Choplifter HD confirmed for XBL and PSN release next week
Konami's upcoming Choplifter HD has now had its release date confirmed and it's coming really soon. The game will be available to PlayStation Network users on the 10th of January, with the Xbox Live Arcade version arriving on the 11th. It's priced at $14.99 and 1200 Microsoft Points, respectively. Developed by inXile Entertainment, Choplifter HD sticks close to the classic formula of rescuing citizens with your chopper, but it looks like the offensive capabilities have been bumped up too. Oh and there's a zombie mode, of course, plus cameos by Super Meat Boy and Duke Nukem. The latter did it for the "babes," presumably. Conrad and Hamza both liked what they saw when they played preview builds of Choplifter HD, so it's looking like this will be more than just a glossy make-over of the same old Choplifter of days gone by. We'll find out next week. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)$10 I'd buy it. $15 I'll wait for a sale. A title like Bastion I'll gladly pay $15 for. A basic arcade shooter...not so much. Especially when similar games are on iOS for a Dollar. This doesn't look worth $15, though it depends on how they expand the gameplay and how much content there is. Renegade Ops took an old arcade formula as a base, but then developed it into a 'bigger' game. I don't get the impression Choplifter is really doing that, though...? This was a great article to say the least. I really do think that this was a great and informative article to read.
