Okay guys, listen up. I've been asked by the In2 Marketing, the organizers of this year's Malaysia WCG2008 to ask on whether you guys are interested in participating in this year's World Cyber Games 2008. They want to know what's the response like for console gamers.

As you know, there are also Xbox 360 games in the competition, but we need to find out how many Xbox 360 players here own these games and whether they're willing to take part and compete among other players to represent Malaysia at the WCG2008. If you have the following games, please mention it in your post and state the games that you're willing to compete in.

- Project Gotham Racing 4
- Guitar Hero III
- Halo 3
- Virtua Fighter 5

Also due to the difficulty of sourcing for Xbox 360 consoles for the competition, would you guys mind bringing your own console to the competition? I know it's a hassle but since Microsoft Malaysia isn't focused on the Xbox 360 here, we will need to improvise. In2 Marketing says they can at least arrange for monitors and speakers, so all you have to do is bring your console and controller. What do you think?

I strongly believe that the console gamers in Malaysia can put up a good fight against other players around the world. The response at last year's Consoul 2007 was fantastic, and I believe this year's community of Xbox 360 players is even greater. If we can pull it off, we can show to Microsoft and other gamers that the console gaming community in the country is live and active. Malaysia Boleh!

EDIT:: Sorry, my line was down over the weekend so I wasn't able to update the list.

List of players who want to join (or people who have expressed interest) so far:

Halo 3

im in.

my frens are in.

my family is in.

my deadgrand grand grand father mothers are in.

so please make it happen!! PLEASE!!!

PGR4? interesting

thing is you have to be over 18 right?

If you're below 18, you'll need your parents to sign a parental consent form.

As mentioned before, we need to know which of the 4 listed games you have (PGR4, GHIII, Halo 3, and VF5) and which games you're interested in competing in. So if there're a lot of, say, Halo 3 and Guitar Hero III players who want to compete, then In2 Marketing may hold those competitions.

Yes please In2 hold xbox360 games for us this year. I don't mind bringing my own xbox.

What kind of minimum number of gamers are they looking for?

If they have Forza2 or COD4.... maybe... hehehe

Right now, they're gauging the interest for Xbox 360 game competition in the WCG2008. I'll check back with them later for the minimum number required to have the competition. I think we can gather a fair amount of players for at least Halo 3.

Nope, sorry. Need to be one of the official Xbox 360 games as decided by the WCG committee.

I'm interested in

Halo3
PGR4

Guess the chance of making it happen is very rare since not much halo3 n pgr4 kakis in our community.

who needs team when you can pair with

ARMY OF TWO !

GUITAR HERO 3 FTW!!!!!!!!!

Only if they have COD4.

PGR4,i might consider that.

we gotta bring our own consoles?

that's lame of in2

that's like saying, "yea we want more exposure and more people, but we aren't gonna pay for it,"


i realize alotta companies are being really stingy morons and exploiting consumers now.

Just like that stupid "Kingston's HyperX Girl Design Contest " i saw on the frontpage a couple of days back.

"We don't wanna pay for our advertising campaign, so we'll just ask the people to do it for us"

brutally honest..but i agree.

The thing is that the WCG may change its stance and even though we have to bring our own consoles. We finally have a shot at the world circuit.

im interested in Halo 3 for sure
could you check what are the playlist/game types they are setting up?
i could look for a team
when is the competition going to be held then?

You have to understand that since Microsoft does not officially support the Xbox 360 here in Malaysia, then it's very hard to source for units to be used in the competition. Not many game shops are willing to sponsor that many consoles either, not even Gamer's Hideout. And what happens if something happens to the unit during the competition? Who will take responsibility? Even during Consoul 2007 players had to bring their own consoles. And I don't see anyone slamming Jason, Bobby, or Eddy over it.

In general we need about 6 - 10 consoles. Doesn't sound like much but if more games are being contested, then you'll need more consoles so that the games will run faster. Imagine having 50 players sharing 6 consoles - for sure the matches will take ages to complete. More consoles = more matches run at the same time. If everybody bring their own console to compete, then it should make things go smoother. Don't have to worry about settings or what, since they all use the same hardware.

For a contest to happen, we need at least 30 - 40 players who want to compete per game.

Another thing to look at is the fact that 3ROD can still happen at anytime. Profiles shouldn't be a problem, but if ur thinking of having 6-10 consoles, i suggest the number be doubled for safety precautions.

Wish i could join for GH3, but i believe i would need to have a 360 then only i can join eh?

30-40 players?
no problem whatsoever.
i guarantee you if you make a list now, it'd be filled up by the weekend.
lets start? after this post, Ruff Bark use one post to edit and list down names k?

my gamertag : DaidZz4LiFe

Huh are you sure ? 30~40 ? Active Halo 3 nowadays like less than 10 .

what happen if something wrong happen to our console? are u all willing to replace it with new one?

PGR4 ftw !!!!

