Who here is planning on buying this game? Those of you who work for gaming publications, how do the early versions play? Is anyone going to buy Vexx over Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Jak & Daxter, Mario Sunshine? Should anyone buy this game against such worthy competition?
It looks putrid. The gameplay better be damn good to make up for the worst character design ever.
I don't think I can do better than NZE's "putrid" for my feelings on the potential of the game.
vexx looks good but knowing acclaim they'll screw it up somehow.
Okay while you guys are doing you usual ritual of slamming everything Acclaim I have stood idley by as I could find no fault in your arguments. However this I do take issue with; How can you claim that to be bad charater design? Personally I find it cliched to a major extent, but certainly not "putrid" by any means. It's just a descent attemp to create a marketable charater that is kids find viable and entertaining. It's no worse than a purple dragon, or a wierd bunny/dog thing with limbless appendages, and certainly no worse than a goddamn gekko with a TV addiction. Give these guys a chance to get it on the market before you trash it because "Acclaim isn't cool, and thus everything they do isn't cool by default."
First of all, you're wrong. The worst character design ever goes to Blinx. Socondly, I think Vexx looks pretty good. I didn't even care to look into it until I walked into EB one day and they were running a video of it. I must say that after that I'm interested. I heard that they delayed it so they can make the levels smaller and more of them. What the fuck is up with that. The levels looked great in the video I saw. :bang:Quote:

By the way was this thread supposed to be a joke or something?
Rushout_Craptitles sounds like an odd choice for a name.
Sounds like a disgruntled PR representative to me.
I was thinking the very same thing.Quote:

I haven't seen too much about this game other than the demo video. It didn't stand out as something I am compelled to buy, or even rent.
That character design is pretty bad and it is thoroughly unappealing to me...... but IMO it's no worse than Jak & Daxter or the aformentioned Blinx if you compare it to relatively new high profile games.
Either way I am not interested in this game. Ho hum.....
Vexx's face looks stupid...
the rest of him looks kinda cool though...
...makes bubsy look kinda cool...Quote:
Why do I get the feeling that this is targeted to teh "OMG I LOVE LINKIN PARK AND POD LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR" set?
I'm waiting for the reviews. After E3, I was thinking about possibly making a purchase, but after buying the horror that was Turok, I think I'll hold out for some killer reviews.
I'm not hating on Acclaim. However, most of their releases seem to lack polish....or fine-tuning, for lack of a better expression. The fact that they haven't rushed Vexx is a good sign, but we'll see. :sweat:
I usually just read. Like GameZector and Tyler_Durden, I hang out on the video game stock boards at Yahoo. I post there with this ID or else rushout_craptitles_aklm. AKLM is Acclaim's stock symbol.Quote:

Many Acclaim stockholders believe that Vexx will sell a million copies. They compare the game to Super Mario Sunshine and even Zelda the Wind Waker, they seem to think it's an action-RPG or something. I've been trying to tell them that it will sell more like Midway's Dr. Muto or Haven, which sold a combined 7,000 copies in November and were instantly discounted to $29.99, and not sell like Nintendo's Mario Sunshine. This thread was to show the lack of interest in Vexx. Thanks.
Trouble posting? ;)
That said, I kinda like Vexx's design, but I think it deals more with the body shape and style of gloves and boots then it does freaky clothes. It's like a subdued and more controlled version of FFX's fashion designer.
I think he repeated himself for dramatic effect. ;)Quote:

Worst character ever is blobs of slime in around 99% of RPG's. WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THAT.
Well, I will rent it, when it comes out. Might be fun. Dont have a problem with Character desings. I agree that Blinx has it much worse.
No, I think Blinx is a better design. He's obviously a cat. I don't know what the heck that thing is supposed to be. And while Acclaim can release a good game, Aggressive Inline, they can not seem to release a game that isn't loaded with bugs and glitches.
If you hit gamefaqs, you'll find that almost no one cares about this game at all, no matter how good it may or may not be. Expect it to sell poorly.
I sought it out, and that is one fucked up little microcosm of a message board. Christ. You're little more than a troll there, but I have to admit that you're in the right. :PQuote:

Blinx is just a cat wearing cloths, nothing wrong with that at all. Vexx apears to be the first game to have a Retard as its main character. Just look at that jerk, what the hell is it supposed to be?!
Everything about it just screams "mediocrity".
I can't say how it will play, but Vexx looks like he/it was shat out of my ass.
I think you guys are being a bit too harsh. Vexx looks fine, not great, but not utterly vomitous either.
I've actually been looking forward to this game. I'll give it a rent before I buy it, but I'm still looking forward to that rent.
I played it at ECTS 6 months ago... really forgettable if only for the retarded running animation.
I agree that the naysayers are way too harsh. The character is a little goofy, but the presentation looks quite solid. In fact, the demos I saw suggest a very polished game (which is surprising, given that games with multiple, long delays usually end up as ass fodder).
Problem: I now find even polished 3D adventure/platformers to be rather boring, and don't wind up playing them all the way through. Oh well, I'm sure it's me.
played the demo, I was sleeping 2 minutes in.
Gamespot review of Vexx is out: 6.3.

Played this on the XBOX demo disk and I was later going to play the NEw Indiana Jones Game only to find out that I had mistaken my Vexx Demo disk for a piece of toilet paper and had wiped my ass with this putrid disk containing this horrible game. Amazingly the disk still played when I popped it back into my XBOX so I di get to play Indiana after all.
I played through Mario Sunshine, Sly Cooper, R&C, and J&D, so I'm a bit of a platforming whore. However, 45 seconds of the Vexx Xbox demo was enough for me. The game sucks ass.
Man, you guys are harsh. What's your problem with it? Okay, both the camera and the character designs are the worst in platforming game history, but I thought the fighting part kicked ass, the levels were fun, and the enemies were pretty cool.
I wouldn't buy it at full price, but for $20 I'd consider it at least.
