so are we exited about this? I never got into transistor enough to finish it, and this looks a little similarat least the music will be good

discuss
I guess I forgot we don't actually discuss video games anymore ~desu
It will probably be similar to Transistor in regards to how Transistor was similar to Bastion
The devs will probably stick to they're strong at: art, music, narration while trying something different with gameplay. And they will probably try their hand at more world building and character development, since they kind of got their feet wet with it in Transitor, but we were stuck reading just about all of it rather than people/things develop in time around your character.

what do you think it was that transistor lacked that bastion had?
I've just kind of thought it was the switch from basic isometric hack&slash to a kind of experimental turn-based but reading your post I wonder if there was more to it

Looks like a fantasy style Transistor.
Fine with me. Hopefully the narrative won't be such a disaster as Transistor's was.
>>334898095
are good art and music enough? supergiant's games have always begged the question to me
naration is good too, but any game could be made better with bastion's narrator

actual /v/irgins are still here bro, but it's hard to wade through garbage like
>e-celebrity threads (Giant Bomb, Best Friends, Phil Fish, Anita Sarkeesian, etc.)
>20 threads on the same FOTM game (currently Dark Souls 3)
>console wars
>Twitter posts
>crossboard posts (/a/, /pol/, /tv/, whatever)
I've applied for janitor twice and didn't get in, probably because I live in USA timezone and they don't need anymore of us. Crying fucking shame m8s.

Enemies and the enviorment.
If I recall in Transistor you were always in the city.
Then there weren't many different types of enemies and towards the late game (and new game +) you're just fighting stronger, recolored versions of those enemies.
Aesthetically, Bastion was more vibrant. The combat, while simpler, felt more organic and in place with the world, if that makes sense. Every time you got into combat in Transistor you were sectioned off from the map and afterwards you'd be healed and ready for the next like it never happened.

looks like pyre will have that same closed combat zone during encounters, but that makes more sense if it's trying harder to be an RPG
I want to add that I think with their decision make what was really happening some big mystery they went too far and so I never really understood what was happening enough to finish the game and reach whatever revelation was the reward for beating the game
it was much more naturally done in bastion

No it's not good enough, but it feels like Supergiant is trying different things in their games while sticking to what their good at it. And that's something I can get behind.
>>334899283
Yeah, the premise feels more convoluted. I can chalk up to the city being full of artists and philosophers and the antagonists are a bunch of pretentious fucks.
>>334898298
character interaction between more than 2 people
Transistor sucked and this dev are one hit wonders just trying to copy the same formula and style over and over. Definition of diminishing returns.
>>334900067
why are you in every thread
>>334900067
I wont say you're wrong, but the sample size of 2 released games is a little small to make that kind of judgement
I'll have to say though, if pyre flops they'll probably never release another good game
