So can this get a monthly feature akin to "Building the Bastion"? I'd love another round of that.

This looks a lot like Limbo.

That is a good thing. ;)

Limbo was the first thing to come to my mind also. But only because that game sucked me in and didn't let go. I cannot express how excited I am to play anything even close to Limbo again.

But to be fair to this game and its team it's as much like Limbo as anything else. The art is totally different, it's not so depressing and "adult"... at least from what I can tell. It seems a little more eager about things as opposed to Limbos slow and punishing gameplay.

So so very excited.

I think that only happened because of the relationship between them and Greg. It might be neat, but didn't they say their team is in Sweden?

Also I avoided every Bastion video posted until I played it. I went in knowning nothing other than everyone giving it high praise, I hope to keep it around the same for this game.

that is pretty rad and awful gentlemanly of Mr. Boyd there. Then again, if it weren't for Mr. Adam Boyd, I doubt the GB crew would have noticed pid besides the usual "oh look, here's a new game that's indy looking"...

Does this count as conflict of interest? it's not, right? We aren't getting weird with the friendship and exclusives and I mean, it's what looks like an indy title, so any extra coverage is awesome and... why am I feeling a bit weird about this, it's not weird, but why do I feel weird? SOMEBODY TALK ME DOWN FROM THIS wait, wait, right, GI gets exclusive all the time, and GB is only getting this info a day early and in fact, GB may be doing pid more of a favor then pid would by themselves. meh, fuck it, anything that helps the Boyd out is alright with me.

Probably spreading on the promo a bit thick for an indie game, but looks interesting.

They probably won't review the game if they get too close to its development (like Bastion).

Holy fuck, what a get. I was just reading about pid on Joystiq, thinking, "I guess we'll find out what this is in 6 months", and here we are seeing it. Amazing. Your badass-itude has paid off - not every website can get an EXCLU- EXCL- EXCLUSIVE...

I absolutely adore games like Braid, Limbo, Bastion, etc. I simply cannot wait for this game. And the music is amazing. Especially the guitar lick that starts at 4:19.

2 things.

Pid looks really cool! On my radar for next year. Getting the same vibes for this that I got for Bastion.

Also, nice to see a Giantbomb exclusive. More folks should embrace the bomb.

The game looked like it had a very Limbo feel to the movement. The controls in Limbo were fantastic so that's a good thing.

Also, possibility for griefing in multiplayer is great. Hopefully it has online multiplayer as well. I'll keep my eyes on this one.

Looks neat. I like the style and the music.

Minor off-topic gripe but the contrast of the camera in the guest couch shots is off. The full shot is fine, the close-up of Ryan is fine. I'm guessing it's just the camera. It's just kind of noticeable swapping between shots interview-style.
