Oct 24th 2011 12:30AM (Joystiq)totally agree....i want to see if i can somehow demo it on my PC, because that framerate on the 360 was terrible. with a game moving as fast as sonic...not good.
XBL Indie Games Uprising returns this summer, taking submissions
Jun 16th 2011 6:03AM (Joystiq)It would probably be worse - XBLIG would be flooded with games that gave you all the points just for buying it and paying the dev money, thus invalidating the whole point of earning your gamerscore through completing...*achievements*

Mar 14th 2011 2:17PM (Joystiq)Depends on what you're referring to -
Portal 2's line was over an hour at just about all times, but...it's Portal 2. Pretty sure EVERYONE in the convention center wanted to go see that.
3DS..waited maybe 20 mins. Gears 3...again maybe 20 mins. Other stuff was longer, but not 'everything'.
And while your comment may have some truth to it with regards to the Expo Hall, it was a completely different story with the panels. Last year just about every panel's line was at capacity over an hour before the show. Some maybe an hour and a half - people would be going into a panel and the line for the NEXT panel in that theatre would already be full! If two panels you wanted to go to were near each other time-wise, you had to pick.
This year...most panels only filled up 5 minutes ahead of time, if at all. Only the incredibly popular ones that were also after the Expo Hall had closed filled up really early (The Day[9] and HuskyStarcraft Saturday panel comes to mind).
In this way, the new venue was a huge improvement, especially because the lines for most of the exhibits were fine as long as you just kept checking for when they would be slower.

i recovered my account to a friend's Xbox..when I recovered it back, the recovering process failed. I deleted the profile and re-recovered it, but afterwards it refused to associate my saves with my account, essentially rendering all my saves as useless. T_T
