[iAvengerr]

first game of this I played and I got 425 thousand and I didn't know how to play haha hoepfully I get better

[ligjimmersteubenshaf]

I'll never shoot backwards again.

[matthewdoucette]

@ligjimmersteubenshaf lol nope you shouldn't!

[cphunk]

I hit 34 million on the first geometry wars... thought I was awesomesauce. Then I saw a video of a dude getting 360 000 000 and realized there were better things to do with my time :\. Awesome game though.

[matthewdoucette]

@cphunk the first game took a long time to play and they fixed that in geo wars 2. still takes a long time to get those high scores though. i don't play it all that much. just have lots of shmup experience from developing them over years (plus natural experience from playing them not so much) so i got high scores without too much effort. the top players play it religiously

[coolywelts]

The top rank in Geomerty wars History is 199 million points. I'm going to beat it! I promise you.

[xLukexDukex]

my highscore right now is... 32,000. ugh -.-

[matthewdoucette]

@xLukexDukex collect the geoms (green multipliers)

[Explodius1990]

How the hell does someone have 92mill?

[matthewdoucette]

@Explodius1990 insane, among the best in the world. the top score is now 199M... lots of skill and luck to get that

[OyStErMuFFiiN]

lol i cant even hit 2mil

[matthewdoucette]

oh your vid is a response to my 31 million run! didn't realize! check my response to that one for my better 32 million run. still gotta get 37 million to beat my video game developer friend!!!

[GimmeDatHead]

fuck the green bastards

[siggie12]

The thing I don't like about this mode is the fact that you have to start from scratch every time you die. You need the gates and gravity wells to bag any kind of decent score, but they don't even spawn until after you've survived for a good ~30 seconds. So basically if you get off to a bad start before your multiplier builds up, you're messed over for the rest of your run.

[guitarboy335Online]

@siggie12 so dont die :D

[GameFreakTV1]

can someone explain why he didnt get a weapon upgrade every 10000 points?

[matthewdoucette]

@GameFreakTV1 This is Geometery Wars: Retro Evolved 2, not 1... there are no weapon upgrades in this sequel.

[Kryteria]

It's about time someone posted a Deadline video in HD. Good show.

[TheLaced]

I don't get how u get a score that high in only 3 minutes. Do you just have to like collect all the gems or something?

[matthewdoucette]

watch the big jumps in score (watch the score the whole time and then rewind when it jumps big) and you'll see... gates and black holes give more points. collecting geoms is necessary of course, but not the answer you are looking for

[STPVHl]

that looks sooooooooooooooooo boring

shoot shoot shoot

sad life people

i like mario world much better

[matthewdoucette]

i probably like super mario better, too, but they are different games.  there's no challenge to better yourself in those type of games. once games evolved and became less about score, and more about story/completion, games became less challenging. now a day, everyone beats every game. they are too easy. before only the masters beat games. this game, gw:re2, is back to the roots, and that's how i appreciate it. (my own game is going to be the same style!)

[ArcadeMeister]

Seriously, what on EARTH is wrong with the comments right now? All the videos have this problem...

Anyway, just watched this again: it's hard to say whether I saw 1:57 coming or not, as a viewer, I did but it depends whether my peripheral vision would've picked it up "in game".

So, once your game's released, any chance you'll be making a return to this game? ;)

[matthewdoucette]

just replying to this now! i will make a comeback! but also you are going to see a lot of Duality ZF videos being posted! i want this same high score running feel in our game as GW has. i want everyone trying to dominate the boards! i hope the GW crew will take a chance at it, especially some of the single stage (quick) modes that are very much the same type of quick game.

[MrDaaark]

How many more times do I have to tell you to stop playing this game, and play a real game like DualityZF instead?

[matthewdoucette]

it's what i tell everyone!

[matthewdoucette]

even watching this reply, i still never see the 1:57 death coming... orange enemy hidden in orange enemy debris

[TrueSoreThumb]

You going to stop there? :3

[matthewdoucette]

Once I get all top 1,000 scores... I might change my goal to get all top 500 scores! :P
