[Dwarf]

Bastion was one of the best games of 2011 for me in terms of emotion, so I am looking forward to this game.

Looks cool, another year, damn.

 

[Red Storm]

Bastion was fantastic, so I am excited for this game. 😀

The one thing that I'm not terribly clear on is the gameplay. It appears to be isometric, but the camera is even further out than Bastion or other isometric games like Diablo. Also, it appears that they turned the JRPG stereotype on its head by giving the compensating-for-something sword to a female character instead of the usual brooding male character. 😛

Glad they're getting something new out there, but I guess when they said "We aren't doing another Bastion" I was expecting a more substantial departure from Bastion, not just "It doesn't look like it but it'll play like it". Oh well, still looks cool anyway.

The music! So so good. 😱

Looks good. Bastion is fun. Slightly off topic but it's on sale for $1 currently.

Looks like a mishmash of GITS, Applseed, and FF7.

i'm not sure that's a sword...looks like some sort of chip. maybe a chip/sword combo.

Did you see the size of kid's hammer? 😀

 

[KidNiki1]

oh em gee!!!!

looks awesome. Bastion was such a kick ass game. Excited for this!

 

[Aikouka]

I thought that swords were all that we counted as compensating, phallic references? 😛

Well, if you flip the hammer around then-

you know what I won't go there. 😀

Supergiant's art direction is incredible. I've been hoping for a long time now that the bigger studios picked up some cues from indie devs in this department. I'm sick of all the drab realism infecting mainstream games.

I totally forgot about this game until I saw it on Steam this morning.

Only 10 days until release. I imagine it is a pretty safe bet if you're inclined to pre-order.

Holy crap, 10 days til release?? And no one on this board is talking about it...

Bastion was one of my favorites, I hope Transistor is anything like it. Will be playing it on my PS4 though..

 

[Artorias]

Looks like a very interesting game. I forgot about it since Totalbiscuit's gameplay footage back in March 2013.
