Vigilante 8 Arcade gets delayed ... again

Poor Vigilante 8 Arcade. The car combat game has gone from a sweet spot in June (where it could have been a cool oasis in the summer doldrums) to being all but finished in August and now, the game has hit yet another snag with a few obscure bugs in the Microsoft certification process. So now, Luxoflux is looking at more QA with Activision followed by a second certification attempt.

Don't get us wrong, we appreciate everyone taking the time to get it right. But we're entering that time of year when it would take something huge to wrest our attention from the torrent of retail releases, and we're just not sure Vigilante 8 has that kind of pull anymore. Here's hoping we see it soon.

Poor Vigilante 8 Arcade. Justin won't even bother to do it justice by spelling the entire title correctly. :)

Aha! Fixed.

Just thought I'd mention that before someone calls me out for being an idot needs lern 2 reed.

Man. I loved Vigilante 8, especially Second Offense. It was a lot like Twisted Metal, though...

this is definitely a genre of game that needs to be brought back... the ps1 days of vigilante 8 and twisted metal were great

Ugh...this is killer. I am so looking forward to this game. Fix those bugs quick luxoflux!!!

remember the bitchin' level where you were on a ski hill?

thoooooooooooose were the days

Hell yes! Oh man...forgot about that level. So damn fun. As a side note - how can Castle Crashers make it through the XBLA certification process with major bugs, but this gets held up for "a few obscure bugs"???

I remember that level. I also remember how it would slow down to like 1 FPS if you had an avalanche going and were stuck in one of those magnetic mines at the same tme.
