View Full Version : MS to publish Steel Battalion in Europe (Capcom)
Microsoft has today announced that it has entered into a deal with Capcom that will see Microsoft publishing Steel Battalion in Europe in the spring of next year. Exact European release dates and pricing for the game--which can only be played using a specially designed controller with 40 buttons and switches, two joysticks, a gear stick, and three floor pedals--have not been announced at this time.
"Microsoft Game Studios is pleased to be publishing this title in Europe," said Sandy Duncan, VP Xbox, EMEA. "It is an extraordinary game which really demonstrates the scope of what can be achieved using Xbox hardware. Capcom is one of the most respected publishers and developers in the industry and we are pleased to be working with them so closely on this title. We believe Steel Battalion will push the boundaries of gameplay to an even more realistic level."
"We are very pleased to be working so closely with Microsoft to publish Steel Battalion in Europe," said Shigeru Ota, president of Capcom Eurosoft. "Our partnership demonstrates Microsoft’s continued commitment to Steel Battalion, to Capcom and to the gaming community, by supporting such an innovative title. Their support ensures that European gamers can buy Steel Battalion at the earliest opportunity and we believe that Steel Battalion will be a totally new experience for gamers worldwide."

Its not that capcom will be bought by Nintendo. Its that they have only announced games for GC since E3. Or at least not many games for other systems. I havent really kept tab.
I think its just a ploy for capcom to save money. Because it certainly wont be the largest seller.
Whatever, doesnt really affect anybody...

You are such a moronic fanboy. You should really think seriously about whether or not you are worthy to live on this planet.
If you are so freaking biased about stupid videogames, I would hate to see your views on the world.

what the hell? All I said was that M$ was probably announcing this to tell people that Capcom isn't being bought out. How is that Biased?????:confused: If any other people thought of what I said when they heard this, speak up! This isn't that biased.
So, we have the AM thing on PS2, and now this?
I think Capcom's just tying up loose ends. ;)

Who are you trying to convince? Others, or yourself..................?
JOKE! I've always wanted to say that :D.
It's good to see the game will come out earlier in Europe because of this new publishing deal.
GamesRadar said that though the game is as hard as hell, it's still very immersive.

Wait, did Jonbo just say something about Microsoft?
Funny... I didn't hear anything...

i honestly dont know why you do these things.
he says something about MS. you blow up.
it makes you sound like the MS fanboy, not him.
(note, im not saying you are, im just sayin when you do this, it makes it sound like you are)

Null, if you were to pay attention to Jonbo's posts in the XBox forum, you would realize that Joeiss is justified in what he said. Jonbo rarely ever passes up the chance to insult MS and in fact he does so whenever possible.
I have simple decided to ignore any comments he makes about the XBox (hence my previous post) as his obvious biases against MS taint any opinion he may have. While Joeiss may take a different route than myself in that repsect, I can't say I don't agree with him.
i know of his posts.
but im not sayin anything about him, or his past posts.
im simply saying to me, if someone absolutly blows up unneedingly over something as small as what he said. it makes that person sound like the fanboy because he can stand to hear anything negitive about it.
just IMO, FYI, whatever you want to call it.
im not actually calling anyone a fanboy. for i never have. ;)

So just because he has biased opinions about 'stupid' videogames, he should question his life on this planet?
I'm sorry Strangler, but Joeiss's reaction was NOT justified based on Jonbo's post in 'this' thread.

If you expect me to believe that everyone should be taken on a post to post basis, then you expect to much of me and are yourselves hippocrits. NO ONE judges members on a post by post basis.
Jonbo's continued negativve campaigning against XBox is not unlike water torture. At first it is tolerable but the constant build up eventually makes you enraged. If he were to ever say anything the least bit positive or even neutral in his posts instead of just injecting venom into this forum I would not care. But he doesn't and never will because he IS a fanboy, and as any of you who know me know I do not use that term lightly.
I believe Joeiss was justified and my opinion will not change, and if can't see that then you both have your blinders on also.

I know it wasn't justified. Hell, it doesn't even make sense. I was just doing it for fun. lol.
Whether or not Joeiss' reply was justified is a matter of opinion. Although it was a tad inappropriate. I'm sure it won't happen again.

Thanks a lot Joeiss. I'm the only guy who gets your back and you stab me in mine. Thanks a lot.:p

No problem, lol
Oh, and it will happen again.

Just to clear up the comment I made. The only bit of biased'ness in that whole post was me saying M$ instead of MS. That was one of my more Neutral posts. And plus, I dont always say biased things against Microsoft. They do have a good OS and whatnot. But I just don't like XBox because it CAME from Microsoft. But lets TRY to keep on topic now, lol. I think I have the final say on what I said.
