heavy liquid Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Cool. So there's two more KUF games on the way? Wow! I still have to buy the first one, which I've been meaning to do for a while now. Too many games, and not enough time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 What are people's thoughts on the first game? Seemed a cool idea, but I have yet to really play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Heya Joe, You can take a look at this thread for some good info on Crusaders on Xbox (which is actually the second game in the series. The first appeared on the PC): Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Finally got some news on Heroes. Microsoft has grabbed the publishing rights again and plans to release the prequel to Crusaders this summer. You can play as seven unique heroes through 50 campaign missions. Xbox Live support is also being included. Let's hope it's expanded past the first games 1 on 1. http://xbox.ign.com/articles/608/608628p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Microsoft has grabbed the publishing rights again And that's the biggest suprise of this announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Yes it is. Considering the poor sales of the original game (along with it's lengthy development cycle), I figured they would have to shop it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 And that Microsoft have announced next to nothing for the Xbox this year of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Ya, that's what I was thinking. Seems odd that they'd grab the rights to this one. Maybe they were shopping the next gen one with it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Bling Bling Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Sure sales were bad, but the original game had no marketing. I think the series has all the stuff necessary to be a big hit if it can get some better promotion. I never played it on Live, but it was one of my favorite games of last year based solely on the single player campaign. The combat was more intense than any of the other Dynasty Warriors type games, and the graphics and strategy elements were just icing on the cake. I think a sequel with a bit more polish could be a huge success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
