for this kind of experience i prefer wipeout HD with music

 

[IAmRandom31]

Can't wait looks like old school simple fun. This and The Witness will be amazing to get through the post season hangover

 

[jackissocool]

I keep forgetting I'm getting this for free this month. Remember, backers: we get it December 23rd!

Only if you backed at $40+.

It was a nice little incentive to those who backed that high but I do wish they gave those of us who backed lower a week early or something.

 

[5taquitos]

Finally! I remember how stoked I was when the KS launched, and I'll be playing it in a month! Can't wait!

 

[pixellated_man]

Just put my ps2 copy of amplitude up on Ebay for sale in preparation for this. Never got round to playing it on ps2, even though I had it on my backlog for ages.
This does look to be an improved game though and with the added multiplayer co op and competitive modes and more importantly (for me), online leaderboards, I'm sure I will not neglect this as much as I did the ps2 version.

 

[Conduit]

One of the backers ( not 40$+ ). That game had one hell of a day at the end. Those final hours....

It was a wild ride my friend, but we did it. The average backer amount and seeing people increase their pledges 4 or 5 times was crazy.

 

[xzeldax3]

Too bad Anamanguchi seems to have fallen through. Here's hoping it shows up later on. I also hope that the PS3 version gets released by summer because I really want to play!

 

[0racle]

YEEAAAAAAAAAAAA ! Cant WAIT.


this is the first game that had me develop an entirely new way to hold a controller in order to play a game efficiently.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

oh cool. i backed this once upon a time

 

[RyanPierre]

Hmm? Wipeout and Amplitude aren't even in the same genre. One is a racing game and the other is a rhythm game.

I backed at $100 and I wouldn't mind. I want as many people to be able to play this as possible.

I really hope this goes on PS Plus at some point to expand the audience. I assume they'll be doing music tracks as DLC, and they might be better able to afford/justify bringing in bigger artists if the potential DLC-buying player base is big enough. I'd love to see repeat (and new) tracks from bigger artists like BT, Weezer, and Garbage.

 

[oggob]

I don't see it being a PS+ title, I don't think they would have announced the price if that were the case... Wouldn't care though...

As someone else mentioned I'm more interested in getting the theme, hope that just won't be for PSX people

Early Christmas presents are the best!!!

 

[MasterChief'edUp]

Wtf is this tracklist?

I was looking forward to this. So much.

Original Amplitude on PS2 was so great because of the music, because of Blink 182, POD, Slipknot, Weezer, Run DMC.

When did this become a techno/trance game?

Disappointed...

This, Uncharted (at least a couple years after launch), and No Man's Sky was the only reason many of us had to purchase a PS4 this gen and look what happened...oh crap...f-ing sad!

[dangerskew]

So excited to play this. I paid $125 for a $20 game and have no regrets.

 

[Effigenius]

I wonder how would backers feel if it was PS+ game in January. Its releasing on the first tuesday of the month, it may be reaching, but we've already seen Broken Age on PS+.

Broken age wasn't day one, was it? I think it was on PC for a while first? I'm fine with it eventually coming, but day one should be for backers and paying customers.

 

[SmiteOfHand]

Backers are supposed to get it 2 weeks early. Do we know if the Jan 5th date is the general release date (and backers will get it around Dec 22nd)?

Didn't see anything else about this so was curious and did some lazy "investigation". Looks like early access backers will in fact get it next week. It is a holiday miracle! Not that I am surprised, I mean it was a reward after all, just good to get confirmation it is happening.

Exactly one week until the early access backer launch! What are you going to dive into first, Campaign or Quickplay?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/harmonix/amplitude/posts/1431413

Backer Early Access Starts December 23rd!

Kickstarter supporters who backed at the $40 tier or higher do not have to wait until January 5th to get their hands on Amplitude. Those backers will receive the game two weeks earlier, on December 23rd.

We’ll have more information on how you’ll receive your codes closer to that date. Stay tuned to our Kickstarter updates for more information!

 

[Neuromancer]

One more week

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

OMFG yes

 

[31GhostsIV]

Looks great!

EDIT: FirstTtuesday of Jan... any chance of this being a Plus game?

Oh god thank fck this game doesn't have any of the artists you mentioned (besides maybe rdmc)

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My first backed game delivery!

 

[Darksol]

Will they email our codes? I only backed enough to reserve a digital PS4 copy.

I would never back the game if I thought it would feature any of those bands. Thankfully they did not return

Edit: double post. My bad.

Sometimes they email them, sometimes you have to go to a 3rd party site and create an account or use your KS credentials. Either way we'll get instructions soon.

 

[5taquitos]

You'll be able to play Amplitude using the FreQuency-style tunnel tracks!

[gcubed]

i played this at PSX a few weeks ago, so awesome. Can't wait to get my code in a few days

 

[TMC]

Definitely looking forward to this. First game I ever backed on Kickstarter.

Nice!

 

[Dead Prince]

2 more days until the code is mine.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I backed it. Can't wait to check it out.

 

[Phamit]

Well, in my opinion they should atleast try to sell it normally at launch before putting it on PS+.

In the end they should do, what makes them the most money. But I don't know if there is a benefit to put the game on PS+ at launch compared to putting it on Ps+ sometime after launch

[GamerJM]

Oh man, I forgot I backed this for 70$. @_@

This fixes my major gripe with the jump between frequency and amplitude. The others would be how they slowed down the gameplay and added bogus tracks from artists they could slap on the case to sell units.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/12/21/amplitude-on-ps4-playing-it-frequency-style/

Yes yes yes! This is everything I wanted. It's the reason I always preferred Frequency's gameplay over Amplitude. So happy the tunnel is back!

 

[Darknight]

Just wondering something. Some of the higher backers get an exclusive track? If so, will that be purchasable to other people via dlc? Or no?

I did the $35 tier with free $20 credit or such.

 

[Bear Force One]

Kickstarters get it this Wednesday!!!!

Ah it's $40+ KS'ers. Ah well.

 

[Dead Prince]

Keep in mind, only those who pledged at $40 or higher will be receiving early access. Those who backed at $100 will also receive an exclusive beat blaster, Twista, and exclusive track, Do Not Retreat. Everyone else will receive access when the game launches on January 5th!

Aw yeah!!

Was watching Kinda Funny play this a few hours ago, really pleased to see that they included a FreQ mode.

I know it's not going to happen, partly because the tracks don't work like that, but I would love them to somehow link it up to the Spotify app so you could play whatever you wanted.

 

[Olli128]

Never heard of this, looks interesting. Is it coming to Vita as well?

FREQUENCY IS BACK MOTHERFUCKERS

This is going to be the perfect thing to chill with after the holidays

How the fuck are you supposed to go between paths? Never played this game, but that part looks frustrating as shit. Like, as soon as he switched to a new path, there was a beat already passing him.

You learn the songs and the best paths/order to keep as many tracks going at the same time. It's great.

That was incredible. Glad they did the Crypt of the NecroDancer song, that kicked ass (the remix of the song, not that the guy failed it 34% of the way in, I mean).

The blog entry says you have to beat the campaign before it becomes an option.
