This looks like exactly my cup of tea, I'll buy as soon as I can on PSN!

 

[Noogy]

Kinda looks like Trine gameplay. I hope it's a little tighter then Trine. It was a good game, but the controls were sloppy.

I'm finding it infinitely more tight than Trine. Trine also drove me nuts with it's floatiness.

You'll never get rid of floatiness with physics involved, but Capsized feels very good. I never feel like I'm fighting with the terrain.

@Stallion, why are the small pictures linked the OP. The ones from the official page seem better .

Also game is looking great, wondering why its not coming to 360/PS3 (yet).

@Noogy
Do you know if the final game was still build with XNA?

 

[Noogy]

@Noogy

It is. It'll prompt you with the standard XNA install that other titles like Magicka used. Interestingly, it prompted me to install 3.1, but since I have 4.0 and was afraid it would screw things up, I cancelled. The game still ran fine, though. Just something to think about.

 

[Salsa]

Would be nice to get a quicklook, btw

MS is a cunt when it comes to putting stuff on XBLA now (publisher BS).

PSN is down.

PC is indie dev heaven.

Well it seems getting a game on PSN is even harder than XBLA. But all this exclusive on one platform BS is annoying anyway...

Anyway considering its an XNA game porting to PSN might take a while anyway... (if ever).

Nice edit .

 

[Snuggles]

Looks neat.
Obviously I'll be getting it on the PC but the PSN version would be tempting with Move support since it seems like it would be a great fit for this game.

 

[MoFuzz]

Trailer looked promising and the music was tiiiiiiight. Will definitely see how the demo plays.

Excite +1

But the thing about this possibly being PC exclusive is that no one paid them to do it, it was probably just their only option. Blame the cunts who run the other two platforms.

That's pretty obvious (sadly :/).

Seeing that is an XNA game, they have XBL indie channel as an option, probably it wasn't a profitable option...but well...

I think if it does Magicka numbers they might get some more publisher interest. That game has made millions on the PC.

400 MS is worth what 5$? Poor devs (with an awesome game).

The guys might not want to have to use a publisher though. That requirement seriously sucks.

 

[heyf00L]

I can see why the Braid guy said he only put detail on the places you can get to. It's rather distracting in the screens and video to have so much detail all over.

 

[desu]

One can only hope that MS will one day get better with this ... oh wait ... I am loosing touch with reality here, forget what I said :|.

 

[SapientWolf]

It's not a requirement. They can self publish but it makes it much more difficult to get a greenlight and pass cert, especially on XBLA. MS prefers to work with publishers with at least one release on the platform.

 

[Snuggles]

It doesn't look that demanding, anyways. Anyone with a PC should be able to play it unless they're still on Windows 98 or something. Of course, no achievements could be a deal breaker, since they are integral to the enjoyment of a game.

Last I heard, getting on XBLA full-fledged (not the indie channel) requires a publisher or MS to publish it.

Yes that, and if MS publishes they pretty much want exclusivity ... (all or at least consoles).

 

[Salsa]

Surprised local co-op isnt a selling point. No one's even talking about that, could be cool i guess.

[nincompoop]

WTF @ the requirements. Is XNA just a really shitty/bloated toolset? There are PCs below those requirements that can run Half-Life 2 maxed out!

 

[Salsa]

Here's hoping it doesnt randomly stutter like Magicka

 

[desu]

But the game has achievements!?

 

[elohel]

has gaygaf gotten on lee yet?

 

[Snuggles]

But the game has achievements!?

I was just joking, but I meant 360 achievements since they do determine a purchase for some people. That's the last we'll speak of that, though, look forward to teh demo.

 

[EricHasNoPull]

Any chance we'll see some reviews of this game from popular gaming media sites anytime soon?

 

[desu]

There should be a new trailer today, nice!

 

[Flying_Phoenix]

This game looks great! I'm just not sure if I want to spend $10 bucks on it, I guess I'll wait for a sale.

This.

I am way too broke right now.

 

[FuKuy]

Let's hope for a demo... But the game looks definitely very nice. The art style is outstanding.

 

[Salsa]

Let's hope for a demo...

Confirmed to have a Demo coming out

 

[Lumine]

One of the main reasons I'll probably be picking this up later today when it's up. Though I might wait and read some impressions of it first.

 

[Haunted]

Its pretty cool to see Seth Rogen and Ethan Hawke doing something different and becoming game developers

My first thought was Ryan Reynolds, but Ethan Hawke is pretty good too.

 

[trinest]

Looks interesting, I'd play it.

 

[Shaneus]

Anyone else get a Subterrania vibe from the visuals? I totally dig it.

 

[scitek]

James Van Der Beek's eyes.

 

[Moobabe]

Got my review copy through this morning and, between eating and the Royal Wedding, I've managed to squeeze in an hour or so; looks amazing, handles well (though probably better with a pad), no slowdown, at least that I noticed though I'm not especially sensitive to that stuff. Would definitely recommend this so far.

 

[taoofjord]

God, I get so annoyed at how cheap gamers have become. $10 for a game like this is perfectly reasonable.

 

[A.KU.MU]

Trailer?

 

[Stallion Free]

Trailer?

Did you look at the OP? Click one of the images under trailer...

 

[DesertEater]

How come that there is no pre-order for this game on steam? Anyway, I'll buy this as soon as I get back home : )

Edit: The game is out!

 

[Salsa]

Game's out. 9 bucks for now, no demo in sight (sure itll go up eventually).

Im thereeeeee

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah, fuck waiting for the demo, I bought it too. I fucking loved the intro and the music is top-notch.

 

[Carm]

I snapped it up as soon as I saw it was available to be purchased a little bit ago. Played around in the first level a bit, really like how the game feels. Only issue I saw was the world scrolling when walking around isn't smooth, it stutters, which is disappointing, probably won't bug most people though. Really love the music so far. Haven't tried it with a controller yet, hopefully it translates well. I didn't care for Trine on the controller and this controls somewhat similar to that.

 

[Adam Blue]

I'm curious if this is really a Metroid-style game, or just level-based with some exploration. It looks like it could feel like Super Metroid.

Level-based with light exploration.

 

[JADS]

Solar Fields really fits the overal feeling of the game, no new material though (Mostly some stuff from Movements)

 

[Stallion Free]

Here's the art from the menu, great stuff.
