Quick question: did they ever patch in a restart run button for the PS4 or Vita versions?

Not likely, it was a free PS+ title November 2014.

Caves new music sounds real good. And I dunno about anyone else, but I liked both soundtracks, and mix and matched them in the game using that flash music replacer mod. That way I can have the best of both to my own tastes.

AFTERBIRTHNew content in the Afterbirth stream (self.bindingofisaac)

submitted 4 hours ago * by Thunderstrike462

New floor transitions (Isaac running in a dress, kids come and laugh at him.)

New Gaper. Slower than usual, leaves behind full sized creep that dissipates quicker than usual. Occasionally shoots bullets at you.

Rosary Bead redesign, string is now grey.

The map shows trinkets as grey stars, not yellow.

New pill color, black and yellow.

New babies.

Boss room's door's eyes glow red occasionally. Stop glowing once the boss is killed.

Boss health bar flashes orange when the boss' health changes a large amount. (?)

New yellow flies (Not the corn ones), Swarm in a huge cloud towards Isaac. Seem not to collide with each other as much and move faster than normal.

Burning Fatty, leaves behind a fire when it dies.

They added about "an hour of new music"

About 100 new item combinations

Item rooms can have enemies inside. There were black flies only though.

Tractor Beam: "Control your tears" Tears stay in a straight line in front of you. No firing tears diagonally by moving sideways while firing. Possibly a tears up. This was the "Bane item" with the blue beam teased very long ago.

No specific release date for the PS4. Possibly for XBox One. They have no idea if it's coming to the 3DS or the PS Vita.

Little Horn's holes make you fall in then come out of another hole.

Said that modding support might come next year.

Apparently a spoiler if they keep talking about Angel Rooms.

STEVEN IN THE GOLDEN CHEST POOL.

New Pickup. Didn't get to see that well but looked like a brown bag. Dropped a couple pickups (a battery, coins, a bomb)

Tech X. "Laser Ring Tears." Chargeable, shoots a tear that's essentially a Ludo+tech projectile. Charging shoots a larger circle. Lasers stop moving once the outer circle hits a wall.

New Item: Mr. Dolly. Range + Tears up. Looks like a Maggy Doll.

Floor Transition: Isaac is shown naked. His dick falls off, and he screams out in distress.

New consumable item. Emergency Contact: "Help from above." Looked somewhat like a Ouija Board.

New Depths alternate: Dank depths.

Black, killable flying skulls

Black Globin, spawned black creep on death (first death). Probably slows like Gish creep.

Black Squirt, leaves black creep as it slides.

Lil' Brim flashes red if it can fire.

Sorry, I can't seem to upload pictures to imgur.

Are you sure you aren't looking at an old article? Isaac was free on PS+ when it released, which was November of 2014.

Super good seed here with Isaac M9W7 ETJB
Crickets Head, Magic Mush, Ipecac, Proptosis, Little Chad/Dark Bum , Holy Mantle, Pyromaniac for beating Boss Rush, BFF tons of shot speed. I went through the last 4 floors taking almost no damage what so ever.

Edit: Don't know if D6 rolls are seeded so this seed might be significantly less awesome if that is the case.

Want an ease of an Eden run? Try W2GR N3FW as your seed (PC), you'l start with Epic Fetus and a White Pony, PHD in the starting item room, a teleport to the devil room (Dark Matter) to the left, and a whole bunch of damage ups along the way. Also at least two crawlspaces I encountered. Two types of pills were speed up, ect. Not sure what the natural first boss would drop, my telepill got me to the I Am Error Room with a BoR, so my first boss was Blue Famine (used a card).

It was a super satisfying run after having to quit one that had triple homing knives by caves 1 and ended on Issac with cursed eye and no damage thanks to me forgetting what Missingno did. Didn't think to get the Seed either.

No, all the orbital flies count as familiars so only BFF improves the damage they do.

Blue flies are affected by damage upgrades. The ones that die when they fly into monsters.

From that interview linked in the blog post:

quote:

Interviewer: My non-gaming girlfriend plays Rebirth on the Vita constantly. Have you noticed or been surprised by the cross-gender appeal of the Isaac games?

