Oh mah dear LAWD. It must be mine, as John Kovalic would say.

Oh how cool. Serious wow factor at a few moments.

That is a pretty damn awesome looking trailer.

For some reason it reminds of Another World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgkf6wooDmw).

It reminds me of World of Goo, looks-wise.

Neet.

Brings back memories of buying 3.5" discs with Commander Keen and other games.

God.Damn.


That sure pushes a few buttons.



Kicks Spore groin wise.  (first thing that came to me)

Ah, I thought the style looked familiar. (http://www.gagneint.com/Final%20site/insanelytwisted.com/main.htm)

Yeh I got touch of that off it too, with a twist of world of Goo. Looks awesome.

I don't get it. Its a side scroller. Trailer has fierce music, and the art is nice.

Side Scroller isn't a genre. Maybe that's where you're having a problem?

I'd play that for the music alone.

No, its not a genre, but its a game mechanic/style/whathaveyou. Maybe I just really shouldn't have posted here, since I don't think I understand the love for "2-D" side-scrolling games at this stage of gaming complexity.

Looks like a remake of Solar Jetman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaTJAw0QDH0). That game rocked :awesome_for_real:

Dimmu Borgir (http://www.dimmu-borgir.com/)

Mechanically, a 2D platformer can do most of the stuff that a scripted 3D shooter does. It's just that this one has divine art style and evokes the atmosphere of genius games of the past.

No kidding, I am looking up the band right now.  I hadn't heard of Dimmu Borgir before and I listen to a lot of NuclearBlastEurope's featured music.

That game will kick my ass.

It's not real. It was a leaked demo to a group of venture capitalists. Meaning that it probably won't get made.

This looks like it was derived from the Experimental Gameplay Project.


Title: Re: Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Post by: Mrbloodworth on July 23, 2009, 12:05:57 PM
It looks like most of it was done with swift3D.

Great style however.

Dimmu Borgir (http://www.dimmu-borgir.com/)
Blood Hunger Doctrine from Death Cult Armageddon, to be exact! Overrated band anyway. :grin:

Reminded me to link you Bloodworth a song, so here's a derail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWG-7S5NOXA

Play it in high quality. Local band, thought you might like it. I certainly do.

Reminds me of Cybernoid for some reason:

I can't put my finger on who they sound like. Well, the non-throat parts are throwing me off.

Not sure how some of you don't know Dimmu Borgir, they are almost the pop of Black/death metal, well, in popularity and style. IE:

EDIT: Now i know why the sound familiar, at least the vocalist. Jörgen Sandström (ex Entombed / Grave, Krux, Vicious Art) Loved me some grave, especially You'll Never See..., and soulless.

/hardcore necrology

Game FINALLY released on XBLA a fews days ago.  Of course, I dont have my 360 with me now and cant play the damned thing, so I dont have any meaningful input.  Reviews are stellar as expected though.  And there is a trial.

Enjoy and report.
