After watching the trailer for Bit.Trip: Core we've embedded after the break, we're panicking well in advance of actually playing the game. Beat only had pixels flying at us from one direction, and we were scared enough when we learned that Core would up that to four. But this trailer shows that dots approach the middle of the screen from eight directions.
The more precise digital control scheme should make the gameplay a bit easier to process, but we still perceive a lot of psychedelic, entranced failure in our future. And we can't wait!
Those creepy stretched-out Commander Video characters didn't help make us feel any more confident about the game, either.
Is it just me or does this look like the toughest game ever? I mean, I got aggravated just watching that trailer. Bit Trip Beat is hard enough. This just looks impossible.
Damn! Can't wait for this one to come out! Beat was incredibly tough [perhaps brutal would describe it better] but in the end you could sort of "cheat" by asking someone to play along. Wonder if that'll be possible in Core... anyway, music sounds awesome, as expected!
well, Gaijin has said that Core is easier than Beat, so it might be more forgiving about missing beats. Also looks like a lot of beats cross multiple lines, so you get more than one shot at them.
