This looks like a pretty boring game.

Myeh.

Slightly better than a Flash game.

Posted by clarke0 - January 31, 2011 at 10:21 PM

First level looks a lot like the opening level from X4. The best thing about this game, by far, was the music. Everything else looked alright.

Posted by Tshirt - January 31, 2011 at 1:22 PM

Music is brilliant in this game, too many new releases (or most game from thast 6 or 7 years) have put the soundtrack on the backburner it seems, It's a real shame.

lol I love Ryan's penchant for anime faces.

That is some gnarly screen tearing.

this was last years dream play build winner, it was an XNA game. sucks there is no 360 version yet

Posted by needforswede - January 31, 2011 at 2:34 AM

yea...Capcom needs to make a new Megaman X game...they can even do it 16-bit, like they did Megaman 9 and 10 with 8-bit graphics. Although X8 was really good but I know I'm in the minority with that opinion, it's probably the best Megaman game in my opinion.

My favorite turrets are from Portal. They're so polite when they kill you and so sad when you knock them over.

Posted by Little_Socrates - January 30, 2011 at 9:02 PM

WIsh I could give a damn about this game or this QL. I tried.

Super Meat Boy has some legitimately awesome turret encounters

Posted by DoctorWelch - January 29, 2011 at 10:56 PM

For a second I thought this game was going to be metroid-like, but now I'm disappointed. This probably isnt the right place to ask this, by why arent there more games that try to steal that style of gameplay?

Posted by Cold_Wolven - January 29, 2011 at 10:05 PM

Looks alright, kinda wish it played a bit faster as it feels slow.

Seriously, if you like having fun then you should buy Magicka. I only want the QL for their reactions.

@august:
because they make all their videos on monday/tuesday and magicka didnt come out yet

Not sure why they're quicklooking this and not Magicka.

Edited by vinsanityv22 - January 29, 2011 at 3:37 PM

I got this game on Gamersgate awhile ago because it looked cool and was cheap. I do not like it. I was hoping for a Mega Man ripoff shooting platformer. I do not care for this "mouse look in 2D" crap - though to be fair, I use my Dual Shock 3 as a USB controller. Which means I had to use ControlMK to get it to work correctly; I suppose with a 360 pad, it looks like it could just play like a Metal Slug title (which would be preferable). But it sure made for a cool Quick Look ;)

Posted by Sheetsy77 - January 29, 2011 at 3:34 PM

Look alright, nothing I would buy though.....

the enemies look really boring

Edited by BobJustBob - January 29, 2011 at 2:01 PM

@zerdune: Yeah, Valve are the kings of turrets. Half-Life had a great turret sequence during On A Rail where you had to flank a soldier on an emplaced turret. Half-Life 2 had a similar sequence except you were drawing the turret's fire so your antlions could flank him. Portal was nothing but awesome turrets. And Team Fortress 2 is all about the turrets. Yay turrets!

a demo is out on steam for you to make a decision.

Posted by zerdune - January 29, 2011 at 1:41 PM

Half-Life 2 and Portal had great turrets.

Posted by JJOR64 - January 29, 2011 at 1:32 PM

After watching the full video, the game looks neat. Totally would check it out if it came to XBLA for $10.

Posted by eagles_band - January 29, 2011 at 1:24 PM

Looks terrible.

Posted by SuperfluousMoniker - January 29, 2011 at 1:03 PM

I like the concept and what they were going for, but this doesn't look very good. Level design looks really bland and boring. Having more than three enemy types might help.
