GeoramA · (10-11-2010, 02:07 PM)

Gonna be the best Halloween I've had in a while thanks to this game.

slaughterking · (10-11-2010, 02:11 PM)

I will buy it anyway, but I hope this game offers a good amout of content for 15 bucks.

mileS · (10-11-2010, 02:12 PM)

I wonder what the fries turn into for battle :lol

Gowans · (10-11-2010, 02:13 PM)

Lovley this & Pinball FX2 this week.

I'll let the Mrs play this one first.

SolidSnakex · (10-11-2010, 02:14 PM)

Thanks, updated OP

jetsetfluken · (10-11-2010, 02:19 PM)

Can't wait for this, hopefully this will satisfy my childhood Halloween memories since this year (like the last many many years) Halloween will just be another day for me.

A great little title to complement all the huge Q4 retail stuff for sure.:D

Only in the US though. PSN updates in Europe are on Wednesday.

I am actually suprised by the date. I did not know that it will be released next week already. Day 1 of course.

The Technomancer · (10-11-2010, 02:21 PM)

Whoah, its out already? If I owned a PS3 or 360 I'd be there day one, as is if it ever gets PC release I'll grab it.

Also, the carnival is selling Meat Cones? It wouldn't be a ...meat circus, would it?

Princess Skittles · (10-11-2010, 02:22 PM)

I hope this ends up being good, gameplay wise and it doesn't end up trying to sell you on the "concept" alone (ala Comic Jumper).

mrwilt · (10-11-2010, 02:26 PM)

There's no way that dude is going to fit in that cannon. Game looks awesome!

Jme · (10-11-2010, 03:39 PM)

Found some gameplay videos on IGN, added to the OP

HamPster PamPster · (10-11-2010, 03:50 PM)

IT HAS A WHEELIE BUTTON!!!

I declare that an ungodly amount of awesome. Stupid wheelie shoes only hitting after I grew up. Now I get my very own pair to zip around with :D

Calling it now, the special / secret boss is a stomach ache! (or maybe a toothbrush)

quickwhips · (10-11-2010, 04:13 PM)

This looks amazing and I knew nothing about it. Thanks for the OT. :)

Tadale · (10-11-2010, 04:15 PM)

I really can't wait for this game, especially after reading that quote from Tasha Harris where she cites Earthbound as an influence for the game.

BatDan · (10-11-2010, 04:18 PM)

I'm all over this when it comes out. I love Double Fine, and the premise alone hooked me.

You should add the Quick Look: http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-...quest/17-3303/

deadmuffin · (10-11-2010, 04:21 PM)

Awwww yeeeaaah. I am excited. I can't trick or treat this year, but costume quest is a healthy alternative

momolicious · (10-11-2010, 04:22 PM)

I wish they would comment on the length. I really hope it isn't a 2 hour game

Darkgran · (10-11-2010, 04:24 PM)

Next week is going to be fantastic. With this and Fallout New Vegas dropping next week I'm a happy camper. I might put Fallout New Vegas on hold just to play this. I am that excited for it.

I love gaming.

It's going to be a small thing. I would say the length of one of the Penny Arcade games, judging from production time and scope of the project being what it is.

Koomaster · (10-11-2010, 04:31 PM)

You don't know how badly I need a meat cone!

Been hyped for this the past two months, only one more week to wait. I'm very excited as I love Halloween! ^_____^

Keavy_Rain · (10-11-2010, 05:26 PM)

After Brutal Legend, I swore I'd buy any Double Fine game sight unseen.

Costume Quest will be mine. Oh, yes. It will be mine.

GAF needs some new words to describe things! :p

Looking forward to it, but may have to wait to pick it up.

notworksafe · (10-11-2010, 05:33 PM)

Atheist-GAF is clearly into this game...makes sense since it's about the Devil's holiday.

Seriously though, this looks awesome and I can't wait to play it!

Painraze · (10-11-2010, 05:34 PM)

cant wait for this :D :D

Max · (10-11-2010, 05:41 PM)

PSN version a day earlier? Guess I'll be getting it there then. :D

StarEye · (10-11-2010, 05:45 PM)

Ungodly

Kaldea · (10-11-2010, 05:57 PM)

I've never heard of this, but now I want it.

sweetvar26 · (10-11-2010, 06:32 PM)

I can't wait to try this ungodly game out.

HamPster PamPster · (10-11-2010, 06:40 PM)

I hope there is a new game plus and secret bosses to find

I'd hate to beat the story and not have anything do other than collecting. This seems like a game I really want to sink a lot of time into

bjork · (10-11-2010, 06:41 PM)

I watched the quick look on this, and I wish I had a way to be on XBLA or PSN so I could play this. No chance of a PC version, I'm guessing?

THE Caffeinated · (10-11-2010, 06:42 PM)

Woo clothing party.

JetBlackPanda · (10-11-2010, 06:42 PM)

yes OT is here! very nice.

and to continue the original costume quest thread

DAY ONE

Danielsan · (10-11-2010, 06:46 PM)

Damn, for some reason I thought this was coming out this week.
Ooh well. Can't freaking wait. :D

Dark Octave · (10-11-2010, 06:47 PM)

So this is a turn based RPG?

Four party member characters to control at once?

Never heard of this game but now I'm excited for it. Looks good.

Thanks, I added this to the ungodly OP.

I assumed the ungodly thing was a silently running inside joke and not some form of hive-mind lack of adjectives but oh well

Reluctant-Hero · (10-11-2010, 07:10 PM)

Yup, add me to the day one sales list. I've got my 1200 M$ points at the ready. I hope there are secret costumes that have yet to be revealed. The official website already reveals a good number.

Corto · (10-11-2010, 07:31 PM)

Unholy good.

KaYotiX · (10-11-2010, 07:44 PM)

omg this looks awesome!!

ULTROS! · (10-11-2010, 10:23 PM)

I might buy this if the reviews are good, I like the demo, and its pretty long. :D
