I'm sorry but what is wrong with picking up an unfinished game and giving it a shot? Just because it wasn't going well with one team means the idea is a scrub?
Give it a chance. Jade Raymond is not a hack, even though Ubisoft whored her out pretty good. We don't even know what her game really is right now. Maybe its really cool. And since when is a digital download synonymous with second-rate? This is 2011 people try and have some standards. DD games can be very innovative and can provide a good value.
@captain-obvious You got a point. This does look bad. But not all full price download-only games suck. Look at Warhawk or the recently released ME2. But this is Ubisoft we're talking about, so chances are it may not be good. We're gonna have to wait and see.
This game was very intriguing but sadly I don't buy digital downloads. The fact that not much has been seen and a different developer is handling it now isn't that promising either.
When's the release date? 2 months after it will be $30 anyway. I'll get it discounted, $60 is too much for digital release where no one has to pay packaging, disc pressing and shipping and I don't get a savings.
Regardless of what they charge, though it'll probably be $60, few people are going to want to waste the 6~7GB of space on their HDD. Especially the average person with a console. People with a Xbox Arcade SKU wont be able to at all.
My OCD prevents me from buying anything digital, I need a hardcopy. Which I guess is good because I never pirate anything, but bad because I can't get this :(
Been a while since anything was heard about this game. It didnt sound all that interesting back then but for some reason, it being a dl title makes it a bit more appealing :/
you would think as modern gamers DD would seem to be the next logical step but it rather seems to feel the equal to straight to dvd movies or to me it does.
kind of like when i watch a movie trailer that looks appealing and really interesting and at the end it says in IMAX and in 3d....I always seem to groan and loose interest
This download only sucks...I would spend less than 10-20 min driving to the nearest mall and buying this game(depends on traffic in my area) which is much better that to wait 1-2hour plus to download(depends on internet service)..This download only shit is sucks.... >:(
They is nothing wrong with DLC but when a game comes out it supposed to have the option of buy CD version at ur local mall and not download only!!!! Sometimes it takes me 2-3 hours to download demos(bcuz my internet service is sometimes good and sometimes bad)..In that 2-3 hours i would have completed the first few levels of the game.
I'm well aware and I have bought products off Steam and XBL. All great games that I knew I'd always go back to. This one...don't see this having the addictive replay power of Peggle and Geometry Wars.
I love that you sidestepped my trade-in arguement.
I too prefer physical over digital, though I don't ever trade in games myself, but I agree that it could be a turn off for some people. As for replay value there is not enough known about the game to make that any such assumptions yet, at least for me.
PSN+ wont get the "free version" of a full sized retail game - unless they rework the entire story to make it a PSN/Arcade type game and strip it of all the promising stuff.
What the fuck Ubisoft? I was extermeley intrested in this game!!! It reminded me of Desaster report and Raw danger both were awesome games. At least they had the balls to bring it out on disc let alone in North america. I really dont like having digital copies of games on my system but for this i make an exception i guess...
How disappointing. I'm still interested in the game but this is obviously a sign that the final product will be a shadow what the developers originally intended.
Well.... I suppose it still good be a good game. My guess is Ubisoft took what was there and realized there were only a handful of levels that were compelling. Rather than try and flesh it out to a full retail game they decided to run with what they had for PSN and XBLA. That means this game will be coming in right around 2GB.
2GB means one of two things... shallow depth to the game but great visuals or...lacking a bit visually and audio wise in order to allow a bigger experience. My guess is the first.
But, I could be wrong... maybe this will be the first full game release for digital only on XBLA and PSN and come in around the 6GB mark. I doubt it...but who knows.
For those who are optimistic that this will be good and saying not to count it out because it is DD only - Wake up. The company doesn't have enough confidence in the product to release it(the article states just that) on disc. If the company that made the game thinks it sucks then I'm pretty darn sure it actually does. Even if it is good(which it is not, I guarantee) I personally prefer a physical disc and I always will so I will pass. Downloadable games are fine for smaller titles. Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Joe Danger, Worms.. etc are all awesome games but larger titles are best in a case on the shelf as far as I'm concerned.
well what would you change? its hard to be original these days because most genres have all been done, most stories have become cliche you know. i know what you mean for me the ps2 was my golden days but thats because i never had a ps1 i was a bit too young to enjoy it.
so i guess if you download the special edition you get....more downloadable stuff? i dunno i would rather have the physical copy. part of the fun is driving and buy and holding. it's kind of like waking up on christmas and your stuff is unwrapped and already put away.
not knocking the game though it looks cool and interesting. other downloadable games to check out are alan wake, gears 1 and 2, mass effect, odd world, and so on
How dissapointing. A great concept down the train. Wasnt there a similar PS2 game though? Set in Tokyo after an earthquake? Ubisoft, you just know how to make people dislike you. First, you ruin Endwar. Then scrap Endwar2. Now this. PFffft.
Am I the only one who doesn't care if it's only released as a digital form? As long as the game looks fun and interesting, then, why not?
Anyway, stupid question but the head title said has a release date, but there's nothing mentioned in the article itself nor a source. Just a small paragraph saying "it'll be digitial because ubisoft doesn't think this game will get good sells." Fake?
That's not a sign of trouble...
Ouch! thats a bit of a let down that it's download only :(. I'll be getting it though, it looked good.
Wow, what was the last time i saw any info on this game?
I was wondering what was going on with this one.
dude I dont even care anymore
it looked so awesome when it was first anounced
