Title: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Lizard Dude on October 10, 2010, 09:30:27 PM
Oh my stars and garters, Konami is bringing the legendary six-player X-Men arcade game to XBLA/PSN. The sound of Colossus using his mutant power will haunt my brain once more. (Actually it never left.)

This game also had one of the most bangin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-yK0BR98Lk) soundtracks of all time (of all time!).

Go and save the city!

Remember to dress up when you play it. Show some respect!

Love this game.

As young kids, two of my friends and I, spent what seemed like an ungodly amount of money and actually beat this game.

X-MEN. WELCOME TO DIE.

It definitely will online.

As for local, PS3 supports up to 8 controllers naturally so that's no problem. I don't know what 360 will do. It's theoretically possible: RB3 is 7-players local, but I've never seen a game access more than 4 regular controllers at once.

I've never played it or heard of it, but it sounds like a good game for Jim, Black Mage, Lizard Dude, TEM, me and Solid to play.

I hope this isn't a download-able exclusive :\
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Chupperson Weird on October 26, 2010, 03:41:52 PM
Yes, it is. It will be download-only.

Post by: WarpRattler on October 26, 2010, 05:40:01 PM
I don't know why nensondubois was hoping a game that's probably going to cost $10 would be available on a disc at release.

bobman37: Hmm, that's funny. Only 1 of those 6 people plays 360 EVER.

nensondubois: Welcome to 2010. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Hey man. I legit can't afford to have an xbox at college. Otherwise I'd still be gamin' it up hardcore, which I'm still doing, just PC-style for now.

This is coming out next week! On 360. For PS3 it comes out in... February. LOOOOOOOOOOL!!! I guess they don't call it the X-Box for nothing!

Word on the street is that they're including the Japanese version of the game too, which had powerups (??!).

Download-exclusives shouldn't exist until everyone in the world has access to broadband.

I'd agree if we were talking about something you'd normally buy at retail, like some of these $30 PSP games that are download-only, or a few PC games that cost upwards of $20 and can only be bought through Steam or whatnot. Not when we're talking about a $10 port of an arcade classic.

Well, I was going to ask which version to pick up so we could all play together, but that answers that.

X-Men on the X-Box. Like, duh.

Consider it done.
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Lizard Dude on December 10, 2010, 10:16:39 PM
We should set a specific time to get together and play through it, preferably on Wednesday night.

I call Colossus (for the sound effect).

Post by: Black Mage on December 10, 2010, 10:46:03 PM
Nightcrawler. Cyclops, then!

I'm game for Wednesday night. I work until 6-7ish EST.

How does a 7:00 PM CDT* start time work for everyone? (LD, BM, b37, Jim, Solid???, TEM??????)

*Central Deezer Time
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Black Mage on December 13, 2010, 07:54:56 PM
Works like a charm.
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Captain Jim on December 14, 2010, 12:03:35 PM
I could probably work that, yeah.
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Weegee on December 14, 2010, 05:43:10 PM
I'd tap that.
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Captain Jim on December 15, 2010, 10:21:17 AM
Already picked it up.
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: bobman37 on December 15, 2010, 04:27:22 PM
Bad news bears, I got called in to work. I won't be able to play until about 8:30 mountain time.
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Black Mage on December 15, 2010, 07:30:22 PM
What's the word?
Title: Re: The X-Men Are Back
Post by: Lizard Dude on December 15, 2010, 07:56:24 PM
I was in RB3 thinking I would see people logon but my internet had apparently disconnected and I didn't realize for ten minutes or so. BM was there but Jim is in DR2 and won't join.

Since bobman37 got delayed until 9:30 CDT I guess I'll come back then (an eating contest had come up that I want to attend anyway).

I'll be back on a 9:30 CDT / 8:30 Mountain to play with whoever's on.

Sorry about that, my brother had reign of the X-box since he had a bunch of friends over. But I'm free now.

Yo dudes sorry for screwing things up, I just got home and I'm cooking pizza but I'll try to do that and start playing at the same time, I'll sign in to xbox asap
