5/14: Additional Info and Achivements

[quote name='eastx']Based on the Dutch article, here is my preview. No, this is not Saturn Bomberman or any existing Bomberman. Bomberman 94 is better than Bomberman 93, and Saturn Bomberman is better than any of them. Still, this will be a good one!

After a failed attempt at bringing the Bomberman franchise to Xbox 360 (Bomberman Act Zero was the worst-selling game of 2006), Hudson has finally decided to make the Bomberman game that everybody wanted in the first place. Developer Backbone Entertainment is readying Bomberman Live for a June Xbox Live Arcade release. Bomberman Live appears to be much closer to classic Bomberman games than Act Zero, both in terms of looks and gameplay options.

Dutch site X Power http://www.x-power.be/?act=galleries&gallery_id=617 has a full screenshot gallery and preview of the game. Their preview is written in some nonsense language, so I've taken it upon myself to gleam as much information as possible for my fellow Bomberman fans.

-Bomberman Live seems to be most closely-based on Bomberman Online for Dreamcast as well as the Asian PC/PS2 versions. However, unlike the Dreamcast game, the playing field is not angled. That's good!

-Players are able to customize their Bomberman's head, face, and body from a large selection of parts. Some parts must be unlocked. About 10,000 different combinations are possible.

-The single-player game consists of versus battles against the computer. People buy Bomberman for the multiplayer, and this version looks like it won't disappoint.
2-4 players can play locally and 2-8 players can battle online. There will be online tournaments and I will win them! You heard it here first.

-Only 2 game modes are confirmed (with 1 coming later via Downloadable Content) but there are probably more. Confirmed Game Modes:
-Normal Battle, Zombie Match (AKA Panel Paint: the player whose color covers the most panels at the end wins)

-Revenge Bomber (Miso Bomber) returns. Defeated players can circle the arena and fire bombs at active players. Revenge can be set to On, Off, and Super.

-Power-ups are customizable.
Confirmed power-ups:
Fire Up, Bomb Up, Speed Up, Line Bombs, Kick Bombs, Skulls (random bad effect), Throw Bombs, Punch Bombs, Full Fire, Spike Bombs, P Bombs, and Land Mines (ugh).
There will be no Dinos or Louies (mounts) in this version. Rumors suggest that the Dinos ate the Louies before finally turning on each other.

-There are 8 confirmed stages and 6 more coming through downloadable content.
Confirmed stages:
Circus (floor arrows divert kicked bombs), Stadium (classic stage), Graveyard (trapdoors), Jungle Ruins, Pirate Ocean (no hard blocks), Space Station, Snow, and Cavern

-After the game's launch, 3 downloadable content packs will be introduced. No cost is known and it is unclear whether the Gamerpics and Themes are included in the actual content packs.

30 Days after launch:
* 1 new game mode - Most Frags
* 2 stages – Air Ship and Las Vegas
* 10 new characters
* 5 Gamerpics
* 1 Theme

60 Days after launch:
* 2 stages – Race and Dreamland
* 10 new characters
* 5 Gamerpics
* 1 Theme

90 Days after launch:
* 2 stages – Candy World and Inferno
* 10 new characters

omg... possibility of the SATURN version????? the 10-player one? I've always wanted to play that!

Or even if it's something brand new... sign me up!

Please let this be true!!!
 
the 360 should easily handle the 10 player mode if it is saturn bomberman... problem is though to play 10 players in the original, a LARGE screen was necessary since it used larger levels for 10 player play... and well, shrunk your character's size.... it'll be hard to play on anything smaller that 30"
 
I have the Saturn version . The most I've ever played with is 7 [only one multitap] .

The Saturn version runs in 640 x 480 , it was kinda interlacy looking .
The only drawback is your BomberMan is really small , and it's hard to know where you start .
Sometimes you'll get killed before you realize where you are .
 
aaaaa Bomberman is awesome...first XBLA game I'd buy, ESPECIALLY IF THE ONLINE IS GREAT! Been wanting to play Bomberman for a long time on something other than GBA....

Obviously some are in english...
 
Even if it's 800 points, this is a STEAL for game that's going to dominate the Live Arcade. Very, very, very cool.

Anyone have any idea how big of a file this game is?
 
[quote name='AshesofWake']dammit, it's the shitty version, fuck fuck fuck. why cant they just port bomberman 93 and be done with it. fuck.[/QUOTE]

.....What version is it? I can't tell from the screens.
 
from the items i see such as the rollerskates it seems to be the same multiplayer as the DS versions, which were just not as fun as the old school Bomberman's. But it seems like this one has viruses which were the greatest things about the old one.
 
I'm excited for this, but I'll be playing with old graphics if possible. I think there's enough going on onscreen without shaded characters.

They're definitely not unique to the DS version...
 
Looks like a definite day 1 buy for me. Eight might not be as sweet as ten, but at least the graphics look good and we'll be seeing this sooner than later.

they're not in the bomberman games that I consider the best, aka Bomberman 93

Ehhh. The Japan only Bomberman 5 is the Bomberman to beat. The ability to seek vengeance after you die? Amazing.
 
yea i guess im pretty much jumping to conclusions, ill wait for the final product to make my decision, but yea, kinda disappointed in a way..oh well.
 
havetn played any bomberman other than a gameboy platfomrer one and bomberman 64...i also have the DS version

i liked bomberman 64 version the best since it was an awesome party game...
 
This looks sweet, a definently must buy game. Eight players should be very fun too. Maybe the June release isn't for North America though?
