The concept actually seems very familiar, like a shooter where the protagonist's ship does the EXACT SAME THING...switching colors to absorb like elements. Looks fun though.
They just used inspiration from a few games, not just Ikaruga, to cook up something decent that hopefully is fun to play.
Not as if there are ANY games out there that completely reinvent the hot water, they just used the colour-idea from Ikaruga instead of 'yeah, let us make a game where you carry a gun and hide behind chest-high walls'.
I assume you're talking about the "balance of order and chaos" thing. That's been a common set-up in fiction since people first started writing fiction. And if the fundemental gameplay is totally different, how is it a rip-off?
@Sedruk3 I ment the switching back and forth from blue to red. While you're blue you absorb blue shots, while you're red you absorb red shots. It was done in Ikaruga and the entire gameplay was built around this concept of switching colors. And it just seemed to me that this game is built around the same idea. So even if it's not an intentional rip-off, it's still not an original or inovative idea for a game anymore. Just Ikaruga as a platformer, with fancy art style.
I just played the demo. It's a platformer, yes, we know. Why say it like it's a curse? It's a really fun and precise platformer, with fun combat, and the defend against this and you can attack the opposite, defend against this and you can attack the first thing. And yes, it has an awesome art style. Why is that a bad thing? From the tone of your comment, you seem to be very bitter that this relatively under-used feature is being used. Don't be.
@00hammad: keep in mind that Housemarque has a long story;they are the fusion of two other softhouses whcich were born during the Amiga days - namely Bloodhouse (the makers of the original Super Stardust) and Terramarque (known for a mediocre beat em up called Elfmania).
That said,it's good that they still do 2D games,especially when they are this good.Outland is simply outstanding.
@00hammad haha, lol, thanks to Finland :D, such puzzle game as trine - trine 2, splot, rochard, and this, outland, all these from finland :D, guess we just like them, lol.
I just finished the story mode. The game is great, but the last 2 levels are really hard, especially the bosses. The last boss took me 10 tries and I think 1 hour and a half
M$ has been paying devs for years to do that. Most of the time it's not like that. But that was more common back in 2007, 2008. The the logo is what should be recognized, not the text. That way it can be placed in small areas.

@Darkslime: you ignore gameplay in favor of animation? lol
Why would Ikaruga be traumatizing, only if not for the memorization needed to chain enemies?
@game: I hope there's more work on the bullet patterns and stage designs (and no memorization-intensive Ikaruga enemy chaining, of course), at least this looks more interesting than average 3D mainstream games.
I don't understand how you talk shit OR say it looks deep. There honestly wasn't enough in this trailer to judge either way. The animation does look pretty nice though.
...But it does look like Ikaruga, for sure, so this game would be too traumatizing for me to play anyway.
I love people talking shit about the game only because it is 2D, or a plataformer, or because Ubisoft made some shitty 3D games like AC. This, judging only from the trailer, looks deeper than that game.
Unoriginal, and you can tell yous by looking the video this game is kinda slow. The way the video was made is just to make you think the game is better than it is :/ hope they are not thinking about putting a price to this shit
@Matsute Two amazing games in one... I've been totally sold.
Still need to play Ikaruga myself, but in the meantime the art style and the gameplay mechanics from two games which are absolutely awesome sounds damn good to me.
@CombustingFetus OMG I didnt mean it like that!!! I personally love AC and i hate this so i meant it like how can they make an awesome game and a shitty game
@dinocro111 It's just a game that you will download on the xbox live market for like 10 or 20 $... It's like a side-project for the company and it's made in Québec ( my town ) I played to it in a play test.( I can't tell you more : Top Secret )