P.S- someone havent return my game yet

active yeah maybe, but if people who HAVE halo 3 are willing to play,
im pretty sure the list would fill up very very quickly

Halo 3 :

Syujisy
Firearms
Breakthru
Mavetan
Jaylike

we dont mind bringing our consoles...
that is a big no problem
really want this WCG2008 to happen

come on guys ditch other games and play Halo 3,PGR4,Guitar Hero 3 for awhile...
just make it happen once and following year will be bigger!
and think of Microsoft might just have some thoughts on bringing xbox360 officially to Malaysia if this event is successful.
if In2 needs people to run the event,setup,marshall anything can just ask the people here, i can be the first one to say i can if they want

This post has been edited by Syuji: Mar 28 2008, 09:04 PM

For Halo 3 to happen, we need at least 8 teams since it's a 4v4 format. Most likely Slayer type whether they follow MLG rules or not I'm not sure

This post has been edited by scpt: Mar 28 2008, 09:34 PM

i can't believe this year no Gears Of War, damn

exactly.

In2 wants the audience, but doesn't want to be responsible for anything else.

I'm very sure if your console is broken or stolen, you're pretty much on your own.

The only reason I or anybody else didn't "slammed" Jason, Bobby, or Eddy is because the size and purpose of Consoul 2007 was nothing compared to what WCG is.



There's a difference to bringing your console to a LAN party, and bringing it to a large corporate marketing event.

This post has been edited by Gurdian: Mar 28 2008, 10:11 PM

Hey Ruffbark, loong's friend here,you know me de.....petition for xbox360 games ah....these 2 would have the most welcome:

1)Guitar Hero 3(Hell yeah,I wanna participate this one)
2)Halo 3(You should see the number of Halo players in Malaysia,quite a large number)

I really hope that this petition will be successful. To bring our own Xbox360,it would be no problem because I'm quite sure the community will do anything to show Microsoft that here in Malaysia,Xbox360 is definitely LIVE!

Come on guys,spread this news on LIVE. We still have a lot of time to prepare,make this thing happen so that Xbox360 can be officially launched. Notice the word "can".

This post has been edited by Mr.Pikachu: Mar 28 2008, 10:51 PM

Dang, if only im good in Halo 3 and GH3... never play those games..

Sorry getting abit old, when is the Malaysia WCG?

People, join up not for the game you like but for the local xbox-scene!!
If you are racing nut, join - Project Gotham Racing 4
If you are rock star wanabe, join - Guitar Hero III
If you play anything FPS, just join - Halo 3
NVM about this, not gona happen - Virtua Fighter 5

Join to support the event, not to win!!! Every year we could only look at Singapore contestant but can't do shit because we can't even send anyone to compete with them. That's very gay in my book.




This. Need. To. Happen. NOWWW!!!! Whoever join i treat them one teh-tarik.

Support! Who knows, your next favourite game will be in the list for the next 5 years and so forth?
Pull rabbid labbit, Djinn, ed1001 & Ahbiao also...

can i come with my 360 or do i need to bring all those games also??

xbox260?

agreed! unfortunately it won't happen so count me out of this

ps-say no to Halo3!

no GOW ehh
if yes than i will join
not halo 3 kaki here
even kepala can pening like during halu 3 big screen last time

Maybe you can start recruiting Dante & Latios.
Number counts you know....

Who else. Marauderz, Yoroi, Mobiiii, Hamster, kean...

selfish!!

this is about the big picture but not about the game itself, don't you guys used to promote our community to other countries? maybe this is our chance make it to the big stage and who knows later MS will acknowledge and setup an official service hub for xbox & 360?

but seriously, Halo3 is pathetic in malaysia man...even though this is a big game in world wide.. and i really don't think it will happen and we need to bring our own console and best part is, we need to rent it out to the rest...omg! and imagine every time you finish your match you have to plug out everything and pack it up...lol! guess everyone will need to bring backpack to put their consoles.

i know wat u mean jay but as for me now, happen or not i dun care anymore.i have better things to take care and think of.

and IMO, In2 should be the one making efforts to provide the consoles not the player themselves. i believe they have the budget to do it. i've experienced it b4 already...same goes to u jay, u should know wat i mean here

Reporting for PGR4, sir.

I would like to suggest to In2 to abolish the rules where a player can only join a single game. Can't ditch NFS, man.
Meanwhile, are we fighting for tickets to Cologne? If we are, then it would justify to bring over our own console IMHO. Just make sure the security is super tight. I lost my camera at WCG.my 2005, still cannot get over it.

No need to fight2, just give your support if you believe it's worth it. Each of his own.

Virtua Fighter 5 instead of DOA 4? i taught DOA 4 was the main fighting game for wcg all along?

you left out paanjang16 bleh...

pfft dante starts yapping in the tournament area and here comes a flying chair at his face

mean lah you Dante is a good HALO 3 player what.

Hmmm, so many games that I dont know how to play. Oh well, SIGN ME UP FOR ALL even i know i will sux at it ! guitar hero ! PGr4 ! Virtual Figther 5 ( button mashing time ) , Halo3 ? ........

whats the point of being good when u have a uber big mouth which only speaks nothing but shitty stuff
define good with a sucky ass attitude

okay....