Ed: Yeah. I have. It's very appealing to women for some reason, and I don't know why.

When I originally created it, one of the driving forces for me was the fact that my wife played it. She likes games, but she's not big into the hardcore stuff like Spelunky, and never really got that into anything I had been working on, but with Isaac she went in deep.

She was 120 hours in before that game even came out, and she was the reason why I made the DLC for it, because she was done and I wanted to see her keep playing it.

A lot of female friends who don't normally play a lot of games seem to get hooked in and play it a lot, and yeah. I have no idea. For whatever reason it does definitely seem to speak to women.

Aww :shobon:

If you 've got monstro's lung + ipecac, don't use it on the donation machine unless you want to take like 40-50 cents out of it. I fired one barrage on the donation machine, thinking it would register as only one hit giving me the 3-4 cents i needed, but apparently every single explosion counts even if they're happening at the same time.

so i was tryna fill in my post-it with maggie, was missing satan, boss rush, the lamb

first boss - famine, sweet got me a cube

second treasure room - unicorn stump

gg

kill boss, get devil room - goat head, sweet

next floor, nothing of note, kill the boss, accidentally pick up the hp up, go into satan and sure enough 9 lives (and only 9 lives) but why not im basically immortal

next deal with the devil i get fearshot and lord of the pit

rest of the game goes by in a rainbow blur of meat killing everything in my path

sheol, this was a bit trickier but still doable, about 5 rooms before the boss i find a joker card, oh nice i wonder if i'll get items - 2 deals and a red chest - mom's knife - guppy's hairball - the red chest contained guppy's tail, i had 1 red health so i had a choice between becoming guppy and mom's knife

looking back, mom's knife was 100% the right option as it combos so well with what i have already, on top of being insane in it's own right

instead what i did was open the red chest first and bounce off it, knocking myself out the devil room, picking up nothing

i then died 8 times to the lamb, the end

Holy poo poo, I finally beat a Lost run (ending with The Lamb). Thank gently caress, because my counter was nearly at -800. I had Holy Mantle and Dad Cat, of course, but my offensive package wasn't the best I've had - Monstro's Lung + the fear shots Devil Room item, along with a bunch of DMG and fire rate buffs, so I could actually shoot quite quickly. drat powerful, but I've seen combos where you don't even need to worry about aiming.

What's the consensus about starting a fresh run when Afterbirth drops? I still have quite a few things to unlock with the basic game, mostly LOST stuff but I'd like to play around with the smaller item pool again, so I don't know.

Also tried replaying old flash Isaac a bit. Jesus, how did we cope with that?

It's funny, when I needed the last few Angel items I rarely saw the room spawn. Now that I have RPG and just play for fun, I get them every run when I'd rather see Devil Rooms

The Lost: soul crushing edition

I figured I'd give it a shot trying to grind out filling my completion page out with the Lost, so I did a couple of runs this morning. The furthest I got was Catacombs, my first two treasures were Tech . 5 and Death's Scythes, I was moving through everything... and then I dodged straight into a shot from a random headless torso.

:negative:

In case anyone wants the seed to find out what could have been, it's 0WCM 1CNF. I can never remember if it's supposed to be the number 0 or a captial o, but I digress. The Lost is just too soul crushing for me to ever finish.

The Lost should just start with Holy Mantle by default, it would still be challenging even, just not ball-bustingly pointless of a challenge.

Probably not going to start fresh, don't really want to have to deal with unlocking a bunch of stuff again, and it's not like I've really spent a lot of time with the 100% item pool. But honestly, mostly because I cheesed my way to the Lost unlocks with the invincibility bug and seriously doubt I can pull them off legitimately.

But I also won't be too surprised if we have another Wrath of the Lamb situation, where the addon ends up making the early game a whole bunch harder.

Well, it is supposed to be hard as gently caress. But he'll start with the D4 and spectral tears once you get Afterbirth, and frankly the flying+spectral combo alone would be busted on any other character since it renders many rooms easier and some basically impossible to lose.

I wouldn't mind the Lost as much if the game was fair. But there are instances of literally unavoidable damage, so gently caress Lost.
