The Release Date of P.B Winterbottom

By: Xander

On: January 15th, 2010

As reported today by the ever lovely Destructoid, The Misadventures of P.B Winterbottom will finally be released on the XBLA come Febuary 17th for 800MS points, which is probably something like $10. As I understand it the game is good enough to be deserving of any quoted sum. Regardless of your stance currently though a demo will naturally be released on the same day so if you aren’t happy putting down the money straight away then be sure to check it out then!

The one major grievance is that there doesn’t seem to be any news of a PC release. Given the amount of XBLA titles we see make the jump to PC, with relative ease too, it’s rather disappointing. Still it’s been a long road for The Odd Gentlemen and I’m glad they’ve finally reached the end of it. Expect impressions come release day.

800 POINTS? THIS IS A TRAVESTY. IT SHOULD BE 1200 POINTS. I WILL BUY IT 1.5 TIMES IN PROTEST.

The music is absurdly sweet (like pie).

Sounds interesting. I’ll likely try the XBLA trial version. But I’m trying to wean myself off of my M$Box 360 and get my focus back to PC gaming where it belongs. So for now I’ll silently hope for a near-future PC release.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this though, to be sure.

Yay, I had no idea whether or not they were going to finish a full version, so this is great news :) Congratulations Paul and the rest of the Odd Gentlemen!

Did anyone else read this post with an aristocratic English accent?

800 points is too much for a game with this little content there are so many games you can get for free that are better than this so im not paying that for this game

Just kidding. Glad it’s finally about to be released.

Just got home with the new Gameinformer in my mailbox – 4 page feature for Winterbottom! Crazy success story – they kind that so many people dream can happen to them.

Congratulations on completing the game! The Game Informer article is great news as well.

$10 is a really good price. The artwork looks amazing and you can tell that a lot of work went into it. I can’t say the same for VVVVVV, which just looks lazy and uninspired. I’d be happy buying this even for twice as much.

A PC port is definitely not outside the realm of possibility.
