Giant Bomb Presents: No Metroid? No Problem, We've Got Axiom Verge

Tom Happ is developing the heavily Metroid-inspired Axiom Verge all by himself. It looks absolutely amazing, and tried to learn a bit more about it at E3 this year.

Giant Bomb Presents is giantbomb.com's home for interviews, previews, and more.

They just missed a "we", your mind will usually fill it in for you.

I'm not excited about most games these days, but this one I am. As long as it comes to PC.

Sounds good but I hope he (Tom) understands that he needs to make a really polished, seemingly well-tested game that plays a first-time without a hitch. The fun or thrill of a speedrun is painstakingly figure out a way how to glitch or sequence-break the game in a way that the developer never intended. Hopefully, these speedrun opportunities won't be too obvious in this new game. Sounds like he gets the idea.

I don't trust people who pronounce Mario as Mare-io.

Not sure what happened there. I'll give it a look. Sounded OK when I gave it a listen, I'll give it another shot.

This guy is crazy. The time it would take to develop the art assets, alone...

I'm buying a PS4 for this game... if I don't own one sooner, of course.

In case you haven't noticed, it seems quite a few games worth buying are going to be exclusive to the PS4 for the foreseeable future. If you don't plan on buying one, then just bring yourself back down to reality and remember PC gamers don't always get everything they want.

Edit: Also, people judging this guy for how he pronounces Mario...are you fucking serious? People pronounce words differently, especially if they have accents. You're judging him just because he says Mario differently than you do? And we wonder why people completely dismiss gamers as immature...

I just could not get interested in this game, the art style did nothing for me.
