2014? =(

Way too excited seeing this to wait that long! Ah well. Love these guys, buying this on release just like Bastion.

I loved Bastion so I'm excited by default, but a little worried that the game play looks identical.

Edited by Maitimo

At least it's more visually interesting than Bastion, I guess

oh yeah! oh HELL yeah!

Dat song!

My thoughts exactly. Hopefully those going to PAX will report back!

I heard Todd Howard is going to do a 12 hour live stream of the game when it comes out.

Really didnt care for Bastion, got bored and could never finish it. This looks the same but it has my interest. Like the aesthetics of it.

Posted by FilipHolm

Yep.

II like to see on Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita. It will be great with cross-save.

Looks like they still have style down, but I'm sorry to see they stuck with the isometric hidden grid-based actioner mechanics, as those were ultimately what kept me from finishing Bastion.

Posted by Mushroomer

Yep, looks like Bastion.

Jen Zee's art continues to be beautiful. I can't wait to learn more about this.

I'm surprised they stuck so closely to what made Bastion stand out, honestly. The music is cool and the gameplay seems awesome, but I already played Bastion. I'm not sure I want to play it again.

Also, the setting and logo give me the feeling that this will be set in the same universe, following the 'setting sail' ending of Bastion. It would make the most sense, especially given the art style (the prominence of that lucid blue). Hell, Red even looks like she's related to The Kid.

It's about her struggle to learn how to hold a sword.

Oh god, please let it not suck. That song is amazing, so it seems that it'll be worth buying just for the soundtrack. But I hope they have a great story to tell. Bastion was so great, in my opinion, because of the melding between amazing music, good story and great voice acting.

I'm assuming the song was original?

Yeah, that was by Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett, who also did the music in Bastion. I love their work.

Why is Supergiant one of the only indie devs capable of finding a competent artist.

Edited by Abendlaender

Is it weird that I'm more excited about the soundtrack than the actual game? I mean I'm excited for the game as well but man, the soundtrack in Bastion was just something else.

Edited by Morningstar

Looked like some Final Fantasy 7 inspirations there also. Can't wait.

haha, this is all i was thinking

It looks sick!

Posted by MarkWahlberg

Part of me is a little disappointed that it appears to be similar gameplay-wise to Bastion, but A) I can't blame them for sticking with what they're good at, and B) the rule with second outings is to do whatever the fuck you want because people are gonna say it's "not as good" regardless.

So yeah, I'm interested.

Is it like this no wait maybe this angle nope urgh godammit

I don't know, I wanna see more, I don't know if I wanted another isometric game from them. I really liked bastion, I just hope this is different enough. Artstyle looks dope.

I think it's a little too early to just call it "Bastion 2." Yes it's using the same engine and has a similar art style, but until I see more of the gameplay beyond isometric beat-em-up, I'm gonna keep an open mind. From what little there was in the trailer it, at the very least, looked like there's a couple new combat mechanics.

This looks gorgeous.

i want songs like that, all the time

inb4 SGG is the new Square Enix.

Edited by Humanity

From the makers of Bastion, comes a game incredibly similar to Bastion, with a brand new soundtrack!

Posted by JEC03

I'll never be into indy games but I hope this game does well Gregg K was one of my favorite game journalist of all time.

Animation looks kind of dumb.

Very nice.

Supergiant really has an amazing knack for art direction.

Redheads and cyberpunk. I'm already in love with it.

Looks like Bastion with a new art style. Hope i'm wrong but what they showed was very close and its

definately a 3/4 top down hack and slash with 2d cut scenes.

That red haired lady was driving a motorcycle with a giant sword on the back. I would be on board even if it wasn't Supergiant.

Posted by bhhawks78

Loved Bastion, totally down for this and basically anything that team makes.

Having seen 'building the bastion' I can imagine all that stuff is subject to change.

I liked the look of the sword mechanic. Reminded me somewhat of okami, it looked like a blue line was drawn on the ground before the attack happened so I'm interested to see what that's all about.
