But the second link explains just how Pre-Alpha-y the footage is and elaborates a bit more on it. I thought this information was valuable, so there.

Looks great, the change in style didn't bother me as much as I though it would. Hope this comes out for Wii U!

Looking better already:

Level design looks quite neat. Graphics continue not to impress, not that that'll stop me from enjoying the heck out of it.

This thread is due for a...REVIVAL!!

PAX build with Unkle Dill (that is the official spelling): http://vimeo.com/39742946

Tons of PAX coverage:

Trust me when I say I could find more if you wanted me to, but I think that's enough for now. Oh, and Gaijin Games/the people they talk to seem to be fond of gratuitous language, so there's a warning about that.

Anyway, UNKLE DILLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!

Classy handlebar, Mr. Neuse.

Yeah he's not bald anymore. Weird.

So much hyper for this. I'm sure Irs going to be shown at nintendos e3 presser as a launch title. But I have to admit I want to see what their next non bit trip game is.

Same here. At one point they said they were going to make this, but I'm not sure what's happening with it currently. Also, Runner2 technically isn't a BIT.TRIP game, because of the art style and non-BIT.TRIP unlockable characters. Their next game may involve Whetfart Cheeseburger, for example.

I sure hope not. The new characters don't appeal to me, but that could just be because my sense of humor has evolved a little bit since I was in kindegarten.

now the game doesnt look Retro awesome; looks cheap

Can't say I disagree, but I'm waiting for more of them to be revealed before I make final judgments. I don't see anything juvenile about Unkle Dill though, and actually find him quite entertaining.

I like the idea of a character who follows along side you if you jump a checkpoint, but I find some big anthropomorphized, monocled pickle to be too random silly, which while maybe not juvenile like the cheeseburger guy, is not exactly mature either. I know they are saying it's not a Bit Trip game, but it has Bit Trip in the title and is a sequel to a Bit Trip game, so it is a Bit Trip game, and it seems like this stuff is very out of place for Bit Trip.

Anyway, not really a big deal, I can just as well ignore these guys. Nothing will come between me and a new Runner.

Fair enough. Which platform(s) do you known that will have Runner2 on them?

Wii U.

...I also buy games on my brother's PS360 and play over there when something new comes out that I can't ignore (as I did for Skull Girls recently).

OK, that's kind of scary.

EPIC ALMOST TWO MONTHS LATER DOUBLE POST!

Incredible, absolutely incredible.
