21 hours or something! Hype Hype Hype!

Salsa · Sep 27, 2011

Just in case you guys forgot: this comes out tomorrow!

Also, the soundtrack will be available to buy today at midnight. 2 pre-release tracks will be pay-what-you-want with no minimal cost. Im in!

perfect free · Sep 28, 2011

Definitely impulse buying this tomorrow. I expect to suck, but it's all good.

Reluctant-Hero · Sep 28, 2011

Awesome, I'll buy this. Salsa, do you know if the game'll support the wired 360 pad?

Pretty shocking stuff but apparently its hard mapped to keyboard (doesnt require a mouse). Edmund said its easily customizable with something like Xpadder or JoytoKey.

It still sounds weird to me but we'll see.

I... what? Hard mapped to keyboard? I almost need to quote my own avatar.

I hope he patches. I'll buy the game because I loved his work on Super Meat Boy, but I doubt i'll play it much until 360 pad is officially supported

I have an Alienware m11x, keyboard only gaming is uncomfortable for me. KB&M, I can deal.

VGChampion · Sep 28, 2011

I'm.... looking forward to it. I haven't followed much on the game but the initial stuff I saw just wasn't really my thing. Was tired of this art style and randomated dungeon games aren't usually my thing but just the fact that a new, cheap game from a genre I never really play from a guy who I know can make a content rich game, well, I'm in.

JoytoKey and Xpadder are your friends. They are programs wich let you map buttons from the 360 pad to keyboard keys really easily, and i doubt this game will have much buttons to speak of.

I can make a .cfg file for everyone and post a guide here once the game comes out.

For that authentic Super Smash TV feeling.

PixyJunket · Sep 28, 2011

No gamepad support? I can't even process that information for this game.

Oh well, this went from instant buy to maybe buy. I imagine it'll be patched eventually, so I guess I'm still leaning closer to buy.

Salsa · Sep 28, 2011

You guys would be seriously surprised at how damn easy it is to set up JoytoKey to work with anything. Its downloading a program and.. that's it. Making the game a "might buy" because of this (specially when Edmund himself said the software works great) is pretty silly. Im sure there's a reason why its mapped to keyboard as well. Its not a dual-stick shooter, you cant shoot in diagonal directions afaik.

PixyJunket · Sep 28, 2011

I'm sure it is easy, but I shouldn't have to go to outside software to get basic functionality support for a game that really SHOULD already include it.

kyubajin · Sep 28, 2011

Salsa by any chance would you know how to get a USB Saturn pad to work with it... on Mac OS X?

Live stream and chat with DannyBStyle (composer of Isaac and super meat boy soundtracks)

Salsa · Sep 28, 2011

digital soundtrack is also out: http://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/album/the-binding-of-isaac-2

$1 or more

and its fantastic as usual

Salsa · Sep 28, 2011

I still have a soft spot for Repentant since the trailer came out. I mean man, one of the best tracks DannyB ever did for sure. Amazing stuff. If you guys dont buy this album i might have to do a separate thread about it, its that good.

edit: oops dp

-Mikey- · Sep 28, 2011

Watching the stream and I'm already digging the soundtrack.

Salsa · Sep 28, 2011

10 hours!!

Launch gameplay Trailer

I love mom's voice. Creepy "Isaaaac" at the end is great.

Salsa · Sep 28, 2011

First review up, but its a no-score one:

http://www.shh-mom.com/the-binding-of-isaac-a-review/

These lil buggers are combined with enough atmosphere and creepy soundtrack bits to make Isaac one of the best indie games to come out this year.

All in all, Edmund has developed another wonderful game. Its in no way Super Meat Boy, but its a beautiful game thats well worth the five dollars. My only recommendation is that one doesnt play the game too seriously, as it is rather difficult. In fact, it has a difficulty setting right up there with Demons Souls and Super Meat Boy. Put that on the back of the virtual box.

QuantumBro · Sep 28, 2011

Only 10 hours left, I can't wait to play it.

RoaringHawk · Sep 28, 2011

3 hours!

Anyone bought the soundtrack?

Therion · Sep 28, 2011

Just a heads-up: The soundtrack includes the narration from the game, so you could consider it a spoiler. I had no problem with it, but others might.

Just did, downloading it now. If it's anything like his SMB work, should be great.

Dead Prince · Sep 28, 2011

gameplay looks kinda boring but i might just get since it's $5.

Toma · Sep 28, 2011

Should be out now , right? Guess the store is a bit slow updating.

RoaringHawk · Sep 28, 2011

So the countdown is gone, but still can't buy it...

Please don't be another Renegade Ops.

Kinky John · Sep 28, 2011

Where are you, you naughty little boy?

hiryu · Sep 28, 2011

I want to buy. Steam why are you failing me?

Stop mentioning Renegade Ops! You're going to jinx it all! Lol.

Dead Prince · Sep 28, 2011

poor duckroll must have an alert for "Renegade Ops" set lol.

I have a feeling this game (RO and probably TBoI) is going to be pushed back some more. not for technical reason. it's just going to be released during the wrong week lol

Emitan · Sep 28, 2011

Dammit, Steam! You've never failed in sucking money out of my pocket before! Why start now?

Maybe they are trying the Eric Cartman Market Strategy....

Nobody will be able to buy it this week...

Next week only 10 persons will be able to buy it...

Week after that only 20 people... and so and so until demand is so high that they will be selling millions of copies!!
