Wasn't it announced that Shovel Knight was coming this month too?

You should wait until March to watch the new season of House of Cards just to add on to the month

Totally forgot about that! But that's just because it technically starts in February (and I just saw first 2 seasons couple of days ago, so stop reading my mind ). And yeah, forgot about Pillars of Eternity, Ori and the Blind Forest and probably something else. Crazy month!

And to stay on topic - man, no way I'm listening to the whole OST before playing the game, I wanna be surprised. Although, I did take a glance at the track list and I am disappointed at the lack of Carpenter Brut's Escape from Midwich Valley (that song from the trailer)

 

[Maedhros]

The best game on the Vita! I even got the platinum.

Day fucking 1 for this!

 

[TimeEffect]

Any chance they'll utilize the touch pad?

I mean, I could sort of see myself using the touchpad to look ahead or even aim.

 

[lem0n]

Kinda wish i had jumped on that $40 PSTV deal on Amazon, because the only system im going to be able to play this on is a laptop.

Anyone selling a cheap Vita? Lol

 

[br3wnor]

Day fucking 1

Absofuckinglutely. Cannot wait to cop this on Vita, Drive is one of my favorite movies and HM1 is up there for one of my favorite games of the past 5 years. 80s also happen to be my favorite decade aesthetically so this game is like digital heroin for me

 

[Xtra Mile]

Not in Aus on Vita, sigh. PC version it is.

Thats how it used for the PS4 version of the first one IIRC.

 

[Despera]

Great vibe from this one...

Never doubted the quality of the soundtrack for a second.

Amazing that the game is only 2 weeks away.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Does anyone know if the game will launch with the level editor? IIRC it was planned to be post-release content but that was before the delay.

 

[bounchfx]

FUCK YES POUR IT DOWN MY MOUTH LETS GET FILTHY

 

[GK86]

You have my money.

 

[GutsOfThor]

Any idea when PS4 owners can pre-order this?

 

[breadtruck]

FINALLY

This and Binding of Isaac were the only games Ive been looking forward to for the past year.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Any idea when PS4 owners can pre-order this?

Probably on PSN when release gets a bit closer. But if they're letting you pre-load, I'll be holding off after that mess with Grim Fandango.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Will probably be the best indie of 2015. That formula with that music...so good. Getting into a flow with that soundtrack pumping is some of the most satisfying gaming I've had the pleasure of experiencing.

 

[ricelord]

Niiiiiiice.

wait, shovel knight is also coming out next month?

good lord, i don't know if my wallet can take it.

 

[MilkLizard]

I rarely preorder stuff but for this...

So hyped.

 

[red731]

The time has come -

TOO MANY GAMES

 

[Spoo]

Pre-ordered on PC. Can't. Fucking. Wait.

 

[-MD-]

Damn my friend hooked me up with a steam copy while I was sleeping, I'm ready!

 

[DocSeuss]

aww, no digital soundtrack yet?

 

[Burgess_101]

Got two copies of the game (couldn't resist the limited edition) and a tattoo of Tony on my chest I've been ready forever.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

My Vita is ready....


and...

Dennis for life...

 

[Calmine]

Holy shit yes. Can't wait, my Vita is ready, going to New York a week after so this will be perfect for the plane journey.

 

[Thoraxes]

March is moving into wallet slaughter territory for me.

 

[Cannon Goose]

Can I buy this off of GMG and be good to go? I'm in Australia and HLM2 got banned here and isn't on the Steam store

 

[Body_Hammer]

Got a feeling those records won't be leaving my turntable for a while. I'd snap up a HM1 LP set in a heartbeat.

 

[dyergram]

Can't wait for this. Vita and ps4 for me.

 

[Semantic Continuum]

Effin finally.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Pre-ordered on Steam

 

[Spoo]

I'll be rockin' Tony again if it's back for maximum speed run power

 

[Solaire of Astora]

Damn my friend hooked me up with a steam copy while I was sleeping, I'm ready!

You have awesome friends. I know him/her too. Tell him/her to hook me up with a copy for ps4.

Spoiler

Kinda, sorta sarcasm.

The release date is a very pleasant surprise. Will be getting this day 1.

 

[HiiiLife]

Oh shit.

Does steam gifting work between US and Aus anymore ? If so, someone here may be able to help you out if you ask nicely

 

[Vee_One]

Doesn't appear to be on Green Man Gaming in Aus.
It is, however, on the Humble Store....

You can just go to store.steampowered.com/?cc=us (when not logged in, this will show the US store), add Hotline Miami 2 to your cart, go to the checkout, login and you'll be able to purchase it. This is what I did and it worked fine.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Yes! Can't wait.

I had forgotten about that little trick. Thanks!

 

[Dr. Buni]

Hotline Miami was the game that showed me that indie games can be incredible. Can't wait for the sequel!

This is insanely good.

Whats better to get this on? PS4 or PC?

I played the first game on PC and loved it but when I played it on PS4 I had a very hard time with the controls and it's like I went from a pro on PC to total noob on PS4.

m/kb dominates for this game, so PC is a no brainer. Hotline Miami on PS3 was way harder to control, and on Vita it was unplayable for me.


Just ordered mine through GMG! March is gonna be so sick for games I cannot wait.

My personal preference would probably be PC > PSVita > PS4 = PS3. The touchscreen does wonders for your accuracy.

Hopefully the PlayStation versions are triple cross-buy.

 

[LesPaul]

I am dancing due to excitment.

 

[ldcommando]

The 2015 goty finally has a date. Pre-ordered the special edition already. Hyped as fuck.

Vita was the best for me, very fast and snappy with those sticks with shorter travel distance and lock on aim. PC is fine too obviously due to accurate mouse aiming.

 

[Nozem]

I completed the game on PS4 before realizing you could lock on to people. Subsequent playthroughs were much easier.

I didn't have trouble with the PS3 version or PS4 version, but PC is easier to play. I'm playing on PS4 first due to my sound system.

 

[Shari]

Anyone has videos of this game from people who master it?

I had a blast playing through this and I'd really like to see some videos from speedruners and/or masters of mayhem!

Also, the music rocks, not that anyone didnt know.

Here's a run I did recently. click me

~34 minutes. And not all levels (I just do to the main storyline's end, since I don't really run it seriously). Recently discovered the game, honestly, but have put like 48 hours into it. I love it. It's not WR pace (at all) but for how many hours I have put in, I'm pleased with my progress. 2 Weeks ago the best I could do was an hour.

Can't wait for HM2.
