Is HurricaneX2 on it's way for Xbox 360?
Cat writes: Sometimes technology lets us down. I'm not talking about red rings, yellow lights or even the great white unicorn of failure sightings: a busted Wii. No, this time it's my recording of my time at the XNA booth at PAX. After spending one great big jam-packed hour with the reps, six games and one of the game finalist developers, the whole thing is lost to the tech ether. My time there, however, was way too much fun to not relive, even if it lacks the punch of quotes and footage. Indie games just rock too hard to be confined by such things. The Dream.Build.Play Challenge is for independent and hobbyist devs, and gamers dreaming of bring a game to life. Using XNA Game Studio they create a game for the chance at a piece of the $75,000 cash prize and having their game published on XBLA. This year's competition saw over 350 entries spanning over 100 countries, and I can hardly imagine the depth of quality in that submission pool after seeing what the finalists delivered.
Off topic, but whatever happened to LBP type game? Seems like its completely fallen off the radar. hasn't it been released?
Your talking about magnetic mind huh?
That game made the top 20 in the finals
^____^
But the games in this article made top five .
wasnt the lbp type of game called boku? I cant remember.
edit: @kionic. I can see where that would look like a lbp type of game but I didnt see where you could actually create stuff from scratch and manipulate it. I saw the movement of some of the objects that are already there.
I still think it was first revealed that boku was supposed to be a customizable type of game where you could make things and make them do things on the screen (ala lbp).
Thanks for the vid. really good looking game for an independent title.
KionicWarlord has it - Magnetic Mind - b/c in addition to the LBP style there's this whole controlling stuff with your "magnetic mind" thing in play.
They were one of 20 finalists, I played the 4 winning games plus 2 others I wanted to try out.
Not Magnetic Mind. It was its own make-your-own-game-game and not part of any competition. Kuju doesn't turn up anything relevant either.

Yeah, that's it. Thanks.
Though google gave me a juicer first... :/
oh...kodu .
Yeah ...Microsoft published that .
I thought you were talking about something that involved the dream build play competition .
The finalists do seem to have something for everyone, which makes me curious, when they are released on XBLA which do you think you'll pick up?
The guy that made HurricaneX2 paid such amazing attention to detail in the movements - it was cool what a difference it made watching the combat, you feel like you're watching/part of an authentic battle - well, as authentic as a series of brawls spanning ancient locales can be

This year's global Dream.Build.Play Challenge garnered over 350 games from more than 100 countries. Those who participated in the contest, and are located in a supported region, will have the opportunity to publish their games on the Xbox LIVE Indie Games Channel.
James Silva basically kicked of what is possible with XNA Studios and Microsoft's help with The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai which was an amazing game. Can't wait to see these winner's titles hit XBLA and more to continue following.
Wait, is there already info about Jamezila's next game or are you talking about 'I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1'

Well he will be attending PAX. There is info that he will be showing off his next project there.
MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES!!!1 is already available on Xbox LIVE Indy, so his "next" game isnt announced yet...
Something at PAX I hope.

Play, Create, Share
don't make it so obvious MS, seriously ripping off LBP. how lame.
So did MS rip off LBP when they released game design tools for Windows 15 years ago?
F**k! you're a stupid droid
hey jason did he say anything about tools, like u, no hes talking about Play create share and how Ms copies that with dream build play which sounds horrible
Trophies...sounds so much like achievements...
...so obvious...don't you think?
When it comes to marketing...Sony is the last company that MS would wish to copy off of...they do just fine on their own in that area.

how is letting people make games with something they had before LBP a LBP rip off.
BTW @ above. mind the whole XBL marketplace. now with firmware 3 PSN finaly almost had everything the 360's MP has. but a lot of bugs ruined it for them.
...vibrating controllers...
Just for your information, the slogan Dream Build Play was first used by MS back in 2006, so....

Great. . .but what's HurricaneX1 though?
I never heard of this game before now. The gameplay videos look pretty tight though.
this was suppose to come out a few years ago. it was one of those xbox 40k contest games. another game was "dust the elysian tales" which I think won that year.
both should have hit 360 but they were being fixed up last time l heard
