The protagonist there was a playable character in the original series.

Wait, so this isn't the same as that other demo where you play as the creepy little ghost girl and wander around a house? Is there actual gameplay to it?

Head's up, Turbo Overkill just hit 1.0 and is 15% off it's EA price. They'll be raising it to USD $25 soon so this is the last chance to get it cheap.

It was the dude's brand to be not-so-subtly racist. He was one of the front-and-center faces for the talks about how inferior Japanese games couldn't possibly match up to Western works of genius.

To his credit he appears to have walked that back somewhat and seems to have chilled out but he exploded pretty hard for a while there. He's kind of the poster boy for "mild success gets right up his own rear end" and unfortunately for him the part where he was a weird racist and told people to kill themselves is going to be remembered a lot more than the part where he chilled out.

To be fair the entire era of “Japanese devs forgot how to make games” was gross and weird and unfortunately The Style At The Time.

On the other hand I do remember the time he screamed into a Japanese developers face that their games sucked.

I think the first one had 6-player coop which was perfect for my friend group. I hope this one has that too, as there are too few coop games that support more than 4 players.

He's kind of a dinosaur from that era. I checked out a random stream of his recently working on his new game and he made a comparison to N+ when talking about the number of levels in a game. Bro nobody is thinking about N+ anymore lol

Not quite, a Japanese dev asked him a question from the audience at a panel about Western game design and he kind of brusquely said that Japanese games currently sucked. It was a little rude but he was also mostly correct , this was the era of like Resident Evil 6 and stuff

All this Witness talk reminded me of Fez, another puzzle game whose dev made himself into a prat on the internet, but fortunately none of that leaks into the game itself, it's a real gem!

If you've not heard of it before, it's a platformer whose premise is absolutely brilliant: Navigate a 3d world in 2d, where if you line things up with perspective they're connected as far as your 2d brain is concerned, breaking all sorts of spatial physics. Very chill vibe.

also his company got hacked by gamergaters and they leaked all his personal info, which understandably made him quit game development forever

Claire's Hair in Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands has a secret area behind the bird bar. There's some spooky background music and an incomplete hair-bridge with a bunch of pieces floating in the air. Is this something I can do now or should I come back later?

The trailer video says it's 3 parts, one of which was on the site but has been remastered and voiced, along with one that was started but never finished before, and one entirely new one.
