Portal: Still Alive Explained

There is much confusion over what exactly Portal: Still Alive, an upcoming Xbox Live Arcade release of Valve's excellent platformer-thing, is. After all, it was announced amazingly vaguely during Microsoft's E3 press conference, and there was little followup. So Remowned asked Valve's Doug Lombardi, and he explained it to them.

That's pretty slack I reckon :/

I've completed the Flash Version and the Free Map Pack version. Definitely great, but Microsoft touted this as some great new developed levels exclusively for the Xbox 360, which it isn't.

I want to see the price on this, then we can discuss the situation further

TheMurderer5773d ago

Microsoft didn't so much brag about their new full portal game, as much as they announced that Still Alive exists, and that it's exclusive to the 360. If it tries to come on for more than 800 MS points, then no thank you. :(

How can they justify charging console gamers for content that was free on the PC?

TheIneffableBob5772d ago

It's Microsoft.
They do things like this.

QueefyB5773d ago

wow another microsoft ripoff when will they end

QueefyB5773d ago

once portal 2 is announced as a playstation 3 exclusive that is when gamers will be able to experience true hi definition graphics thanks to the powerful cell broadband engine and rsx

TheMurderer5772d ago

"True High Definition"? High def is high def. 1080p is 1080p, my friend. Sure, the Cell processor is a BEAST, but the limited RAM on the PS3 holds it back (RSX isn't that big of a deal, either). The 360's processor is less powerful, sure, but more RAM means it's capable of handling a bigger load.

Also! Haven't you noticed that Valve doesn't really like the PS3? Left4Dead is going only to the 360 and PC. Valve worked on the 360 and PC versions of the Orange Box, and had some other (unproven) company work on the PS3 version, which came out with many many many problems. It's just the way things are.

QueefyB5773d ago

i think they will make the announcement at leipzig

caffman5773d ago

that the best orange box console experience was on PS3.

oh wait

thats because it wasn't

TheMurderer5772d ago

And on what do you base this glorious knowledge?

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for June 2019 any good?

Carlos writes: "The month of June has finally arrived and whilst most of us are waiting in anticipation for the exciting announcements that are likely to come out of E3, there are still plenty of gaming releases to keep focused on beforehand. For those with an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, a new month means new games - new games you won’t be spending a single penny extra on thanks to the fantastic Xbox Live Games With Gold scheme. So without further ado, let’s jump into the Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles you’ll be able to download free of charge throughout June and find out just how good or bad they are."

Portal is obviously a great game, and personally I always enjoyed NHL games ever since NHLPA on thr Megadrive, despite not caring about the sport itself.

Don't know the other games, so can't comment on those ...

So yeah, pretty good month for me personally.

Five Must Play Xbox Live Arcade Games [Xbox Live Gamer Hub]

Xbox Live Gamer Hub takes a look at five must play games on Xbox Live Arcade.

''The classic shoot em up made its appearance on Xbox Live Arcade back in April 2008 and has since been thrilling gamers with its intense shooting action and challenging gameplay. Tasking players with switching their shield colour (red to blue and vice versa) to absorb bullets to survive a level was a fantastic twist on the genre and offered a decent mix between risk and reward. The battles get crazier and crazier as the game continues as does the difficulty.''
