Retro City Rampage Shows Off Launch Trailer

Retro City Rampage Shows Off Launch Trailer

The *actual* launch, however, is still to be determined

Written by osubluejacket on 09 October 12 at 07:49 | Credit to METAL MIN0TAUR

Even though we don't have a confirmed release date for vBlank Entertainment's upcoming homage to 8-bit, Retro City Rampage, it hasn't stopped the team from releasing a launch trailer to commemorate the game dropping on pretty much every platform except the 360. Their accompanying press release seems to indicate that the game will be on our favorite console as soon as it gets through Microsoft's certification.



Since I'm sure you're all a bit chapped that this game won't be available yet, we've uncovered another, shorter trailer showing off (you guessed it) a Nitro Shopping Cart.



We'll be sure to let you know the second that Retro City Rampage has an Xbox LIVE Arcade release. At that time, all of this glorious goodness will cost you 1200 MSP.

Microsofts certification fucks us again. Let's hope we'll actually see this game. I'm still moaning about Stranger's Wrath

NawtyCawty - Why do people want to boost a game as soon as it comes out? Why not play it properly for a bit first ffs.

I'm pretty sure it has gone through certification, it's all set to go. I know that it just needs a release date, and we all know m$ takes care of that, so it's just a matter of m$ giving it a release date and the developer not wanting to make all platforms wait while m$ decides. (from what I gather, and i've been following this game :p) it hasn't been said what's keeping it from wii, but that actually sounds like there's a date not yet announced or that it's coming this month.

similar story was with Dungeon Defenders, but they actually DID decide to wait for m$, and release on all platforms simultaneously later, while it was actually ready to go on pc prior to that. gamers didn't like that.

Anyway. the press release clearly states that it's releasing as soon as it's passed certification on the various individual platforms. There's no reason to believe the developer is lying about that.

Damn, guys. It's 2007 again and we're using dollar signs to replace the letter S. EDGY.

Only little children and wannabe systemcritic brats use the $ in names to to show off their "Anti Moneymaking company" attitude.
And yet he uses a picture of a billion dollar company to identify with, oh the irony...

I don't see the problem here, no one/no other platform has the game yet.
And it's not MS fault that they wanna have a look at what they distribute on their platform.

Man since the ps3 was getting this game today i assumed the 360 would get it since this is a multi platform game.

I really do hope this gets put out on the XBLA soon, or else I will probably purchase it elsewhere (Seeing as I've been wanting to play this game for quite some time).

I didn't think I was getting this game but with all the homages they're paying to classic gaming, I'd be a fool not to.

PS3 and Steam purchases, here we go!!!

Wait, there's Cross-buy and Cross-save with the Vita too? SCORE!

I don't even think about it. Besides, it's quicker then typing out Microsoft, and if I put MS people might think it's something else. everyone knows what m$ is the second you see it.

Of course it wouldn't be a big deal to you, YOU NEVER BUY YOUR GAMES. You get them for free for writing some shitty reviews in around 2 paragraphs or so.

Only little kids and wannabe brats play Call of Duty, like you and the rest of your 15 year old friends.

No other platform has the game yet? Are you f*cking retarded? It was posted in the news story that it's released on PC, PS3, and Vita today.
