Title: The Marketplace Thread
Description: Updates and such...
Mills McDougle - August 3, 2006 02:47 AM (GMT)
OK, why not? There're enough 360 owners here. I think this is a good thread to start.
OK! Let's get this going:
The Saint's Row demo came out recently. Who all thought this game was gonna be bad? Because it's actually a lot better than expected. It plays almost just like San Andreas, but it's not so bad. bsu's type of game.
Also, the Dead Rising demo is supposed to hit the Marketplace this week. Gory as all hell...I heard it was banned from Germany as well. This, I feel, is single-handedly one of the games that's starting to showcase our favorite Circle Box.

They also have an Extended TV spot commercial out, as well as a bunch of "Webisodes" that have been showcasing some of the game's cutscenes. Also bsu's type of game.
This game deserves every 360 owner's money, IMO.

EDIT: This phone is SO a Verizon.
bsu - August 3, 2006 06:09 AM (GMT)
^ Graphics could be better... And Verizon doesn't make phones. They are just the service providers. Noob. That phone is totally made by LG.
I can't wait for Dead Rising, it's going to be a whole wreck of FUN. Saint's Row looks great too.

NOT CORRECT ME, MATE!?

That's what I meant. >:-(
DOWNLOAD THE SAINT'S ROW DEMO. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR AVATAR LOOK JUST LIKE YOU, YOU CRAZY KOREAN, YOU.
EDIT: What could be better with Dead Rising's graphics?
bsu - August 3, 2006 06:40 AM (GMT)
Image is broken you corn paste. It's cause you are hotlinking!!
Whore please, I'm like a backwards oreo. White on the outside, black on the inside. I'm going to download it tommorow, it's going to be a ton of fun.
Looks too much like a playstation game.
janejana - August 3, 2006 11:53 PM (GMT)
i still don't have my 360 yet.
T_____________________T
bsu - August 4, 2006 12:14 AM (GMT)
I am 68% done with downloading Ninety-Nine DAYS (HAHAHAHAHA IM SO FUNNI). I will finish it tommorow.
I was about to download Saint's Row until I found out there were white and asian people in it.....
Mills McDougle - August 4, 2006 04:33 PM (GMT)
Dead Rising demo is hot, fools!
Dan - August 4, 2006 04:37 PM (GMT)
I am buying that game, its fun, great, many weopons, kinda short but im buying the game. Dead rising is fun.
Mills McDougle - August 4, 2006 06:15 PM (GMT)
Do you get anything if you reserve it?
bsu - August 4, 2006 07:40 PM (GMT)
99 Days is GREAT!

I played like 30 seconds of it but it was still cool. The characters are real neat too. This definetly owns DW series. Phatagram > Koei.
I didn't know Dead Rising demo was on the market! I started downloading it but missed my own internet so I'll get it later. Rate was crawling anyhow.
Leifang12 - August 4, 2006 09:41 PM (GMT)
I would never waist one minute of my time on a shooting game :rofl: ... hate it :thumbdown:
bsu - August 4, 2006 09:50 PM (GMT)
Dead Rising was SO MUCH FUN. I killed a lot of zombies with CDs, that was a good time. Cash register machine to the face, bench to the body, axe to the head or the good ol' shotgun... just my kind of game!
Dan - August 4, 2006 10:31 PM (GMT)
I love the cleaver and the Katana!
Mills McDougle - August 21, 2006 12:54 AM (GMT)
Hey, I haven't been on Live in a while. Anything new?
Mills McDougle - August 24, 2006 04:11 AM (GMT)
Not sure how old this is, but the GRAW Multiplayer demo's online. Sweet.
Also, everyone needs to check out the Bomberman Zero trailer...if they're a fan of the gameplay formula, that is. It's lost it's art style completely, but who cares, though, really? It's freaking Bomberman!
I can't wait until this hits the States. DoAK tournies FTW! :D
Mills McDougle - August 26, 2006 09:30 PM (GMT)
Just Cause demo online.
I don't like it...
Mills McDougle - September 20, 2006 04:11 AM (GMT)
Hey, updates.
Dead Rising's got some nice goods online that I didn't notice. A lot of keys that you can download that opens the lockers in the Security Room.
Also, Marketplace is gonna see more bliss starting tomorrow. We're gonna be seeing extreme updates from TGS. Then on the 27th, X06 is gonna spoil us some more.
Keep Xbox Live up and running up until next week, peeps; you aren't gonna miss any of this. Maybe we'll get something as good as Lost Planet as an E3 exclusive. PS DOAX DOESN'T COUNT FOR SOMETHING AS GOOD AS LOST PLANET AS AN E3 EXCLUSIVE. Sorry fanboys. Though I'll say that I'm rather excited to see how they improve the game myself.
And can we sticky this? It's, like, the most important thread floating around these parts anymore anyway. haha

