Anyone experienced what the leader boards, ranking etc on live/psn end up looking like when older classic games get a wide spread release ala Nights HD? Is it going to be a clean sweep of nid.com people or do you think there will be surprises? Maybe better players from other countries?!

I've got a feeling we will see a bunch of new players top the leaderboards. This will be the first time that anyone can submit their scores from around the world, and whenever I check out leaderboards on XBLA or PSN it always amazes me what people can achieve. The amount of competition will be more than we've ever had before.

Yeah, there are always some super-hardcore types who blow everyone else out of the water. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a decent number of community regulars in the top 100.

I hate to be all pessimistic and stuff but as soon as I saw the thread title I immediately thought about hackers. I remember when SEGA Rally Online Arcade first came out and everything was fine at first. Trying to beat people's scores in Time Trial mode was pretty addictive but then one day came the invisible ghost cars and impossible time gaps and that's when you knew the dream had died :(

But still, it would be great to have one in the game. In fact, it wouldn't make a lot of sense for them not to put one in. As deep as the NiGHTS universe goes the games are still centered around chasing scores.
