Quick Look: EX: Shadow Complex

CURRENT GEN.............................Really, i thought people moved on from the "next gen" mentality
 
as soon as all 3 consoles were out, i considered it  current gen

Absolutely killer. This is the future. Day 1 purchase.

gonna get this, looks pretty sweet

I wish they'd make this even longer and make it a full retail game. I mean, why does there seem to be some sort of rule that anything not on the Wii can't have a "2.5D" perspective? But I'll definitely take $15 if it is indeed an 8 hour game.

Looks very good.

With the design and depth of content, seems like it could easily be a full retail release. Lucky us it isn't!

Forgot to mention, I love the restraint you guys showed while he was throwing around crap like "NEXT GEN" and "ANY REAL GAMER".

This game looks nuts. I was skeptical of the whole 'next-gen Metroidvania' concept until I saw this; now I'm sold. Too bad the video is kind of short.

I must say that looks rather good, but then, I've always been a sucker for anything remotely metroid-vania-ish.
 
I wish it was coming out on PS3! Or... I wish I didn't resent my 360 as much for being out of warranty and partial to chewing up any optical medium that goes near it. :(

looking forward to playing the hell out of this game

Looks like they finally put in a proper death animation for the spider thing. :p

Looks really good!

I guess this will be my first real Arcade purchase

I never would have guessed that one of my most hyped games this year would be an XBLA game, but Shadow Complex is. It doesn't look cool or nifty -- it looks utterly superb, which can't be said for most of the stuff on XBLA.

" Holy shit, Nolan North. Haha. "

... God damn-it, why does the Summer of Arcade title I want most have to come out the day I'll possibly be in hospital all day?
 
 I still have to get through SotN anyway, barely touched that for some reason.

" I had no intention in buying this game until now, it looks amazing!  :D can't wait! "

Anyone else do an eye roll at "true gamer" ?

 The aiming mechanics remind me of Killzone Liberation, but tighter in SC's flat 2D than in KZ:L's isometric view. 
 
I love that dude came out of the arachno-mech thingy to kick some more ass. The attention to detail seems really tight.
The name sucks, but I could care less as this looks like the fucking spiritual successor to Flashback (but with more kickassery). And at $15 I can't say no. Nor do I want to.

" Anyone else do an eye roll at "true gamer" ? "

I'm praying for its release on PC.

" Empire was a TERRIBLE novel, making a game based on that fiction probably wasn't the best idea. "

I have to say...I am impressed. This looks to be worth my $15 dollars.

Looks good considering I knew nothing about it other than the title, I might even buy it now. Also is it me or does the hero in Shadow Complex look and sound somewhat similar to Nathan Drake?

lol @ in-game homestarrunner reference.

looks pretty good!

ugh 9:27, a leap of faith jump. can not stand those in video games. 
 
jumping off a cliff in hopes of there being a ledge underneath to keep you from instant death. 
 
dunno why lots on here are seeming to like this, its boring me out of my mind.

one weapon for red doors another for green dude so nostalgic!

Game looks awesome.  I'll pick it up for sure.

This looks amazing!

I didn't realise until now that this guy (Nolan North) has done the voice work for a whole bunch of awesome characters.  I had no idea there was a male equivalent of Jennifer Hale.

This looks awesome.

Im getting this.. Im guessing its going to be 1200 points?

OH man, makes me wish I had an Xbox, I better get an Xbox by Christmas.

Looks sweet!  Is this reason enough for an x360?  My poor ps3...

Ok watched it now.  This looks incredible, $15 seems mad cheap.

" CURRENT GEN.............................Really, i thought people moved on from the "next gen" mentality  as soon as all 3 consoles were out, i considered it  current gen "

Wow, 5 years in and still calling it a next-gen game. Fucking ridiculous.

This looks really neat! I wouldn't even have thought that another studio would think to do a 2D/3D Metroidvania-type game in this day and age. Konami, Nintendo, you've finally gotten some competition =)

This game has been on my radar since they announced it at E3, but this video just solidified my purchase of this game.

Isn't this basically the same thing they've been showing off at every other place?  =  / 
 
However, this time, we have the witty quips of the GB crew. 
 
*EDIT*  WAIT, AUGUST 19TH?!?!?!  WHAT THE FUCK?!  I thought they had it set for next week!!!  *UGH* 
 
Oh well, means I have more time to work on my 100k XP on Red Faction before the DLC drops NEXT WEEK!!!
