@Calhoun: That's on Gametap, I should try it out sometime...

@Grumpz®:

Yeah when i heard about xbla banjo games thats the first thing i thought. We know were not going to get donkey kong country's (sheds tear) but hopefuly we can get blast corpse on xbla.

Im surprised theres still no bust a move too...would love a classic version on xbla/psn (bust a move 2 or 4, saturn/ps1 versions). Unless they expect to keep churning the same game out on disc at full price with each console :P Fantavision on psn would be awesome too.

I loved the original PS1 game as well

any word on what online features it has??

Pojomofo

multilayer = multiplayer damn spellchecker on here.
@laser beams: I yearn for the day of a PSN Twisted Metal release with proper multiplayer.

zombie16thc

This game = insane amounts of fun and multilayer brings it to 11.
@Foxstar Sixtail: I'76 was the shit, especially with the Pulp Fiction similarities.

zombie16thc

i remember playing this game to death with my buddies nearly 10 years ago. we loved it so much- but we all realized after a few months that it was, in fact: inferior (excepting the fantastic-at-the-time graphics!) to our old favorite: Twisted Metal 2. which lead to another 4 month binge of Twisted Metal 2 in my parents' living room :)

would still love to see this on PSN someday, and hopefully they'll add online play!

laser beams

@Calhoun:It's the follow up to '76 tho.

Foxstar Sixtail

I'm suddenly feeling nostalgic over the PSX releases of V8 and its sequel. Man... I miss those games. I might go ahead and re-purchase them off of Amazon or something.

Altersparck

Live + Revamped Vigilante 8? I can now die a happy man. Hell I'd die happy if I'd ironically kicked the bucket in a car crash.

Rauzaruke

@Foxstar Sixtail: I know... I just like to hope.
@londonlad: I would buy that in an instant.

Grumpz®

@Day Man: ...AWESOME.

If this isn't 1600 Microsoft Spacebucks, this is a first-day buy. Just give me the hippie van.

Crippl3

@Calhoun: No Kidding

I was all excited thinking it was Interstate 76' (my memory has been a bit hazy lately)

Randomcitizenx

@Grumpz®:Blast Corps is likely in trademark hell, being a Rare project and all.

Foxstar Sixtail

Power Stone next.

londonlad

I already forgot about this remake. But I've split screened this game to dust back in the good ol' PS1 days, so will definitely buy this one!

Graywing

Twisted Metal > all however I will still buy this game day 1 to feed my car/rocket hunger.

Murderdolls

@LittleBigPlaneteer: That is true. The list is to long to list. lol list.

The bigger the lie, the more they beleive!

OMG! Best car demolition game ever. The controls were perfect.

LightStriker

Eight of the original PS1 car models will be unlockables.

Day Man

@Grumpz®: I loved Blast Corps!

archibaldleech

@The bigger the lie, the more they beleive!:

It'll probably show up on PSN one day. Not the version that XBLA is getting since they're revamping it and adding multiplayer. PSN will likely get the original. There's many games that are much higher on the priority list though as far as PS1 classics go.

LittleBigPlaneteer

i loved the original game, i can see all my friends playing this over live

Ukuma

AWESOME! Was a huge fan of the original. It was like Twisted Metal with daylight!

KaneTaker

Another arcade must buy. :)

Moopman133

Oh heeelll yes. I can't wait to discover all those little map secrets. And Hover-car power ups, don't forget those.

LittleBlueWindow

I loved this game. Next bring on Blast corps

Grumpz®

Awesome.

Ben404

That's all well and good, but it's no Interstate '76.

Calhoun

Oh man I loved this game back in the day. The best Twisted Metal ripoff ever! I really really really try to never buy XBLA games but this is a true PS1 classic. Why the hell isn't going to PSN?

The bigger the lie, the more they beleive!

this is a guaranteed purchase for me. This game was so much better and prettier than Twisted Metal(PS1). I played the N64 version with resolution boost from the expansion pack and was floored by the frame rate, colors, and destructible environments. With live multiplayer this game will be awesome.

Ceezsa

It's about goddamn time. I never played the originals, but the concept and promise have definitely captured my interest. Push that shit through QC faster!

Does Not Equal

What we truly need is some Carmageddon.

thegreatseal

Never had a chance to play this on the PSX, now the time has come ^^

entres

I have been waiting for this for some time now. I will most definitely purchase this when its released.

Stevetrop

i played this on the n64 and it fking rocked. sure singleplayer got boring, but these kinds of games are meant to be played multiplayer.

maraxusofk

This is so awesome, I played the sh*t out of the original on the PS1.

Next: Power Stone 2 on XBLA, It would make my life complete.

Horusz

@Calhoun: Too true.
My question is "why would you put guns on cars?"

Anemone

AWESOME! Let's hope it will have LIVE multiplayer

Lanhoj

When this is released, RPharazonius will be happy soul.

RPharazonius

You mean, Interstate 76, featuring airplanes with pentagonal wheels? LOL

At any rate, I enjoyed Vigilante 8 more than Twisted Metal, somehow, so I'm stoked! Must go faster, must go faster, go go GO GO GO!

HT Tenrai

For a while there I was wondering if this game was ever gonna come out. I played the first Vigilante 8 on the N64, looking forward to this one.

MeleeKirby

I always loved v8 better than twisted metal. I use to destroy on that game on my dreamcast.

snakepliskin

I concur. Interstate 76 rules. I wish Activision would bring it back...

pupaboy3

*goes to dust off his copy of interstate 76*

GOD

i definitely preferred twisted metal, but vigilante 8 filled a void, and provided a more realistic car-combat experience that was really awesome back in the day.

i wont lie, my PSN is definitely jealous of the the XBLA getting this game. damn!

joeloliol

I wonder how many points it will cost.

The fact that it's online w/ 8 players is pretty cool, but again w/ so many other games out it can't find #1 priority in occupying my game time. So it will have to be priced reasonably.

string_theory

Please be 800 points, please be 800 points...

Netnavi

Man alive! I didn't know anything about this coming to arcade!

Back in the day, when "Car Combat" was an actual genre, Vigilante 8 came in 2nd only to Twisted Metal 2...but it was still an amazing game even with that.

Day 1 purchase, indeed.

Chromeo

if this hasnt been said before there are maps as pay-for dlc supposedly released day 1 as the game. that instant;y took it off the list for me. passing on the love.

MisterMcThursday

Time to take on as many Glenn 4x4s as possible with that schoolbus again.

...why am I doing this?

OddyKnocky

@thegreatseal: Carmageddon. My favourite car combat game.

Shinryoma

@Foxstar Sixtail: Technically it's a console-ization spin-off of the franchise. Simplified controls, focus on instant action, and no storyline to speak of. The follow-up to I'76 was the Nitro Pack, which contained some prequel-type story missions, and the proper sequel was Interstate '82, which was a fairly horrific aborted mess. The less said there the better...

@Crippl3: I recently tried reinstalling I'76, patched fully, but it does *not* play well with current PCs. Not sure why, but everything from the menu to the vehicle animation was messed up. Still, worth a shot.

@Anemone: My question is "why would you put guns on cars?"

I'm guessing Miyamoto never heard the sweet, distinctive grind of tires on gravelly asphalt, pulling out of a parking lot with Bullmark's patented funk playing in the background. But that's just a guess.

Calhoun

Oh hells yes. I spent a good chunk of time with V8 and V8: 2nd Offense back in the day, and I'm eager to return! Groovy!
