Aren't all those games clones?

flashburn

But, but but... they're Indie!

flashburn

Can't say I'm too excited about too many of those after seeing the trailer. Pretty much just Crossfire 2, only because I never bought the first one. One of the Gauntlet clones looked like it might be fun too.

starman9000

No, they are all innovative games that would be criminal to charge less than $5 for.

flashburn

Duplicate accounts is a bannable offense Pixy!

superfro

Did you play the original Soulcaster?

flashburn

Nope, the one I was talking about is apparently "Epic Dungeon".

superfro

Gotcha.

I'm just glad that some people are finally taking a stance against these motivated Indie devs. Those guys have had it easy putting out their $1-$3 games for far too long. You folks are heroes.

flashburn

To who are you referring to? I don't think anyone is "against" them. A fun game is a fun game. I just haven't found too many XBLIG's yet that I've enjoyed.

orangecrush

Buy it. It is only a dollar. And if you want a Gauntlet type game, buy Inferno. It is only a dollar too.

They are both very good and easily worth $1.

flashburn

I have Inferno. It might only be a dollar, but with Crossfire 2 coming out in a few weeks (or less), I don't see the point in buying it now.

Decker

But won't you be confused about the story if you never played the first one???

BTW: Do we still not know what's coming to XBLA this week? I'd assume ilomilo, since we all know it's ready, but I still haven't heard anything.

Well you will all be happy to know that radiangames announced last night that Inferno 2 is coming, it's just been delayed until next year, is going to drop the "radiangames" moniker, be the first of his "Premium line", and cost (likely) $5. He does seem to think it'll be rather ambitious.

Matt

"Unbound Saga" for 800 points, whatever the fuck that is.

starman9000

Why is he dropping radiangames?


It'll be interesting to see what he can do by really dedicating to one game.

Groucho

At $5 will it still be an Indie title, or a full-fledged XBLA release?

flashburn

Neat, I like how much of a Gauntlet clone the original is. Although I'm not sure I dig the graphical style for a game that costs that much. It seems a bit too minimalist to be considered "premium". Just my opinion of course, and I'm sure many of you will disagree.

pinata242

My guess is to shed the $1 precedent.

Indie, as far as I know.

Here's the blog post he tweetered last night: http://radiangames.com/?p=440

orangecrush

I'll drop 400 points day one just as a thank you for all the good games he has sold for $1.

Decker

Oh. I have that game on the PSP. It's a side-scrolling beat em up very reminiscent of Comix Zone. It kinda sucked as I recall. This must be an HD port.

starman9000

It would be fantastic if he could make Inferno 2 MP.

I think if he can bundle his games when he goes multi-platform he could make some decent dough.

superfro

Lucky you. It's the first one to hit the Marketplace. Hope it's enjoyable!

Thanks, downloading the demo.

flashburn

Sweet! I'll give it a try tonight or tomorrow.
