Quick Look: Perspective

This looks a lot like a Namco Museum thing I had as a kid where you walked to arcade machines in first person.

That's a really cool idea for a game, I'm gonna have to play it sometime.

Patrick tried to go into the women's bathroom.

It wasn't the game it was you Patrick, created a wall for yourself then called the game janky :P

Simultaneous COOL!

So this game is Fez?

Like a few others have said this is awesome. They took the dumb thing I did as a kid and imagine a platformer on the wall and made it into a game.

Now they just need to make a dirt bike game that runs in the ditches next to car. Thats what I imagined when I was a kid.

What's the connection between this and GB though?

Perspective has been making the rounds among people that look at indie/student level games. It was also talked about on the podcast Idle Thumbs recently. 2/3 of the Idle Thumbs crew are Rodkin and Vanaman who Patrick interviewed extensively for the Walking Dead stuff. Brad also guested on the podcast way way back when. It might not be overtly visible, but they're all probably friends so it makes sense that they would know about the same things. I might be connecting too many dots, but whatever.

EDIT: OR ALSO YOU COULD BE TALKING ABOUT THEIR WEBSITE WHAT IS LIFE OH GOD

Also Chris Remo works at Double Fine, who are practically the official game developer of GiantBomb.

Hehe, cheers. That clears a few things up! I did mean the connection between Perspective and GB, since the site linked back here, and now Patrick being on the front door.

I came into the comments to mention that I used to do this as a kid, imagining my little action figures were running around all the surfaces and textures in my house. Glad other people did the same!

Also, game looks really impressive, conceptually.

I like how Patrick completely missed the point of the long corridor.

why does jeff own what is perspective.com

Uhh... why would you think Jeff owns it?

It's registered through a private service. Pretty sure it's a user.

Follow the source.

Yep, I've had my eye on this one for a while, looks cool.

SO... on a sidenote..i know its hard to solve puzzles and play games live.. probably distracting and all...

and no offense, but you guys are terrible lol. So frustrating to want to shout out the answers to you when you just run around the same problems haha. It's ok though, I'd probably be terrible as well.

The site is even crazier than the game looks. So confused right now.

Jesus Patrick is terrible at this hahahaha

Ugh yessssssss oh man. Although I suppose that would just be a 2D dirt bike platformer with forced scrolling.

Yeah that is weird! I guess someone who works on the game is a GB user.

very fucking cool, now this is a indie platformer i can get behind.

those dudes that created this game are definitely going to get picked up by someone

YOU ARE CONNECTING TOO MANY DOTS. It's just a cool game I've been keeping track of since it's first trailer in 2012, and the developers gave me a heads up on the finished game back in December.

This is looks amazing and free as well, sold

Having played a lot of Echochrome this game was more on the easy side, but the end credits blew my mind in a way I've never seen a game do. Very cool.

Patrick's performance definitely gets him on Team Brad, sorry Jeff, you're too smart :(

One of my Top 10 from last year. Go to it!

An Endless Dirt Biker.

As a kid, during long car trips I would imagine Mario or 8-bit Ryu Hayabusa was running alongside jumping from fence post to fence post. Where a fence post was down, they'd have to make a longer jump. This was the midwest so a lot of boring expanses with fenced-off fields. I figure whoever made the first endless runner had to get a similar fantasy out of their system!

"Then they have been learning the wrong things in school."

Professor Gerstmann's curriculum: functional video game bathrooms and pizza modeling.

Ahhhhhhhhh Patrick! Go play Leshy if you think the scale-changing stuff is cool.

So much like Fez. Just less character, more pretty face.

Amazing game. How is this not on Steam?

There we go! The endless runner genre makes a lot more sense now. An endless dirt biker has to be made and on iOS already, right?

WELPS LEFT SIDE! EVEN SIDE...MANY WELPS

@beard_of_zeus said:

This already reminds me a lot of echochrome.

@RedCream said:

This game reminds me of Crush

What you guys are completely wrong! This game is totally Mortal Kombat.

Ooo this is really impressive work!

I look forward to Valve snapping these guys up, and it becoming a GOTY in a year or two... Maybe...

2013 URL of the Year.

whatisperspective.com

hahaha, patrick looks like some sort of snow elf.

Puzzle game quick looks are the most frustrating. PATRICK GET BEHIND THAT WALL FUCK

Student Pizzas.

This is just echochrome, it's not that impressive.

This game looks fucking awesome. Without this quick look, I probably wouldn't have heard about this, so thanks!

Haha, love the simultaneous "cool!" at the 14:05 mark.

@TehPickle said:

Would not bet against it.

Indeed. This is rathersplendid.

I just watched this, then played this.

Going to call it. Best ending of 2012.

@cheebaking said:

I cannot watch other people play puzzle games.

I cannot watch people this bad at puzzle games play puzzle games.

@beard_of_zeus: Kind of a blend between Echocrhome and Fez.

And once again watching anyone play a puzzle game is SOOOOooooOOOooo frustrating. You find yourself yelling things like "Jump, Patrick! JUMP!!!" at your monitor.

If anyone has any doubts about playing this - just pay through it, it's not that long. And free.

It's DEFINITELY worth it.

Hey guys complaining, just imagine if this was Brad and Patrick on this Quick Look.

@nuebien said:

Because they are offering it for free, and even encourage you to torrent it on their site.

First few stages: Oh, this is a neat idea.

Last Stage: Oh wow, that's awesome.

Really cool concept.

Wow. I forgot how infuriating it is to watch people stumble around puzzle games when you see the answer instantly.
