MS: XBLA and XNA will 'leapfrog' the competition

leapfrog... DEATHMATCH!!!

I'm in the UK, and had a XNA membership then, all the test games were available for a fixed period to both XNA members and Live members. May have been Gold only.

Did you try any of those XNA games? Dead Samurai, Jelly Car, etc? I liked those games a lot. :)

Oh, and we all know that Schizoid is going to be freakin' awesome!

Not sure if it was open to Europe or not but i couldn't get access to them, no.

I wasn't condemning them to be bad, I'm just not holding out hope on them being much good. Heres hoping they prove me wrong.

So Mr. Ed...are you really that stupid, or are you just being a fucktard?

Knight: you might want to look up the meaning of "leapfrog." You don't do it from a lead position.

I have a 360 and a Wii, and they're different. (I played the XNA when they were available, and they were markedly more interesting than their regular Arcade games, but getting them was really obtuse but proably just because it was 'temporary.')

That said, I've played nothing on Arcade that is as entertaining as My Life as King.

But I play a lot of homebrew, and I think XNA has the potential to indeed make a difference. True, we'll see reincarnations of Asteroids and Pong, but homebrew developers are capable of making some outstanding (though often shallow) games. But at this point, it's just speculation.

If Nintendo were to embrace homebrew development, though, the potential there is probably just as interesting if not more, given the possibility of bringing in the DS.

As far as I'm concerned, competition is good.

Seriously, Pain is your trump card? You could have said they have Fl0w, or even Super Stardust. But a ragdoll slingshot simulator? Ick.

Anyway, the way I look at it, XBLA has about a hundred crap games and a dozen good ones; PSN has about a dozen crap games and half a dozen good ones. By that measure, XBLA still wins.

Yeah no shit dude I was gonna say the same damn thing. XBLA is already far superior and makes way more money then both Wiiware and PSN combined. The won't be leap frogging the competition with XNA they will be skull fucking it into submission.
