[edit] Xbox 360

I'm getting tired of people removing Xbox 360 as a platform. Please view the very end of this video before making any future changes. If you can't view it, this is the quote:

We're really excited about things like [Xbox] 360 Marketplace...we fully expect a console SKU of SiN Episodes to show up in the near future. It's probably going to be Xbox 360...it's going to happen one way or another.

Are we really going to be picky enough to have "Unknown next-gen console" in the infobox? We might as well not list the date. --Tom Edwards 16:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• I've seen the CES video, I've been following SiN development since the thing was announced. Even the latest interview at extreme players, they just mention talking to microsoft. It's not confirmed in the slightest, it's something that they're pushing for yes, but it's not like they've come out and said, "yes, console version is definite". I'd rather just wait until it is confirmed before putting it in the article. - Hahnchen 17:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
• And no, it would not have "Unknown nextgen console" on the infobox. It should just have PC, until they have something more solid announced. I reckon we will see SiN Episodes on the Xbox, but I don't think anything will be anounced until at least one or two episodes are released for the PC. - Hahnchen 17:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

"It's going to happen one way or another"? --Tom Edwards 18:41, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

But that's just an informal chat with Gamespot at CES. I reckon it'll appear on Xbox, but it's not official yet, I mean it's not mentioned on the SiN episodes official site nor the ritualistic one. - Hahnchen 19:38, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where you got informal from. He sat in front of a camera and gave an interview to one of the largest games sites around at a major trade expo. It doesn't get much more official than that! ;-) --Tom Edwards 08:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd rather remove references to the Xbox until Ritual do a press release on it, or at least mention it on their site. - Hahnchen 09:19, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

• It's been quite hilarious to watch the 360 get removed and replaced numerous times. I don't think it's been confirmed in the true sense yet though. It's just something they are extremely confident will surface. There have been plenty of other games that were announced on platforms that didn't make it out so I think leaving the 360 up is fine.--Nutcrackr 01:51, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Multiplayer

Will we be able to play online with other people in this game or is it just singleplayer?

Singleplayer at first, although coop and a multiplayer is planned.

Is there any precise date for the release of the Arena mode and MP? I heard that Arena mode is going to be released a couple of weeks after SinE:E, maybe a month, and MP would be released along with Episode 2? Is there anything more precise? How about the pricing? Will they both be free to SinE:E owners?

- Arena Mode was released as a free add-on for "SiN Episodes: Emergence" on June 26, 2006, and will be available out of the box for the German version, which will be released in Germany on July 20, 2006. Michael Russell (Ritual)66.180.121.115 19:30, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Added a couple of cultural references I heard in the game.--Mullon 00:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
