Hmmm...sounds a lot like the original with just a slightly improved combat system.

I personally would have liked to see a little more freedom and exploration in the world, but it sounds like it's still quite linear. Still, I've very excited for the game. Hope they get it on consoles before Halloween.

EDIT: not sure why this isn't working, but it's Midnight City tweeting that it should be on consoles before Halloween.

I already told you guys I dont really know a thing about Pix other than the name and the dope devs, but now I realized I didnt have a clue what Dust was.  I thought it was another game completely.

I am actually cool with it being basically a Madden update to the original, because I love the first one. The one thing that will cause me to not double dip onto consoles will be its awful release date. Why release a Halloween game on basically Halloween itself? It would be like waiting to release Madden on Super Bowl Sunday.
Are you looking at a placeholder date maybe? The console version doesn't have a release date. Pretty safe to assume it will be the 14th, 21st, or 28th though.

Were you confusing it with From Dust maybe? A lot of people do that.

Dust is amazing. I'll be streaming that tonight probably along with Pix.

 
I forgot Costume Quest was out today on PC. So there is no console release date yet? Really hoping I get to play it before Halloween while pounding some pumpkin beer or something. This might be my favorite time of year. Having pumpkin flavored stuff and watching horror movies all month. I watched this movie on Netflix the other day called "Who's Next?" which was surprisingly great. I've never really cared for the home-invasion killer type movies, but I highly recommend people check that out.

Just watched a video of one of the games..it's like mario! I will buy this weekend. Never heard of these games before today.
Yeah, it actually came out about two years ago and has been sitting on my "too buy" list since then. I think it looks like a lot of fun. Not sure I'll love the puzzle one, but the platformer game and the Cat game both look sweet.

They also have a mobile game called Pix n Love Rush. I thought it was a Mini too but I can't find it on the store. I think it may be very similar to one of the games in the Arkedo series though, I'm not sure.

 
You all know I don't care about sports, but I find it more than a little odd (though not all that surprising) that there aren't any published reviews for NBA 2k15 at any of the sites I frequent (e.g., Destructoid, IGN, Gamespot) despite it releasing today. Amazon customer reviews are ho-hum for the PS4 version, while the 360 version is effectively being ripped to shreds so far.

What games are you guys referring to here? Specifically the Mario one.

That's weird. 2k14 was lauded as amazing on new-gen, except for some of the questionable IAPs and stuff. Seems like 2k15 should be really really good this year.

 
I am inside something when I start the checkpoint (abandoned carcass of a boat or plane or something) and I exit through the left and a tank appears and a bunch of dudes come out. I got through all them, and made my way to the abandoned boat or yacht, then a sandstorm started when I was up there and I feel like I almost got through that, but that was as far as I got. I think it's the 3rd part you are mentioning.
Have you tried riding it out on the top level of the boat? That just leaves one way for them to come up and lets you spam the area they would congregate at the bottom of the stairs with a grenade or two. Based on your trophies you haven't used blindfire much. If lots of them come up the stairs at once you can use blindfire (holding down fire button without the aim button) to pepper them with shots and they won't be able to hit you unless they are able to overrun your cover position. Blindfire is also great for face shooting heavies which are right in front of your cover position. If they toss up a nade, slip to the left and around the corner of the box and take cover on the left side until the gren blows then move back to your position.

To answer the questions regarding Arkedo / Pastagames, we have always been separate entities, but we worked in collaboration on several titles such as Pixel 03 of the Arkedo Series and shared a studio for a long time. Sadly since then Arkedo went belly up, but Aurelien Regard who was one of their driving forces moved onto a solo career and is currently making The Next Penelope : Race To Odysseus!



It's so nice of all of you to be looking for ways to support us, the best way would be sharing the Pix love around you! And checking out Aurelien's stuff!

Thank you all again!

Oh, CAG--you and your block quotes.

You're welcome, Tyler! :wave:

Likes for the Club Dread reference. I haven't been able to read that name correctly for years. Are those guys ever gonna make another movie?
I thought someone just recently posted that Super Troopers 2 was a go or something. I haven't really liked anything they've done except Super Troopers (which is hilarious) and Club Dread (which is really good). Beerfest was ok I guess, a couple good laughs but not the best.

I thought The Slammin' Salmon was underrated.

What's the deal with the trophies for the Arkedo games? PStrophies.org says that "Arkedo Series" has 14 trophies, and then it lists 9, 12, and 12 for the individual games.

In my best run I did just that but I cleared the initial wave first. I was behind the box on top of the boat. I seriously felt like I had to be close to the end and one guy came at me from the left and one from the right and one of them killed me. Yeah I haven't used blindfire much, I feel like in some spots it's easier to headshot as many enemies as I can right away to cut down on the numbers and then just take the rest down as they come at me. I'll give it a go and see if I fair any better. I feel like this game has a bad habit of letting you feel like you are past a particular area and then they throw a sandstorm or some other random-ness at you.

Also saw Slammin' Salmon. I don't remember anything objectionable about it, but I also I don't remember much anything specifically about it so it must not have been that memorable.

I haven't seen Slammin Salmon.

Those individual games were only released individually in Europe. US only got the Arkedo Series.
