No Audiosurf on XBLA ... sowwy guyz! photo

The other day, it was suggested in Games TM magazine that the indie gaming crowd's (ie, Rev Anthony's) latest darling, Audiosurf, would be coming to Xbox Live Arcade. This was certainly a good thing -- too good, in fact, to be real. Sorry, but it was a case of crossed wires -- Audiosurf isn't coming to XBLA.

“Must have been a miscommunication," stated the game's creator, Dylan Fitterer. "I never said Audiosurf was coming to XBLA." 

That's a shame. I really wanted to try Audiosurf, but my computer is a shambling wreck of misery and unrealistic desire, so I can't really play any PC games for the moment. I was hoping I'd be able to get my hands on this for the 360, but I guess not.

Ah well, easy come, easy go?

This makes me very sad. I really wanted to play this on my 360. Ah, well.

It being on XBLA was the only chance I would play it.

Eh, I probably wouldn't have bought it anyway because I very rarely buy XBLA games.

But they could make a lot of money off of it if they put it on XBLA. I would gladly pay for it!

Why the long faces? This news doesn't make the PC version any less fun.

I'm concerned for the state of your PC..my PC oh so barely runs The Witcher in the lowest of low settings and it handles Audio Surf just fine.

KaL: Yeah, my PC's just fucked. I think it's got a problem with its graphics card or something, in addition to not having enough RAM in it, because I refuse to pay for more RAM for this thing when I don't intend to keep it when I move.

In the meantime though ... everything sucks. :-(

This will probably lead to the game being ported. Come on Fitterer, don't be an idiot. Be a greedy opportunist!

My $400 laptop can run this pretty well at medium shaders with 4xAA (1.8ghz celeron, 1.5gb ram, Intel GMA945.) My gaming PC shreds it, of course. Whatever new computer you end up getting will undoubtedly be able to run it, Jim.

It's from a comedy short series. I literally fell over the first time I saw this, it's called Simon & Derek.
Also, for the rickroll leery (I feel you, you nervous bastards), you can also watch it on their site:

I <3 my Audiosurf.

I haven't played it with the 360 controller, but I've heard it isn't half bad.

The system requirements aren't very high for audiosurf. You could probably get the RAM and video card required for around $50 total.

Damn, I was really hoping this would happen. Steam doesn't really work on a Mac.

I don't think this game goes along with MS's mentality of never letting you do what you want with the things you buy.

Because this game would have to be able to access music stored on the system, I guess the devs would need MS's involvement.

Dang. I'm in the same boat; my PC wouldn't run Audiosurf if I tried, so I was really hoping for an XBLA version.

Hey Sterling, Audiosurf kicks ass. I thought I wouldn't like it, and I think it would suck on XBLA because the ability and ease of my MP3 collection to be used to generate 'levels' is fantastic on the PC...in some way MS would figure out a way to drain our collective wallets and when you look at the 10 bucks the game costs, it is worth it. It isn't (or doesn't have to be) a drag on underwhelming PCs either...My PC isn't at all a gaming set up, and it runs great. You don't have to have the AA on (doesn't affect gameplay) and there are a good amount of options/set up. I just wish there was a good interface for a controller...I'm not good with a mouse.
