OUCH! Bad news for non-GameCube owners. - Page 2

It probably could be on both X-box and Gamecube and not on PS2. Even if it takes a GBA to unlock it on Gamecube, it could still be a downloadable extra feature through X-box live. Thats why i love X-box so much almost ever game now, not the earlier releases but the later games have downloadable content. And its usually not just crappy stuff either, i mean splinter cell has a whole extra level.

I kinda doubt the Xbox has Casey, cuz you need the GBA to unlock him....

I didn't say you needed a GBA to unlock him on Xbox.

That's why I doubt it has the sae feature, because on GC you need the GBA to unlock it.

Oh ok. So I guess all the time I've spent playing the Casey Jones story mode on Xbox was all in my imagination then. I only test Xbox games for a living... I guess I don't know WTF I'm talking about here. Thanks for setting me straight.

Kinda hard to argue with that.

How do you unlock him on X-Box?

*Kid Icarus* · 10-19-2003, 11:09 AM

And Talon, I know how the testing works for videogames. Legaly you arn't supposed to be telling us anything about the game, as I'm sure Konami would be a bit peeved. If you're telling the truth, youre telling the truth, but I highly doubt it. Nothing personal though.

if you plan on playing Final Fantasy: Cyrstal Chronicles with more than yourself, you'll need the cable. might as well get it now before stores have problems stocking them.

You could have said that in the first place.

That's very true. Game testers aren't supposed to give out secret info about games... which is why I won't be offering up new information. But if a question is asked concering something that is public knowledge (such as the CJ mode) then I'll happily help to clarify the issue.

I hope casey jones is on PS2!

OA · 10-19-2003, 12:42 PM

Things are getting a bit testy in here...

...I guess we'll have to see next week what the real deal is...

Prowl · 10-19-2003, 01:31 PM

Yup I work in the game industry too, such mentionings can get a man's ass handed to him, lol. Thanks for the info though. Still getting the Ps2 version though. Crappy controllers and paying extra to be online are not worth it for me, even if I do get a new level.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-19-2003, 01:32 PM

People who work at game mags should be forced to play all major classic games before they're allowed to write about future games in those series.....whatever. I don't pay attention to most VG Mags anyway, except Nintendo Power. They think like I do.

I wonder what EGM will say about Super Mario Advance 4......*cracks knuckles*hehehe

Prowl · 10-19-2003, 01:35 PM

They Loved it Third Mario, got game of the month, I think. Which, although I love classic mario a lot, I dont think it's fair that a rerelease to an old game should be judged as a new game and be given GOTM. Jak2 really deserved that limelight. But in the end the review hardly matters, in that Jak is outselling Mario.

Dark Helmet · 10-19-2003, 02:27 PM

Who gives a crap about the Casey Jones mode. The real secret is whether or not the original arcade game is going to be included in all of its glory. If not, the game will suck.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 10-19-2003, 02:44 PM

who cares if the original game will be included, id rather play that on my NES.

OA · 10-19-2003, 02:50 PM

I agree with ya Ben...would rather play it on the old 8-bit..
