How many points will it be?

Metal Boss · 09-05-2008, 08:02 PM

I am going to be getting 1600 points & I want to get Bionic Commando rearmed, I will have 800 left so I am hoping it will be 800 points. Has there been any mention of this yet?

Joe Siegler · 09-05-2008, 09:08 PM

Nope. We don't know, as far as I'm aware.

Ironside · 09-05-2008, 09:12 PM

Will it be available in Australia?

You better find 400 more points to go with your 800.

Boo Boo Juice · 09-05-2008, 09:49 PM

I think it'll probably be 800. 1200 points is a bit much for this title. I mean, I'd still get it since its my favorite FPS of all time, but I think anyone outside of the hardcore would laugh at paying 1200 (15 bucks) points for the game.

I agree. 800 points seems to be a fair price. I mean, Bionic Commando is out for 800, and took a lot more money to be made...

But for me the price doesn't matter, I'll buy the game in any case (unless it costs 4000 points or something)...

Why does Microsoft decide the point value for this game, but hasn't for others such as Bionic Commando and Braid?

Stevey Boy · 09-06-2008, 03:02 AM

I dont think itll be 1200, isnt halo 1200?

Oh yes, it will be 1200 points. This is for certain, so better be prepared for it.

Dukefan24 · 09-06-2008, 09:04 AM

If so, that would mean Duke3D costs as much as the first Halo game which is over 1GB of space. Doesn't sound logical even for Microsoft's logic.. Oh well, Duke is worthy enough to reach the price of the Master Chief lol.

ShadeEX · 09-06-2008, 09:31 AM

Castle Crashers costs 1200 so I could see that happening to Duke Nukem 3D as well..

But we just have to wait and see I guess

Syph · 09-06-2008, 10:22 AM

Well to be fair, Duke is a lot more fun than Halo ever was. I wouldn't mind paying that much.

ZaphodB · 09-06-2008, 10:26 AM

Not only is Duke more fun, but it's a hell of a lot longer than Halo, with no repetitious levels. (Using the 2 PC vers for comparison, sure it'll be the same on the Xbox).

TJ Doc · 09-06-2008, 01:07 PM

I reckon it will be 800. Both Doom and Marathon Durandal cost 800 so I see no reason why DN3D should cost any more.

MegaMustaine · 09-06-2008, 01:21 PM

Games that are 1200 points such as Castle Crashers and Braid, are original games with teams that are well above the three or four people 3DR had working on the game. While I will certainly still buy the game if it ends up being 1200 I sincerely doubt Microsoft is stupid enough to put the game's price at 1200. After all it is still a re release of a game some people already have with minimal enhancements.

1031982 · 09-06-2008, 01:27 PM

Ya, I have never seen a ported game that's from PC cost more the 800. Luminous was the only ported game that cost 1200, and it was from the PSP and more current.

Raoul Luigi · 09-06-2008, 03:52 PM

Jesus, one of the best games of all time, kicks the s*** out of most modern titles, and yet here people are bitching over a measly 15 bucks.

DerricktheW · 09-06-2008, 03:58 PM

Noone's really bitching, just saying it'd make more sense to be 800 than 1200.

As I see it, everyone said they'd still buy it at 1200 or not.

Im not bitching m8, ill happily pay 1200 MS points for it, I was just speculating how much it will be

Dukefan24 · 09-07-2008, 04:27 AM

Of course we'll all spend 1200 on it, we're the fans! Problem is that Duke has become pretty unknown in the current gaming community, and that's a proven fact because somewhat my whole friends list doesn't know what Duke3D actually was.. Ouside our fanbase, Duke will clearly show up on XBLive as a 're-introduction' and I suppose you can imagine it's not that easy to consider buying an arcade game for 1200 you don't know about..

So please Microsoft, make this one 800 points and give this ravaged L.A. more population!

coolwickidninja · 09-07-2008, 05:11 PM

I wish they didnt do the points to me its sorta confusing. I mean with the PSN they just tell you okay this game is going to be $9.99 or $12.99. Something like that.

It's actually not hard to find out

100 Points = $1.25
400 Points = $5.00
1200 Points = $15.00
1600 Points = $20.00

coolwickidninja · 09-08-2008, 05:26 AM

okay its not that bad. It makes more sense to me.

Crazy Cholo · 09-09-2008, 07:43 PM

All i want is 800 but if its 1200 i wont mind i can get some duke gamer pics if they cost anything
