Looks interesting, havent played bastion yet ill give the demo ago.

Dauthi · 24 Mar 2013 at 17:36

Still need to know more but its got my attention.

Just finished the demo in 13 mins. Seems alright, the narrator is quite interesting but i imagine he gets on your nerves if he keeps talking all the way through.

On the contrary, he's one of the best parts.

There's only one attack animation, not liking the weapon AT ALL.

Everything else looks really nice, loving the art style.

I used to moan about things like like of variations in attack animations but honestly after games like dark souls and zombiu its a valid design decision to make the combat less random and more skill.

There are other weapons to use as the game progresses thou.

Same footage as before, but without talking, so you can hear the soundtrack and narrator. Cannot wait.

Pre-orders up now from their website or on Steam for release on the 20th of May.

Pre-ordered. Releases Tuesday!

Launch trailer here:

Out today and no hype? Disappointed.

Bit shocked at the lack of interest in the game tbh... Bastion was one of my fav games in a long time!

At the very least I'm looking forward to my play through!

Philistine's everywhere!

If it's half the game Bastion is, Transistor will be well worth the money.

I was hoping to write a review for my site but I'm not going to get chance to play it until next weekend :eek:

I think it's probably being overshadowed by Wolfenstein's release. A little depressing but it shall not sully my hype! Plus, you just know Darren Korb is going to come through with another incredible soundtrack.
Really can't wait.

Yeah, a shame really, but can't be helped!

Would be interested to see the reviews, still surprised they're not up yet, obviously a review embargo, but I would have thought it would be over by now.

I heard that the embargo was the release date due to the devs not wanting the story to be leaked.

Take my money!
