Unannounced XBLA games and screenshots leaked, including Crazy Taxi and Quake Arena.

[MasterChief]

The following unreleased Xbox Live Arcade games appear to be going around the internet at the moment:

Metal_Slug_XX_XBLA_XBOX360-JSteam
NEOGEO_BATTLE_COLISEUM_XBLA_XBOX360-JSteam
RAYSTORM_HD_XBLA_XBOX360-JSteam
Sonic_Adventure_XBLA_XBOX360-JSteam
The_King_of_Fighters_2002_Unlimited_Match_XBLA_XBOX360-JSteam

Im sure we all knew about Sonic Adventure and Sonic 4, hopefully the leaks of those arcade games might encourage Microsoft to release some of the titles. It would make a nice change from the flood of poor games that have been released on Xbox Live arcade recently.

Screenshots of more yet to be announced games have also been leaked including Quake Arena Arcade and Crazy Taxi. I also have it on good authority that Doom 2 will be released on XBLA in the future, which has now been confirmed by the new screenshots wasabifights posted up today (19th April).

What are you looking forward to? For me its quite a few games:

Quake
Metal Slug XX
Sonic Adventure
Sonic 4
Raystorm HD

Enjoy the screenshots, and lets hope some of those titles get released soon!

Sonic 4, Sonic Adventure, and Quake Arena Arcade are the games that will be in my collection! And honestly, the last XBLA game I bought was Shadow Complex.

Ive been saving my MS points for Sonic 4, its also great to hear Metal Slug XX will be released on the Xbox 360. I was thinking about getting that on the PSP but ill just hold off and wait for the 360 release.

Sonic Adventure has 250 achievement points? maybe the extra 50 points are added with the Sonic Adventure Extend Package - Upgrade to Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut DLC.

Was there any more Halo Reach stuff apart from that one picture?

Have you seen the stuff in this thread? https://digiex.net/gaming-section/console-gaming/4093-pre-beta-halo-reach-screenshots-video.html

I don't think much else has leaked apart from that, a few nice screenshots all the same though.

Yeah, had seen that leak. Was hoping your source may have had some new material as the Reach image in your story is the first time I'd seen that new Reach related picture. Thanks anyway!

Really looking forward to the Quake Arcade, Sonic 4, and Metal Slug XX. Always loved the Metal Slug games and the older Quake games were very fun. Crazy Taxi was always a classic too. I'll have to save some MS Points for these.

More screenshots for you all

Oh and to not forget my not released screenshots of Doom 2 yet...well here

 

[InsaneNutter]

I see you posted Doom 2 screenshots and a screenshot with Earthworm Jim, how is Earthworm Jim if you have played it?

 

[MasterChief]

More screenshots for you all

Its great you have stuff like this, I would love to see more screenies or some videos if you can create any.

 

[wasabifights2]

I may leak more screenshots possibly, and earthworm jim is a wacky game, idk why I never played this when I was younger idk if it has a story or not but it's mostly all random gameplay.

 

[MasterChief]

Are you a developer? I dont think so much content has ever been leaked from PartnerNet before.

 

[Crash]

I found a video of gameplay Sonic Adventure on Xbox 360 on youtube =D

 

[Safinn]

Used to love playing Crazy Taxi back on the PS2. May have to get that one when it's out.

 

[InsaneNutter]

Looks like Sega of America were not happy with that video, but yes I had seen it. Looks exactly the same as the GameCube port just with added achievements.

If you are reading this Sega, your fans want Sonic Adventure 2: Battle on the 360, the best 3D Sonic game you did!

Excuse the big text, Sega might see that who knows *-)

 

[Trebor]

Sega listening to their fans? What an absurd notion InsaneNutter. Why ever would they do such a thing? \SARCASM! I'd probably actually buy Sonic Adventure 2 having borrowed it from you, completing it and then never actually buying it for myself. Can't exactly say for sure why I didn't so giving Sega some money would make me happier in that regard.

 

[InsaneNutter]

In all seriousness after seeing how good my GameCube copy plays on the Dolphin emulator and how great it looks I would pay full retail price again to have a good port of the game on the 360

I know it will never happen but as this thread is getting a lot of attention maybe some one from Sega will see this?

At the moment, I'm playing Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) on my Xbox 360 again. And I found out that by simply skipping the annoying town missions, it's actually fun to finish this game while enjoying most Act missions just as much as Sonic Adventure's. No wonder the game was intended to be Sonic Adventure 3. I'm at the final boss now!

Are some town missions not mandatory?

Ill be honest i never bothered to finish the game, i remember getting really annoyed having to walk around the town doing pointless tasks when i just wanted to play the game.

Basically, all town missions are optional unless you're automatically 'warped' into one after finishing an ACT mission. Luckely, those are few and they're all very easy. If you're nearing the end of an episode, there are also 3 town missions disguised as 'trials' that you're forced into, but those aren't hard or bothersome in any way. The only thing you'd miss are the achievements.

When I got this game cheap second hand (without manual) back in 2008, I began finishing Sonic's episode while playing all town missions I saw. I became frustrated too, and gave up on the crap after finally finishing that episode.

Last few weeks I began playing the game again and found out that by just running from ACT to ACT while skipping all talks and town missions, you can still have some fun out of this game. It's kinda unpolished and glitched at some parts, but the story and gameplay is pretty much alright.

I recently finished the game, and now I'll just get some of the easy achievements, then leave the game behind forever.
