I've been waiting for this game to come out for close to 2 years now. Glad to see there is a new trailer up!

I got really excited watching this trailer. I then got even more excited at the end when it said it was coming to Vita. Then I noticed the release date. I hate you so damn much Patrick...

The science fiction vibes are definitely Metroidy, but what this game really brought into my head was Ferazel's Wand... for some reason.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

"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?

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.

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.
