You Can RUN, But you Can’t Hide!
It’s true. Running is a feature in BIT.TRIP RUNNER, but hiding… Hiding is not.

(a concept still from our pre-production phase)
Holy crap! Check out this hands-on preview of RUNNER on IGN right now!
For some reason, the vids aren’t in the right aspect ratio, but IGN is looking into it, so don’t worry. CommanderVideo hasn’t put on weight!
Continue rocking on. Over and out.

Awesomeness. So, I think I got it: jump, collect stuff, and don’t hit walls.
You, sir Alex, win a world.
I’m not sure if I like the shift away from your other more abstract game, but I have faith in you. I hope your game is still awesome anyway, so that I’ll be happy when I download it.
Any posters in this?
This reminds me of the old Activision Atari 2600 box cover art.
And that’s a very good thing.
So excited for this new game.
The only thing that saddens me a bit is that we (apparently) have gold bars instead of beats now. I liked beats. They were square and awesome.
I heard it… my ears have been touched by angels…. all doubt is wiped away. D:
@Gary — But gold is shiny, and can buy you nice things — beats couldn’t do that.
Holy crap. Is this real:

If it is, then I will buy it the minute it comes out.
almost vince, add slide and kick to jump and you basically got it.
Also, Gaijin guys (and amanaguchi), i love you
i can NOT wait for this
DO! WANT! NOW!
Okay, on a more serious note:
Alex & co, any specifics you can tell us about the control scheme yet? Judging by the videos, it seems like all you’d really need to pull this off is the wiimote held sideways.
Randomness: I just noticed that on CommanderVideo’s account on YouTube (where they posted the Void trailer) it shows that he has one subscription: Weird Al Yankovic.
…wow.
the game controls are really simple, you put the wii remote in your pocket and run around outside
You know, you guys should make… (drumroll)
A FORUM.
BIT.TRIP FOR RUM
Did the IGN videos change? 2 of the 4 the videos I’m seeing now are completely different than what was there before, and the sound and image quality for all of them are WAY down.
For example:
http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/38263/bittrip-4/videos/bittrip_gmp1_level1_boss_21010.html
What up with that?
By the way, I’m loving the new countdown timer at the start of each level. Every time I see it I just wanna yell ‘1, 2, 3, 4, GO!’ at the top of my lungs. It’s just that the current video quality on IGN is severely lacking right now.

WHIPASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP WORKING! :-O (this is supposed to be funny)
