E3 2008 and Comic-Con

by

Our friends over at Gamespot had a chance to check out Castle Crashers yesterday for the first “official” day of E3 2008. They only had enough time to make it through part of the first level, but hey it’s better than nothing.

Some things to point out from the video, that some of you might have questions on:

  • Experience is based on the number of times you actually hit the enemy.
  • CPR — When you’re in a local or multiplayer match and one of your friends gets killed you can go over their body and perform CPR to revive them, and yes it’s pretty awesome.
  • When you level up your character you receive stat points that can go into the four main attributes of the game: Strength, Magic, Defense, Agility. In addition this you unlock more melee combos as you progress to higher levels.

In other news, we have Comic-Con coming up next week and we’re all going pretty crazy trying to get everything ready for the show. It’s going to be a pretty crazy time as our booth keeps getting more intricate and amazing every year. If you’re in the San Diego area on July 24th-27th please come by the San Diego Convention Center and visit us at Booth# 5029. We’ll have Tom Fulp, and Dan Paladin there providing free hugs, seriously just ask they love that stuff.

  1. one more thing sorry for the double….. but she doesnt really understand the words co-op…..”so im gonna hit you, can i hit you?”
    “no you cant its coop!”
    “see i just got the arrows, b is to shoot”
    “if youre not paying attention can i get hit by an arrow?”
    awkward silence……. man goes offscreen, comes back and hits her over the head with a chair

  3. instead of getting cc today we got double d dodgeball… wtf? i wasnt expecting cc today but double d dodgeball wtfh! k mabe next week, i liked the video though.

  7. c\’mon momo, it is too far anyway, that\’s not summer 2008 i found that out in the last post that IGN was totally inaccurate

  8. We are well aware of the inaccuracy of that timer, just because those of use who show a lot more faith have known this since about 2 days ago. Momotaro is rather really slow or not as faithful as most of us already talking in these blogs almost every day, or most likely didn’t read a lot of comments in the “Red Army +1” post (at 100 comments also), which is understandable.

    Hard to believe that woman was bugging you people. My sister’s 10 times worse, and I don’t go around telling her to shut up and make sexist, stupid comments about her. Live a little, she could be worse. A LOT worse. 🙂

    I agree with “.”, about how long after giving AH to XBLA, how long until you found out the release date?

  9. That IGN release date refers to the last day of Q3 2008, which is their estimated release.

    Castle Crashers is part of a Summer Xbox Live Arcade lineup that includes galaga legions and Geometry wars 2, all of which will either be released this month or next month. Where CC fits into that schedule is still being decided by Microsoft.

    Its release could tie into it’s showing at Comicon next week or it’s release date might be announced then with any luck. It’s unforunately out of Behemoth’s hands at this point. Xbox has released CC’s features list which means it has jumped yet another one of Microsoft’s Certification hurdles. Huge feature list by the way.

  11. wow. this game looks simply amazing. i cant wait to get it. btw, once you beat it is will there still be stuff to do???

  14. Having said that, http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/891/891282p1.html.

    They said during the conference that Geo Wars 2 would be out next month, if CC doesn’t come out before it that’d be a huge slap in the face for everyone who’s been waiting for this game for 2 years. But the FFXIII announcement shows the MS knows how to use it’s Pimp Fist.

  15. Afro Thunder nice info, hey look at this, a lot have most likely already have seen it, but heres a lil castle crashers ad on http://thebehemoth.com/ on the left of the post. what happened at e3 today i didn’t get to see…. link to good parts pl0x?

  16. That means it will release prior to September 21, 2008… so it coming out on sept 21st. Noooooo! what the hell! 2 more months! correct me if im wrong pleeeze! X(

  17. sorry 4 double post but does it will release prior to September 21, 2008 mean it will come out before September 21? (forgot what prior meant -.- )

  19. yes it does, prior is like, umm…… around, by the time…….. like
    “I will have my cupcake prior to lunchtime”

  20. chicos, I asked this question in the previous addition to the site. It is something that IGN presumed, and if it was correct, emil or danp would tell us, right? Wrong. They haven’t handed out a release date yet. So hope for the game soon, it should be here sometime this summer.

  22. GOD DAMN IT SHUT UP BITCH I DON\’T NEED YOUR COMMENTARY ON THE SIGN-IN PROCESS

    “OH LOOK, WE CAN PICK DIFFERENT-COLORED DUDES HAHA OMG I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS GAME WAT HAHA I WANNA BE THE RED GUY”

    “DID YOU HIT A YET? I HIT A GIGGLE GIGGLE XD”

    this game looks fucking amazing. I\’m contemplating buying a 360, mostly for this game.

  23. Well guys bad news….looks like that gay ass game “go go break steady” is going to release next week alongside 1942: joint strike. Microsoft hates us. -_-
