Il n'existe pas encore de série à bas prix et pochette pourrie pour les jeux 360, donc tu peux y aller. Je te conseille PGR3 si tu comptes prendre le Live, je pense qu'en dehors de Battlefield 2 on y jouera à l'automne pendant les sessions du samedi et du mercredi car de nouveaux modes de jeu sont sortis qu'on a pas encore essayé.

D'autre part le jeu est moins porté sur la trajectance au micron près que le 2, plutôt sur glissade vu que les voitures sont quasiment toutes des propulsions. A mon avis tu devrais apprécier.

Devinez quel sera le premier jeu "Budget" à venir sur X360 (sortie prévue fin août)? Un indice, ça vient du premier éditeur mondial (dit comme ça ça flash!) soit EA (là tout de suite ça calme...).

Question con de quelqu'un qui n'y connait rien en programmation : Est ce que la possibilité de programmer sur 360 rendrait aussi possible la création de mods comme ça se fait déjà sur PC ?

It's starting to feel nicely like a game now .

(.......)
the initial levels *are* a bit Tempest 2000/3000-ish, because after all the new game is intended to be a kind of sequel to that series. So it begins in a way that has continuity with those.

It's intended that it'll be a progression, though, rather than just another iteration of TxK, and so as you move through the game it'll expand from shooting on one edge of a surface to shooting on two edges (a bit like in Laser Zone) and eventually 4 edges, in a manner somewhat akin to Hell Gate. At each of these transition points the controls will naturally change somewhat (but still keep some kind of coherence throughout), as will the viewpoint and the natur of the surface upon which you move.

It is possible that some later levels will see you moving within the surface rather than just at the edge, but if that happens you won't be shooting in a Robotron style - I want to avoid that because so many existing XBLA games are that way.

There will of course be more enemy styles than in T2K/T3K, according to the way the game will evolve, but the basic structure of gameplay will be along the lines of TxK and Llamatron - bossless, continuous fast spectacular action, lots of powerups, lots of levels.

Since the whole game is rendered in terms of Neon effects, each part of the game can be rendered and treated in a Neon stack and combined in loads of differemt ways, and can run on top of a full Neon effect (the Neon engine has been expanded to 16 stacks to allow for this) each level will itself be tuned and polished to effectively be a unique Neon effect in its own right, so they will all look different and some of them I can make look pretty wild .

In fact making the game "work" as Neon effects has been one of the hardest things. The requirement for something to work well in Neon means that the way in which things are rendered is quite different from the "normal" way you do a game.

I intend to support the camera and, provided there is room, make as unlockables some cam-enabled Neon effects for the user to have even though MS decided in the end not to upgrade neon to support the cam. So by playing the game x360 users will at least get the chance to Bez .

We intend for the game to be cheap as chips too. Probably 400 points. I want lots of people to be able to enjoy it, and to get those extra Neon effects out there.

(......)

Basically the game is predicated on the Neon engine, so anything we already do with Neon in terms of audioreaction is a given, we can hook it all up so that it responds to whatever you are playing on your ox360 when you play.

In addition we have certain game-originated trigger envelopes that allow us to hook stuff into how you are actually playing.

We hope that the balance between these two groups of external stimuli, and the manner in which they will be hooked up to the parameters that generate the environment, will be satisfying.

(......)

the "perceived value" thing (if it's cheap it must be shoddy) is specious in this case because it's on XBLA. You download the demo before you pay so you get to see if it's any good or not before you cough up the points. I give you five levels of shooty, zoom you down a trippy tunnel of promise, then *pop*, you're left staring at a "please buy now" screen. Being 400 points means that at that point you're very likely to just go "Hell yeah, gimme more!" and press the button.

Also people are quite likely to have 400 points lying round after other XBLA purchases. Make it more and they will likely have to buy more points before they can get the game - making them do more before they can have it all is a bit of a disincentive and you might lose sales that way.
