Thus is a super cool project, but just a warning: most burned discs have a lifespan and begin to deteriorate over time as a result of having the ability to be chemically modified by light. If you’re looking to make long-term backups, you need to get special, more expensive, blanks intended for archival that last longer.
You control a character with the keyboard and a tiny moon with your mouse (it will also be playable with a controller). Explore a small open world and uncover secrets and mechanics hiding right under your nose. Use the moon to manipulate creatures and the environment and explore a tiny open world. Curiosity, knowledge, and discovery of game mechanics are the primary ways to progress.
Why? How many people even still have DVD drives, let alone blu-ray? Especially when USB sticks are dirt cheap if you really want portable media to give to someone else.
because lets face it, a project like this is more to be cool than to be useful, so why not use discs? of course flash storage is more practical, but it’s way less durable and it doesn’t have the same vibe as a disc (so to say). like if you wanted the optimal practical strategy, you’d just get an external drive and put all the installers on there. there’s a reason most people who make “physical collections for their PC libraries” don’t even bother with discs, they just make the cases
Uhhhh what are we supposed to feel about a studio launch trailer? I kinda hate them acting like they were responsible for Guitar Hero and now it will magically come back because they are coming back. Music Rhythm games didn’t go away just because Red Octane went away. Red Octane died in 2010, and we still had many years of Rock Band and other games after that. Furthermore, Red Octane was never the studio that made the games. That was Harmonix, and Harmonix never stopped trying to keep the genre alive. They most recently released Fuser, which was wildly creative and cool but audiences didn’t really care. Then they got eaten up by Epic, and now they’re trying to keep the spirit alive by integrating it into Fortnite (see Fortnite Festival).
Seems kinda shitty and disingenuous for someone to come back with the Red Octane name and pretend like Harmonix hasn’t been out here doing the work for literal decades on end.
This game looks so cool. I loved how you shoot things into the wall and then jump on them, and also the clip where he throws a bottle up in the air, jumped up and hit it at the enemy. I have eyed Islets by the same developed earlier, which is also a metroidvania, but haven’t quite been convinced to buy it. Will be interesting to see how it ends up when it releases!
I just hope they figured out whatever was going on that made it nigh unplayable on desktops/TVs. Something about the way the graphics were upscaled just gave me (and apparently a lot of others) HORRIBLE motion sickness and headaches. Otherwise… it is gonna be a Steam Deck exclusive.
