Re: err.. are you sure?
Posted By: Narcogen <narcogen@rampancy.net>Date: 7/13/06 6:42 a.m.

In Response To: err.. are you sure? (c0ld vengeance)

: I have loaded a savegame and then played the game through loads of
: checkpoints before I turned the XBOX off without using "Quit and
: save". I then re-loaded that savegame to start from the original
: checkpoint that I first loaded.

: From my experiance, the checkpoint only saves to the xbox once you "Save
: and Quit" or finish the level.

I concur-- this is the behavior I always see, and so the question as asked made sense to me.

For instance, if I start Cairo Station on Legendary to get the Thunderstorm skull, I quit and save just before I get the skull.

When I continue from my saved checkpoint, I start the level just before the area where you meet Keyes and I have to backtrack to the skull.

However, I can play through that level for a long time. If, rather pausing the game and choosing "save and quit" from the menu I merely shut the Xbox off, when I restart the box and choose "continue" again, I will start again from the area near Keyes and the skull-- even if before shutting down I had advanced much further and passed other checkpoints.
