The Binding of Isaac series. GOT A QUESTION? USE THE WIKI: http://bindingofisaacrebirth.gamepedia.co - Games

[QUOTE=Kyle902;46019274]That pose is kinda awkward considering the nudity of the characters lol[/QUOTE] They're both just Isaac, don't judge him indulging in weird fantasies.

[QUOTE=postal;46006616]I'm not sure if this was intentional or not since it was censored on the bandcamp page, but the track list on the steam OST store page has a name for the new level: [img]http://i.imgur.com/viPyinG.png?1[/img] Could be a ruse, though it does tie to the track name pretty well, as the level is probably "devoid" of light. I wonder if it's a new level after Sheol. Would be a good place to put it, plus I ~think~ i remember Ed hinting at giving players a reason to go the Sheol route again.[/QUOTE] Guess it was to be expected but the title "Dark room" is just a ruse after all. [url]http://edmundm.com/post/97841665265/in-soundtracks-description-on-steam-i-saw-something[/url] still probably something after sheol.

Yep, that's certainly something. Also I thought "Dark Room" was referring to the Secret Rooms, those dark spaces where you sometimes found loot.

Ed said that the ones on bandcamp aren't ALL the tracks, there are more that somebody forgot to upload

Not exactly rebirth news as much as it is Team Meat news: [img]http://i.imgur.com/tphOpKs.png?1[/img] I had a feeling this was coming after the revelation that Danny B was replaced for both rebirth and the new meatboy game, but that sucks. Matthias is good and all but I way more preferred Danny B's soundtracks. Oh well.

Wonder why the discontinuation of the Team Meat + DannyB team occurred. Man, I'm going to be really rusty when rebirth comes out. I wonder if I should derust or just go into it like this.

Personally it's going to be a mixed bag for me. I prefer Rebirth's Cave theme to the original's, but I prefer the original's Sheol theme to Rebirth's.

I like both the original's and rebirth's soundtracks :v:

Some important things from Edmund's blog (these are recent) [img]http://i.imgur.com/iI8FhgI.png[/img] We probably knew this, but it's nice to have reassurance. [img]http://i.imgur.com/32R7Mqq.png[/img] This is a pretty game-changing, actually, at least in regards to the meta. And that's not even counting possible new secret room additions...

I don't know what to think about TBoI Rebirth. I loved the fuck out of the original TBoI. One of those reasons is that it wasn't "pixelated". I HATE how people beat the dead horse of "hur dur pixel ghafics!11 xdd". I absolutely love consoles like NES, SNES, GB, GBA, etc. But this 8-16 bit style is WAY too overdone. It looks like a generic pixel game, tbh. I feel that it isn't a TBoI game. Should I get Rebirth? It's pretty expensive compared to the original.

I hate the pixel art style and I'm not really a fan of the music, but I'm still getting Rebirth because it's adding more to the game that I love so much. Y'know, it's funny, I never even liked Isaac when it was released. I thought it looked very stupid with it's art style and thought it was just some dumb religion bashing game. I picked it up one day during a steam summer sale and the game hit me so hard it made my head spin. Instantly fell in love with it and that was when I truly learned to never judge a book by its cover. So no matter how bad I THINK rebirth looks, I'm going to get it and play it anyways because I know I'm wrong.

The new visuals are arguably objectively superior to the old ones as well. The flash style was just too limiting, while pixel art has always been very versatile and stylish. It isn't popular or "overdone" for no reason. -What's your definition of a generic pixel game? Most of what you're trying to pin have their own subtleties and variations that make them drastically different. Furthermore, a game cannot and should not ever be categorized by its graphical style, that's stupid and pointless. -What does "I feel that it isn't a TBoI game" mean? It has literally the same base gameplay and characters and everything, I literally have no fucking clue what you could possibly be asserting here. -Yes, get rebirth if you enjoyed TBoI and it's expansion. It's going to have a lot of Quality of Life improvements, engine improvements (no more chugging because of how shitty flash is), a TON of more content, etc. The original+WotL was literally $2.50 cheaper than rebirth once the discount for owning the original is factored in so your comments about how "expensive" it is seem baseless.

boi looked nice but that was less 'innovative artstyle' and more 'this is what it looks like when you draw things with the brush in flash'

Something that cracks me up- Super Meat Boy pixelated 'the graphics are perfect for the gameplay' Super Meat Boy Forever drawn mock-up 'wow what lazy piece of shit I'm not buying it' The Binding of Isaac drawn rushed 'the graphics are perfect for the gameplay' The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth pixelated 'wow what an uninspired piece of shit I'm not buying it'

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;46037043]boi looked nice but that was less 'innovative artstyle' and more 'this is what it looks like when you draw things with the brush in flash'[/QUOTE] Also Ed said he don't want to use the pressure sensitive

[QUOTE=lapsus_;46038010]Super Meat Boy pixelated [/QUOTE] Uh no, SMB doesn't have pixel artstyle outside the secret warp levels.

[QUOTE=lapsus_;46038010]Something that cracks me up- Super Meat Boy pixelated 'the graphics are perfect for the gameplay' [/QUOTE] it wasn't pixelated the hell are you on [img]http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2010/12/SuperMeatBoy-boss.jpg[/img] [editline]21st September 2014[/editline] Also, I partly liked both (SMB and TBoI) games because of their soundtrack. I'm very sad that they replaced the compositor (though it could be repetitive, I guess)

[img]http://puu.sh/bHNGY/34e4b4ce72.png[/img] So we're not getting a bestiary until a DLC expansion at the soonest. Pity that things aren't making it for the deadline that Sony set for them.

lol go fetch the news node article about super meat boy forever and look at the general consensus there, everyone was going bonkers just like they did for BoI rebirth and that's absurd

[video]http://soundcloud.com/daatomicwaffle/enmity-of-the-dong-lord[/video] Why does this work so well?

It's got more effort put into it than most pixel art styles. With that in mind I don't know why people are bashing it as much as they are. Just get over it and enjoy the game. You're getting shit tons of content, better rooms and no performance issues.

With the addition of the filters, the pixelated art is a non-issue now I think. Rebirth has so much more now, it's a no-brainer to get it. I mean, I'd still have gotten it without the filter but now there's no reason to complain. It might not be the exact same, but we can't have our cake and eat it too.

[quote]I found it really cool how you could affect bombs with status effects in Isaac, but I was really disappointed when it didn't affect the enemies... Will bombs in rebirth be able to carry on statuses?[/quote] [quote="edmundmcmillen"]yes[/quote]neat

People aren't spending their hard-earned money on a game because it has cool bosses, awesome items, or entertaining dark humor, you silly billy. :downs: This reminds me of some dude on another message board who tried to get everyone into some shitty MMO he found, and people casually commented that the graphics looked like they were from 1997 and he was all "GRAPHICS DON'T MATTER!" Then TF2 came out and he was all "I hate the art-style, won't play it".
