So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

fab game, although after this and q4, I'm oppressive teched out :)

Someone mentioned ages ago the fact that you cant die, I thought the spirit levels were pretty much the same punishment wise as reloading from where you die (ie if you are used to autosaving, no real difference).

I'm Really Looking Forward To This:

#2620 posted by nitin on 2009/05/20 14:25:08

Hmm

#2621 posted by nonentity on 2009/05/20 14:51:00

Whats ICO?

Get out. And leave your gamer card by the door on your way out.

Holy Shit

#2623 posted by starbuck on 2009/05/20 19:44:59

that's big news! Looks exactly halfway between ICO and SOTC. This is probably years away isn't it :(

I'm Wondering

#2624 posted by ijed on 2009/05/20 20:30:04

If you control the Hippogriff or the kid.

. . . and why the kid's art style looks completely different from the rest of the game.

Holy Shit On A Stick Vasquez!

Haha, I saw the shots on kotaku earlier and specifically thought: Daz will literally jizz his pants at this, so hard he may die.

I thought they were trying to play on the conventional gamer expectations... the lack of a 'win' state, or clearly defined goals. The early section seems intentionally arbitrary - what are these things i'm picking up? Who are those guys I'm killing and why?

On the other hand, while the execution is good in one way (pixel-art, music, movement in section 1), the gameplay in the underwater area is hugely boring and frustrating. Inverted steering with annoying inertia in the dark + flashlight pointing the other way to where you're going, oh boy. Intentional, maybe. Irritating, yes. Payoff, no.

I wish less pixel art platform games tried to be clever and arty and just gave me situations where I can rescue Princess Peach/My gay lover Tails from King Koopa/Dr. Robotnik.
