CSS for XBLA?

Versacality · 11-06-2009, 07:49 PM

Ever since I played CSS at my friends house it has become my fav shooter of all time. I use to be a PC gamer but mostly a console gamer. I'm just a normal guy with a normal computer so I can't play PC games(alot of us cant buy super cpu's). DICE released a game for the XBLA called Battlefield 1943 and since then it has become one of the top five most played arcade games on XBLA<-- this made me say "OMG! if DICE can do it then Valve can to!" if CSS was relased on the XBLA It will do better than DICE's game becasue most of the XBL gamers have played CS1 and there fans of shooters anyway. who would buys this? the Callofduty,Shawdowrun,balltefield,halo3,GRAW,rainb owsix players. all it takes is some good Marketing on the XBl dashboard and thats it. p.s. when I play L4D I get goosebumps not from the zombies but from knowing what Counter Strike would look like on XB360. can a poll be made for this?

You won't get many votes for it here because PC gamers hate what consoles are doing to the industry.

I know this is a hardcore pc forums but there is no other place to go. if I want some answers then I must go to the source(im here). the XBLA acrade has always been a place where the sales are good as long as the game is good. Company's like Capcom,EA,and Epic are all attacking the XBLA with new/old games. all three of the companys have a title for DL on the marketplace and all three are top ranked on the marketplace. even the people that never played a CS game will pick this up. L4D fans will pick this game up and feel right at home. I wouldn't ask for this if I didn't think that it would sale plus when L4D comes out they will have money to spend on a project like this right? I really think the timeing is perfect because of the L4D2 release in a few weeks. THE TIME IS RIGHT.

it would seem like a good idea for Xbox players, but the game would inevitably have to be modified in order to be suitable, not just in terms of gameplay but the engine as well

you also risk the backlash of one of the biggest fps communities out there

Versacality · 11-07-2009, 06:13 AM

There are games on the marketplace with graphics and physics just as good as CSS and some even look better than CSS. I don't think they would need to change the engine but they will have to change how the online works. the problem would be online and marketing for the game. A big game goes for about 1200mps or $15.00 on the marketplace so valve would have to cut some stuff from the game or sell it for more which is bad for a DL game. im not sure how many DF maps CSS have but I still think some of those would even get cut. its more about what is junk,what needs change, and how much junk can we remove to make the game better. a release round march-june would be the perfect time the this game because all the good title are being release early next year. I think this would be a nice project/idea for valve.

There might be games on there that have physics etc and look like CSS, but CSS was built for the PC, you can't simply copy and paste it onto an Xbox and expect it to work as well because it simply wouldn't, it would probably die a terrible terrible death

the engine would need to be modified for a start, made to run on Xbox hardware, probably optimised

and then theres the gameplay to think about, I doubt Halo players would appreciate the kick in the face they receive when they find out they simply can't hold fire and get kills while playing it

Versacality · 11-07-2009, 06:44 AM

@MrChris you right about that. I still have the first CS on reg.Xbox and it looks crappy compared to the PC but the gameplay was still good. Change will have to be made but I think Valve can do it if its not Brain Killing.

on the xbox player - The average player on xbox loves shooters. Halo,Callofduty,RainbowSix,GRAW,BF2-BFBC,Gearsofwar,L4D <-- thats alot of players who would buy this game. even EA's Crysis is comming to consoles because of the sales on consoles.

Orange box is on the Xbox, so using whatever materials that has, its probably quite eazy to port over. Who knows, they may yet port this over, and Im honestly surprised they have not yet. When they do Im certain all the maps will have HDR and a majority of the "glitches" would be removed. This way us PC players will continue to have something to complain about.

It works in Theory.. but CS:S should stay as PC exclusive, since that was were it originated from, its kind of a sell-out for VALVe to put this on XBL.

VALVe sold out on this game years ago. Its a weekly top seller, and in theory has made valve many times more money than say Left 4 dead or TF2, yet those are the games that get sequels and updates. CSS pays for valve's R&D

Nice joke, but serious no!

It's not really that hard to make a new CS game for the Xbox... but I think that CS 1.6 for Xbox was kinda boring, not that I tried it out my self, but thats what I heard. And the video I saw on GameSpot made the game look very boring.

You need to be able to move your point of sight very fast and move it to a precise position. And I haven't seen any controller that could manage that.

Anyways here is a suggestion, if you want it then make it your self

Console creators and developers can kindly ♥♥♥♥ off, reselling old games is especially greedy.

They can keep making their own ♥♥♥♥ty 2 hour long games, let them try and make something like this by themselves maybe they would actually learn to make a real game.

Not to mention XBLA would probably charge you for every free update valve has released.

Go sit in a lobby.

go play your console cancer (MW2) and leave CS:S alone >
