Yeah, I love everything about this game looks and sounds. Day 1, all versions.
Greg, can you confirm if the protagonist's name is, in fact, "Red" as the text in the trailer implies?

Bastion had supergarbage gameplay but the music was absolutely amazing.
Need the full version of that song in this trailer.

Art looks good, music is good, but not sold on that gameplay. If it's as crazy repetitive as Bastion's combat ended up being...meh. I ended up beating that game just because the narrator's sexy voice. Soooo boring.
And that walking animation...

Yeah in completely baffled by how people could say bastion was repetitive. Did they not try different loadouts? Not only that but the stages each presented new challenges most of the time, and if they didn't they were fairly short and sweet. The game was perfectly paced and didn't over stay its welcome at all. To each their own I suppose, but I just don't get it.
Looks really awesome. As others said, I really hope the song is representative of the other songs on the soundtrack. I can't speak to how the game plays until I try it this weekend, (assuming there isn't a 3 hour line at the booth), so I'll withhold judgement until then.
Pretty hyped.

Yes, she's called Red. Nice avatar!

You can play it in Google Chrome.
Loved the art and the song was great.
The main character design seems to follow Cloud (FF7) too closely - motorcycle and a wide bladed sword. Maybe that was the intention. I wouldn't mind anyway since I loved FF7. And anything from Bastion creator - goes into my shopping cart.

Greg,
I know you haven't announced a publisher yet. Can you give an indication of whether or not you guys are releasing this independently or are pursuing a publishing relationship but just can't talk about it yet because of some barrier to doing so?
Best of luck with the PAX demos and the rest of development.

Does this mean the character will be voiced by Ashley Barrett? Keeping with the silent protagonist? I understand if these are details that can't be revealed.
I'm in love with the art. Jen is certainly one of my favorite artists.
Too early to say. We just announced the game -- you found out about it same time as everyone else...!

Didn't play Bastion, heard mixed things and wasn't that interested anyway.
This... looks interesting to me.
Doesn't get much better than cyberpunk or deco for me. This is both.

Looks fantastic. However... to me, the use of a heroine seems so contrived. Call me crazy but I think they're using a female lead character in order to win the hearts of the the feminist twitter crowd. After all, the success of indie titles is heavily dependent on the word of mouth through social networks.
I think you are way too much into this shit.
It's a vidya game, just enjoy it for what it is.

I'm just going to assume this post was satirical, so that I can get on with my day.

Do we really know enough about this project to make this kind of determination? You're acting like this game is being financed by Pinterest.
Yeah, I maybe I should have, too.

Looks great!
I'm loving this Cyberpunk revival.

I hope she doesn't kiss a man, ew.
I'll echo the gameplay wary-ness. I didn't mind it as much as some people (in fact I enjoyed it all the way through), but I definitely didn't think there was enough depth for a second playthrough, nevermind a second game. So jury's out there.
But the look, feel, sound, sensibility - all looks up to snuff. So I'm on board.

Yeah, aspects of this will become clearer from the playable thing we have at PAX.

I hope they release a game+soundtrack bundle, if so day one on Steam
Oh man, I keep looping the trailer - fantastic eye-candy and ear-candy combined together.
I think Ashley Barrett is definitely geared towards more of this type of jazzy tunes (mixed with a bit of trance). So gooood - already liking this song much more than Bastion's "Build That Wall".
