what about runner?

@YoYoKirby1 I'm going to take the cut scenes in the last three games of the series to make part 2.

AT 1:37 , that reminds me WAY to much of something that starts with a g, end with an s, and kinda sounds like gigas

[ColBarnaby]

@97raven123 A lot of the cinematics in Core remind me of Earthbound, I guess Commander Video is the same age as the protagonists in it.

Kids see the world in strange ways!

I can't buy void yet so I won't spoil myself, but my theory for beat and core is

- (heart)Beat is before the birth (transition = spermatozoids, descent = ovum, growth = foetus)

- Core is the childhood (I don't remember the name of the levels, but the cutscenes seems to be about a frightening world, parents helping the commander and finally the commander taking control on his life)

[ColBarnaby]

I like how well that theory works with the end cut scene for the final level of Beat (1:02) being what looks like Commander Video's birth.

If this is true, then Void is likely all about emotions and human relationships

[RhysWood]

I think I have Core nailed. The clue is in the level names. Discovery: CV is discovering the world around him, yet he has no knowledgeable grasp of it. In the first cutscene, CV seems intimidated by his lookalikes. Exploration: His lookalikes are helping him learn about himself and the world. Control: CV has control over his actions and has a firm grasp on the world. This links in with the theory of his birth in Beat.

Did someone heared:I AM READY!!! at the end???

[Shoopdaman]

...trust that his friends will come along and help him. Later he realizes that they weren't in face helping him. This was HIS POWER he is using. He rejects their help and goes it alone. By the looks of it I would say he had a hell of a time doing it. But first, he must eliminate his evil side. In his mind, CVs evil side manifests itself and goes mad with power. His other emotions combat it and convert it to a positive emotion. Finally, all is well within CV. HE... IS... READY

[Shoopdaman]

At first, CV is flying though his domain, and gathering memories to show you as the gameplay. He does this in BEAT, forgets a bit, the a green stray block of information jogs his memory, telling you about how his world was created. At the end of BEAT, he accepts that his kind is no longer with him and is now hears the good side and bad side in him. In CORE, He is recalling when his race was flourishing and he was looking up at his superiors. Then he was depressed and must rely on his...

Well, the levels in void all all named after the 3 elements of Freud's model of the psyche, Id, Ego, and Super-ego. Id is our basic drive. Ego attempts to mediate between the id and reality, trying to please the id's drive in realistic ways. The super-ego strives for perfection. Bit.trip is all about the mind.
