Dear iDarktread,
You are crazy.
If I tell you that it was the 360 will you stop being crazy and just buy the game you want to play?
Love,
Me.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO BUY THE 360 VERSION, BUT NOW I CANNOT BECAUSE OF YOUR STATEMENT.Dear iDarktread, You are crazy. If I tell you that it was the 360 will you stop being crazy and just buy the game you want to play? Love, Me.
*head asplode*
360 version works very nicely - It's a downloadable 2D platformer - I don't think there is going to be a whole lot of difference in performance. But you probably know that.You're right. Both controllers felt fine, too. Prolly gonna go with 360 this time around, though.

Not quite as much as Shadow Complex but still.....Just beat the last boss and now need to get the final few collectables (which is something I never normally do so it must be good)360 version works very nicely - It's a downloadable 2D platformer - I don't think there is going to be a whole lot of difference in performance.

AHA! MY LAST POST WAS A TRICK, AS I HAVEN'T YET PURCHASED THE GAME! GOOD GAME, DEVELOPERS; GOOD GAME, GIANT BOMB USERS, TOO.@iDarktread: Bummer, because the PS3 version was the lead platform and doesn't have that game-breaking save glitch near the end. :(
Something inside me just cannot pick consoles. Goddamit.

Ha. But I was actually kidding. I don't know which was the lead platform and there is no game-breaking save glitch near the end.
There is at least a demo on the Playstation Store if you want to try that out and compare it to the trial on the 360. That should get you as close as possible to which version is the best.

@N7: I've tried them both, and slightly preferred the 360 pad to the PS3 one. I just need to find out which platform was lead. I need to know.
Well, in my mind, since they've done a bunch more work for the Playstation Network as opposed to the Xbox Live Arcade, I'd assume the PS3 is the lead console.
But seeing as how doing a google search brings up your topic from before - as the very first result - I'd have to say that we may never know.

They are getting a bunch of praise from their works on the Playstation 3. Therefore, they are better on the Playstation 3.
So go with the Playstation 3.
Also their next game is for the Playstation Vita, so they are sticking with the platform rather closely.
I'm going with the PSN version, but I won't buy it until tomorrow just in case.
"My name is N7. My favorite way to play games is on the PS3"
@iDarktread: Oh, and for a while there, there was a promotion that consisted of "HEY IF YOU BUY OUTLAND NOW ON PSN YOU'LL GET A FREE AVATAR!" They didn't do that for XBL.
It's almost like the proof is writing itself!
I'm not leaving you in this journey of hopelessness! I'm here for you until the end of time!! WE WILL FACE THIS MONSTROSITY TOGETHER!
Also: "We actually have released for 360 before, so it wasn’t a completely new platform for us. But as Outland is our first cross-platform title, developing it did introduce challenges new to us. Biggest issues were getting the character controls smooth and fluid on both platforms as well as getting the menus and UI up to Microsoft’s and Sony’s two separate specs. We also had to do more bullet pattern and background optimization for the PS3 due to its slightly weaker GPU."

@iDarktread: Yeah. :(
On the other hand, the avatar is now on the Store for 49 cents. Looks pretty cool, but I prefer rocking my Thor avatar(Ironically enough, in choosing Thor as my avatar here on Giant Bomb, I forgot that I also had a Thor avatar for my PSN). I do prefer the colors of the Outland avatar, but I'm saving my money for the rumored MGS avatars.
What the fuck does it matter which version was the lead? It's a $10, 2D downloadable game. Neither system is struggling to pump out those visuals and it's not like you'd be out of a ton of money if you bought the "wrong" (but practically identical) version.
This shit was moronic enough when it was about big-budget retail games. I really hope this whole thread was just a lame joke.