So you going to bring your 360 to support a WCG leg here in Malaysia??

sighh whatever guys dont fight

This post has been edited by daidzz: Mar 29 2008, 10:57 PM

Wish there's a mute button in real life.

Slap 'em in the face = mute.


..but ya, don't turn on each other la. It spoiled the purpose of WCG. Is like every country join Olympic but then at the backyard they are waging war at each other.

that happens alot more than some people think...

WCG..honestly though if it does help to take my comrades to the WCG finals..im in.

yea cool will be there
hope theres any good team or players to make something up for me

then u can start tapao me one
since i will be playing PGR4 if it happens

You PGR4? ROFL.
Anyway you got 360 mer? PGR4 game disc isn't gona work with your pokemon gameboy.

im using a super haxxor 360 emulator right now which works on nintendo ds
thus my life is complete just by using nintendo products

You give me one of those kick ass British Microwave dinners, i will bring the masses

Yes I don't wanna ditch NFS too. NFS rox man!

Im in.
Yes i will.

I Support the Xbox 360 Console This year.
Hopefully this will changes Microsoft minds about "Malaysia" as the Black Market country and Malaysia will have their own Xbox Live..

yeah i wont ditch NFS as well
the main problem is actually if IN2 lets gamers join multiple games
probably a 3 days event will be much more better than a 2 days like last year

First post updated with list of players who have expressed interest or want to participate. If you want to join, state the game(s) that you'd like to take part. Thanks!

The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted.

This post has been edited by Breaktru: Apr 2 2008, 02:18 AM

hands down
opposition won
bn supporters cant participate
someone spam msg everyone to vote summore

Game marshals should be chosen by In2, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Remember guys to post your intention to play and participate in the games you want to see happening in the tournament, or are these all we have for WCG?

put me in for
Halo3
PGR4
GH3 - need to bring own guitar???

count me in jk

well the thing is, not every single x360 gamers in msia knows the existence of this thread
probably IN2 could post this at their website and hope for a better response
in other news,


i guess the love for x360 games needs to wait for awhile =\
sauce: http://my.worldcybergames.com/

Note the word "Tentative".

As I said before, if there's enough demand or players for a X360 comp to be held for a particular game (e.g. Halo 3 or Guitar Hero 3), then it is possible that In2 may have it. We still got time until the prelims and Finals, so it's not too late.

This Sunday at Gamer's Hideout, I'll poll the GH3 players and ask whether they want one or not in this year's WCG.

This post has been edited by Ruff Bark: Apr 2 2008, 02:22 PM

marshall? dnt want la be marshall.. dnt get paid one.. no thanks

since when marshals dont get paid? o_O
nobody is willing enough to do charity marshaling unless they have a hidden agenda

hah? huss_wuss till now they haven't paid you meh?

Lol, there seem to be alot of beef between the peepz here with IN2.

Anyway i am wondering say if this competition does take off, and someone won Halo 3. Will IN2 send them over to compete or this is like one of those Dota tourney held in WCG MY last time...just for fun?

got, they paid me wit empty promises and false hopes..

haih.. syuji & i ride the same boat...

the winner also wont get paid

dota was never an official game for WCG in the beginning
whats the point sending them to the grand finals?
well lets say somebody wins an xbox 360 tournament for WCG msia
and IN2 doesnt wants to sponsor them to the grand finals
the champ do have the rights to self sponsor to the grand finals
best example, singapore

we could form an independent all Malaysia tourney...

State by State

and finally the finalists would come to KL and duke it out...hey its a dream

fuah until now?

ps-i forgot which company is this

modded console can join or not? oopss

a wrong question to ask

im sure he knows that. was just a joke

I am sure we have paid everyone of the marshals & crew last year. I do not know who you are but please do NOT simply post "allegation" like this in a public forum!

thx

so? what you want to do about it? please double check with your HR before you waste your precious time posting in here.

and don't think i don't know who you are.

FYI, I've had enough with In2 Marketing's sh1tty empty promises and most of the ex-marshalls/players that knows me knows that i have issues with In2.

This post has been edited by alkt: Apr 4 2008, 02:50 PM

fwah!!! ur cat lepak on top ur console and look, the fur are going to get stuck on ur ventilation at the back there

0wn3d

I taut the person who didn't pay Huss & Syuji was Blake aka labbit?

yea even if it's Blake...did i ever accuse In2 for not paying the marshalls or crew in this very thread? you be the judge my friend

3rod console can join or not?

IN2?

Sorry for asking but who are they?

Btw, its possible for those xbox360 fans who doesn't hv xbox360 2enter the competition? I'm sure there are others like me who wish 2join but haven't purchase xbox360..haha (Some of the forumer know i don't hv xbox360 lol). If there's chance 2participate, I would like to join Guitar Hero 3

Dalam dua?

or if you read carefully (hint: 1st post!) in this thread you'll know

Ah so IN2 are the...uh...the..

wait a minute what the heck?

So some of us bashing IN2 and ironically enough IN2 is the only ticket to the wcg??

Damn thats...ironic
