I played Binding of Isaac for 377 hours according to Steam.

I've played over 100 hours of BoI, and I'm still totally up for the remake. Will be interesting to play with a controller. I've watched a streamer called LethalFrag who switched to controller after having problems with his wrists using the keyboard, and he still managed to get over 100 mom kills in a row without dying. So it's definitely still a viable control method.

Loved the original game. Will get the remake for sure.

isn't that game made by the guy that complained about how programming is like "living in a fucking concentration camp" in that pretentious indie movie

This is great news. More people should experience the awesome that is Binding Of Isaac.

@LiquidPenguins: Aren't you that guy who can't take a joke?

This game was my Summer Jam of 2012. So simple, but the variety keeps it from getting old. But, I can't play as Blue Baby anymore. It doesn't feel right with my own little Isaac sleeping in the next room.

Would work great on the vita. But that probably won't happen

Actually, PS3 and Vita versions have been confirmed.

It's one of my favorite games ever, the amount of items in that game is freaking crazy. I love this game so much!! I hope it will do great on consoles.

edit: Holy crap they're making it for steam too? AMAZING!! he answers a lot of questions on his blog

My GOTY 2011 gets an ever more expanded release? What's the release date? Tell me now. Now.

Awesome, those new graphics look hot. Like everyone else I hope they improve the controls by adding 8-axis aiming.

Big thumbs up for more content and upgraded version! Love the game!!

Can't wait! I'll pick it up for PS3.

Man, I really hope that someone comes to their senses and this makes it to the 3DS eShop.

I hope they aren't (too) burned from the whole Microsoft incident, and I also hope Microsoft doesn't make the same mistake twice. After watching the Indie movie, though, "half" of that team seems like someone who makes rash decisions and doesn't really think before he leaps.

We'll see, though. Hopefully it'll be a better, less laggy, and improved controls version.

It took me more than 150 hours to S rank this. I would not want to do this again. I'll pay for the DLC on the PC. Please let it be out on PC. The PC players are the reason this is possible. Having to pay to update the game on XBOX will not appease to Ed. Please let the update come to PC.

Ugh, Nicalis, really? After they've butchered Cave Story in a dozen different ways, I'm surprised they're still getting work.

@CH3BURASHKA: Not sure how long I've been smashing against it. I can pretty consistently GET to the last level, but I usually die on the way to Mom. I've started consistently using Maggie with the most success.

Please piss off with this 16-bit shit, the original had a little something called an art style, why ruin it with more of this wannabe retro bullshit that indie games already overuse FAR too much?

No doubt the great soundtrack is probably going to be replaced with frigging chiptunes as well.

Just got platinum god today. Good news, can't wait for the re/de make.

Cain/Judas is the way. Cain is fairly quick and prevents you from getting fucked by pills and floor curses, Judas does so much damage that if you're lucky and pick up Polyphemus/Max's Head or other damage increaser you are almost unstoppable.

If it controls better on a console I might pick it up, I loved the concept of the game but man did the controls just not work for me.

It was how the game was designed. You could only fire in the four cardinal directions, even if you plugged in a gamepad. The only way that would change is if he went in and changed it. It might make the game a bit easier, though.

You could use the number pad to shoot 8-way.  Anyway anything more of this game is fine with me.

You could? I've never seen that before. In my experience, firing diagonally has always been done by moving Isaac one way and shooting in an adjacent direction, thanks to the physics keeping the inertia in tact.

I'd just like to take this chance to tell everyone who has not played this game to go buy it now. It is a masterpiece and a huge time sink.

This comes to XBLA and I'll definetly buy it.

@andrewtr:

I could never get Platinum God for some reason. I had read a bunch of forums saying it was hard to get due to buginess in the the game.

@Nightriff: I got that game mapped perfectly to my Xbox controller. It's a sheer joy to play it on too. Over 200 hours logged!

Ugh, Nicalis, really? After they've butchered Cave Story in a dozen different ways, I'm surprised they're still getting work.

Why 16-bit graphics? This game's got a great visual style, why remake it low-fi?

Co-op sounds like fun.

Great news. Absolutely loved the original and will gladly pay for a re-make and anything else that comes after it.

@siaynoq: It's difficult but that didn't have to do with bugs for me. A couple of the secrets you need to get are random chance. Especially the "get these four items in a single run" ones.
