XBLA Release Calendar Thread (Updated 04/01/2012)

[Family Fry]

Added Zombie Driver HD and I Am Alive game sites and trailers, should be out by end of year.
Fez delayed until 2012.
Removed The Witness as Johnathon Blow is an arse (looking like PC only, will still buy it)

[EvilBoris]

Damn you FEZ!
Yay for I am alive

[Family Fry]

Fez was an inevitable delay, just kept wishing it would appear. I'm thinking a few others on the list will be cropped to 2012.
Have you watched the I am Alive trailer? Sets a whole new standard for the use of grey in-game, then again that is the tone wastelands .
(actually it doesn't look too bad)

[EvilBoris]

Muchos Grey!
Makes me wonder whether it's going to be dead on arrival, it seems to of been in dev hell now we have what looks like a retail title on XBLA.

[Family Fry]

Have had a tidy up again.
Basically the first post will be the schedule for XBLA as far ahead as possible, with game sites and game trailers linked to.
Second post will be a kind of whats out now/this week with, Digital Box Art fully linked to marketplace, price, link to game site on name, proper on-screen trailer.
If I can be bothered I may write a short summary of what the game is about as well, generally trailers do that quite well though so we shall see.
Enjoy.

Thumbs up for the new formatting.

[Family Fry]

Cheers Bort, trying my best to keep ontop of it.
Looks like we have 2 this week. Dungeon Defenders is set in stone and price is more than likely gonna be 1200, where as the second game is kind of a mystery. Zombie Apocalypse 2 Never Die Alone has appeard on xbox.com so I am putting that up provisionally as this weeks release, if it's anything like ZA1 1200 points, it was due for an October release so either this week or crammed beside Daytona and War of the Worlds for next week.
In other news Trials Evolution has been announced for 2012, new videos of the game are around and it looks incredible, fantastic outside stuff it really does look lovely.
Wrecked is in QA testing with a view to it going into final submission to Microsoft around about now, fingers crossed may get a November slot.
Fusion: Genesis was announced, sci-fi armada/geo wars game by some ex-rare staff, added game site and trailer.

[Sane]

2012 for Trials? Somehow I thought it would be released in november .

[Family Fry]

Yeah it is 2012 now, extra time will do it well though already looks awesome.
Looks like next week is the day for Zombie Apocalypse Never Die Alone, 800 points alongside Daytona USA and War of the Worlds.
This week Bejeweled 3 joins Dungeon Defenders, both 1200 points.

[Family Fry]

Looks like the crazy fps/puzzle chain/combo em up Xotic is this weeks XBLA release, priced at 800 points.
As Novemeber is fading away so is the schedule, Trine 2 and Capsized are about the only 2 I know were confirmed for December, others in the 2011 list will definitely go into 2012, when they say winter 2011 that also takes us into early 2012 too.
Still no Iron Brigade (Trenched) action for EU. Wrecked has gone quiet, was in final certification so either that came back with issues OR it has been pegged a date and not announced yet. Double Dragon 2 was mentioned on Xbox Live Marketplace video as being released 2 weeks ago.....still nothing.
This certainly isn't the best time for the download format, when retail is being hammerd with quality releases.

I heard someone say that Trenched was not unlike Dungeon Defenders, so my interest for that has evaporated entirely.

[Family Fry]

See I just took a look at Dungeon Defender and thought it was a co-op WoW rip off grindfeast, with hp+ crap flying outta peoples heads everytime you smash b or x button, could be wrong though
I thought Trenches was more tower defends style of play? Double Fibe are confident certification will go through so hopefully next wed or week after for release.
Wrecked has passed PSN cert but is stuck in MS cert, 505 want to publish on both formats at same time so we shall see.

[Mayhem]

Dungeon Defender IS a tower defence game, I played the demo and considered it was not for me, I don't really like that type of game.

[Family Fry]

Ahhh I see, maybe I should have tried the demo
Looks like Iron Brigade has been announced for November 30th, so will be finally able to take a look at it.

[Family Fry]

One main game this week and that's Who Wants To Be A Millonaire: Special Editions, game for (800MSP)
Launches alongside to 2 DLC packs, Who Wants to be a Movie Millionair (240 MSP) and South Park Edition (400 MSP)
Next week we have Voltron and Iron Brigade.
