Holy hell they're going to make it aren't they?

Yesssssss

 

[FLEABttn]

I'd like to put my name in for the vinyl giveaway. $100 level here.

 

[chrominance]

Agreed, Frequency had almost no bad songs. Amplitude has quite a few cringe-inducing ones, but the highs are REALLY good(Shades of Blue).

My favorite Frequency track was Higher Ground.

Never played either game, but looking at the tracklist for Frequency: oh my god yes, so much better than Amplitude. At least the Spotify playlist they posted as an idea of what they've been inspired by for the new soundtrack looks good! (Also now I wish there was a Marnie Stern song in Rock Band.)

 

[driver116]

I mean, this article is positive (I think?), but man that fucking headline makes my blood boil.

Polygon

Spoiler

e mad

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I mean, this article is positive (I think?), but man that fucking headline makes my blood boil.

Of course Kuchera wrote it.

 

[vgamer1]

What actually got me into the series was the free game thread here on GAF. Someone mailed me a sealed copy of frequency and a copy of amplitude for free!

SO CLOSE!

It's Polygon and Kuchera, what else is there to expect from them.

 

[Sp33Demon]

This thing looked dead in the water a week ago and they are only $45K short. It got that much in pledges just this morning (I'm US East)!!! Just upped my pledge to $40.

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

Haha, Polygon changed their layout - their front page used to just be "Harmonix fans may be funding a flop" without the "and that's fine by us" addendum.

 

[xeris]

Upped my pledge from $20 to $40. Don't really care about the extra two weeks. I just wanna see this thing get made.

 

[TheShampion]

Just got in on the 35$ tier. You can do it! I BELIEVE IN YOUUU!

 

[djplaeskool]

Over 730k.
Hype train ain't got no brakes.

 

[red731]

That PS tweet brought the pulse back, what say you? I say it did!

 

[Foshy]

oh god. is this really happening? holy shit.

 

[Spiegel]

Might be time to put up that stretch goal...

Yep.

C'mon Harmonix.

 

[Bundy]

That PS tweet brought the pulse back, what say you? I say it did!

Yeah, seems like it!!!
Go go go go go ^_^

The Freezepop song in Frequency was god-like. You get to press buttons to π! You need to play Freq, like, now.

 

[Dead Prince]

hmx tweeted someone wrote a fan fic for amplitude.. http://crossclassgeek.blogspot.com/2014/05/aces-of-stasis.html

oh. it's just ben. move along.

[Tsundere]

Holy shit it jumped 10k in like.... 30 minutes?!

 

[mclem]

I mean, this article is positive (I think?), but man that fucking headline makes my blood boil.

Well, given the reasons that Sony isn't funding it, I don't think it's strictly inaccurate.

I'd put my name in for the vinyl, but with a caveat that I wouldn't use it, I'd only want it as a collector of cool gaming stuff. If that's a no-no, I'm happy to withdraw.

 

[LX_Theo]

It'll make it at this rate.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

To all the non-believers

 

[nampad]

I never thought this would even get close to the funding goal. Good luck everyone.

 

[JonathanEx]

Looks like they wisely opened up a few more of the 10k things, which is where some of the boost may have come from.

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

I think we're safe here folks.

I can perhaps unclench my buttocks.

We did it.

 

[Lesiroth]

One week ago I was saddened this would never make it.
But now...

I want to see some stretch goals, come on Harmonix!

 

[Matush]

Wow, what a comeback, they raised like 300k in past 5 days.

 

[TheKastorian]

You're going to make it guys!

 

[hawk2025]

I do wonder how many people signing up for the vinyl giveaway actually have a turntable... but I suppose it's somewhat fair to want it as a collectible or something?

 

[AgentChris]

Wow, Harmonix did it!

 

[Jonnax]

I mean, this article is positive (I think?), but man that fucking headline makes my blood boil.

That's such a tabloid style headline. I thought The Verge and Polygon were trying to go for the whole Broadsheet Modern Chic styling thing.

Wow, Harmonix did it!

Dude. I thought they actually passed 775k when you said that.

 

[StealthGoblin]

Glad its going to make it.

I was a doubter but good on them.

 

[Sage00]

Would love to put my name in for the vinyl. $125 level here.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

[happening Intensifies]

 

[guitarhero]

Little over $40k to go with 26 hours left.

I want to ask HOW THE FUCK WAS THIS POSSIBLE? Like, what did I miss between Sunday and Wednesday?

 

[Bundy]

One week ago I was saddened this would never make it.
But now...

I want to see some stretch goals, come on Harmonix!

Me too, man.
I thought we lost already, but now..... wow!
What a roller coaster ride this was ;D!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Was going to post this because of the dread this had before:

But now its time to:

 

[PAULINK]

I hope they allow you to use the dpad this time around. Been intensely playing brutal mode and the l1, r1, r2 configuration doesn't cut it anymore, can't do it. Not to mention it's going to be really awkward with the ps3/ps4 triggers.

 

[Dead Prince]

when can we expect another livestream? i was going to say a 24 hour stream but we only have under 45K left. so 6 hour mark? get the party started and a chat after its funded tomorrow.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'm so happy about how this is turning out, I want to hump everyone.

 

[Raistlin]

would have done the $35 tier, but it's all gone


did $20

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It'll make it at this rate.

I hope so. A lot of times, people back out last minute, or payments don't go through. Let's hope there's no major downfall there.

 

[BillGaitas]

Wow, didn't think they would pull it off. Well, it ain't over, but I think it's pretty clear that they will reach their goal. By the time it ends it could be at 900k, who knows, at this rate anything can happen.

Something about that wouldn't sit right with me - using a Kickstarter campaign funded by regular people to prop up their console. Unless they just pay tribute to it and commend the campaign and Harmonix. But I wouldnt want to see it be used to sell their brand when they didn't fund it

Nothing wrong with that, a list of indie games that mentions this game benefits both parties and it seems to be standard practice for Sony at the moment.

It's not as if Sony aren't involved in it, it's their franchise and their game and unless Harmonix already have the contract they're still within their rights to not let this happen.

It wouldn't make any sense but Amplitude is still Sony's game and it won't happen without them.

Over $733,000 now...so close, I think it might kill me if it didn't happen!!!

They feature games "backed" by large corporations, half a dozen people, and the whole gamut between the two.


Why not something backed by 10,000+ people? It can only help the game. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this.

 

[Acquiescence]

That turnaround of fortunes. There's a special song for comebacks like this.

 

[KingJ2002]

backed it... hopefully it goes through.

 

[ByakuyaEXT]

Im so pumped.
We are almost there

 

[IAmRandom31]

40K to go with 26 hours left?

They got this
