Crackdown: I have to agree with you about that, I cannot stop playing it.
Apparently the developer is going to allow us to turn the 2xsai filter off, that's a relief. I never tried the versus mode with eight players, or even four, but it looked like it wasn't very thought through in the level design department. I loved that the game had so much going on though, and that's probably why it wasn't four player. Four characters jumping around on three plains with dozens of enemies while casting huge magic spells would have been impossible to play. I think somebody already mention that the game already slowed down in really busy scenes. Not saying its the best game on the Saturn or anything like that, but I played the hell out of it, and it is a very good beat-em up.Quote:

The game itself is good, with nice music, but not as fun as SOR 2, due to the lack of combos. Though, I played it hundred of times.
Here is a video of the new version: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/acti...os%3Btitle%3B1
And I might ask why are all of these games being ported on the 360 and not the PSN too? Now somebody correct me if im wrong but while the PS3 is last in sales i'm sure they are outselling the 360 on Japan by a good margin http://www.next-gen.biz/news/japan-l...sales-revealed they are so why on earth is Sega porting so much to 360 and not the PSN? They didnt do this wit Sega Ages during the last gaming war.
Business is business, XBLA probably turns more of a profit than PSN. With Bangai-O, Ikaruga, an announced Radiant Silvergun... Why would you assume yet another Treasure game is being ported by Sega and they're biased about it?Quote:

...rethorical
I'm talkin about in Japan. I know in the states XBL is supreme but i'm not so sure it is outperforming the PSN in Japan were there are like 4 PS3 to 1 360 ratio in Japan.Quote:

I don't want to sound funny or anything, but do you really think Treasure (or SEGA, or any Japanese videogame company for that matter) are that obsessed with navel-gazing that they wouldn't want to develop for anything that's 'not doing well' in Japan, yet is 'doing well' elsewhere on the planet?Quote:

Somebody get at me when Capcom finally gives us AvP and a 4 player D&D. Now that is the best Saturn beat em up by far. Hell it's the best console beat em up IMO.
This isn't ported by Treasure nor Sega of Japan. Just look at the fonts or the GUI or the filters or the backgrounds. This looks more like a hack than a remake / port.
