Huge Killer App Ship Approaching.
T-Minus 3 months until this thing hits. Confirmed by some folks that it's in mid February 2008.

I've been waiting for this stupid game for, what, almost 2 years? It and Forza2 seemed like justification for the 360 at the time.

That's cool. Make a joke about Culdcept.
You'll burn in hell for it. But it's totally cool.

Glad to hear it's finally releasing soon (for a while I think it was expected to come out earlier this year). Especially since there's not much else I'm interested in coming out around that time.

I would buy an Xbox360 for this alone. Course, I love most game that have similarities to MtG so... |

I keep eyeing the copy of Culdcept on PS2 we have at my Gamestop, but then I keep remembering that I never have time to play it.

This game is definitely on my buy list, never fear Schild. It helps that it is coming out in a month that has little competition to my knowledge.

It has. I just downloaded it a little while ago. Shame that they don't give us a level to play over Live, but it's fun regardless. |

See, you're 100% backwards. Games are better when you have no idea what it is when you're holding it in your hand. Knowing about THE HYPE for years in advance sucks. Ex: Any Peter Molyneux game ever. |

Question - Is Culdcept Saga including the original Culdcept?

No, but I think nearly all the cards from the original and expansion are in there, if not all of them.

When I was young I played this in real life. We called it "Monster Card Monopoly." It was a mix of Monopoly and some old Warhammer trading cards. When you landed on squares you fought. It was awesome.

Ok, tried the demo, here are my thoughts:
I hope there is more to the full game. The game board had what? 16 squares with 2 uniques on it? The fighting was kind of meh. Little swing animation and the card gets cut in half.
I don't know. I wasn't that blown away by it, but I'll still consider picking it up in case that demo was a shitty preview of the full game. I just may wait for reviews now.

The single player on the demo has one board (which is pretty much a tutorial level). I think the multiplayer on the demo is supposed to have two, but I haven't taken a look at it. There's a lot more variety to the boards in the full game. Take a look at some of the screenshots. There's also supposed to be about 500 different cards in the full game. |

That does look a lot more promising. I guess they just did a piss poor job in the demo. At the "coming soon" screen they should have had a text blurb and some screenshots.
I was also highly confused by what alot of the stuff meant. "You increased your red in the center." Uh...ok. I know that's good but why? I guess I need to have played previous versions.

That just kinda sounds like a bad translation. Can't really think of what that would mean. I picked up the gameplay pretty quickly though after playing the demo about 3 or 4 times. |

Also, on the subject of video games with a trading card aspect, I'd kill for a console port of Lord of Vermilion. Hell, I'd buy a PS3 and an Eye Toy just for that if they did it Eye of Judgement style. |

I can see Vermillion getting a console release. And yes, I want it more than Jessica Alba.

Squeenix used their best artists on the game. The list is amazing. It puts MTG to shame. Just completely. Which is sort of sad. I hope Wizards wants to bring it over here. Maybe work in part with Square USA.

Well, I got most of the gameplay. There were just little nuances that I'm sure would have made my strategy better if I understood them. I noticed as I leveled my lands and got more lands of the same color that it increased my share of the center color thingy, so I'm guessing that was important. |

In the original Culdcept you got bonuses for having more of a certain color. Can't quite remember how that worked at the moment. Sort of like when you get hotels on everything in Monopoly.
