Corbie said there were surprises... so far I just see backwards BEAT (which, mind you, might be my favorite in the series, so I'm not complaining) with a few really impressive beat patterns.

Some things I saw in the trailer:
-The word "Frustration" at 0:23
-I saw the letters LIFE at 0:30 (they're very large).
-Special grey bonus beat at 0:27 at the bottom.
-(at 0:33) every beat is worth 100 000 in challenges.
-Not entirely sure: 3 mistakes in Meta ==> Giga
-The part at 1:05 is probably nether mode gameplay
-If we ever want to get into Meta, we have to collect A LOT of beats.
-Multiplier:
Nether/hyper:1
Mega:10
Super:20
Ultra:50
Extra:100
Giga:200
Meta:500 (+ 1 for every multi +)

I'm still not entirely sure how the "series" will work... Anyway, I guess that's the new information I got now.

Anyone noticed the Flux Soundtrack image at the bottom of this page: http://www.bittripgame.com/ ? It is currently a dead link (refreshes the page), but it may hint at the fact that the Flux soundtrack release is very soon.

As I sit and consider the release of BIT.TRIP FLUX on February 25th in Europe and on February 28th in the US, I reflect back on CommanderVideo's journey.

So, I offer you this unsolicited contemplation on FLUX, which you are free to post in its entirety, in bits and pieces, or not at all. I offer it because I want you all to know that even though this is the end of a series that we've all grown to love, this is a joyous time.

BIT.TRIP FLUX represents CommanderVideo's homecoming. It is a sublime trip through his subconscious and a deep exploration of what makes him who he is. It is an investigation of his rhythm, his flow, his vibe.

As we started working on the concept for FLUX, we realized that we wanted to return to the gameplay of BIT.TRIP BEAT because at CommanderVideo's core, he is returning to his simplest energetic state.

Also, to help tell the story of CommanderVideo's transition back to The Source, we wanted to convey the point that it is an unstoppable pull which draws him home. For this reason, there is no Game Over. BIT.TRIP FLUX is meant to be played and completed in one sitting. It has also been designed such that most players will be able to fulfill that goal. BIT.TRIP FLUX, while difficult, is not as punishing in its difficulty as the previous games in the series; yet reaching the new Meta Mode and staying there is quite a feat, so the challenge is there for experts.

But the primary goal of FLUX is to be an exploration of visual beauty, aural splendor, graceful gameplay, and how it feels to be lost in the beauty of life while reminiscing about all the events that led CommanderVideo to this, his purest form. You'll see him in this form during the cutscenes as well as in-game, and you'll relive his experiences through the music and visuals.

As you complete the game, I hope that you have as cathartic an experience as we did in giving this series to you.

OH MY GOODNESS THAT SOUNDS AMAZING!

So it's not coming next week..... I was hoping it would since it's school vacation week and I would have plenty of time to play it (plus the sooner the better...), but I guess I'll settle for the following Monday, I hope the teachers ease us back into school and I don't have too much homework.... but I know that won't happen.

I've heard people say they've downloaded this. Let's hear some thoughts!

I am still at school and having some stupid study-hour in a classroom with computers. I am completely bored. Still 40 minutes left before I can leave, I need an hour to get home. Then, I can finally play it. Will post my thoughts once I complete first stage.

Sorry SMF96, I couldn't stop playing.
I managed to stay in Meta for 1 second yahoooo!
First time I played Epiphany, I felt ashamed! I have been training the last month to get ready for FLUX, and only could get to super first time I played Epiphany. I also died at the boss the first time.
It takes 80 beats to get from hyper to mega. Epiphany was comfortable easy after 1st time. Perception's boss is not normal anymore! The boss is getting through waves of round beats, there isn't any normal beat, so no possibility to get a mode up.

Thanks for the impressions invmat, I won't really have the option to "not stop playing" since NOA releases WiiWare games on MONDAYS!!!!! So of course, I'll have hours and hours of homework to do. Maybe I'll download and play a little right when I get home....

I have beaten the third level. The boss was hard, but....

SPOILERS

Game over? After all that work? I knew that last part after the score display would be important in some way, so I returned all the beats, however... I simply could not see those final beats because the screen was totally white. I tried to hold the paddle in the middle, just to be sure. I could hear a few beats touching the paddle...

I think there must be the twist here. We need to find out what the trigger is.

Also, I managed to get to META! managed to stay there for about 3 seconds. xD

I also keep noticing previous level names. I've already seen TENACITY and SUPER EGO

I like that there's so much difference between the modes. In FATE it almost didn't matter, but in FLUX...

From Alex:

You have to let go, Rick. And then the game will be over. Try putting your Wii Remote down. And if you got the Game Over already, you've seen the end. That is it. The BIT.TRIP is over.

I noticed the level names too! I've seen a lot of them, including FLUX own level names in a different level!
Did you also notice the name " _ I _ " on the Catharsis High Scores? Maybe we have to do something with that.

I have indeed seen that Game Over image. There's something I find deeply compelling and unusual about FLUX. When I'm playing any other BIT.TRIP game, I get into a "zone" so to speak, yet I feel like I would playing any other game. But playing FLUX, I feel... different, almost as if I am totally zoned out... Incredible.

Also, with regards to that I thing, if on that final final epilogue level, you read the first eight digits that appear, they read 01001001, which is binary for "I"

Only got to play Epiphany and have to do homework after this, but man that was awesome! Also, the cutscenes deeply confused me, which I will discuss in the spoiler thread after I beat the game.
