[nickcv]

into my veins! now!

 

[vareon]

Is the apostrophe intentional?

 

[kurahador]

Pre-purchased!!

Now waiting for it to release.

 

[Lima]

Is the apostrophe intentional?

I think so. Game has multiple sections you will only be able to access with certain characters.

 

[basic_text]

I can't wait for this, I really enjoyed playing it at Eurogamer and had forgotten it was out so soon!

360 for me so that I can play co op with the wife!

 

[Nillansan]

Nice OT.

Pre-purchased this on Steam. The wait is gruelling!

 

[Nabs]

I picked this up for PC. I'm excited to play it.

 

[Tizoc]

All I've known about this game since its announcement is that it's by Ron Gilbert, and that was reason enough for me to get the game.
Prepurchased it through Greenmangaming and will get it on US PSN when it gets released.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[TriGen]

Day 1. I'll go with the Wii U version.

 

[Kurtofan]

First game I preordered on steam, it sounds really great.

 

[Hanmik]

looks great .. any previews on the HD twins versions..? just wondering about controls..

 

[Vert boil]

Is the apostrophe intentional?

Mmmmmaaaaayyyybbbbbeee?

Spoiler

*shrug* If there shouldn't be one I can change the title.

edit, PM'ed a mod. Should be fixed soon.

 

[NIN90]

That..... still doesn't explain the apostrophe.

 

[Currygan]

 

[Tizoc]

Mmmmmaaaaayyyybbbbbeee?

Spoiler

*shrug* If there shouldn't be one I can change the title.

I personally think the subtitle could've been 'A game by Ron Gilbert' or something along the lines.

 

[Maxwood]

Day 1! And I almost never do that.

Looking forward to it.

 

[BluWacky]

Spoiler

I know you've already changed it, but for future grammar nazi reference:

Adventurers = plural ("the adventurers")
Adventurer's = something belonging to an adventurer ("the adventurer's shoes")
Aventurers' = something belonging to multiple adventurers ("the adventurers' courage")

 

[Carl]

Maybe... Maybe

 

[speedpop]

What is this new devilry?

 

[wilder.Boy]

Must hold back until after my exams in February. This sucks! The Cave will be UH-MAZING!

 

[NickMitch]

GIMME!!!

 

[Tizoc]

Maybe... Maybe

I'll offer you a fine leather jacket if you get it!

 

[Bikram]

Want to get this, specially with the GMG discount. But with my huge backlog I should hold off for a bit >.<

 

[Parallax Scroll]

So this is like a side scrolling Maniac Mansion? Sort of?

 

[dreamfall]

Great OT! Going Steam for this one, on the path of self- discovery!

 

[speedpop]

So this is like a side scrolling Maniac Mansion? Sort of?

I'm hoping for a crazy hybrid of Maniac Mansion and The Lost Vikings.

 

[Franchuzas87]

I'll definitely get this for Wii U. So hyped!

 

[RoaringHawk]

Already pre-purchased. This will be good!

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Hopefully it'll be better written than Deathspank. I'll wait to see what you guys think of it before I pick it up. Tentatively excited, though.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Gonna get this on wii u. Everyone should buy this to support innovative creative games. This one reminds me of the great games of the 90s

 

[TTG]

Wait, I can't play as Chris Remo? Thirty five combinations and no Remo? No Sale.

 

[beyond_death]

This looks excellent.

 

[Stallion Free]

Ridin' dat Double Fine hype train.

 

[dark10x]

Tempted to go Wii U simply so I have something new to play on the system, but I'm afraid of poor performance and Nintendo's shitty user system so I'm not sure. :\

 

[Andrew.]

I'll buy it at a high price.

Been a fan since the Monkey Island days. Any modern day adventure game that is created by the best of the best has my semen all over it.

 

[jon bones]

Day One for XBLA - i try to support devs who make point n click adventures as often as possible.

Thinking The Twins, The Time Traveler and....?

 

[Vert boil]

Cheers BluWacky.

Ron was asked about save games on twitter last night.

https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/292441229390655489

There is only one save game, but it's a damn good save game!

https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/292462841125015552

It does remember previous play throughs and does change the game in some ways, so it's not a complete delete.

https://twitter.com/grumpygamer/status/292463766006792192

It's the way I wanted people to experience the game. It was an artist choice. You can't make a mistake in the game, so it's safe.

Also on the PS blogcast - http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/01/19/playstation-blogcast-059-devil-may-cave/

 

[PapaJustify]

Can't wait for this game!

Great |OT|!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'm going to make sure I get some sleep before midnight for the eShop to update and play for hours non-stop

 

[Dog Problems]

So who is everyone starting with? I'm going with the hillbilly, knight, and the twins.

 

[eXistor]

Totes getting it for WiiU, can't wait too, I've been without Ron Gilbert in my veins for too long.

 

[Dunkelgrau]

I am a bit dissapointed. I was hoping for a game like the old LucasArts-Adventures. But "The Cave" looks like "Trine" or something. Which is not bad, but not what I want form Ron Gilbert.

 

[dark_prinny]

WiiU versión into my veins!!!

 

[TheChits]

Does anyone know if you can play this entirely on the Wii U gamepad?

 

[zroid]

Wii U for me. Game seems pretty cool. I hope there'e some Miiverse integration, but I'm not optimistic.

 

[BigWeather]

Love the thread title! I keep reading it "Cave |OT|" as "Cave Of Time", the first CYOA book as well.

 

[bryehn]

Normally I buy games like this on XBLA but will likely buy this one on Wii U...assuming it has off TV play.

 

[marc^o^]

Tuesday on Wii U then? Day one.
