Oh, did it?
Damn.
Aah well, I was planning to double dip anyway.
Yes, unfortunately.
Was probably my second most anticipated launch window game behind Zelda.

I think the name isn't great, and this doesn't seem very difficult(albeit based on a short trailer), and more like an old rare collectathon style game?
I love the look of it though and dude is a top 5 video game snake immediately
I mean he's no kirkhope but he's okay when you want something almost as good

Generally speaking that means they only extensively tested it on Win10, not that it won't run on 7/8.

What's the framerate on Switch and PS4? I scanned the thread but didn't see anything.
Great trailer, definitely getting it. And dat music.
Probably as in "Windows store"
Not sure about 7.

The price still being weeks away seems rather strange, especially as the game releases in just a month-and-a-half. I wonder if Sumo is fearing some degree of backlash? I can see it being $30 if there are quite a lot of levels, which would ruffle the feathers of those who don't like the idea of paying a "premium price" for an indie game.
More than 20 would be too much for me to be there at launch. Otherwise everything about this games sounds down my alley.
Also YouTube link in the OP is broken?
Genuinely had no idea this was announced for Switch. Good stuff.
I find it interesting how the trailer has the Switch logo appear first on the left (well, after the Unreal Engine logo), and then again, in the description, the Switch is mentioned first. And let's not forget the Switch Twitch stream.
Looks like they want to push the Switch version.
Also, they just removed the trailer (which was unlisted before that, btw).

but the other platformers I played (mario, crash, etc) have ennemies or at least challenge against the environnement. Here all I see are fire and pits.
Between Switch + games and Horizon et al, this part of the year is freaking stacked. This is definitely on my radar. Hopefully they release it at a price in impulse buy territory. Looks like a neat take on 3d platforming.

Personally I hate Kirkhope. Almost all of his songs are nothing but two notes of alternating tubas, basic percussions, and a xylophone melody. I mean you couldn't find more basic in terms of song structure.
I think they want to tie it to the Switch's launch for a lot of sales. If they market it wisely and gear it towards Switch owners, it could possibly become their best selling platform.
On PS4 it's just another indie game. On Switch it's a good proposition in the launch month when there's not much else.

The Switch launch is getting better and better. Zelda + Snipperclips + Snake Pass all in the same month.

Game looks lovely. Man, this is one of the greatest first quarters in gaming history.
Yup - there is much less competition on Switch. On the other system it not only competes with a bunch of available indie games but with all the Q1 retailer releases. The fact that there is a Switch version put the game on the radar for alot of people.

Don't know for sure but I think I heard both are locked at 30. Wouldn't be surprised if it's 60 on PS4 and 30 on Switch.
If I'm not mistaken this will also be the very first Switch game running on UE4.
Graphically it could be the most impressive third party game for a while.

Was thinking it was gonna take them about a year to port this from their PC version! Good on them for getting it out so close to launch!
Not a huge fan of 3D platformers (unless theyre mario) but since my Switch may be a Zelda Machine I may have to get this, looks fun.
