The problem is that Geo Wars RE2 was perfect. 100 hours plus of game time on my side. It is going to take utter perfection again to have the same impact.

Can anyone actually explain why it's different?
It seems, at the very least, the classic mode is in, but what are the differences that make people so sour on the game?
I just want to experience this IP, as I've always wanted to play it last gen, and it's finally on a PlayStation

Even though I have both systems, I think I'll get it first for PS4 (gotta have that triangle stage lol). I'll give my impressions of what I think of this game. Note that I'm a huuuuuge fan of Geometry Wars and played them all (even had Dimensions on both Wii U and DS).
From what I've seen, it's different yes, but it still looks really good. I mean honestly as much as I liked Geometry Wars 2, Geo Wars Dimensions had the right idea as well. Evolve mode is fun and probably the most played mode in every version that's came out, but do you honestly want to pay to simply play what you're already used to before? Dimensions switched it up, and added levels that behaved differently, and it worked. Geo Wars 2 added game modes that tested various skills, and it worked. 3 looks like it's adding new ideas and the game looks good with the 3D effects and 3 dimensional stages. I like the look. Besides the classic evolve mode is still there so I don't know what the fuss is about.
People that played it said they are disappointed but I also remember how much humans hate change, so I would take it with a grain of salt until I've played myself. I guess we shall see the 25th midnight.

Is that really the "exclusive content" for the consoles, advertised again as exclusive on Steam but together? Yet another nebulous exclusive wording. Can't complain that both of the content level are there for pre-orders I guess, but then it sucks that you are limited to one on the consoles, for no meaningful reason

I've never pre-ordered a digital game before but this is Geometry Wars 3 we're talking about. I am BEYOND hype and will pre-order it now. Probably will pre-order on both systems.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Deadline, Classic, Waves, King and Pacifism are coming back, right? Those alone are worth the money. 10000000 hours of playtime. Countless hours of sleep...lost.
Even if single player and the change to 3D isn't amazing, you still have the core modes that made GW2 simply perfect.
I just saw that MajorNelson streamed 35 minutes of GW3 yesterday (You can't hear him talking until the 3:50 mark, btw):

Activision reaching deep into the IP library.
No no, Steam has one of each -- not all of them.
There's no way to get all of the levels in the game at this point.
Ah. thanks for that

I remember Geometry Wars being the first really good games Xbox 360. And that lasted until Table Tennis came out.
It was a strange time to own an Xbox.

I believe I heard somewhere it has a classic mode. If that's the case I'll grab it day one!

They kept the up beat techno (Deadline's remix sounds awesome). They kept the same twin stick shooter aspect. They brought the drones from Dimensions. They gave you the majority of GW2's modes. They gave you classic mode back. I fail to see why some people are having problems with the 3D aspect. It's new and fresh to the series.
Geometry Wars Dimensions changed it up. Geometry Wars 2 greatly changed it up. Now 3 is changing it up for the third time. It's not even bad change either. Looks fun and more like a part 3 and not Geometry Wars 2.5 like a lot of people seem to want to pay for.

Activision or Sierra? I thought I saw Sierra when I added this to techingames.net ...
Game looks good but the info on what is in the package exactly is quite tricky to find proper info on.

Activision owns the Sierra brand.

Ah. Weird to use that brand as publisher for this game though!

So any news/reviews?
I am really curious
I know there are spherical worlds akin to Super Stardust, but hell, I'll take that it as I loved Stardust
