XBLA: Vigilante 8 Arcade In Certification, Achievements Revealed
It's been a while coming, but Vigilante 8 is in the last throes of development - Microsoft certification, to be exact. While Activision's testers have rigorously gone through the game and combed through it - it's now up to Microsoft to make sure everything is in order, including the TRC / TCR / TRG tests - which make sure you're following strict guidelines.
Ever wonder why, when every PlayStation 2 game mentions the memory card, it's written as "Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)"? That's why - only the equivalent for Xbox 360, obviously. Can't release a game without that.
"Having watched the game undergo numerous TRG sweeps at Activision QA over the past three months, we are confident it’s in a very solid state by now. We’re anticipating one re-submission at the most to obtain certification, but unfortunately there are no guarantees. Remember, a release date cannot be secured until the game is approved."
Along with the update, there's also the full achievement list for the game. One achievement asks you to collect all 100 'Alien Artifacts' in the level to unlock a secret craft. Sounds like Y the Alien will be making a reappearance.
