XBLA: 'War World' Still Coming To Xbox Live Arcade
French achievements website Succès Full have updated their achievement lists with a brand new set - for long time coming game War World.
Previously the game had some achievements released beforehand, via X360A, however the list was early, and mentioned 15 achievements with 243 Gamerscore instead of the normal 12 achievements with 200 Gamerscore. They also did not find images to go along with each achievement, while Succès Full do.
A few months ago I was also able to contact Third Wave Games, the developers for the game to see if it was still in production. They replied swiftly:
"Yeah War World has been a bit delayed. It is really tough squeezing so much graphics into the 150MB limit we have. Everything in the game is fully normal mapped and looks as good as a retail game so it has been a struggle to get it all squeezed in. But we did it. It is now up to Microsoft and Ubisoft exactly when it will be released."
So the game is actually complete - it's now up to Ubisoft to actually release it. It was slated for release last August. Maybe one day it will get out of limbo.
Comments
Yeah, they basically said the exact same thing when I mailed Brodersen some months ago.
Good news regardless.

No registration required for SuccesFull.fr and you can replace the "fr" in the url by "en" to see the achievement list in english.
Thanks.

hmm so they were complaining about size restriction, now with it being upped maybe they needed time to decompress some of the textures and that... hopefully the wait has made a better game

Succesfull.fr requires registration for seeing brand new stuff - once it's a few days old it's fine ;)
As for the size, even being upped won't make a difference - the game has been done and dusted for many many months now.
