GDC08: Castle Crashers crash lands this Summer

by Dustin Burg { Feb 20th 2008 at 5:05PM }

Coming straight from the digital pages of today's GDC press release, we learn that The Behemoth's Castle Crashers will in fact be making an Xbox Live Arcade release sometime this year. More specifically, this Summer! Castle Crashers has been at the forever delayed end of the release spectrum and now we finally have a four month window to look forward to. You seriously do not know how excited we are right now, we're almost giddy enough to dress up like our favorite colored knight. Almost ... we did say almost.

I have been dying to play this since it was announced. Really nice to see a solid date set.

Honestly how does an XBLA game take 3 years to make?

does anybody really give a shit about this title anymore?

this game was never delayd, its just that they showed the game WAYYY early in its life cycle and they keep getting people begging to know the release like it was almost done.

but there are always people like you that think games take a day to make.

YEAH, DON'T GAMES ONLY TAKE A DAY TO MAKE??? DUURURURRURR!!

You fucking retard. Why not use your brain instead of defending what will be one of the lowest selling XBLA titles ever.

People like me? Honestly, douche, do you think a team of half retards and monkeys could make this game faster than Behemoth? I do.

And did i even mention anything about it being DELAYED?

No, i said no XBLA title should take 3 years to make, especailly when it had playable demos available at E3, 3 YEARS AGO.

The developers are lazy and apparently love press, because they can't stop showing the game for 3 years now.

There is a point where anticipation becomes loathing. Nobody but retards will care about this game at a certain point... and clearly we've reached it.

The title was announced in July of '06. The game will be released in June of 2008. The announcement consisted of conceptual art and nothing more. You're hyperbolizing the production time.

With that said, this amount of hype for an XBLA title does seem extreme and has been rather off-putting. Regardless when it is released I will play the demo and base my decision off of that. To automatically dismiss a title because it has been over-exposed seems ridiculous.
