Gimme Axiom Verge Right Now

That 2015 sure pulled the rug from under my feet...oh well, hopefully I'll still be just as excited about it as I have been now.

It may be bad, but I feel it's accurate.

A year out still, but I'm always down for Metroid.

The character design looks extremely dumb and out of place. The trenchcoat looks silly too. Everything else looks fucking fantastic though. I really hope it comes to Steam.

Yes please.

going cross-eyed

next year? bullshit.

Thomas Happ. He's the programmer, artist, designer, and composer for this game. He's been working on it alone for over 4 years. Hell, his studios name is Thomas Happ Games.

@dryker: RIP Bill Hicks.

But seriously, this game looks pretty great. I haven't been too jazzed with a lot of the metroidvania style games of late so here's hoping this one is a big win. And also: dat music.

It's kind of weird seeing the term "Metroidvania" used in a trailer. I thought it was more esoteric than that. Oh well. This looks neat though, I'll grab this and...

When? 2015?

Fuck.

Seems real silly if there's not gonna be a PC version.

This music sounds like a theremin playing Norwegian Wood.

finally someone is making a good looking 2d metroid game. always happy to play that.

Some Vita love.

halo rip-off much?

This looks incredible. Can't wait to play it!

VITA ! ! !

Yep, I've been patiently waiting checking his site every so often for updates. I'm glad the game is getting a little bit of attention now! The additional support from the Playstation platforms should help get the game some notice.

I need to get a vita...

H.R. Geiger meets Metroid. Frightening.

... and then I saw the date at the end.

"A Metroidvania To Nostalgia-Gasm About"

Looks very neat, but am I the only person who flips out when people insist on using "bits" to describe something? There's nothing 16-bit about this game. If anything, I'd say those graphics most closely resemble the style of some early-90s DOS games. Nothing 16-bit about DOS. Oh well, words are what the people make of them... I guess this is what "bit" means now.

Sure I will have a serving of this, yes.

Finally. Metroid for people too hipster for Metroid.

"This could be the next Metroid."

But, uhh... it looks like several Metroids ago, not the next one.

It looks like a Metroid fanfiction, not "Metroidvania." Do you think anyone could come up with a stupider name for these kinds of games?

I want to listen to that music on a loop forever

Apparently he's been working on this by himself since 2010.

Go to steam there is probably 1/2 dozen games just likes this or just break out the ole NES.

2015? Dammit, I don't care about things until they're six months or less away.

Wow this could not be more metroidy; not complaining at all since Nintendo refuses to do another 2d metroid. Also very glad about a vita version :D

Yes, yes I will buy your Super Metroid inspired game. Thank you very much.

2015?

*Shakes fist in the air*

who did the music for the trailer?

This game will look amazing on Vita. Sony is killing it with portable Metroidvania between this and Guacamelee.

A little too many quotes at the end but the game looks great.

White guy protagonist though? I hope they characterize the hell out of this dude or I'm gonna be at least a smidge bummed.

"a metroidvania to nostalgia-gasm about"

This might be the worst quote i've ever read.

It's coming to PC, this is just the trailer stating it's coming to PS4 and Vita. I believe it's also slated for 360. That said... I left kinda disappointed. This trailer did nothing for me.

More like just straight-up Metroid. A year is long enough for a PC port, right?

I have no mouth and I must metroid

"You know all that music that has enhanced your lives over the years? Well, go home and grab all your records... and burn 'em! Because those guys were rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally phukkin high on..."

No PC!?

Well, shit, I was going to need to get a PS4 at some point. If this is a timed exclusive, or even an absolute exclusive, good get, Boyes!

Looks like someone played Metroid

Well at least someone is making a Metroid game since Nintendo has basically given up on it!

Wat? Everything I see says it's coming to 360 and PC as well...

Really digging it, but maybe the straight up Super Metroid textures are too much?

Sony y'all.

Who do I give my motherfucking money!? Oh wait I don't own a Vita or PS4 fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

One Sony to rule them all.
