Jul 22nd 2011 12:16PM (Joystiq)And to answer your final statement, I personally don't want TP to make Full Retail games. They are great at what they do and have some of the best games at the arcade. I want them to keep doing what they are good at and that's short and addictive games with boatloads of humor and fun. neo

Jul 22nd 2011 11:24AM (Joystiq)Again, we will probably never know for sure unless Twisted Pixel or DoubleFine speak out. But my firm belief is that the Kinect is failing because there is NO software on it other than Dance Central. TP and DF are both brilliant developers who started building both of these games (quite far along I might add) as downloadable titles. It makes no sense for them to jump to retail, they've been successful with their releases and like the arcade space. That makes it's apparent that Microsoft saw they had 2 quality products that utilize the Kinect well and decided they wanted to push it to the shelves for Moms and Dads to buy for their family room.
In the end, what upsets me most is that we don't have the option. I'm not against MS pushing the games in retail for people that don't know or want to use the arcade, but the game should be like $20 retail and 1200 points arcade day and date. If they did that everyone would be happy and I would gladly support the developers new games. But that's not the case, the games are only Retail.
And, a small side note, if you are really looking for good Kinect games like Gunstringer, than you are probably interested in Fruit Ninja. But guess what, if you want to buy Gunstringer than you also have to wait an extra month before you can play Fruit Ninja....unless of course you'd like to pay for it twice. It's just so stupid that we don't have the option that the developers started with and that's making an ARCADE game. neo

Jul 22nd 2011 11:03AM (Joystiq)Not to jump ship, but this is the same reason why I refuse to buy Once Upon a Monster. It's the principle. Twisted Pixel and DoubleFine (recently) do downloadable games.....and GREAT games at that. The Splosion Man series and Stacking are some of my favorite arcade titles. OUaM and Gunstringer were both built and marketed as downloadable games, but then Microsoft comes in and jacks up the price and forces them to be retail releases so they have more Kinect Titles to show.....because they for some reason can't release a game that's worth a crap themselves so they force their best arcade companies to fill that need. It's disgusting and I refuse to support it financially. So, until Gunstringer and Once Upon a Monster are downloadable for a good price like they were originally meant then I will be keeping my money.
12 Days of Joyswag: Fable 3 rucksack with Collector's Edition, book, and controller
Dec 20th 2010 11:22PM (Joystiq)I was riding out close to Pike's Basin. Cliff caught me off guard, I tried to stop but didn't have enough runway. However, instead of my horse flying to it's death, and me with it, it was like the horse was glued to the ground and literally went horizontal with the botton of the basin. At that point I could no longer move, I was just stuck, sideways looking at my death. The only think I could do was dismount and fall to my death. It was funny.....at first, lol. neo
