Shacknews – Xbox Live Arcade Update
Ahh, so here is the unofficial confirmation that Geometry Wars is indeed coming to the PC. We just had to wait for Vista! duh.
They are missing a great opportunity though for not letting the PC version access the Xbox Live scoreboards to really create one big GW community. I guess there were either technical difficulties (I cannot image) or nightmares about cheaters/hackers (I can image) when this decision was made.
It was ofcourse a situation of not if, but when this was going to happen. The heated debates about the availability of GW-clones for the PC were of course started because Bizarre knew they were going to port the game to Windows and they did not want to lose their future customers.
[sarcasm mode on] And there we were, thinking they wanted to protect their IP, ”innovative gameplay”and their ‘graphical uniqueness’.

I was never asked to pull my clone Grid Assault from the internet but I think that is because it is time-locked and not given a definitive release… We’ll see what happens once the PC version of GW is released.
Any chance you will ever release a version without a timelock? I was having so much fun with that game, and right as i beat my top score, the game reset
I have to say, you really did a fantastic job though. Grid Assault is awesome.
The full game doesn’t have a time lock
Buy the full game. You get what you pay for.
I was talking about grid assault, not geometry wars.
OK, I get you. I left the time lock in there to avoid problems with Bizarre. Now the game is officially released for PC (only on vista though) it would not be wise of me to release an unlocked version. Sorry, but that’s the way it is and that is what I meant with ‘you get what you pay for’. I will not be revisiting the Grid Assault game.
