toptenmaterial Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have recently bought two new games: Sonic Generations (360) and Rayman Origins (Vita). When I show them to friends, I'd like to start a new file so that they can see the intro films. But that isn't possible, as only one save state is allowed at a time!! I don't get this. Do they expect people in the same household (such as my girlfriend) to buy multiple copies of the same game?!? I sure hope that this doesn't represent a growing trend! WTF!!! There. I feel better now. BTW, the new Sonic and Rayman are both excellent games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could in fact keep a "guest" gamertag on your 360 and just start a new game under that gamertag as well just to show someone an intro or whatever. Not sure if this or something similar could be done on the Vita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptenmaterial Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 ^^ Does this require an internet connection and a paid subscription? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No... the 360 does not require internet access for offline play. That's wacky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I meant for setting up a guest profile!! You can make another profile just like you made one for yourself and your girlfriend. All you need is a valid email address different from the email tied to your other profiles, there is no cost involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the SNES days, three saves on a cart... Yeah, for setting up a profile... you can do it 100% offline. It'll be a local profile.

Pengwin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have some DS games that only allow one save per game. It's a royal pain when my son wants to play the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 No email address needed for local profiles on the 360. I've set up several on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was your reason for setting up so many profiles if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly for nieces and nephews when they come over so they can sign in with their own name since none of them have XBL accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
