Retro/Grade Does It Backwards

Well it looks like a desparate PSN gimmick if it wasn't also coming out to the PC, think I'll stick with the 360 where the exclusive live arcade games look 100x more fun than this.

Disney needs to get that supposedly super elite (guitar) tone recognition software they've been showing a few E3's ago and make it where you can play these plastic guitar controllable games with a real guitar. Just assign a chord or note to a colored button function and get some experience in a skill you might be able to actually use.

yeah, its a rhythm game

i would be way more intrested if they werent calling it a shooter because all it looks like is a simple rhythm game , which is fine but they seem to be relying on the fact that its the "first shooter you play in reverse"
 edit :10 songs?

Made sense after watching video.

looks cool

Cool looking game, with a nice modern take.

Hey, ten songs are better than three -- the amount the Bit.Trip games have per installment. And for all we know, there could be plans to release more songs via download. "

Sounds and looks insane . . . . I'm in.

Sounds like a stupid gimmick

Wierd, i went from angry saying what the fuck is this crap, to oddly interested :-/

" Only 10 songs... "

looks kind of interesting..  maybe a 10 minute quick look could sell me on it, but not sold or turned off by it yet

I always wanted to play the original C64 Retrograde, never saw it at the time but saw lots about it in magazines, looked awesome.

Woah, that is new.

That looks like an awesome game. Can't wait to try it out!

I remember hearing about this a while ago and thinking it sounded like a great gimmick for a game. I didn't realise just how much of a rhythm game it would turn out to be, however. Pretty cool.

Obviously this is not to be confused with the classic shooter Retrograde.

Oh, I thought you would be flying right to left...

very unique concept, just shows that there is indeed room for growth in long standing genres

That is bizarre.... I don't think I even understand it...

silly jeff, HASN"T been mentioned yet.
it actually kinda made me laugh

Yeah, everything that makes a shooter a shooter is lost here. This is just a skin for a rhythm game.

Looks sweet.

mmmmmmmercury's in retrograde

No-one made the

Oh... My brain.

" *Waits for rapper to do another Braid style video* "

Only 10 songs...

I had to spend a minute starring at the damn thing before it clicked. Hopefully it all works out....maybe it could be cool!

sounded better than it looked =[

Fine, but what does Solja-BoyTell'em have to say about it?

holy crap

Cool. Where does my Power Pad fit into all of this?

If it's played in reverse, does that mean you fight the boss first and go all the way back to the first level?

Does that mean that the game gets progressively easier?

That ship never runs outta that time rewindin' potion! 

I got to admit the one thing the Playstation consistently has me jealous on is the weird downloadable games, from this to Noby Noby Boy to Flower I really wish some this bizarre shit would make it to the XBLA.

Bit.Trip Beat meets R-Type meets Braid?

I can get behind that.

Weak.

Looks interesting.  I might have to check it out once it releases.

I dont think I could be any less excited over a shmup.

*Waits for rapper to do another Braid style video*

Wow, weird. I feel like walking around my house backwards now.

I'm tripping balls right now...

I tried the demo on steam. It's a novel idea but bleh pass. I didn't find it fun at all just an interesting concept piece.

I played the demo on Steam a while back, and it IS pretty much just a reskinned rhythm game... and the music... is not the most amazing. I'm not saying it's bad; just one of those 'not for everyone' games.

Looks really neat but if its just a rhythm game with a space shooter "skin" on it(as was mentioned earlier) then i'm out.

" That's crazy, seems to have a lot of the similar mechanics of Braid! "

Wow, what the hell.
