[Air]

Looks amazing. If it's good I'll be getting it on switch

 

[Aonuma]

Bejeweld ? What ? Do you know what The Witness is ?

I'm being purposely hyperbolic to emphasize my disappointment at the lack of diversity and rewarding exploration in The Witness compared to the more involved game it seemingly promised to be before it launched. Rime's gameplay style, at least in what we've seen, seems more varied and adventurous.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Looks a LOT better than I expected based on what we've heard of the game's development. Hopefully it plays well.

 

[Equanimity]

It looks as good as the initial reveal. I'm in day one

 

[Ahasverus]

This game is made by some people who worked on Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 but didn't show up for the sequel after the drama with the director, so I'm excited, game had great puzzles and level design.

 

[Head.spawn]

Glad to see that they more or less went back to their original vision of the game. Looks nice.

 

[BlizzKrut]

It looks good from the trailer, I hope it turns out to be a good game.

 

[benzopil]

Looks amateurish tbh. Kinda like Stories from previous PS Plus selection. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[tuco11]

Well that looks boring.

 

[Peltz]

Cautiously optimistic for this game. I certainly think this trailer is its best showing by far.

These types of games always seem to take forever to develop: Ico, The Witness, TLG -- all of them had incredibly long development times. I'm hoping Rime ends up being a similarly unique experience (even if these types of games aren't 100% my cup of tea). They're nice worlds in which to get absorbed for a bit.

The Witness was never meant to be about exploration. It's a 3D-puzzle game, a follow-up to Braid, a 2D-puzzle game. It's not comparable with Rime at all.

 

[Gurish]

I expected a downgrade, but wow. It seems they managed to pull it off after all.

Why a downgrade? it's not that impressive technically, beautiful art director though.

 

[Cave Johnson]

I had to go back and watch the gamescom again to see if I was perceiving the new trailer wrong. For some reason, it just feels more flat compared to the more grandeur and atmosphere of the gamescom trailer.

 

[Dariuas]

Damn, that looks gorgeous. So glad it's coming to PC as well!

Glad you think so!

 

[jacobeid]

Is this trailer fake too?

This. I don't believe a thing they say.

 

[silva1991]

That looked good and surprisingly close to the old retailers.

I'm excited again.

 

[LordKano]

Glad you think so!

Are you able to talk about how you got in contact with Nintendo for a Switch release ? It's interesting that Tequilla Works, which never worked with Nintendo, managed to be one of the first indies to work on a game for the system.

Good job for the re-reveal anyway.

 

[Wildstar75]

Looks good, but I think what they showed earlier looked a little better. Still looking forward to it.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Doesn't look quite as good as the original trailer of lies, but still very good.

I'm definitely waiting for reviews and player impressions, but I've high hopes for the game again, if nothing else.

 

[komplanen]

Looks really pretty and all the creatures and settings shown are making me excited!

 

[Pie and Beans]

I imagine its going to be an incredibly basic "go here, this happens" game without much substance since it sounded like development never settled on what the gameplay was ever supposed to be.

 

[sn00zer]

Looking back at the original trailers there was definitely something lost in the art direction and tone. It looks too much like the Witness now and this game has zero chance competing with the Witness in any regard.

 

[Jyrii]

I am still interested.

 

[bud]

the first trailer looked fantastic.

this looks underwhelming.

 

[UCBooties]

I won't believe a thing they show until the game is out and reviewed but hopefully this turns out to be decent.

I was a little disappointed to see enemies, this originally looked more like a pure puzzle and exploration game.

 

[Hindl]

FINALLY!

And on the Switch/PC as well!

 

[OléGunner]

Seems cool! I'm still optimistic after the first trailer of smoke and mirrors and rumoured development hell.

Currently playing TLG and more games in the Team Ico vain are welcome. Good luck to the devs!

 

[Prototype Viktor]

So 2019 release where it works?

 

[valkillmore]

Looks great. Looks fucking great.

Too late tho, stopped playing games.

 

[Horns]

That's a nice surprise.

 

[Peltz]

The Witness was a fantastic puzzle game. It's not Zelda which is more concerned with discovery and traversal.

 

[Elandyll]

I'm more surprised that a small team like Tequila Works could have the game running on all these platforms to do a simultaneous release.

Same for me tbh.

I'd love to know what really happened during the development of the game tbh, from being a PS4 exclusive/ Sony owned IP (with, allegedly, Spain pub funds for devs as well) to a big schism with Sony (again, allegedly on bad reports on testing and not meeting deadlines, with increased pressure from Sony afaik) to getting back their own IP from Sony and backing out of the exclusivity, to releasing, apparently, on 4 platforms simultaneously.

We will probably never know, but man, what a "Journey"

 

[Cardon]

Really going to wait for impressions and what the devs say in interviews since they came across a bit like prats in the past. Concept certainly looks great, but the whole history of this project has been odd and slightly dubious.

 

[Memento]

Looks different. The visuals are nowhere as good as the first reveal.

 

[hemo memo]

Looking back at the original trailers there was definitely something lost in the art direction and tone. It looks too much like the Witness now and this game has zero chance competing with the Witness in any regard.

Yeah first game I thought of.

 

[AgeEighty]

Wow, it's looking great. Awesome to see it go multiplatform, especially on Switch.

Switch is getting one of the games that locked me into a PS4. That's huge.

I'm really happy to see these guys prove Rime hasn't been vaporware.

 

[LordKano]

I won't believe a thing they show until the game is out and reviewed but hopefully this turns out to be decent.

I was a little disappointed to see enemies, this originally looked more like a pure puzzle and exploration game.

Pretty sure we already saw enemies in the first trailer. Some walking eyeball-rock things.

 

[fabricated backlash]

Looks adorable. If the gameplay is good I'll get it on Switch. Looks like a game perfect to play in bed.

 

[privitsan02]

Looks significantly worse than the original trailer and a lot of the magic seems to be gone in comparison. Also Sony backing out from this project should be a red flag, especially given how Deadlight turned out and how long this has been in the making.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Best wishes.

 

[panama chief]

I've been asking about his game for a while. Sign me the fuck up. Day 0

 

[FoneBone]

I have a bad feeling that this is going to be released in a more or less unfinished state (short length, abrupt ending, lack of polish), given the rumors about its development and that it's resurfacing this close to release.

 

[Regiruler]

I haven't even played The Last Guardian but this made me think of The Last Guardian.

 

[Durante]

Well, I suppose gameplay in more of a Bejeweled sense than an Ico sense.

You clearly played a very different The Witness from the one I played.

 

[kiguel182]

Looks cool! Hopefully they deliver it, especially after such a troubled dev cycle.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I don't really like a lot of the framing or camera angles in that trailer. Still looks interesting I guess.

 

[BigEmil]

Skeptical. Ill wait a year from it's release and see how it goes

 

[Mass Effect]

Still looks great (graphics have been downgraded though), but after we found out what happened I think I'll wait for reviews.

 

[black070]

Cautiously optimistic for this one.

 

[Zapages]

Looks more a puzzle game with Team ICO inspiration... Also there doesn't seem to be any combat. Interesting choice.

 

[Takat]

It looks interesting. I hope the puzzles are smart and makes sense, some puzzle game rely on weird logic that only the developers thought of.

Also, Nintendo should really ask for a horizontal logo, where the icon is on the side and the name on the right (or maybe the developers created it themselves).
