XBLA Exclusive Deadlight Preview Video


Recommended Posts

Dang, I am losing track of all the exclusives coming out on the 360 this year. This is shaping up to be a sweet one as well. And yes, it is a puzzle platformer. Think Limbo, Braid, etc, but with AAA graphics.

Nice, really, really like the look of that from the last few seconds. Do they say exactly what coming soon means as far as a date?

Don't believe so. I've seen some places say summer (as in Summer of Arcade), but they don't have any sources backing that up.

Yeah now after especially seeing those screens, so incredibly pysched to play this game. I have literally had 4000 MS points since Xmas of 2010 (not a type-o, started off with a little over 5000 thanks to gift cards) just sitting waiting to be purchased (doing a PSN share account had a whole lot to do with that fact). I have held off on spending those points on several occasions, and between this, Alan Wake, and a few other titles I am looking forward to on XBLA, they are going to be gone in no time.

And I absolutely agree, I find myself much more into playing downloadable games these days, as I tend to enjoy SP experiences more. And truth is most of the time these games are just as long as retail SP releases, and it just seems that most downloadable games always nail the actual gameplay element of games. This one just also seems to have gorgeous visuals to boot, so truly has jumped up on my most anticipated games of this year just based on this thread.

Looks a lot like "I Am Alive", which is also an XBLA exclusive. Not that I'm complaining, I'm definitely gonna get them both.

I Am Alive is not an XBLA exclusive, also coming out on PSN.

Yup, I Am Alive is XBLA/PSN. And, IMO, it looks nothing like Deadlight. They're different genres, their settings are very different, and I Am Alive is about a post-apocalypse type environment. I Am Alive is more along the lines of The Road (book/movie).

You're absolutely right. I just thought I heard it was an XBLA exclusive, but after a bit of research I can see that it isn't.

Yep no worries, was just letting you and others know it was available on both in case others were interested in it.

I do see how the theme is common between this game and I Am Alive, but I think that is about it. Gameplay seems pretty different. I do plan on picking up both however. Definitely.

This looks awesome. I'm not a fan of arcade games but if this one is good, I'd definitely buy some Microsoft points to get it. From the video description, it says "...survivor of an apocalyptic world set in an alternate 80s." I'm guessing that the cold war didn't end and it resulted in a global, and possibly nuclear, war. The graphics look better than most XBLA titles. IGN has some high-res screenshots here.

Being a child of the 80's, I really dig that whole vibe. I clearly remember people still being (very) scared of nuclear war, Ronald Reagan as the president, and it overall not being the best of times. That is really kick ass and makes me like it even more.

looks good, thanks for posting this, will purchase it when it comes out. hopefully there's a Windows Phone version :rofl: love gaming on my new Titan. anyway, you can always send some of those extra points my way, Larry, i'm down to like a 1000 :rolleyes:

EDIT: this game is set in Vancouver? is this like TV and Hollywood now, games are cheaper if made in Vancouver tsk tsk? :D

Reviews are rolling in on this one, seems to be one of the most squandered opportunities in quite some time.

All of the negative reviews say the opening act of the game is great, and the rest of the game is riddled by poor game design choices, such as precise platforming with imprecise controls.

Really torn on what to do here, as the demo is no doubt going to be the superb opening act more than likely. Damn, seems like a true shame.

So I still picked this game up despite all the negative press, and I may very well regret picking this game up. :/ :laugh:

I checked out the demo and liked it, but I knew I would based on all of the reviews saying the first 30 minutes or so of the game are great. But everything I have read so far in the negative reviews is right on. For a platforming game that requires precision, the controls are at times indeed horrible. Really not precise at all.

It also is very cheap with some of the puzzles. like there is no way at all to figure stuff out without dying first, which I personally think is a pretty cheesy gimmick.

It is not the worse game I have ever played, but it is definitely not the best either. Shame as visually it is stunning, really do like it. And with better controls this could have been a contender for sure. As it stands now, it is one of the best examples of a squandered opportunity I have ever seen in the video game world.

I am probably about half way through the game based on what I have read, so I will see if i get through it.

Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
    • At least AMD is still taking Windows 10 seriously (after the oops) before it consumer extended support ends. @WaltC - Memories, 2x Voodoo in SLI with a Riva TNT with an Aureal A3D soundcard.
    • So size is the ONLY selling point????? People have been plugging in PC's to TV's in living rooms for 20+ years. I would take a bigger box for more peformance. Also lot and lots of SFF/Mini ITX build guides out there.
