System Link is loosing territory

Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2004 10:49 am

It's not nice to see that new games have support to Xbox-Live and no System Link. Maybe the $$ of Xbox-Live are a major priority now. Sad

It's really a problem for me, because i live in Portugal and Xbox-Live is not here. I have to purchase a foreign licence to play it and be aware of higher pings. Evil or Very Mad

Here's the small study i've made to support this.
Regarding the new releases on August, September and October fom the source xboxaddict we have:

8% Games only with system link
12% Games with both System Link and Xbox-Live
80% Games only with Xbox-Live

Here is the list only with system link:
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 - Black Arrow
Street Racing Syndicate

Here is the list with both System Link and Xbox-Live:
Star Wars: Battlefront
Tron 2.0: Killer App
Outrun 2

Here is the list only with Xbox-Live:
ESPN NHL 2K5
Pro Fishing Challenge
Rapala Pro Fishing
NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup
Burnout 3: Takedown
Fable
Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
Vietcong: Purple Haze
NHL 2005
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005
SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos
Colin McRae Rally 2005
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Mortal Kombat: Deception
NBA Live 2005
ESPN NBA 2K5
Robotech: Invasion
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders
Fight Club
Men of Valor: The Vietnam War

I'm talking about new games, not the supported ones...
The main reason of this thread is to find people who can make pressure to have more system link games, not the reverse.

Quite of few of those "Live" games dont really support multiplayer, like say, fable for instance.

Plus there are a few there that I thought was going to support sys-link like Men of Valor.
