Crazy that this made it. Brilliant but crazy. Happy for all the guys at Harmonix.

 

[Agent X]

Good going! I'm happy to see the goal was met. I look forward to an awesome Amplitude revival.

 

[Corto]

Dave Lang should get in a plane and return to the USA STAT.

[Septimus]

Yess more Barkerville lol

 

[Darknight]

link to live stream??

 

[Lord Error]

Hooray we did it! I'm ecstatic this got funded!


Me neither.

At first I was bummed about a Vita version seemingly being out of reach, but there's always remote play and that'll be good enough for me.

Good luck playing amplitude at 30fps. :/

I think I have a pretty big crush on Gianna now. I wish she'd put the sombrero back on

They really need to reconsider putting it on the Vita. The only way the PS3 or PS4 versions will be playable is if you hook your PS3 or PS4 up to a CRT. If you try playing any game like Amplitude on a large LCD television, the input lag will DESTROY it. The game is so much better suited for the Vita due to the OLED's low response time.

The calibration stuff they had in Guitar Hero and Rock Band worked pretty well. Should be fine here too.

 

[Superflat]

YUSSSS!! Good work everyone involved!!! Incredibly happy about this.

 

[Takao]

Me neither.

Playing a 60fps rhythm game downgraded to 30fps with input lag? That's rough.

 

[mclem]

Glad its still 21 hours just in case.

We're past the 24 hour mark; it's now impossible for people to withdraw funds if it will send the total below the target.

It's safe.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

 

[metsallica]

Has there been any other kickstarters where stretch goals were announced after the funding goal?

Imagine that, huh? Not being presumptuous! In the early days of KS (pre-DFA) that's how they all were. I much prefer that approach, to be honest.

 

[FaintDeftone]

Pretty stoked about this. Can't wait to play the game.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Wow, can't believe they did it! Massive congratulations to the team, talk about victory from the jaws of defeat!

 

[bananafactory]

It dropped back down?! Didn't someone say you can't pull pledges once it funds?

EDIT: I can't read...saw 783 as 773 -_-

Keep it going!

 

[Quasar]

Really happy to see it funded. Surprised though. I figured console only doomed the thing.

 

[Neuromancer]

Better than nothing lol. I'll just play on easy!

 

[Sami+]

Thrilled it got funded. Online multiplayer is the only stretch goal I really, really want to reach now.

 

[makingmusic476]

Hitting its mark early deserves the creation of a Vita stretch goal.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

What happens if near the end, all 3 people who donated 10k back out?

Very, very few people actually make fake donations of that size. Even fewer would pull that amount. If they can just drop $10k, it's not like they are hurting for cash.

 

[Y2Kev]

Then don't fret because it won't be in the game!

Quick! There has to be a millionaire on GAF! Get the stretch goal!!

Yeah but I'm not interested in online multiplayer

.

 

[Spiegel]

Good to see it funded but very disappointed with the stretch goal. I don't think it's going to entice people to throw money at the kickstarter now.

 

[Dragonborn]

I honestly can't believe it got funded. Great news and really great turn around.

Proves the "if it's not on PC it won't get funded" crowd completely wrong

 

[besada]

Heh. I'm sitting here with my cat, watching the stream, and GAFfers are all over the chat. Thanks to all you guys who pledged, especially you crazy wonderful people who never played the original.

 

[bananafactory]

Yeah I have to agree. They should realize that is just too much of a longshot and just go for something cheaper and more reasonable

 

[Neuromancer]

I feel like GAF contributed to this Kickstarter's success in our own unique way. Good job everyone!

 

[waitwhat42]

The twitch stream chat is hilarious.

 

[makingmusic476]

*raises hand*

 

[Flambe]

Yeah never played Frequency/Amplitude/RB Blitz before but loved all the plastic instrument games and the Barkerville tie-in with Giantbomb pushed me over the edge =p Will be cool to see it come out.

 

[LurkerPrime]

This seemed so unlikely, I'm legitimately surprised that this Kickstarter succeded. The Amplitude fanbase is filled with some dedicated fans, for sure. It's also nice that Harmonix didn't sacrifice their ideals to get the game made; Republique's 180 in that regard left a really bad impression on me.

Congratulations to you, Harmonix & Amplitude fans. I hope your game is great!

 

[PAULINK]

I called again ._.

lets not congratulate them yet until the game is out.

 

[Espada]

I can't believe this is real. Amplitude is getting a follow up on the PS4.

Wow

 

[Kyoufu]

I can't believe this is real. Amplitude is getting a follow up on the PS4.

Wow

Now I feel bad for not having played the original.

 

[Arc]

*raises hand*

Me as well. The hype train swept me up and then some. I love music games anyways though.

 

[bobawesome]

I was sure this was sent out to die.

 

[Dead Prince]

Now I feel bad for not having played the original.

i saw it at best buy when they had a ps2 section but never bought the game. because i thought it was shit.

 

[B.O.O.M]

so almost half the games initial goal just for the online component? LOL

 

[Gunstarheroes]

I just re-beat Amlitude on Insane for the first time in years out of excitement. Subculture still wrecks me

 

[GSG Flash]

Definitely getting this game on PSN once it's out.

That stretch goal is pretty terrible though. I too would prefer a Vita version.

 

[Vire]

Guys, there's gonna be a new Amplitude on Playstation 4.

I feel like I'm in bizarro land.

 

[Synless]

Hey Harmonix, your welcome!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Good luck playing amplitude at 30fps. :/

I thought it was going to be 60? But as long as it's playable I'll live.
Good job HMX!

 

[Shaanyboi]

So crazy that it made it. I love big Kickstarter turn-arounds. Last great one was Hex Heroes. Now this. Hell, this is even crazier...

 

[Dead Prince]

I thought it was going to be 60? But as long as it's playable I'll live.
Good job HMX!

remote play on vita is limited to 30fps.

 

[Guess Who]

The bigger problem with Remote Play on Amplitude is gonna be latency.
