Hoopworld

Nino · March 21st, 2006, 12:03

The one Arcade game I'm really excited about is Hoopworld. It's Streamline Studios first game. Streamline previously worked on small parts of Unreal Tournament 2004, Ghost Recon 2 and other games but untill now never did a whole game themselves. The past 5 years they've been working on Hoopworld, an arcade basketball game that reminds me of a mix of Powerstone 2 and NBA Street with a good punch of Xbox Live gaming. The game is set for the first half of this year if I recall correctly.

Small gameplay footage

There isn't much info on this game but that'll change very soon

. Anyone else excited?

It definitely has it's own unique style so i'm really curious what the game will be like

Game looks fun, but what the hell are you supposed to do in the game because I don't understand shit of it

Nino · March 22nd, 2006, 11:24

It's an over the top basketball game. You're supposed rank up your teams points by doing tricks and those tricks are added to your total score when you score.

Curry · March 22nd, 2006, 12:41

I guess it's just me that doesn't understand the link between basketball and a bunch of screenshots that look like a Sonic platformer

Yeah, Power Stone was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Good to see that they're pushing things forward graphically on Arcade, finally a game that doesn't look like a downloaded Java app, hopefully it'll play just as well too :thup:

"a good punch of Xbox Live gaming" - this is going to be a multiplayer Arcade game then? Excellent

Nino · March 25th, 2006, 19:37

Yup, 3 vs 3 over Live

Nino · April 10th, 2006, 00:48

I can now confirm that this game rocks!

Rival24 · April 10th, 2006, 01:13

Let's just wait for the demo

Aift · April 10th, 2006, 18:04

This game looks like it is going to be massive ammounts of fun too play. I wouldn't mind spending hours and hours playing this game....

As far as I can see now.... Two thumbs up!(Sorry but you guys don't have a post icon that has two thumbs:p)

yadayada

I am definately interested in this game. I am going to download this game, the very first 10 minutes it gets uploaded to the Xbox Live Arcade. Streamline Studios must have some experience coders, to make this game fit in the 50Mb file limit.

Curry · May 14th, 2006, 13:00

Well 50Mb isn't that small

kidkit · June 20th, 2006, 23:25

If you like Powerstone so much have you looked into Small Arms? that game looks awesome!

YouTube Video of Small Arms

Wow thnx rocking video

I already liked the game from our previous coverage but this video really makes it look like mad mayhem

kidkit · June 20th, 2006, 23:59

Hehe, well I suppose there was a link to that youtube video in the original article. It's One of my more anticipated arcade titles though, along with Mad Tracks, this (hoop world), and heavy weapon.

Curry · June 21st, 2006, 00:37

Already seen the Mad Tracks developer is right here on the Xboxic forums?

I never cared for Xbox-Live arcade untill I saw this game on the front page. Ever since I've liked arcade and been waiting for this, when is Hoopworld out?
