The lights are on
Update: The Xbox Live version of Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 will now come out at a later, undisclosed date due.
The delay is due to a memory card issue that occurs when you pull the MU out while it's saving (who does that, anyway?).
The PC/Steam version will still come out June 25th.

Original Story: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 is coming to Steam and Xbox Live Arcade later this month. Here's a look at the game's first trailer.
On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 is a 16 bit throwback to the turn based games of yesteryear, such as Final Fantasy V. It will retail for $4.99 on Stream and 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live, and promises to bring with it that well known, Penny Arcade sense of style and fun.
Loved the first 2, reckon this one is going to be good too. Cannot get over the disappointment of 16 bit graphics though, I just don't see the appeal, the first 2 weren't exactly ground breaking but they were 1000 times better looking than this.
Looks fun.
I recently picked up this developer's other games: Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII. Both pretty good, especially Cthulhu.
I get that there's a certain aesthetic appreciation to be had for the low-res pixels of "16-bit" visuals. But keeping the art style and instead using smooth, hi-res sprites would be nice. No, it wouldn't look like a high-color version of a SNES game, but that'd be alright.
Ultimately, though, I wonder if this new developer is going to be able to deliver the experience I ended up enjoying a lot from the second game. Or maybe even improve upon it.
Like the 8-bit look
Nice, looks like it has a class system, I love those.
I thought it was coming to Xbox Indie? I'm guessing that's the delay.
I'll get it on steam, already played Cthulhu, but I don't got it on PC!
What about PSN **BRAAAHHHH**?!
That's too bad
not bad...not bad
"The delay is due to a memory card issue that occurs when you pull the MU out while it's saving"
Seriously? Delaying the Xbox version for this?
"Derp let's pull the MU out while the game is saving, maybe something bad will happen!!1!11"
Pretty sure ALL games have an issue regarding this...
Think I'm actually going to wait for this on iOS.
