Really enjoying this game so far. I may be addicted to the elevator level
Sadly made no difference to me, got the update before starting again though. Very choppy, especially when standing still while enemies explodes into pieces. Someone said it is mainly the Steam version that has problems.

Another cool gif but also a gameplay mechanic spoiler.
And another, same gameplay spoiler.
Another one.
Quantum Break got some competition!

Yes. It's also a fantastic "hotseat" game with friends. The 20/60 second race modes are brilliant for that as well - although the 60 second real-time countdown can be a bit stressfull for newcomers.
I'm not at home right now so I can't try, but combining analogue stick movement and mouse aiming could work. I know playing on a pad lets you seamlessly control the speed with the movement stick.

Yeah, an analog stick is wonderful for this game. Gives you so much more control. It's genuinely more fun with it.
(It depresses me that standard PC movement controls are still stuck with digital. Digital has its uses -- I love shoot-em-ups and fighting games -- but fine-grained 3D space movement isn't necessarily one of them.)

Wow, that's fantastic! Looking forward to hearing more news about it soon.
I've been playing a bit of the Endless modes in Superhot, and I agree with what others have said: Endless is probably the real meat of the game. It's going to be a great game to pull out when I have 20 minutes to kill.

Game says my replays were uploaded, but I wasn't able to register a Killstagram account yesterday. What happens to those replays?
Was doing the Katana Only version of the Oldboy Corridor level. I felt that the two assault rifle guys at the end was a really tricky situation to be put into with only a melee weapon to utilize. That was until I winged it and threw my Katana which accidentally landed onto one of the props which ended up stunning the red guys and have them drop their guns, giving me ample time to reacquire my Katana and slice them into polygon shreds.
This game is an absolute marvel when it comes to improvisational action which I haven't felt since the first Hotline Miami. A lot of the time it has a habit of even making the mistakes feel intentional in a "yeah, I meant to do that" kind of way". This is the closest a game has ever felt to recapturing these over-the-top zany action cutscenes you see in movies like The Matrix and games like Devil May Cry.
And really, even though the story is somewhat heavy-handed and rather short the Challenge Maps and Endless Mode more than makes up for it. It's like Portal in that the game is so tightly knit that it doesn't overstay it's welcome and offers a bunch of replay value.
It might just end up being my GOTY.
Anyway here's a replay I made.

It sets up an account with a random name for you automatically, then uploads the replays with random names to that account. At least that's what it appears to be doing. Clicking on replays from the game's main menu will take you to your account page on Killstagram and the replays should be shown there.
damn, there's a difference? I only played with m/kb. I might wait for PS4 version to replay with controller for a new experience.

Late game spoiler question:
When you hotswitch, can you grab weapons and items you have thrown at "yourself"? Like throw a shotgun to a guy, switch to that guy, catch the shotgun?
Yes. I haven't done it myself but Super Bunnyhop does this in his review.

An analog keyboard would be super useful especially in Dishonored or other games where leaning is an all-or-none input on keyboard but on controller, you can control how much you want to lean.
I have done it and it is awesome.
My Killstagram uploads are all just low quality youtube videos while others seem to be decent quality webms. What gives?
Yeah, that works great except for some reason i cannot jump while moving anymore when i'm using the ps4 controller and a mouse, is there anyway to rebind keys from configs so that i could change the jump from spacebar to somewhere else?

SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT.
Just looked at some of the gifs in the thread and I hear "this is the most innovative shooter in years". Now I don't particularly care for the genre in the slightest, so it looks same-old, same-old... just with a shiny minimal coat of paint. What makes this special? Could you recommend it to someone who hates shooters aside from the extremely offbeat, innovative takes a la Splatoon, Vanquish, Mirror's Edge or Portal?

I think I messed around with the HUD in replay mode too much because now in the main game I got no reticle. Anyone know how to bring back the HUD?

I have not read through the entire thread so I don't know if this is common knowledge yet BUT...you can totally pull out the camera during replays to a third person free-floating camera.
I'm not exactly sure how the controls totally work as there's very little feedback and it seems almost glitchy, but try fiddling with the numpad while F5'd into the replay. Press "0" on the numpad to get free-floating camera control. You can then zoom around and mouse look with WASD like any old FPS spectator free-cam. Once you have that control I'm not clear how to control the speed. 1+3, or 7+9 seem to work but I can't get it to function correctly while in the free-cam mode.
Maybe it was a glitchy feature they decided to leave in for fun and doesn't totally work. But I did have fun watching the events play out from above. The game even jokes that "it's for the PC MASTER RACE only" so I don't know if it's even an option on a controller sadly.
*edit* Added actual key that activates the free-cam. ("0" on numpad)
I found this out by listening to the in-game fake IRC room for what felt like a solid 20 minutes

you don't see the red launcher? I pumped it up to 1440 there.

Honestly, I have to agree that it's the most innovative shooter I've played in years.

Can you slow down time in replays? There's moments where I (not really a gameplay spoiler but I'll be careful)
but it doesn't come up well in the full speed replay
shoot a bullet in mid air
It's a unity game, it won't run higher then your desktop resolution no matter what you set it too, so if you want to downsample you need to change your desktop resolution to whatever you want to downsample from before launching the game.
I've played way too much in the past few hours, but every time I pull off a feat like:
-slice bullet in half
-slice shooter of bullet in half
-throw katana at another enemy
-grab gun they drop
-shoot third enemy
-turn 180 for next wave
it still feels fresh and gives a kick like no other. The fact there are only a handful of weapons really makes it easy to quickly assess a situation and come up with a solution instantly, and it feels so good EVERY TIME. Really interested to see if they will expand upon it, but right now I'm hooked.

Same. I uploaded a replay in the hallway on Katana Only, but the replay doesn't show up
And btw Katana Only is amazing. Slicing bullets never gets old

I fucking love this game so far. Playing on a Macbook Pro Retina and I was really worried about performance but it seems to be running smooth, granted it is in a window, but it is fine.
Just wish the button prompts in the game matched the actual buttons on the controller.
I am using a 360 controller with the drivers I got here.
Anyone else have other drivers or controllers they use on a Mac? I basically have all modern console controllers. I really do not game on the Mac much, but wanted to play SuperHot on the Go as it seems like the perfect game.
