The funniest thing is, Microsoft was going to publish this at first but for some reason they later on decided to scrape it off their publishing "list", and look at it now? Smile
I bet Microsoft regret their decision now Wink

Well that of course depends entirely on how well the game sells, not on the word of gamespot.

Anyway, i can't wait to try it. I've been looking forward to it for 2 years or so now and thankfully i'll be able to try it out first hand in 30 mins. Razz

The word of gamespot? It's getting good scores from basicly every review site/magazine out there, so it's hardly only gamespot dude.
Most people out there buy games based on scores, so it's safe to say that it will sell.

Microsoft didn't believe in this game but they obviously thought wrong and that makes me smile. Smile

why is there 2 threads?? Shocked for same game.

As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.

The release group had this for over a month before the retail date? I guess it's a game that deserves to sell well so I dont' mind. Gonna have to check this out.

No small videos here, everything seems pretty polished. And it's signed as well.

Except you're wrong. Most people dont buy games based on scores, Enter the Matrix will tell you that. People buy games based on hype and advertising usually.

It just so happens that a lot of great games get hyped by the media, Psychonauts is not one of them. It will have a hard time selling. Microsoft was probably right to drop it considering it took 4 years to make and the development costs will most likely be more than how much it sells despite being a fantastic game.

I'm not wrong. People read magazines and internet reviews and see the scores and think "wow, look at the score, must be a great game" and then they buy it. Read some on the gamefaqs forum and you will see how much review scores mather to the average person Wink

Enter the matrix didn't sell because of hype or advertise, it sold because people knew about the movie and therefor bought it.

you are all right. a game doesnt sell on good reviews alone. remember beyond good and evil for example?

this game didn't take four years to develop... all the greedy publishers just aren't willing to take any risks, they like sequals and franchises. Its hard to release a game w/o a publisher

I had a problem getting this one to work at first. 10 seconds after attempting to start the game, it would just go back to the Evox dashboard. I have had this in the past with a few games and fixed it by disabling the in game reset options. To sort this problem I had to enable the in game reset! Just an option to anyone else having this problem Smile

May the NFOrce be with you always.

I had the same problem but for me it was down to my enigmah video settings. Changing from PAL to NTSC did the trick. A bit strange though, haven't had that problem with tons of other NTSC releases in the past few months, they all work flawlessly using PAL video setting.

My Enigmah video changer was already set to PAL and the only game I have had to change it to NTSC for is Super Monkey Ball Deluxe.
