V8 Arcade fails first certification attempt, trys again
Posted on their official blog, Isopod Labs has informed the V8 Arcade fanboy masses that the release date wait will be a bit longer than expected. Reason being, their first attempt at Microsoft certification ended in failure due to some techy "QNet library" stuff. But fret not, because Isopod has already fixed the problems, sent a new V8 Arcade build to Activision and Microsoft for a second certification sweep. And while you wait for the release, we advise taking Isopod's suggestion and downloading Castle Crashers. Long live the green knight!
V8 Arcade enters its final submission
After nearing completion for over three months now, development on Isopod Labs' Vigilante 8 Arcade is now finished as they just confirmed the final game submission has been sent to Microsoft. Though, if the Microsoft certification crew finds issues, V8 will have to be submitted again. But we have faith the process will go smooth. Like butta!Sadly, we still do not have a V8 Arcade release date, but we do know it will cost 800 Microsoft points, utilize DLC and come with PS1 vehicle unlocks. High fives all around for PS1 vehicle unlocks and all thirteen polygons each vehicle is comprised of.[Thanks, Reece]
V8 Arcade nears completion and we have screens
Today, with the help of tipster Alan, we came across freshly picked media and freshly picked news pertaining to recently announced XBLA game Vigilante 8 Arcade. No blemishes here, everything looks ripe for the picking.Over on V8 Arcade's official home, the Isopod Labs crew has been keeping a consistent stream of new media and updates flowing including a handful of screenshots which we've placed in our gallery below. Isopod also posted a little fanmail session where they confirmed that they're at a 9 on the universal 1 through 10 development scale of completion as the game should release sometime this Spring. Oh, and advice for Isopod Labs. Bring back the banned N64 V8 commercial, because we're suckers for cheezy bleeped out "holy sh*t!" moments.%Gallery-17045%[Thanks, Alan Thomas]
