Originally thought this was Xbox exclusive, seems not, hopefully some nice haptic integration there.

 

[amigastar]

Waiting for the reviews to come in. Looking forward to the game.

Edit: Reviews looking good.

 

[Greggy]

8/10 from IGN

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Superb thread

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Beaten by a split second on reviews

 

[AV]

Holy shit, it turned out okay? Great news. Next game for me when I have time after a house move.

 

[elliot5]

[Gameplaylover]

I got my weekend game.

 

[kanjobazooie]

I can't believe it's finally coming out. Glad it's getting great scores.

 

[Roberts]

It's not an xbox exclusive, but only Xbox gets a true current gen version.

 

[jaysius]

It's hard to believe this started from a fig crowd funding campaign, it looked like vaporware for ages, it's great to see that it's finally being released.

 

[Roberts]

It's hard to believe this started from a begstarter, then they needed another crowd funding campaign, it looked like vaporware for ages, it's great to see that it's finally being released.

MS money did the trick.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

So those early preview impressions (a month or so ago) where a few sites said the controls felt off have been addressed?

there is not PS5 version, so no haptics

PS4, Xbox One, Series X|S and PC

 

[Batiman]

Looking good. Can't wait

Its not Xbox exclusive, but XSX gets a native version, while PS5 just gets the PS4 version.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Yeah, MS decided to let them release it for PS as planned, but it comes at a price.

 

[elliot5]

PS5 still gets 60 fps unlike PS4/Xbox One so it's something

 

[Karak]

One of the best classic platformers I have played in years

I could talk about it longer than I played it.

 

[Chukhopops]

Feels good to see Double Fine back at the top, really hope they make an adventure game next.

Definitely a great acquisition.

Watching your review as i write, great review.
Not surprised about the great writing, Tim Schafer was always good at dialogue.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm about 9 hours into part 1. It's fantastic.

Don't skip part 1. You can play it in a weekend and it holds up.

 

[deriks]

Holy shit, it turned out okay? Great news. Next game for me when I have time after a house move.

The first game is great, also, Tim Schafer is on, so chances we're small to suck

Needs to sell good now. Can't wait to play

 

[Jaysen]

Wow it's actually a GOTY candidate? Game Pass is really killing it this year.

 

[Holammer]

Originally thought this was Xbox exclusive, seems not, hopefully some nice haptic integration there.

It was crowd funded back in 2015 and promised for Playstation, they're just following through with old commitments prior to MS acquiring them.
Don't expect future Double Fine games to release on Sony systems.

Now... Holy crap! It's been in development for six years!

 

[Roberts]

Watching your review as i write, great review.

I would say he is up there with the very best when it comes to writing.

 

[MOTM]

This is going to be my first platformer in 10 years or something thanks to Gamepass.

 

[Droxcy]

MS money did the trick.

It really did they said they had to cut out multiple boss fights and cut tons of content before Double Fine got purchased. Can really thank Phil for doing such a service for this team they put their hearts and souls into this game and it shows.

 

[LordCBH]

This one was never in doubt for me. I'm so excited to play this one and got that download pre-loaded already.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Definitely a great acquisition.

Indeed, but i would like to see them make Sam & Max Remaster first. DOTT and Full Throttle were great.

 

[Robb]

Wow, seems like this turned out better than I expected. Sounds fantastic, can't wait to play it!

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Reviews look great. Can't wait until tomorrow.

 

[amigastar]

I would say he is up there with the very best when it comes to writing.

yeah, he's the tarantino of comic games.

 

[reksveks]

Didn't plan it but got most of the week off so know what I am doing

 

[Miles708]

Does this come out physical on PS4?

 

[elliot5]

Does this come out physical on PS4?

theres no physical at all other than backers

 

[Miles708]

theres no physical at all other than backers

Well that sucks.

 

[Handel]

I lucked out that this releases on my only day off this week, going to beat it in a day. Played the first game for the first time last year and loved it, my favorite platformer ever and favorite game protagonist ever. Charm and creativity on this level is so rare in the medium, love to see it.

 

[rubhen925]

Playing the game now. Great game imo. The story, and the characters are awesome, as well as the use of multiple Psy powers.

 

[Sealord of Braavos]

Oh man, so excited to play this. And I am incredibly happy for Double Fine. They've earned a nice little break now….but I can't help but wonder what these zany bastards are going to do next.

 

[kuncol02]

Watching your review as i write, great review.

It's Schafer and Wolpaw. You really can't go much higher. Maybe if you would add Chet Faliszek to that.

 

[Castef]

"For now".

Double Fine said they know about the interest in a wider physical release and are evaluating solutions.

 

[Warnen]

Looking good, a platformer with good writing.

 

[Karak]

It's Schafer and Wolpaw. You really can't go much higher. Maybe if you would add Chet Faliszek to that.

I think its more of a "due to the oddities in the creation" that had folks worried. The best can be brought down by constantly having to change and restart which they did.

 

[Punished Miku]

Don't skip part 1.

Play it now. It holds up!

 

[JordoftheDead]

Stoked led the reviews are good, have it pre downloaded on the Series X but wasn't holding out high hopes for some reason.

Probably the length of development.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Give them The Simpson's IP

 

[kuncol02]

Wolpaw rewrote HL:Alyx after Valve throw away whole story after they done most of levels and also worked with them for years. If there is one writer qualified to work with constant change and restart it's him.

 

[Kuranghi]

Fucking super hyped after watching Ben Moore's review just there, was not expecting a 9.5, so excited now, the original is one of favs of all time. Only downer for me personally is I'm super skint right now and 55 quid is more than I've paid for a PC game in a long long while. Might just crack and buy it on credit or something stupid like that but I know I should just wait a few months like a real adult would¹

Anyone got hot steam key deals they can throw my way? No account selling bullshit though, just a proper key.

*desperation* Karak I'll give you 3 hours of free TV advice in exchange for your review key if you got one and didn't give to a friend already, even if its just boring stuff like "what TV should I buy for my abuelita" I'll give you great advice.
