Despite being announced, it looks like Trine on the Xbox 360 won't be happening. In a post via Frozenbye Interactive's official message board, the studio's Joel Kinnunen wrote that the project is "out of our hands but most likely won't happen." He added that the Frozenbyte collective might not comment on this matter "any further," a comment that has us scratching our heads a bit.
The good news is that you're reading this post on a PC, and if you bought this thing within the century, you should be able to handle Trine. Get to it. Even Anthony liked it, and that's saying something -- dude hates games. This is a fact.

I look forward to kicking Mr.Destructoids ass in Raskulls. ;]
Not sure about the "will run on any computer this decade" thing though, you likely need at least a 3D accelerated video card.
The certification process Microsoft makes you go through is insane, plus the Zeno Clash developers have said that in order to release on Xbox Live Arcade after releasing elsewhere Microsoft requires you to add substantial new and exclusive content and change the name of the title.
Microsoft's heavy hand is a pain in the ass, to be frank.
I don't know how it'd work on the 360, personally, or the PS3 for that matter. Surprised they haven't released a Wii version ;)
Yes, many 360 players are achievement whores. You don't get the same satisfaction out of trophies. We like to see the number growing without no real merit. I call it gambling addiction syndrome. So yes, if it doesn't show up on 360, I will most likely won't play it. My PS3 gets used when there is Sony exclusive title. All multiplatform gets attentions on 360 b/c of my buddies on xbl and achievement.
Trophies and achievements are virtually the same thing. YOU may not get the same satisfaction from getting trophies, but that doesn't mean others don't.
@dip
I have to agree with whateverthismeansto you. Not saying that achievements and trophies are not the same thing (they basically are), but I've invested so much time in my chievos that I can't help but want to get every game for 360, when I can.
And yes, I know that achievements (and trophies) are just arbitrary points and goals with no concrete value, but two of the very foundations of video games are arbitrary points and goals. Besides, they're fun :-)
Played it for about a half hour on the ol' PS3... haven't played it since.
I'm not interested in repurchasing all my games again. Between Sony and MS, MS is more likely to make this happen (given their strength lies in software and technically more feasible).
So I won't be buying this game for any other platform.
