The Xbox One version is supposed to be $39,99 right? Then why is MS selling it for $59,99? This doesn't bode well for the digital price

 

[KillerIsJed]

So the game on Xbox 360 (maybe PC as well?) is online ONLY, even for Garden Ops which can be played solo. You can't even access the games options on the Xbox 360 version without being online.

So here is a video of the manual and credits...yay?

Looks like EA has filed a copyright claim on my video. A video that only shows the manual, partial credits and the main menu mind you. Plenty of other videos show similar content.

I guess they didn't like that fact that I revealed / confirmed that you can't play on offline whatsoever on the Xbox 360 version.

 

[Meier]

I'd really like to play this but I just don't ever touch my 360 any more. Maybe once I go ahead and build a new machine I'll go ahead and try and give it a go. My current PC is so far removed from current games that I can't imagine it running it effectively. I voted this as the Game of Show at E3 for at least 1 platform -- it looked GREAT to me.

I can confirm, the game has always-online DRM (even on console) even when not playing online.

Xboners add me for some co-op/competitive fun!

I thinks it's been well known for months now it's an online only game on the 360.

 

[SAB CA]

That "Always on DRM" doesn't sound too surprising for a game that apparently lets you earn credits for items and stuff even in the offline mode. Else we'd possibly have the dreaded offline account "hacking" that created things like the "Nol" virus in PSO, or any other amount of value-modifiying nightmares that arise in such games.

Annoying, sure, but I prefer it to having offline not count for your unified profile.

Can the second gamertag earn credits offline as well, or is 2P mysteriously "tied to the 1p profile" as it is in many splitscreen games / modern fighters?

 

[SebastianAlexander]

is there any footage of the 360 version out there - at all?!

 

[p3tran]

so, what time is this up on xbone marketplace?

 

[Murmur]

so, what time is this up on xbone marketplace?

Would love to know as well. Do I wait up or will it be available later in the day (already need to be up fairly late for work).

 

[derFeef]

Getting this on Friday me thinks, hope online is populated on the One.
Mainly focusing on coop but if GnG turns out good who knows for sure.

 

[OdysseusVA]

None

so, what time is this up on xbone marketplace?

No one knows for sure.

 

[speculawyer]

So no PC version and no PS4 version?

No, Microsoft, Peggle 2 and PvZ: Garden Warfare are still not enough to get me to buy a xbone.

 

[OdysseusVA]

So no PC version and no PS4 version?

Timed exclusive. Give it a couple of months.

 

[Poundis Rex]

That'll show 'em!

Peggle 2 is pretty good...

 

[Mdk7]

Finally some people online to play with!
I had a couple of good matches in the last few minutes, the game is definitely fun and i can't wait to try Gardens and Tombstones tomorrow.

360 version looks really nice, my little nephew is going to love this game.

 

[Friction]

Is the Xbox One split screen good for MP online matches as well? Or just offline?

The only reason I'm excited about this game is the local multiplayer. Anyone with hands-on time, I'd love some clarification.

Games with color are such a treat these days.

 

[speculawyer]

Peggle 2 is pretty good...

They are getting closer to winning me over.

 

[Steelyuhas]

Xbox One really needs a pre-load option so we can get our digital games downloaded before the actual release date. Looking forward to playing this tomorrow if the reviews are good.

Well given the Titanfall store page before MS took it down, they've developed the feature, but at least for now they are holding off actually introducing it (I assume it's retail complaints/demands).

 

[Iced_Eagle]

so, what time is this up on xbone marketplace?

Past releases have been up between 12am-4am Pacific time.

Hey that doesn't look too bad! Nice.

 

[John_RiticelloEA]

Huh, so they made a PvZ battlefield... Looks fun

 

[m@cross]

Looks fun, though not sure I can get into a cartoonish shooter. Certainly an interesting direction for the IP.

 

[Anion]

Dang, so my preorder got delayed from ToyRUs. Did anyone elses preoder get delayed? Usually I preorder from Best Buy, but this time I got it from ToyRUs since I had a gift card.

I preordered from Amazon and it still hasn't shipped yet.

I'm pretty sure you're set. I've seen video's of offline COOP split screen (Xbone).

Game looks like a lot of fun! This and Peggle 2 make me really want an Xbone.

 

[ChosenPredator]

I want to know this as well

 

[hwalker84]

Where the hell are the reviews? And when is the download going up?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Where the hell are the reviews? And when is the download going up?

I heard someone on here say reviews are embargoed until 12:01AM PST / 3:01AM EST. The game will most likely come out around that time as well.

 

[darkressurection]

Game is live on the Store on the One console: $39.99

 

[Gowans]

Well thats the time, wonder if we start to see reviews & footage now.

edit: yup - Gamespot Rev3

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Polygon review is up. 8.5

 

[hawk2025]

[AstroLad]

You guys saw the gamesradar review right? 3.5/5. Interested

http://www.gamesradar.com/plants-vs-zombies-garden-warfare-review/

Garden Warfare is a fun, polished shooter, and what it lacks in gameplay depth it more than makes up for with fun cosmetic gear you'll actually want to unlock.

 

[nampad]

Anyone opening up a review thread? Would do it myself if I had the time updating it.

Thanks, y'all.


Now, I play the waiting game!

 

[darkressurection]

Looks like it turned out to be a fun, solid, little shooter. Can't wait for the download to finish, hopefully there are enough people playing for me to get in a game or two before bed.

Weird it defo isn't showing on the US webstore for me yet, direct page link?

Not showing for me either.

 

[Murmur]

You can find it online if you view a friend's activity.

For example, I'm following Jeff from Giant Bomb (gamertag GiantBombing). I can compare achievements. From there I can click "Play game", which takes you to the store page.

... downloading now!
