fuckin delays. I need it.

He's shooting tears.
 
mm looks like super meat boy style (but darker) with zelda-like dungeons. Pretty nice, interesting trailer.
 
I thought it was something with Dead Space and I was mistaken.
It looks good, like scott pilgrim vs world or that comics with this style good.

Interested..

And that music music. I like.
 
It certainly seems like a more personal game for Edmund. He's one fucked up dude, SMB was kinda light considering the style of his previous games.
 
Goddamn. Not really interested in Roguelikes, but that was a hell of a trailer.
Seconding soundtrack wishes as well.

not really a roguelike, but more with roguelike mechanics.

Its basically original zelda dungeon style + twin stick shooter, only every time you die you die for good and need to start over, and each time the levels are generated randomly so its highly replayable. Like Spelunky.

Hmm, well maybe I'll give it a shot. Its pedigree is certainly something to consider.
But damn, that music really is too good. Geesh.

Team Meat = Day One.

not Team Meat, just Edmund + Florian Himsl (who worked with him on previous games like Coil).

Team Meat is Edmund + Tommy Refenes, and they're working on Game 2, but its gonna be something much bigger than this.

what other games are you talkin bout, I'd like to check them out
 
Maybe I'm missing something but the game footage and the rest of the trailer content looked extremely incongruous to me. Are the mechanics of the game in any way consistent with the tone set by the trailer?

this dude makes weird ass trailers, he made a couple for SMB but i really dig his style for what it is.

The game is basically what i described a few posts above, but the "plot" is creepy as hell, basically his mother wants to sacrifice him to prove her faith to god, so isaac runs into the basement and faces his fears and whatnot, including his brother and sister who were probably already killed by his mother.

I think the trailer does a good job of going along with the tone of the game. I mean the guy's all red and shooting his own tears. Its not supposed to be a survival horror but the story is there.

Well, now I know I'm not grabbing it up. I'm not a fan of arcade shooter/RPG hybrids.

Id hardly call it that. Nothing really RPG about it.

Sounds like a cool idea, I'm just skeptical from what little I've just seen that the actual gameplay (and artstyle, for that matter) really supports or conveys the creepy tone set by the trailer. I'll keep my eye out, in any case.
 
Creepy trailer.

I was already planning on getting this but you totally sold me right there.
 
This will be day one for me (hopefully day -n with a presale).

Does anyone else find this oddly reminiscent of Blaster Master? Mechanics are obviously similar, but I think a lot of it is the big head factor.
 
Gimmeeeeee that goddamn game. It was supposed to be out already :( Free DLC with more stuff 2 weeks after release would have been nice instead of the delay, but maybe its just me. It also would have ignited two points where people might have bought, palyed/replayed the game.
