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

I hope it is and is kept in Rebirth. It's a small mechanic that makes spikes a worthy risk. There is always a chance you will fuck it up.

[QUOTE=reevezy67;46220662]I hope it is and is kept in Rebirth. It's a small mechanic that makes spikes a worthy risk. There is always a chance you will fuck it up.[/QUOTE] If i recall correctly Edmund said he wanted to fix that.

Damn

[QUOTE=Xubs;46221208]I imagine there'll be more flight items in Rebirth, and I also imagine he wants to give more use to items which bypass obstacles so I have no opposition to the change. I can see an item similar to The Ladder being present but for spikes, maybe platform shoes or something.[/QUOTE] Even then, it cuts out that risk-reward feeling you get for spikes, which perfectly fits a roguelike. Shame Edmund wants to fix it.

What if Mom's Heels let you walk over spikes?

Aawwww, Cain (lucky foot) won't have the good pills effect in Rebirth. I played the shit out of Cain just because of that. Fucking health down pills can go rot in sheol

[QUOTE=Nameisthis;46223067]Maybe now there's another item that does something and give only good pills? maybe a trinket?[/QUOTE] Yyeahh.. but I kinda liked having it from the start

[QUOTE=Xubs;46224401]does anyone happen to know if Rebirth still has the between-level Agony cutscenes? I have not watched a stream of the game or anything to know. I've tried to keep myself from being too spoiled on that stuff and have kept to images and all that.[/QUOTE] It does.

I really damn hate how late he posts the updates, I've gotta be up by 8, but I wanna see what he's gonna post tonight :suicide:

[QUOTE=SeymourGuado;46228164]He'll end up posting it at 11:59pm just to screw with ya.[/QUOTE] This or something will happen and the tf2 promos won't get released we learn about one tiny thing we already knew about then he adds a secret link that is more 3ds or wii-u info.

Fuck it, I need sleep. If it's posted in the next ~10 minutes I'll eat my socks [editline].[/editline] Sock status: not eaten. Later, I guess I'll see it tomorrow. Hope its a good one

Dang it, I didn't know it'd be such a late message.

update is LIVE The item you get: [img]http://media.tumblr.com/f1019aeae5a1d50c4ff336f2ded0cba7/tumblr_inline_ndf2vm1U9D1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] And the other stuff. Valve refused the poo hat and I guess Edmund could only add one hat so he went with brimstone.

I wouldn't mind the skatole hat, most scout players are shitheads anyway.

