ACTIVISION ANNOUNCES VIGILANTE 8: ARCADE FOR XBOX LIVE ARCADE

 

V8: Arcade is a remake of the classic V8 series of vehicular shooters by Luxoflux/Activision from the late 1990s: Vigilante 8 for PS1/N64 (1998) and Vigilante 8: Second Offense for PS1/N64/Dreamcast (1999).

 

V8: Arcade is a brand new re-imagining of the original themes and gameplay, engineered from the ground up for todayʼs hardware by the original founders of Luxoflux and V8 developers. Could things get any better?Absolutely, because quite soon, the magic of V8 car-combat will be available to millions of Xbox Live Arcade users via digital download, presented in cutting edge audio-visual splendor, and… at quite an affordable price, too!

 

In addition to local split-screen mode, multiple players will be able take their car-crushing skills online, competing and/or teaming up with other V8 players the world over!

 

Players will rediscover the joys of weapon-based off-road car mayhem by savoring the following features, currently being cooked up at the ʽlabsʼ:

 

* Five newly designed, highly interactive arenas, using Bezier patch technology for maximum surface smoothness!

* Eight gorgeous, highly varied ʽ70s vehicles, rendered using advanced metallic shaders at 10,000+ polygons each

* Classic V8 character personas and unique special weapons

* Six standard weapon pick-ups with three advanced attacks each, featuring both ʽclassicʼ (combo) and ʽcasualʼ (charge-up) input methods

* Multiple collectible power-ups and ʽsalvage pointsʼ

* User-customizable car paint color

* Advanced car physics for hyper-semi-realism and ultra high replay value — easy to pick up, difficult to master!

* Spectacular pyrotechnic, destruction effects, and physics-driven interactive hazards

* Single player modes against advanced bot AI

* Local split-screen modes up to four players

* Online multiplayer with up to eight human players

* Voice and (hopefully) camera support

* Leaderboards, achievements, unlockable secrets, and more!

* Free and premium extra downloadable content planned...

 

The game is currently slated for April 2008 release.

Microsoft Responds to NPD, Talks Shortage

 

Following the release of the January NPD video game sales data, Microsoft has once again acknowledged a shortage situation for its Xbox 360, which sold 230K units during the month.

 

"Our retailers are telling us that Xbox 360 is selling as fast as they can restock, but due to this high demand, Xbox 360 is experiencing temporary shortages. We are working as quickly as we can to replenish inventory," the company said in a statement.

 

Microsoft also outlined some of the Xbox 360 highlights for its business in the January period:

 

In January, $297 million was spent on the Xbox 360 platform (hardware, software and accessories combined), compared to $244 million on Wii and $219 million on PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

$159 million was spent on Xbox 360 games alone in January compared to $131 million on Wii and $80 million for PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

Total customer spending on Xbox 360 life-to-date now reaches nearly $8.6 billion; this is more than double PS3 and Wii combined. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

Six of the top 10 best selling games in January are on Xbox 360's platform. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

After five months on the market, Halo 3 continues to make the top 10 best selling games list according to NPD with 127,000 additional units sold in January. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Xbox 360 was the number one selling game across all platforms for the third month in a row. In January, the fourth edition of Activision's acclaimed war game sold more than 331,000 copies on Xbox 360 and outsold the PS3 version by more than 2:1. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

Music fans love to jam on Rock Band and Guitar Hero III on Xbox 360! The Xbox 360 version of Rock Band sold more than 172,000 units in January and ranked fifth on the top 10 best selling games according to NPD. Rock Band on PS3 failed make it into the top 25 list for January. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

Third party publishers made 61 percent of their retail revenue, this generation, on Xbox 360 compared to 20 percent on Wii and 18 percent on PS3. (U.S. NPD, January)

 

Xbox 360 has 83 titles with a Metacritic review score of 80 or higher compared to just 42 for PS3 and 14 for Wii.

 

Note: Although Microsoft talks about top 10 best selling lists above, these do not seem to match the ranked-by-units list we have from The NPD Group. We're guessing they're looking at ranked-by-dollars charts. We've contacted MS for clarification.

Game Informer posted a note indicating that the review discs provided to editorial outlets by Microsoft performed differently than the boxed retail. As it turns out, the Internet is abuzz with anecdotal reports that the loading times reported by GameSpot and other press outlets are not indicative of the final product

 

As with many games, we received code from Microsoft indicated as final and reviewable. However, as is often the case, the discs were standard DVDs and not final pressed discs, so the media only plays in debug consoles, i.e., consoles developers use to test non-final code, and are designed to play code written to standard DVD.

 

What Happens Next: We will be purchasing retail copies of Lost Odyssey this morning at our local EBGames. I plan on replaying a good portion of the game this weekend and into next week to determine how great the differences are. In the meanwhile, we will add an editor's note to the review indicating that we are investigating possible differences between the discs provided to us by Microsoft and the final retail version.
