"debuting exclusively on Xbox One." is all they ever said..

played this on X1. It's utterly brilliant (IMO). Polished as all fuck and just great to play.

Much faster than expected! Thought it would be at least a year.
Was getting close to picking it up on Xbone, but I guess I'll just get it on PS4 now.

Story wise is more deep? More meaningful? Better than limbo's?

Lot's of cool and unique experiences this summer that I need to jump on. INSIDE, ABZU and Bound.
That's a tough question to answer. It's perhaps more mindblowing, unpredictable and surprising then Limbo... but Limbo's story is incredibly deep and meaningful.
Both are fantastic, along with Journey some of my most memorable brief games ever.

4 hours sounds great in a crowded August.
Was it an Xbone console exclusive at first or why didn´t they release this simultaneously?

Considering limbo barely had a story, inside provides a bit more to infer or assume from with a neat twist payoff, but it's still more focused on linear puzzle platforming and deathtraps for about 3-4 hours.
hi guys I just heard Inside was coming on August 23rd
On a serious note, that's a pretty quick turnaround, it only came out a few weeks ago. Still interested in playing it, though its Limbo pedigree is not nearly as much of a selling point for me as it seems to be for others.
And yet LewieP beat them all:

I'm down. Loved Flower, have yet to start Journey (pre-ordered PS4 version, still sitting on my HDD unplayed, I know slap me), enjoying ABZU, pre-ordered Bound, was indifferent with Limbo, really enjoyed Never Alone, so this seems to fit right in with those types of experiences as a nice break from traditional 'AAA' gaming.

I know almost nothing about this game, but like what little I have heard. I wasn't able to play Limbo due to my crippling Arachnophobia, can anyone tell me if I will have any problems with this?
Yes/No will do, thanks!

HOLY SHIT!!! i thought this was going to take 6 months to a year!!! I already played it with a friend on his PC...we actually planned to go out that night, but ended up drunk in his room discussing what the hell just happened in this game. It's incredibly awesome and i will gladly replay it on PS4

Nice. Wasn't expecting this so quickly - thought it was going to be XBONE exclusive for longer. Loved Limbo so I'm really looking forward to playing this.

has there been any mention of a vita release? I like to play these kinds of games on vita.

Highly recommended. Don't look up too much, don't get spoiled.
With the way it uses physics/lighting, I don't think a Vita port can be expected.

Ahh, okay. Thank you. I didn't realize that. I'm playing through Limbo right now on my Vita.
You shouldn't have any problems.
Depends. It has quite a few puzzle elements but it tends to progress through them quickly. There's no gimmick that you rely on for the entire game. I didn't like Limbo (I was late to the party and it kinda fell flat for me) but INSIDE is GOTY tier imo. It doesn't utilize any one puzzle mechanic for more than a few minutes iirc.

What's up PS4 bros, this game really is that good. It is about a 4 hour game but everything in that 4 hours is top notch, art, sound, animation, story presentation, controls, design... this game nails it all. I might end up double dipping because the game is awesome and I think the devs really deserves all the support and love I can muster. Inside is currently sitting at #1 on my personal goty list.
The only thing I will say is don't come into this game expecting anything to be explained to you. Pay attention to the details in your surroundings and how others react to your character and draw your own conclusions, this game does a very good job of showing but not telling.

Question, is it is, while a different experience, far more gripping than Limbo?
I was indifferent to Limbo after the first level. Played it to completion, but think something like Never Alone was a better overall experience.

No. No.

The puzzles never get as annoying as some of the ones in Limbo so you never get stuck for for long but it is basically the same style of game.
It's fucking gorgeous though and has some of the best atmosphere in a long time.
FWIW I thought Limbo was OK but loved Inside.

Why was I under the impression that this wasn't coming to ps4 until like next year? Maybe a bad dream.
Are you a fan of books portraying an oppressive atmosphere? Like 1984 or Fahrenheit 451? If so you should be able to appreciate INSIDE. It left an impression on me.

That's so early. I guess there was no timed exclusivity deal like everyone thought and thank god. Definitely going to play it as soon as possible.

Same feeling here. Limbo was a disappointment for me.
This needs to be a lot better to make it worth at that price, especially considering the short length.

That was fast.
Anyway, whoever didn't played it yet. Shut up and go play the game. Don't read anything, just go buy and play.

INSIDE isn't Limbo. Sure, it's coming from the same direction, but this game didn't feel anything like Limbo. For me Limbo was "an ok" game. But INSIDE hit me and many others hard. Maybe the feeling of difference comes from the story or the world. INSIDE's world just sucks you in (if you dig the setting) and is more concrete compared to Limbo.
INSIDE is beautiful, polished, brilliant, detailed, forward-going, surprising, thought-provoking, one-of-a-kind slap in the face.
I can't say INSIDE for every one, because no game is. But I feel that if you love games in general, buy this game. You shouldn't miss it. It's unique. Don't get spoiled in advance. There's no need to watch it from Youtube if you wan't to experience it in full effect. I bought it with only little prior knowledge, played it in one sitting, had my face blown off and here I am weeks later still excited about the game.
Either buy the game or just leave it and play something else. You can always wait for the price to drop but I say get it while it's hot.
