Getting closer - XBLA filesize increased - May 21, 2008 22:56

350MB now. I guess they had to increase the filesize for Soul Calibur (Just my speculation). It seems like Microsoft always increases the filesize when some great game is getting an XBLA port and simply needs the higher filesize (Didn' t they also increase the filesize when Castlevania was released?).

Yeah. It' s good to have it be somewhat restricted, though... it provides for some cool, experimental smaller games. Although most of what' s available through XBLA is a bunch of crap, there have been some gems. I do want to try out PSN' s Echochrome, though... what a great concept.

This is only going to open doors for developers. Fantastic move on their part.

On this note, has anybody played Dishwasher: Dead Samurai on XNA yet? It kicks ass!

XNA isnt available in India yet .. But the filesize increase is welcome .. It will allow bigger games like the penny arcade episodes . Each one of them are supposed to be 8-10 hours long ..

I love how Sonic 2 on XBLA doesn' t get choppy like on the genesis when you go insanely fast. It' s so sweet.

I didn' t enjoy Echochrome. I liked the concept of it, but playing it annoyed me. It should be trying to get from point A to point B, not going back and forth a million times collecting little whatevertheywere' s.
