    This is honestly my favorite game of GDC so far. Really psyched to get to share some footage with you guys!

    This is honestly one of the most visually pleasing games I've seen this year. I also love the intense gameplay style and the very hard-sounding noises that you get by completing different maneouvers.

    Thumper while using VR would kill.

      Hahah, that was my first question for them! The devs said it's theoretically possible, since all the assets in Thumper are three-dimensional - no 2D fakery going on whatsoever. -Nick

  • @squarefan1
    @squarefan1 Před 9 lety +1

    Literally looks amazing. Very unique art style. I love how metal it looks. Literal metal. it also looks like it has a weighty kind of feel to it. Most rhythm games always seem to be more loose and about moving fast. Its a rhythm game, so I want to play it. They say anything about possibly having a mode that might go with your own music?

  • @j5r5myk

  • @sonofbigboss
    @sonofbigboss Před 8 lety

    visuals obviously fantastic, but listening now with a subpac I must say the audio is some surprisingly proper electronica: aggressive & well produced with good power in the low end. no trancey/edm cheesyness here

  • @FerreTrip
    @FerreTrip Před 9 lety

    This looks a bit different from the build I played today at BFIG (Boston Festival of Indie Games). Which was _five minutes of sheer unadulterated awesome,_ by the way. In case this guy didn't get to it in the video (paused it to comment), it's made by a guy who used to work in the building next to the Walgreens I worked at last winter, which so happened to be Harmonix. He was tired of rock/pop stuff in rhythm games and wanted something more physical. And dear GOD does he nail it.

  • @TheDvtch
    @TheDvtch Před 7 lety

    "Makes you feel sweaty and weird". I just bought a PSVR and I can say that both of those descriptions are apt. What a fucking cool game. I like it the same way I like Every Extend Extra Extreme, but this is far more intense. It feels ominous. like the bosses are what are generating the music.

    I've never wanted a high end PC. My low end PC does fine for the games I play, but when i saw this game and the minimum specs you best believe i"m building a bomb ass PC just for this.

  • @92SammyL
    @92SammyL Před 9 lety

    I've played a lot of rhythm games about hitting notes to play a song such as DJMax Series, Patapon, and such. But this game looks more intense and requires certain level of rhythm catching ability. Kinda reminds me of another rhythm game "140". BTW, CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THEM WHEN THEY'RE OUT!!!!

  • @solarneddy

  • @inceptional
    @inceptional Před 9 lety

    This looks very cool and reminds me of a concept I came up with about ten years ago, more than ten years ago even, that was actually very similar to this in my original idea, although sadly I never quite realised my idea as I originally envisioned it...but I did make this as my very first game which was about a 20th of the way towards realising my actual vision: itunes.apple.com/gb/app/izone/id434844051?mt=12
    It's very rough around the edges and the sound is hard on the old ears lol
    STILL haven't made the actual game I saw in my head all those years ago :-o
