"Recently, Super Meat Boy developer Team Meat has stated it will not make a follow-up. The developer has today elaborated on its decision. Super Meat Boy has taken Xbox Live Arcade by storm, as well as receiving near-perfect review scores across the board. However Team Meat, formed by coders Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, stated that it would not produce a sequel."
Humble Bundle is back with a new bundle, offering 8 classic titles for a low price - including titles such as Super Meat Boy and Worms WMD.
Microsoft is a little slow this month when it comes to announcing the Games with Gold lineup for June 2022. This has led to the lineup leaking ahead of the announcement.
This is just plain sad, they are basically charging you for online and that's it, I guess this goes hand in hand with the "tell me you only play AAA games without telling me you only play AAA games"
Both Gamepass and Gold games offerings have gone way downhill.
Super Meat Boy was a Games with Gold title back in 2016..It's leftover Meat from 2016
I actually really enjoyed Aven Colony when it was on Gamepass. I got it for free from Epic Store a few months back.
I’ll give it another go.
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.
That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony
"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."
The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.
I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.
... although it wouldn't surprise me if they'd release new SMB-content in the form of DLC in due time.
Think that's their plan - and if they never want to fundamentally change the mechanics of the game, they could just release new levels ad infinatum
It's a noble prospect in many ways. Clearly they aren't in it to make a safe, fast buck. More of that please. Big businesses could learn from people like Team Meat.
