superslow.

phew so online co-op is there :D
I hope you guys are right. The way it's worded makes me fear that it will be some BS where your scores are combined or something like that, but you're not actually playing together in true co-op.
 
I haven't been impressed with XBLA of late. I must be one of the rare people who actually prefers the remade classics. I'm not really into these new games that remind me of PC downloads.

Ok, seriously guy, where in the name of criminy is Sensible World of Soccer?

Judging by Microsoft's PR about the games coming shortly, I'm not even expecting to see it before Christmas. Codemasters REALLY dropped the ball announcing that August release.

Yea, it should be noted that those Microsoft lists tend to be a bit inaccurate.

What on earth happened that it has spent so long in hell/certification? IIRC there was a review of SWOS back in the summer (I forget the source) so Codemasters must have felt the game was close to release to start getting review builds out.
Somewhere along the way something has gone very wrong... that makes me a sad panda.

No doubt. Why aren't we seeing arcade ports of Shinobi, Jackal, or Tecmo Bowl? People would buy those!

SWOS must be stuck in certification hell. Good thing PES came out last week.

Rubbergenius on the codemasters forum says that Eurogamer will have a new Q & A session about SWOS up on their site, possibly later today.

TBH, some of the questions/answers you might lot might be underwhelmed by, however, it gives a reason for the delay, talks about the revised release date, and more than anything, it's news about the game.

After the last couple of months I guess you're all relieved (as I am) that we're looking forward to release again.

I am relieved but if the release date isn't this year I'll punch someone. In the eye. With both fists. Each fist will also have a lemon attached to it. A lemon covered in razor blades.
