Over the weekend we had some friends over to really try the four-player game. We learned a lot and the to-do list grew accordingly. Here are some pictures:
Note the crazy cyberpunk nightmare on the right… the Tablet PC is what CC was running on, but it only has two USB ports, and we had no standalone USB hub, so we had to use the built-in one in that bottom monitor, along with a PS2 PC adapter (which allow two Dual Shocks to connect through a single USB port). This way we managed to get two wired Xbox 360 controllers, and two PS2 Dual Shock controllers going on the same laptop.
The great news related to this is that Microsoft has finally released their new wireless PC adapter for its regular wireless controllers that come with the Xbox 360!
With this, you just have to plug it into a single USB port on any windows machine, and suddenly you can connect up to four wireless Xbox 360 controllers, for the perfect Cortex Command multiplayer setup! I wish we had one this weekend; it would have made half of that mess to the right disappear. Alas, our orders from Amazon didn’t arrive in time.
Finally, here are a couple of short videos from the weekend. The first is from our local test at Data Realms HQ, and the other is from our tester Nate Sabanski and his friends’ LAN party up in Canada. Good times!

Playing games through projectors rocks!
but with my laptop, it wouldn’t be worth it…

Data i founds a bug:
I’m playing brain vs brain against my brother, any way when im in MY buy menu it shows his amount of gold instead of mine. But still spends my gold when i buy something.
juggz i get that too sometimes.
Yeah that’s a known bug, going to be fixed
Couldn’t see a freakin’ thing.
if you dont mind me asking: what are you talking about afroded???
i think he means he cant see whats going on in the vidio
o_0 That’s the punk nightmare!
Maybe I’m missing something,but im not seeing a vid from data
Wierd…. the site was down. Nice new build data 🙂
The TV was too bright. I suggest that you record directly from the TV (if possible(I don’t even know how to do it)) Then it would be easier to see.
MUST GET VEHICLES…………………..DATA!!!!!!!
sry about my overobsession of the previous subject i wrote.
(i meant vehichlies)
lol, u were right the first time. vehicles.
hey Data, please fix whatever is messing with the gib particle physics, it’s quite un-fun to fire an rpg only to have the explosion come right back at you 🙁
Dude you have a my space for your cats that is so cool :D.
Hey the game also works great with PS3 controllers, I just did a quick Google search for the drivers. Keep up the good work!
Is there any modifications for land vehicles out there?
Do normal USB controllers work for 2 (and 4) player? If yes, thats, awesome
