Can't wait to play this on my laptop, I can have some discount if I owned the first one on Steam, right?

That's the plan, yeah.

The controller pictures make it sound like you can shoot in any direction, rather than just four directions like the original. Is this confirmed anywhere, or shown in any videos?

Nintendo would be stupid not to let this game happen on their systems.
That aside, can't wait for this, I've put in over 100 hours into the original.
Seeding is also cool, but I think the current BoS tourneys will want to still keep it random for all competitors.

In the second video with the Camo Kidd (yea it's hard to actually see Isaac) thing, you can see tears coming out diagonally.

Excellent news about the controller configuration. I lost my patience pretty quickly with the original Binding of Isaac in large part thanks to the lack thereof; I can't stand having to fiddle with applications like Joy2Key to actually PLAY a damn game.
Competitions like that can now actually be taken seriously, yes.
This looks awesome. Plus or not I will have it.
All of this is not a concern on the PS4 or indeed any modern console, where the upscaling is not an issue to the consumer and can be controlled by the developer, and the signal is clean HDMI.
To answer your question a little more specifically, SNES stuff looks fine if you scale the output to 1080p (or the nearest exact pixel scale fit) using nearest neighbor filtering, but if you plug a SNES into your TV the TV will try to scale the already really fuzzy signal from the composite cable to 1080 with their built-in scalers, which are trash for games and meant for movies. This makes it even fuzzier. Even just modding a SNES to use RGB/SCART can improve the picture quality.

Yeah, I want to know this as well. I want the Vita version of this game but I'm really worried that its going to get heavily delayed like 1001 Spikes which is still completely absent from the EU store.

because people actually own one of those
I will buy this uberly hard on PC and 3ds if so
Looking at the videos, this gives me "sequel vibes". You know how when you first play a sequel of a game, you (hopefully) notice it's better and more amazing than the first game?

This.
I hate it when Europe gets releases months after the US date. I would have bought 1001 Spikes day one, but we're still waiting for a hint of an EU release date, and I'm losing interest as other games actually make it over here (Rogue Legacy, Swapper etc).
I just hope that as BoI is such a high profile release there is a consistent launch date across regions.
Ah yes, as opposed to those thoroughly niche platforms 'PC' and 'PS4'

Lol I love how he says "You probably have no idea who the hell I am." Yeah Tyrone, as a European, I really don't.
Either way, should be getting a release date trailer pretty soon according to Ed.
/my ongoing paranoia that Nicalis will royally fuck the European release of Binding as they have every other game they've released ever.

I'm honestly really worried because there's nothing to say this time will be any different. Two months since the 1001 Spikes release in America and nothing. No communication whatsoever. I understand localisation is a bitch of a process, but at least devs like the Shovel Knight guys actually let us know what's going on.
Btw, QA testing for this game starts on Friday. Don't know how long that takes.

I guess we'll have a release date soon enough.
And yeah, 3DS is honestly the last platform I'd play it on as I'd much rather have twin sticks than left stick + stylus or left stick + buttons. Particularly if there are diagonal shots.

God, I hope not.
Yeah, I've come to hate that thing. PS4 remote play has made it unbearable.

Wuhhh? How come? I was gonna buy this but I guess I don't have to.
Not really much point in that considering the original game and WOTL is included with Rebirth's release.
This is absolutely a day zero purchase for me. Can't wait. BOI was one of my favourite games, sank so many hours into it. Have been holding off playing for a while now to make Rebirth as fun as possible, going to be awesome.
I think it'll still bind the analog sticks to the digital shooting. Would be too much of a change between the control schemes if not. I'd be interested to hear if that's not the case though.

Yeah, it's locked to 60 FPS too, since some items like the Piece of Coal actually gain in power depending on the amount of frames it spend in the map. So, that's why they lock it.

Because it has a bottom screen that would be able to contain the mini-map, plus information on all power-ups you've collected on your run, leaving the upper screen completely clutter free and most likely providing for an all round more enjoyable portable experience than the Vita has (especially in light of the fact that the Vita isn't going to have all the flash and graphical pizzazz that the console/PC version will).
It's not exactly port-begging when the developer has consistently teased the game on the 3DS, something that I'm sure is more effort required than is necessary for it to all just be an elaborate troll.
At this point I'm choosing to believe that the game is a timed exclusive for Vita/PS4, and it will be heading to the 3DS at some point.
I had the impression that full analog shooting was the effect of a new bonus, not that you had it as default. Am I wrong?
HelenKeller:BlindDeafDTF

Wow, you're totally right. I guess I should have watched both videos before asking questions.
Who knows if it will head to 3DS but it's still port begging. Also if the Vita is going to look worse than the PC/PS4 imagine how much worse the 3DS version is going to look. Also if you play it in 3D the game will probably be 30fps unless they can get the game running at 120fps on 3ds.
It is port begging, and Nintendo have already blocked the game due to questionable content.
If you want portable BoI, just grab a Vita. Don't hang on for a butchered late port that likely ain't gonna happen anyway.

Perhaps the most exciting thing in those videos is the hinting that there might be cheat/challenge codes related to the seed inputs.
I know Nintendo's rules on religious content have thwarted their previous efforts to release through e-shop, but is there anything stopping them from just releasing a physical cart for 3DS? I'd buy it, even at full price.

The full physical release follows the same protocol as the digital release so it would be the same problem.

Edmund's blog post last week said they are going into the "heavy tuning/polish phase." So I'd bet we see it by at least October.
