Oh, embedding changed.
I don't know how you get so damn good playthroughts. I can even finish Mom's heart (can't reach it)
Don't sweat it, its made to be difficult. I died 230 times until I beat Mom and Mom's heart. But now I can beat The Chest and ??? with no problem. However a friend of mine says its one of the easiest games he's ever played. I think he has Platinum God now, so it just goes to show that some people are just better than others but its very possible to beat the game.

Disappointing news: It's gonna have generic retro 16bit style.

Wait, so is it going to have a complete different style to the first one, or is it just a complete 16-bit version of the original ?
Earlier I was doing a Cain run with Wrath of the Lamb. I got the Infection, the Stem Cells, the Parasite, and some other shit, and was absolutely wrecking. I found Ultra Pride for the first time, and beat him, then died to a fly.
I love this game.
From the official blog:
[quote]After receiving 80+ questions via formspring and many via email, i have amassed what i believe to be a definitive check list that should clear up most-all confusion on what the binding of isaac remake (Binding of isaac: Rebirth) is/will be.
-Rebirth is a totally remade game based on the flash version of the binding of isaac + wrath of the lamb.
-The game is being produced and developed by Nicalis, the guys who did all the cave story remakes and the VVVVVV port.
-Nicalis is working on the port for Ps3/Vita and PC (steam) and is also currently talking to MS and Nintendo about releasing on their platforms. we are also looking into an iOS version if its not garbage.
-The remake will feature all the content featured in BOI+Wrath but will also feature another Wrath sized expansion over the top that will feature a new final chapter, ending, 2 new playable characters and tons more items, rooms, enemies, bosses and the like. the goal will be to make replaying the whole game not only worth it but also make i so it feels very fresh and new.
[B]-The remake will feature content that was removed from the flash version of the game due to limitations (secret stuff!)[/B]
[B]-The remake will feature LOCAL 2 player co-op[/B]… no online play because that will just extend the release by another forever.
[B]-The game will go into full time development the 1st of the year and is set to be finished by the end of the year[/B] (but we know how this stuff goes)
[B]-The game will feature new music by Danny B as well as some spicy remixes of old tunes.[/B]
-I will be lead designer on the project, making sure things are as perfect as we can make them and as true to the original as possible, i will also be designing all the new content and features.
-The game will be getting a full 16bit make over, im doing this because i think the art is tired and im sick of looking at it. i think a fresh coat of paint is needed and i think its kinda appropriate/funny to do a damake for the remake.
[B]-We will try to do a loyalty pre-order discount to anyone who owns the game on pc.[/B]
tidbits:
-the remake will run perfect/fast finally!
-we went with nicalis because they were the only dev team im close to and that i trust with my IP.
-the remake will be fully retuned, balanced and improved.
the biggest thing to keep in mind here is that development is just starting with the remake, nothing is totally set in stone and a lot will change over time. Im currently in full time development of Mew-Genics with tommy and we have a few other little tricks in store for you next year so my goal with Rebirth is to simply make sure the remake is top quality and then detail out the expansion and updates once development is much farther along… this remake wont slow down any games im currently working (and thats reason why someone else is doing it!).
more updates will be posted as i get them :)
hope that clears things up.

Really?
The art style of BOI is like, a huge part of the appeal for me. It's a big part of things, I really can't see a 16bit version being appealing visually.

I personally wouldn't mind it. I'd actually always wanted it since I saw the little icon on the tab for the game, when you run it.

What's the point of the bloody rooms with a panel of spikes in the middle?

Take 4 hearts of damage or get down to 1 heart remaining and a chest or an item appears.

Yay.
The guys responsible for the ports of cave story which aren't remakes at all.

quoting this for anyone upset over the remake's 16 bit art style

[quote]nothing will be censored [B]im trying to get mockups soon so i can do a little poll on my blog to see for sure if people DONT WANT the 16bit look at all. if its something thats universaly hated then ill cut it to make dev time a bit easier[/B]... but i still think having a new look will make more sense and look cooler...[/quote]
So yeah, be sure and vote when the time comes. I'll wait until I see the mock-ups before I decide but I'm pretty skeptical about 16 bit.
Yeah, the fact that it looked like a cartoon was one o the draws for me.
Well, that, and every time someone tries to do a modern 16 bit, they end up creating something that no retro game ever looked like. (*Cough*FEZ*Cough*) Though it would be cheeky to make the game look even more like the first Zelda game, which makes me happy.

#2 is pretty much exactly like I expected it to look, undersized body aside. Survey link: [url]http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZGXBJZL[/url]

holy dickshit that artstyle
I don't like how the question is a binary "which one do you most like". I can see massive flaws and benefits to each one.
The second and last ones have a very, uh, game boy advanced look to them if that makes any sense
I sorta like that last one, but that's just me. Not isaac though, isaac looks sorta dumb in it
I'd rather it just stay how it is graphically, to be honest. It's not that the others are inherently bad, it's just... that's how it should look.
It'd be like if Borderlands 3 didn't have the cartoony artstyle, or if Battlefield 4 was cel-shaded.

As much as I love the art style, it gets a bit boring. I don't think your comparisons are relatable, because while Borderlands is known primarily for its art style, BoI is not.
I like the Basement 1 graphics best. The Cellar 1 graphics look way too small.
One and two look pretty cool

[QUOTE=Winner;38657145]All of those screenshots look like he's trying to imitate other games, part of what's great about Isaac is its unique style as it is right now[/QUOTE]
Also this
BoI's current artsyle feels organic, disgusting, but still kinda cute and unique.
With retro style, the game is gonna feel...generic.
Why do I have a feeling Edmund knows that, but because of Nicalis(who's a pixel artist), he's changing BoI into 16bit

.... am i the only one who thinks this looks like shit?
Saw the mockups, think 2 is the best of them, but I fucking hate it compared to the original art style.
I would really much rather he continued using the original style but enhanced the animations and effects so they look even more awesome.
