Quick Look: EX: The Cave

Mmmmm, Princess bits.

"I'm going to grab the twins," he said, while looking at the lovely Scientist.

@drakesfortune: Same here. The YouTube option is the only way I can watch anything on GB in HD:(

Goddamn frame rate and constant grabbing on the ledge, wtf...

Boo for no Off-TV Play on Wii U version, please patch it in :(

Glad I preordered this on Steam.

Is anyone else having trouble watching videos on the site using Safari? I am running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro and all of a sudden the site player just gives me a black screen or takes forever to load. Watching them on YouTube is totally cool though...

They brought toy's and candy!? 5 Stars!

When does Patrick call Ron Gilbert an asshole?

So excited for this. Pre-ordered on Steam last week!

Hey, this actually looks really fun! xD

3.3 MILLION ON THIS?!

Sold on this now! The cave paintings remind me of the emotional baggage from Psychonauts. I also really like the Cave asking you to purchase the game.

while there was a good amount of picking up postcards, there was a severe lack of picking up purses

@bigoletitties: Different Project

I really hope this pattern doesn't continue of people thinking this.

Is there really no follow option when you're playing alone ? That seems like something that can quickly get quite tedious.

You can feel Ryan wanting to do something with "I'm gonna grab the twins" but he misses his moment. C'est la vie.

That "Commit Murder" potential game sounds a lot like what Quantic Dream did with Indigo Prophecy and some of Heavy Rain.

I totally need these toys!

37:35 There seem to be some parts of the game where the whole crew will need to rally on that point.

Do want!

@EnduranceFun: Be careful you will get banned.

@Vinny@drewbert Replace that stupid Nyan Cat with a Giant Bomb logo or something.

I just didn't find this funny or witty.

Ron Gilbert, one of my heroes.

@EnduranceFun: Its not like he works there or anything!

I totally ignored this game until right now... IT SEEMS AWESOME!

Also Double Fine QL-EXs, are the best QL-EXs, no doubt.

This ... looks ... AWESOME ... I'm just bummed that there is no online coop :(

I was wondering how will it look on PC. Of course everyone will have their own camera( I hope so), but are there gonna be some kind of indicators to show where are other guys of your party and is there gonna be ingame team voice chat to communicate with others? I am in the middle of preordering it on steam but I need to know these questions.

Looking at the steam page it seems there is only local coop :(

Unlike Trine I'd actually want to play this game.

Not a fan of the messy imprecise physics in Trine. Even the elaborate ornate graphics seem overcooked.

I'm going to say what everyone is thinking.

HOW DARE THEY RELEASE SUCH AN UNFINISHED PIECE OF SHIT? THEY DON'T EVEN STAND UP!

Game looks fantastic, really excited to get my mits on it.

That said, I am really, really not a fan of single screen coop of any kind. I'd rather play on separate systems with the camera locked to me. I'll usually see the other players and I'll stick with them, but I don't get frustrated when I'm left off the screen because my dickhead friend was impatient or the platforming forces the group to come apart. Not the end of the world, I just would prefer to have my own damn camera.

And man, this game really needs a drop down from ledge feature. I hope there is one, that looks really clunky.

This looks awesome.

Agreed. I can't stand physics puzzles, especially not block puzzles. Half Life 2 did it ages ago, and games like Trine has run it into the ground since then. Physics is okay when it's just background noise, not the main mechanic.

Wishlisted this on Steam. I love the way GB constantly gets me interested in games I'd probably never hear of any other way.

Heey. Guy in the middle. Stop being a pill.

This looks pretty cool!

Why does everyone actively hate on Patrick? Its so silly. 
 
Great quicklook guys, amazed Ron Gilbert turned up to preview it. Very tempted to buy given its pedigree, but can be hard to find other people to play same screen co-op with me, as much fun as it is!

I kinda felt bad for Matt....just had to sit around.

No Boost and Sniper?

Maybe they're still working on their Spacebase game, or is Amnesia fortnight wrapped up now?

looking promising, will wait for the review

This doesn't look that good at all. Hopefully it will not be another Double Fine game that is dripping with charm and style while being a dud when it comes to playing it like Brutal Legend, Costume Quest, Middle Manager of Justice, and Stacking.

I saw his keynote at PAX 2009 and it was one of the best moments in being a gamer. Made me feel proud.

Is it bad that after watching this I'm way more interested in playing that hypothetical "perfect murder" game Ron Gilbert mentioned than this game? This does look fun though.

SOLD, game looks awesome

I hope you're joking, because detecting sarcasm in text is a little bit hard to do. Anyways, no this is not the kickstarter funded game. He was working on this before they did the kickstarter.

Bastion really started something special with the whole Narrator/character thing.

Already bought it.

So stoked to play this tomorrow. Have been excited about this for a long while and it looks like my hype will be rewarded. Looks great.

This looks really good. I want dem toys too.
