Not me, I was looking forward to this one. But if I can still get it for $5 on Steam, I'm sold.

$4.99 on Steam when on sale. I would like it for the console to play coop.

Gotta go PC for this one, the mouse is far and away the best control option for this game.

I played on my friends' PC, we went Wizard-mouse, thief/fighter-xbox controllers. Works really well, actually!

Agreed. I was disappointed at first that I wouldn't be able to use a gamepad, but grappling hooks and wizard boxes are much easier to aim/use with a mouse.

And with it being $5 on Steam, why not get the PC version anyway?

I found it easy and fluid to control with the PS3 pad

Had no problems here on the PS3. Even snagged the "Better than the developers" trophy fairly easily. Drawing boxes with the Wizard is obviously slower, but the Thief and Knight work great with controllers and they're what you'll be using during most of the frantic action.

Churchbus, you can use a controller with the PC.

Yeah, with a PC you get the option of using a controller or mouse. I generally preferred the mouse for the Wizard but for the others either is OK really.

I really hope it's not for budgetary reasons, or because of poor performance.

Joystiq didn't mention it, but it's on sale for 9.99 on the PS3.

I know they should at least mention it's on sale before the sale is over.

They also forgot the WaW Map Pack Bundle is 19.99 instead of 24.99 too.

I'm considering this, because my PC isn't much of a gaming machine. Initial reviews, though, said the PSN version was pretty messed up. Have they patched this up yet?

copa,

I don't know what to say. I bought it, beat it, and loved it on the PSN. What exactly were the issues?

I can't remember, but it wasn't a subtle issue. Vinny on the Giant Bombcast was complaining that the initial release was nearly unplayable. If both of you guys made it through the game without any issues, then it sounds like they fixed it!

The frame rate can drop a bit on the last level or two, but nothing unplayable. The game plays great. Get the game, you won't regret it. And make sure you try out some co-op. It's local only, but worth the time. It's actually more challenging than playing by yourself since you have to get multiple people past obstacles.

It's a shame because the game is really awesome. People should ge to play it regardless of platform. Go get it on Steam 360 only owners! I hear its on sale there now.

It went back to $20 this morning.

Don't worry though- it's not the first time Trine dropped to $5, and won't be the last.

Great, we're told about this AFTER the $5 sale on Steam for Trine ends?

I'm angry with you, Microsoft.

You wouldn't rather be angry with Steam for ending a sale?
Or angry with Sony for not enticing you to buy a PS3?
Or angry with Atlus for a premature press release?
Or angry with Frozenbyte for making the game multiplatform at all?
Or angry with Yourself for waiting so long to buy a great game?
Or angry with Your Employer that you thought twice about spending $5?

I guess Microsoft is just the easy way out for some people. C'est la vie.

I sent this in as soon as I came across it a few days ago. Granted that it's good pool to have some details behind the situation, but I was hoping that anyone who was holding out for the 360 version would be able to see it in time to take advantage of the Steam sale.

So, Trine currently costs 5 euros on Steam. Is that a good deal?

I was originally waiting for the 360 version of this, but picked up the PC version during the steam sale over Christmas for $5. Great game. Sad it's not coming to live. I could have seen myself buying it again for co-op play on the 360 if it was priced reasonably.

"The important thing to note here is that if you want to play Trine, it's almost certainly going to require a PC or PS3."

lol but at the mention of mass effect 2 no matter how irrelevant, joystiq rings/jumps on the "coming to ps3" bell .

Since when? Just yesterday in the NPD article they said this when talking about ME2's sales: "the not-available-on-PS3 Mass Effect 2"

I'm glad I didn't wait for it then... I was almost going to. That game is so great. If you haven't played it, play it this weekend. You won't be sorry!

Only MS, PC doesn't get Alan Wake, your 360 doesn't get Trine. Maybe not the best trade but take that! : )

Then my money will never find its way into Atlus' hands. In the meantime, I'll be dropping my points on other downloadable XBL titles.