Mills McDougle - September 20, 2006 05:49 PM (GMT)
Ah, thank you so much, sir. :D
Mills McDougle - September 26, 2006 07:15 PM (GMT)
OK, stuff just got pretty good for us.
FEAR just hit the Marketplace, guys(I've been playing the demo for about a month now thanks to OXM, harhar) It doesn't seem to look as good/control as good as the PC version, but the difference is only obvious if you're nitpicky.
Lego Star Wars 2 also has a new demo on the Marketplace.
And then there's Fuzion Frenzy 2, which I have yet to try.
Oh yeah, and then Chromehounds...dunno if the demo is new to US 360 owners.
There're also some new trailers and crap on there. There was one in particular that I wanted to see, but I can't remember what it was. >_<
But, whatever. You guys should really check out the new content and see if there's anything you like from it. I'll check out the Japanese Marketplace once I get the chance.
Dark kunoichi - September 26, 2006 08:20 PM (GMT)
I've played FEAR demo, and it's really cool, but veeeeery short -.-
Mills McDougle - September 26, 2006 08:53 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I know, it's frustrating as hell... >_<
Ah well, though, I guess it'll have to tide me over until the game comes out. I never got to finish the PC version all the way through, so I can't wait to play it on the Box.
Mills McDougle - September 27, 2006 09:39 PM (GMT)
WE HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR, PEOPLES!
OK, the Sonic The Hedgehog demo just hit the Marketplace this morning. It's only like 300MB so you don't have excuse for not getting it.
ALSO, id just announced THIS MORNING that DOOM's gonna be on the Marketplace, AND IT'S THERE RIGHT NOW. 800 Points for the full game. I can't wait to get the full copy of it. :D
ALSO, did you guys know that Ensemble(the creators of Ages of Empires) are making a X360 exclusive RTS set in the Halo universe!? I just saw the trailer, and it looks fantastic. What I saw was only CG, but they're releasing a high-def trailer on the Marketplace sometime soon.

Yeah, I've seen it and it's really great ^__^ I liked it so much ^^

Yep, I also liked it a lot. It's called "Halo Wars" and the graphics look amazing. Definitely a game I'm looking forward to.
Mills McDougle - September 28, 2006 09:27 PM (GMT)
You guys DO know it's CG, right?

Yeah but then again, I'm always anticipating any Halo game.
Xabinator - October 14, 2006 02:57 AM (GMT)
I was looking through the marketplace and came across the Lost Planet: Extreme Condition trailer. I thought since the demo seemed really good (the single player one), so I thought I'd check out what else is going to be done in the game. I was pretty impressed by the graphics and the action looked amazing! It's coming out in the first quarter of 2007 (Christmas season 2006 for those in Japan because it was produced by Capcom... I think). The multiplayer demo for it will be coming out sometime soon, which I'm really looking forward to. So if you are a shooter fan, I'd recommend checking out the trailer or playing the demo, it looks like a very promosing game.
Mills McDougle - October 14, 2006 04:30 AM (GMT)
Sweetness! I'm surprised I haven't got that...
Oh! Phantasy Star Universe beta test it online, peeps. Get it NOW if you're a fan of the game...because it may not be online that much longer...
Xabinator - October 14, 2006 12:32 PM (GMT)
I've heard of the game, but never actually played it. It's something different so I think I'll try it out *Downlading*.
EDIT: It ends on Wednesday, October 18th at 12:00A.M. :hmm:
Mills McDougle - October 21, 2006 07:06 AM (GMT)
LUMINES HIT THE MARKETPLACE, PEEPS!
This bad boy is hot; if you like puzzle games, you'll probably be hooked instantly.
Also, a TGS trailer of DoAX2 is fresh on the Marketplace as well.
I think I may've missed something else, as well...
Oh, haha NFS Carbon's been out for some weeks now. XD Heh, whoops.
*goes to play Lumines*
Mills McDougle - October 21, 2006 04:11 PM (GMT)
Hey, Tony Hawk Project 8 demo hit live last night, if what my sources say is true. This game is supposed to bring the series back to the front line with innovation, so make sure you check this one out.
Dan - October 21, 2006 07:34 PM (GMT)
ULTMATE MORTAL KOMBAT 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL MUST BUY IT!
lumi looks awesome but pricey(21 plus dollars including all packs)
Project 8 looks cool, plays smooth and the new nail the trick system really is awesome.
Mills McDougle - October 24, 2006 05:25 AM (GMT)

Mills McDougle - October 31, 2006 12:07 AM (GMT)
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6160678.htmlDashboard updates tomorrow, peeps.
The stars of the show are 1080p support and being able to stream video from your PC. Now you guys have another excuse to watch pr0n on your 360 besides DoAX. haha
Have fun, n00bs.
Mills McDougle - November 1, 2006 12:20 AM (GMT)
Hey, guys, there've been reports that this update has been known to crash people's systems fairly badly. It seems rare, and it's mostly been happening to people with modded Xboxes. Though, on occasion, it's bricked some unmodded users as well.
Though it's a really rare happening, proceed with caution. Keep in mind that this is a required update(I think...). It's possible to reverse anything if it happens, but I don't know how.
I didn't have problems with it, and the vast majority of feedback I've seen haven't had a problem with it either.

Mills McDougle - November 21, 2006 04:09 PM (GMT)
I should've updated this a while ago. :rofl:
OK, things worth mentioning off the top of the head:
-Lost Planet demo soon, but check the webisodes out as the anticipation shoots up. Pay close attention to the ends of the trailers, and you may be surprised at what you find.
-Rainbow Six MP demo! Nuff said.
-Cars Demo
....I'll have to look at it some more.
