Suprise XBox 360 game to be announced today on 360.ign.com ...

well uh, its certainly suprising, thats for sure. Can't wait for "Watching Paint Dry 3D".

:banghead:

 

Dammit, why couldn't have been a curling game?

 

A mega POS table tennis game, I hope they have Michael Maze in it, since he is a good Danish table tennis player.

 

Yes! Curl Girls! Curling would make a great game. (I'm actually serious.)

I don't know what I think of this Table Tennis game, but way to go Rockstar! Make the games you want! Take no guff! :clap:

 

LOL and I wonder how they will get sued with this game ... its in rockstars nature to get sued.. so probally some twisted mum will find a way to sue them lol

 

Yawn. Then again, Rockstar's games have never appealed to me anyway. No big deal really.

 

This may be the stupidest idea in the history of videogames.....

 

Why is something that you don't like an automatic Piece of Shit?

Virtua Tennis was (and still is) a kick ass game.

I'm not saying the Rockstar game is good and not saying it's bad, just saying it's pretty stupid to simply write something off due to a closed mind and preconceived notions.

Hmm, that could actually be a fun game. I am not very good at table tennis, but I would definitely give it a shot.

Wow, a curling game would be great. The sport is awesome, it is ashame people don't actually take to time to watch it, instead of marking it off as some 'shuffle board' type game.


^_^_^

 

If you can go on live with it, im very sure it will get get high scores *coughpdzcough*

 

I suppose i should elaborate on this comment...

I guess it comes down to the control scheme. I've seen a hundred "ping pong" games on the PC, it was a fairly sizable market around 1998. Unfortunately the controlls always suck, and that was with a mouse. I don't see how you're going to get this to work with the analog sticks, especally when you consider how fast ping pong is played. You're going to have to be able to put all different kinds of spins on the ball at all different volley strengths while aiming the ball on the court. Tennis works because it's really only 2D, ping pong is a different game, it's fully 3D on a tiny table.

If it were on the revolution, i could see it working. On the 360? never...

 

i dont understand why they made a big deal if it was this, ah well might be good.

 

Sadness... I came into this thread hoping for something really cool. And I got... table tennis...

Oh well, back to dreaming about Shenmue 3.

 

Hmm, what a load of crap ! Well, IGN were wrong because I thought it would be some form of odd sports crap and looks like I was right. Oh well, another night of dreaming something really cool was on the way only to be smacked in the fact witha big steaming turd.

PS: thanks for the way on how to work out the US time zones.

 

Guys. When IGN says they are going to announce something totally unexpected, don't get your hopes up. I've known this since 2000.

 

Indeed. Nintendo's "Megaton" anybody?

 

Ok, This obviously sucks but did anyone else think that this could be a pretty fun game for the Revolution if it were first person and online capable?

 

what the shit?

even the worst stereotype of videogame fanatics can play ping pong relatively easy. This is the worst idea for a game ever.

 

Maybe they will put a secret "hot coffee" game in there where ping pong balls pop out of different orfaces

 

Well, the only lovely table tennis game I have ever played, is PONG.
