Give over, its just one small Arcade title. Nobodies reps are going to be tarnished. Once its out properly, this whole thing will be forgotten about quickly.

Yes, somebody from one or both companies may get a rollocking behind closed doors, but that's as far as it will go.

Agreed, in 1 week people will forget about the mess up, in 4 weeks no-one will be playing this anymore

Just think how many more threads and forums around the world are doing the same!

Indeed, even the good old BBC are carrying the news.

Sad, IMO of course...

Crazy!! I just found it.

I can only imagine some people posted it in as news and it was a slow news day for the technology section on BBC news.

According to the link Codemasters blame MS, but I guess no-one knows the true story.

Maybe one arcade title, but it's been one of the most anticipated releases for months now. There's already several people in one thread in just one forum (this!) that are slating the console, Microsoft and CodeMasters. Just think how many more threads and forums around the world are doing the same!

yeah but thats just sad buggers with naff all else to do..in the big scheme of things it really is a nothing event..its only important to nostalgic nerds like me..and I have waited this long a few days more isnt going to bother me

hehe perhaps we could send two people from the house of Lords to microsoft to negotiate the release of Sensible Soccer

mehuk · 20 Dec 2007 at 12:34

well it would be appreciated

mehuk · 20 Dec 2007 at 12:37

just read the BBC article

its good that the bad press is coming out - this console needs someone to shake it up, rattle its cage - the complaceny and apathy shown surrounding the whole thing is embarrassing

SWOS although not the money-spinner that gaylo 3 is, its still an important game

imagine if they had to recall all the gaylo 3 CDs, that would be a paddy and a half from the 360 cru'

WE SHALL NOT

Hey don't be thinking I'm bothered in the slightest ( http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10714943&postcount=21 ), I'm just looking at the CodeMasters site, Major Nelson and a few more and seeing a whole host of people saying it's the last straw, proves that XBLA is buggy, how CodeMasters can't even get a port working, etc, etc.

Don't shoot the messenger!

I can't get enough of the trial. Its really wet my appetite for when its re-released, can't wait to start a career

360 pad works really well with it too. Although occasionally I find my thumb coming off the side of the thumbstick.

mehuk · 20 Dec 2007 at 13:13

trial?

does that mean i can download a trial version for free now?

PiKe · 20 Dec 2007 at 13:15

It means he downloaded it when it was first out but didnt buy it.

I'm trying to work out if you are being incredibly sarcastic or really are fuming about this issue. If it's the latter I reserve the right to point and laugh at you

mehuk · 20 Dec 2007 at 14:13

Exactly, people later realize their purchase was based on nostalgia and then get bored of it very quickly. Pretty much like most ports of old arcade games on the XBLA.

mehuk · 20 Dec 2007 at 14:29

dont you tarnish the SWOS name

this will be the biggest game on LIVE ever

the only true competitive game - all these 'wannabe' pro leet FPS rubbish have nothing on the true fair competition SWOS brings

the only game where skill is the winner, not glitch.

Sad to say this has been the case for every old game to hit XBLA so far for me. I'm hoping SWOS can buck the trend.
