Support NeoGAF

[wetflame]

One of my all time favourite little games this. I cannot wait for the remake. It will be immediately bought. I've been holding off going back to the original so I can enjoy this all over again.

 

[moggio]

Cannot come soon enough.

 

[Easy_D]

God, I can't wait to participate in daily runs with the rest of GAF. I'm much better at BoI than I am at Spelunky

 

[cakely]

Had no idea this existed and now I want, want, want.

Good riddance, Flash.

 

[BULLH0RN]

Those Greed's will know when they get burned in flame, that Bullhorn is hyped for this motherfuckin' game!

 

[Akai__]

Holy shit, brimstone will be even more OP now.

Unfortunately, Brimsnapping will no longer be possible, which is kinda sad, because that was easily my favourite glitch and really OP. I hope, that other items will make up for it.

 

[jblank83]

oh god, oh god yes... @_@

 

[jgminto]

Awesome, one of the few problems with the original is that unique style tears couldn't really be modified much. I wanna see what you can do with Mom's Knife now.

 

[Nillansan]

Bring it.

 

[Chronoja]

Oh my...this...is glorious. I knew it would be but it still has surprised me. Can't get here soon enough.

 

[Mechanized]

This looks so much better than the original.

 

[The Real Abed]

I hated the earlier 16-bit look but man it's getting so much better looking. I approve. Looking forward to it.

 

[OniBarubary]

GIVE IT TO ME IN MY BLOOD

God, this is how you get more money from me as a consumer. I bought Isaac on a sale for 3 something with Wrath of the Lamb. I have put more time into that game than almost any other and will not be waiting on a sale to get the remake but will instead be buying it once on Steam and once on Vita.

Because it has earned it.

 

[Grief.exe]

It will be just about the perfect time to get back into the game for me.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Awesome that this is on PS+.

Would have bought it regardless though.

 

[tyronerodriguez]

my Linux is ready!

It's already running on Linux. And Windows and OSX.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Will be getting this.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Looks awesome. And I really like the new gore style.

 

[PAULINK]

Bring it.

I hated this game after playing it for over 160 hours in 1-2 months and getting this achievement.

But god damn it I'm going to do it again.

 

[Scrooged]

So much hype.

 

[Con_Smith]

Is that first gif multiple Lust enemies or am I tripping.

 

[tyronerodriguez]

It's a dev environment where we can spawn whatever we want in any room.

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

I'd love to see a full playthrough. Art style is so much better than before. Plus getting away from flash should drastically increase stability.

 

[ampere]

Looking so good. I'm ready to double dip and play for many more hours.

 

[Con_Smith]

Cool cool. No matter how impatient I get I'm glad this is happening, and you have my dosh once this comes out.

 

[tyronerodriguez]

Probably MUCH closer to release. The code is 100-percent C++ running on our own engine, which does 60fps on everything--including 3DS. Isaac should be the same and we're adding a lot of effects that would be impossible with AS, if we wanted to maintain 60fps

Man really hope this gets on the 3DS even if the release for it is later then the others.

Wait, this is getting a 3DS release or do your mean games using your engine gets 60fps on 3DS?

 

[the chris]

I thought that it wasn't going to be on 3DS because Nintendo didn't like a lot of the religious themes going on in this game.

 

[tyronerodriguez]

I hope so, too. I haven't stopped trying and won't.

Engine gets 60fps on 3DS. Everything we've released so far and will release soon (1001 Spikes, Grinsia) on 3DS also runs at 60

Aww I was hoping that a 3DS release was mistakenly announced.

 

[MUnited83]

What?! That's news to me! Good job if true, Playstation Plus!


Well then. PS3 or Vita?

PS4, PS3 and Vita.

 

[tyronerodriguez]

PS4, PS3 and Vita.

PS4 and PS Vita

I hope that aswell. Here is what Edmund said in his FAQ however:

Q:Why no Nintendo!!!! I FUCKING HATE YOU!
A: we want to release on 3ds, and will if given the option. isaac currently goes against Nintendos publishing rules due to its religious aspects.. but stuff might change, you never know.

Here is the link to the FAQ, if people are interested. It's pretty interesting.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hope the soundtrack is as good as the first one

 

[marrec]

Glorious gibs, fluid framerate, and updated weapon effects? The wait only gets harder.

 

[Miletius]

Looking great. Issac is one of those games I can't get enough of -- there was a point where I was watching Issac racing on Twitch in addition to playing it. I'd love it if they added official support for that, by the way .

 

[PixyJunket]

I hope so, too. I haven't stopped trying and won't.

Nice. Keep the hope strong.

Have you guys tossed around any ideas for StreetPass if it happens?

Something like the Shadow Link battles would been neat, where you get to battle another player's Isaac build. Or maybe you could meet another player's data in the basement and they can offer an item or something.

Crumps does a plenty fine job on the races, I don't think they need to put any time into official support. Daily Runs are enough for me.

 

[DarkSoul520]

This is easily one of my most anticipated games of this year.
I was initially taken off guard by Issac going the 16-bit route, but seeing gifs like this make it hard to argue.

Can't wait to try co-op!

 

[Skiptastic]

I hope that aswell. Here is what Edmund said in his FAQ however:

Looks like a lot of fun, and all the praise from folks here make me wish I could play it.

Hope they can port it over to the 360 or Xbox One so I can give it a try. I loved Super Meat Boy.

 

[Izcarielo]

I sunk almost 100 hours on the original game on Steam, and im eagerly awaiting for this remake, but afaik this game should have been released last year and its taking an awful long time getting developed by the company they outsourced it to.

 

[demidar]

The music samples up so far sound better than OG BoI.

 

[Miletius]

Crumps does a plenty fine job on the races, I don't think they need to put any time into official support. Daily Runs are enough for me.

I agree, mostly, but I'd love a pick up and race mode where you can challenge another person to a race pick up style or they can do automated matchmaking for you. Of course, that may be too complex for what they are going for here, but a man can dream.

 

[Haunted]

There were so many skills and abilities that overrode each other instead of comboing in the original due to the limitations of Flash. I'm glad they're making sure that more combos work in the new engine.

 

[Novocaine]

These gifs gave me a boner. I need this game.

At first I was a little unhappy that the art style was getting changed but I'm turning around on it now, it's looking really good.

Bring it.

Right with you man, the no damage in the womb was such a bastard to get.

 

[Travado]

My Vita is ready, bring it on.

 

[CassSept]

Right with you man, the no damage in the womb was such a bastard to get.

Really? I thought Depths was much much harder. I got it only after no damage in Womb, many more chances of screwing up than in Womb.

 

[aygomyownroad]

I am looking forward to more Issac, although the last one annoyed me. 500 hours and 1 achievemts on steam to get and knew exactly what I needed to do

Spoiler

Defeat ??? with Samson

, problem was the game would run in to single digit FPS and was unplayable.
The PC was an I5-4430 with 8 gbs of RAM and a good amd graphics card. Don't know what happened. Still bitter to this day as I can find no help regarding what to do to improve the performance.

I had a laptop with far worse specs than that and could run BoI perfectly well, so I don't think it's anything to do with performance. It's Flash not being built for the sort of thing that the game was doing. Too much stuff packed in there and it would just run crappily. I think it's a bit of a crapshoot really. Annoying as the game's great. Still, a remake in the new engine means we won't get these problems again, which is a huge plus.