Time to pick apart some screenshots. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/fc89f6a62f1f56cda853a7003a8c112a/tumblr_inline_ndf404pJ9O1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] First thing that stands out is that "Brimstone" has limited range, Isaac's body is spidery, and his health is entirely black hearts. Now, we've known that Edmund wanted a dedicated melee class in Samson but ultimately canned that due to it being incapable of clearing all rooms. That range seems melee-ish enough to pass as a melee-dedicated character. We also know that one of the new characters is supposed to rely entirely on black hearts. And we also know that Ed wanted to tease the remainder of the unlockable characters: of whom we only had Azazel left. Also that's not actually Brimstone, the effect just looks like it. I can only speculate that Azazel is appearing in this particular screengrab. He seems to start with no consumables. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/1d03b31e43be9dc823e459ec0fccc746/tumblr_inline_ndf40fzg1w1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] The secrets menu with the stats menu in the background. Secrets appear to be in a fixed order, so people could easily cross reference which ones they're missing with a completed list that the wiki will inevitably have. New entries to the stats menu appears to be "Best stats." It's too difficult to make out what the words on the right could be. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/b69ae4dff84f51a18eeb7b5c00facd2a/tumblr_inline_ndf40mHpnf1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] New variant of a new-ish enemy is seen here. No clue what is new about its pattern other than what appears to be attacking in 4 directions like a gish or clotty. The card in his hand is The World. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/33d674b6861ebd531ab7994c0ba1bedc/tumblr_inline_ndf40wHl4K1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] That's not an enemy, it appears to be a familiar as all of the doors are unlocked in this room except for one. This one door can be broken down with bombs much like a secret room, but presumably it'd hold some sort of challenge for the player to overcome. It'd be too easy if it had similar loot to a secret room but was so painfully obvious to find. Also, the timer that appears is a further iteration on what we've seen before. However, given how late in the game it is, I have other suspicions. I believe that the timer is actually a countdown. Completing some challenge before the countdown ends should yield some grand reward. Perhaps it has something to do with the barricaded room, we'll find out for sure when the game is released. His item haul consists of Bob's Curse and Guppy's Collar; to anyone wondering what's with the weird red ball or the x1? near his health. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/9e58a1767cffbefb2fa1b84a026b2fb1/tumblr_inline_ndf45ymvZe1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] A tall room with some gapers and a spider sitting on an egg sac. Nothing really special here. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/eb97ff6bc059b617988dcac41afdfe57/tumblr_inline_ndf416hxBI1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] Secret rooms can hold TNT barrels. Chests appear as a potential spawn, similar to how you may find a single recharge replenisher, or some pills, or an assortment of coins, or a trinket. The secret room seems to be more geared towards being a group of room drops all at once when you find them instead of what we're used to with it being a big money grab. [img]http://media.tumblr.com/1eb4f36a2289ff07df46fc599f58154c/tumblr_inline_ndf46rRPui1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] [img]http://media.tumblr.com/a8c0bc5b5126fc9b6641e5f747c3d6fc/tumblr_inline_ndf471sInF1rq0wgw.jpg[/img] Haunt is a ghost, but we have no indication of what his attack pattern could be. One of the mini-haunts appears to be semi-transparent, implying that they can become invincible to damage either deliberately or after taking damage. A small detail, but it appears that having the burning powerup seen here makes Isaac ignite small floor details, you can see some small flames just above Haunt's body. No secret link this week.

~3 more weeks~

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;46228753][...] to anyone wondering what's with the weird red ball or the x1? near his health. [/QUOTE] It's another life. Like the 1UP mushroom you find in secret rooms.

I kinda wish I didn't look into the game a couple months back because this wait is killing me

Only 21 more days.

[IMG]http://media.tumblr.com/1d03b31e43be9dc823e459ec0fccc746/tumblr_inline_ndf40fzg1w1rq0wgw.jpg[/IMG] I think it says "Best streak", meaning your highest mom kill streak without dying

[QUOTE=lapsus_;46230610]It's another life. Like the 1UP mushroom you find in secret rooms.[/QUOTE] When you have an extra life you're told that you have 2 lives. The only item thus far that we've seen granting the x1 indicator is Guppy's Collar, and it shouldn't be difficult to imagine that it's plaintext, the ? [i]could[/i] have been removed for stylistic reasons. It's clear that he doesn't have the 1-up or Dead Cat following him around, and he lacks the visuals granted by the Ankh. In that same vain, he also lacks the visuals associated with Guppy's Collar. However, something is still amiss if his life indicator is reading as x1 when in reality it shouldn't be showing up at all unless something special is present. I falsely labeled it as Guppy's Collar because it's the closest analog to juxtapose with it, similar to how Azazel appears to have his own Brimstone but not really.

[QUOTE=Nameisthis;46234642]could always be some new item that gives an extra life without any visual, or was an early image and the visuals aren't there yet.[/QUOTE] x1 means that there is no extra life, the 1 is the current life. That's why it's so out of place, the only analogy we've seen with the life counter reading "1" is with Guppy's Collar because the respawn rate is entirely luck-based for that particular item. And "early image"? The build date is October 12th. Item visuals should be long done at this point in development. We're in the final 3 weeks before release, the only thing that should be focused on is polishing and bugfixes to make sure it's ready for a public debut.

Uh. I was just in a Utero 2 room with two Larry Jr.'s and a Chub. I think one of the Larrys ate Chub's tail, because it was missing when I got a good look at him. He also tried to spawn babies, but nothing popped out when he did the animation. Freaky.
