So it's only during the AS Game then? You can't use them outside of an AS Game?

I guess not, since they still haven't given us the option to edit the shoes.

Angers me too, but Steph, said it makes a bug in the game when you edit the players.

Vigilante 8: Arcade announced for XBLA

V8: Arcade is a remake of the classic V8 series of vehicular shooters by Luxoflux/Activision from the late 1990s: Vigilante 8 for PS1/N64 (1998) and Vigilante 8: Second Offense for PS1/N64/Dreamcast (1999).

V8: Arcade is a brand new re-imagining of the original themes and gameplay, engineered from the ground up for today’s hardware by the original founders of Luxoflux and V8 developers. Could things get any better?Absolutely, because quite soon, the magic of V8 car-combat will be available to millions of Xbox Live Arcade users via digital download, presented in cutting edge audio-visual splendor, and… at quite an affordable price, too!

In addition to local split-screen mode, multiple players will be able take their car-crushing skills online, competing and/or teaming up with other V8 players the world over!

Players will rediscover the joys of weapon-based off-road car mayhem by savoring the following features, currently being cooked up at the ‘labs’:

Five newly designed, highly interactive arenas, using Bezier patch technology for maximum surface smoothness!
Eight gorgeous, highly varied ‘70s vehicles, rendered using advanced metallic shaders at 10,000+ polygons each
Classic V8 character personas and unique special weapons
Six standard weapon pick-ups with three advanced attacks each, featuring both ‘classic’ (combo) and ‘casual’ (charge-up) input methods
Multiple collectible power-ups and ‘salvage points’
User-customizable car paint color
Advanced car physics for hyper-semi-realism and ultra high replay value — easy to pick up, difficult to master!
Spectacular pyrotechnic, destruction effects, and physics-driven interactive hazards
Single player modes against advanced bot AI
Local split-screen modes up to four players
Online multiplayer with up to eight human players
Voice and (hopefully) camera support
Leaderboards, achievements, unlockable secrets, and more!
Free and premium extra downloadable content planned...

The game is currently slated for April 2008 release.
