Quick Look: Road Show: Outland

cool got the quest. Outland does look really 'cool' though I just don't know. I feel kind of the same when I watch the El shaddai videos.

dammit dammit dammit

Looks good. Probably won't pick it up though unless it's on sale (400 MSP) or if they release it on Steam. 

Cool Beans. That dude is tall.

Quick Look-time!
Been curious about this one...

It's Ikaruga, the platformer!
 
Which, to me, sounds DOPE.

never heard of this, should be interesting 
 
Edit: this looks great, i'll pick this up as long as the controls and price are right.

I want it bad. So bad. 
 
Edit- Podcast talk made me overhyped. I was told metroidvania with ikaruga. This looks very eh. Combat looks boring but of course it could just be they have no real powers. Also that boss had wayyyy too much life.

WhatIsThis

This looks great! really keen for this one.

I liked this game when it was a flash game and called Fireboy and Watergirl

The boss battle with the falling platforms reminded of an Adventure Island boss but it was on clouds and going up :)

Looks meh.

I really like the look of the game, but the gameplay seems sort of tedious.

This game actually looks pretty cool.  I am quite interested.  Hope this does well.

I'm not too wild about the game itself, but I'm loving the visuals. It's like Prince of Persia (2008) crossed with a little bit of Tron. The GUI  seems a bit out of place though...    

Cool. :) I was wondering what was up with this one.

So it is You-bisoft, not Oobi- soft. That will take a bit to change my perception of that name.

Wow really good first impression for me, I really like the artstyle and the red/blue switching mechanic looks cool, online co-op too! Probably will pick this up on release.

I didn't catch the price, but I'm in for 800 space bucks - if I manage to find $5 in my laundry sometime soon then 1200 it is.

The premise of this game is completely fucked - you take a fairly challenging game that is completely reliant on two people simultaneously having good reflexes, communication, and at least a modicum of brainpower, and then you stick it online? Have you ever played with people online? It's going to be a disaster. Almost nobody even has voice chat on PSN, and even on XBL there's too much latency for that kind of "3-2-1-go" split-second timing.
 
Even with a skilled, intelligent ally, it's going to be completely frustrating unless you're playing locally. And, realistically, random public games are going to be filled with idiots that are incompetent or deliberately sabotage the game. Good luck with that.

Looks fantastic, although particle effects look so out of place with strong art styles like this.

Will this have local co-op? It looks great, but I usually play games like this with a friend on the couch.

Ryans wearing the purple diamond shirt again! You know this means it's going to be something special!

Ikaruga? You have my attention.

I feel like I always end up saying the same thing every time I see one of these downloadable games:  

•   I love the art style of this game, but the gameplay looks like it would get boring after a while.

• Shame it's consoles only, because I would like to give this a try.

" Ryans wearing the purple diamond shirt again! You know this means it's going to be something special! "

love the gameplay! il definetly download this one :)

Not sure about difficulty scaling and world design, but the concept is great and so is the art design.

Purple? Looks red/brown to me... "

Looks like a faded purple to me. I guess you could call it wine coloured? "

The mechanic looks fun, but the make or break on these types of games is always in the level design. I'm not sure I saw enough variation to get too excited.

Looks pretty cool. Only buy though if I had a dedicated co-op partner. 

My thought process while watching this:  Woah, that dude is seriously tall.  Not sounding too interesting.  This actually looks better than I thought it would.  I should add this to the 2D silhouette wiki page if it's not there already.

Seems like a lot of interesting downloadable stuff coming out in the next few months.  Looks cool.

Looks very pretty and unique, and the gameplay looks neat. It would be nice if it had local co-op though.

I can't pin point it but this game looks kind of not so good.

I think Haroshi had a little nap at the end

Outland-er! We have your woman, Outlander!
 
Sorry, first thing that popped into my head... :D

I like the concept of the game. Coop might be a little infuriating, but I like the Prince of Persia feel.

It's a little thing but having that final boss not even fight the player seems kind've lame. 
 
Nothing like being stomped by a boss Bowser in Paper Mario style to humble you a bit.

this game looks kinda boring. climbing ladders for hoooooooouuuuuuuuuuurs!!

This was my game of show at PAXEast this year. Really excited to play the full version.

I like the art direction here, and the platforming seems interesting, especially in multiplayer. Considering a purchase.

Love the look of it but I can imagine it might start feeling stale pretty quickly. Hope I'm wrong though.

Its like a platforming Ikaruga huh? Interesting concept but man it looks like it could be infuriating at times...especially when someone else is controlling your 'alignment'.

Looks kinda neat
