Best Game of GDC...

[VictimOfScience]

My personal game of GDC:

Sword and Sworcery EP by Superbrothers

Two INSANE videos found below. The first vid was likened to one's first experience with the tram ride from Half-Life. :thumbs:

There's been a real proliferation of 2D pixel games lately. It looks like we're entering a renaissance.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Oh, it's a iPhone game.

Nevermind.

 

[Krynn72]

Looks kinda interesting, looks kinda boring. Dont really like the art style, sound was kinda cool, but gameplay looks meh.

 

[the cow says moo]

This actually looks pretty cool and it'll probably be cheap since it's on the iphone.

 

[CyberPitz]

Damnit, why don't they make it for the Android phones...

 

[VictimOfScience]

Ok, here is another that I am super-excited for: Limbo

Looks atmospheric and creepy too. The animations are fantastic as are the little details like the pebbles sliding down a rockface or dust on a rope. Brilliant.

Feel free to post your own personal favs from the show. :E

 

[Quixoticism]

Holy crap that Limbo trailer looks so good! I can't wait to play that game.

 

[Vegeta897]

**** you iphone.

 

[Warbie]

Limbo

That looks superb - gives me a Braid meet Lost Winds vibe. Insta buy.

This has piqued my interest intensely.

 

[VirusType2]

Haha, that was cool. I like only about 1 in 2000 platformers, and I like Limbo.

Really deserves a thread of its own, but whatever.

Here's some more information:

Limbo looks intriguing!

 

[the cow says moo]

After watching the trailer on gametrailers, I went to the website for Limbo and watched the teaser. Looks very intense.

 

[VirusType2]

hazards are plentiful in LIMBO. Dying happens frequently, but the game never starts the player very far back from where the boy last expired -- it becomes a darkly humored test to see when and how the boy dies next.

A game after my own heart. Did you see the video? HHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA

 

[Qonfused]

Limbo looks really good.

 

[Sedako]

Limbo looks awesome. As for that other game, I have a Droid, so unless it gets ported I have no interest.

 

[StardogChampion]

This looks pretty cool. Is there more interesting gameplay in between the fights, or do you just walk from monster to monster?

Limbo looks dull.

 

[TCfromBN]

I'd probably die and go to heaven if I could get this on my droid...

Google needs to get some real studios working on titles for android...

That's one thing the android market is lacking... super high quality games.

 

[GreatEmperor]

Some good games but no major news ive been looking for shown

 

[VictimOfScience]

Need to bring this back to update from E3. Man, this is the first thing to make me REALLY REALLY want an iPad. :O

Here is a dev walkthrough giving some great insights into gameplay and design and some new screens below. SO beautiful.

[the cow says moo]

[VictimOfScience]
