Vigilante 8 finally confirmed

Fri, 2008-02-15 01:52 — Tomacco

Of all the days to sleep in, this has to be the worst one...

 

Starting off today's news is 1up's report that Vigilante 8 has finally been confirmed.  After hearing about it first back in April of last year, it's good to finally hear that it's official.  To make up for making us wait, they have been nice enough to release the following screen shots.  According to their brand new site V8Arcade.com, these shots have not been altered in any way and it's what you can expect from the final game.

Color me impressed!

I could have sworn some

I could have sworn some place had this as a rumor or that it appeared on some rating site or something... I thought you guys had reported on it, but I can't seem to even find an old post on it. I guess I'm crazy.

In any case, this game was great and I can't wait to play it on XBLA. The 360 is really lacking in this genre to begin with, but a game like this on Live for like $10 would be amazing

never heard of this game
never heard of this game before but it looks a lot like Interstate '76 if anyone else is old enough to remember that PC gem. I'm getting this one as fast as I can.

oh and the developer did lie
oh and the developer did lie to us - those screenshots are VERY altered. First off they're much smaller than actual size, and they have some kind of fancy drop shadow effect around the edges. Im just bored.

Both I'76/82 were Activision
Both I'76/82 were Activision titles. I always felt like V8 was the console spiritual sucessor (easier, no vehicle configuration, very arcadey).

I knew it. I don't know how

I knew it. I don't know how I missed that link... I clicked on the "vigilante 8" tag below and it didn't pop up lol.

 

Also, that drop shadow is from XBLArcade :P

I rented this for the N64 a LONG time ago. The graphics look very smooth, I might get it.

This just lost some stock value for me.
