Heh, these are a little bit random. I'm not sure they are the most effective way to communicate the gameplay.
We'll make an official video pretty soon, I think.

Lawks, I really can't wait to play through this game again. :) But I agree the clips would definitely benefit from some explanation either in the form of text or speech to tell the viewer wtf is going on.

I'm buying Braid ten times when it hits the XBLA market.

Aww.. such beauty...

I just hope that the game doesn't turn out to be too pretentious. I mean - from all the previews, lectures held by Jon etc. my expectations are quite high...

"I'm not sure they are the most effective way to communicate the gameplay."
I dunno, they made me want it desperately so they must have done something right.
Either that or my receptors are wired up wrong.

Wow, that looked incredibly boring. Going to have to skip this one.

This game is going to be completely awesome and change the way people will perceive time and reality.
Besides the kick ass game design, its visuals are stunningly beautiful, and the music gives me a warm, good feeling.
Man, I'm so looking forward to buy, Buy, BUY this. Go John!

Looking forwards to it. David Hellman's art looks even better in motion than it did in the screens. Great job Jon.

LOL!! That's exactly what I'm saying!! This better be the best platformer ever with all the press and hype he's getting for this!!
and i've gotta say, i like the old braid character design better. the new guy in the suit looks off for some reason. The first model looked more...endearing. That's just my opinion. I would change it back.
Posted by: anonymous | March 7, 2008 4:08 PM
I definitely like the new character better.
I should start saving up money for a 360... Ugh.
Posted by: cactus | March 7, 2008 7:31 PM
There will be a PC release of Braid. Hopefully not too long after the 360 release, but, the amount of time will be measured in months.

Haha, "the princess is in another castle". This game looks fantastic; will definitely consider purchasing this when it hits.

I'm not really interested in this game. I've played a few Amiga games that did the whole "time shift" thing and I wasn't impressed then either. It's a nice flip to gameplay but doesn't look original or genius enough to warrant all these lecturers.
But I might change. I wasn't bothered by Audiosurf until Steam threw up a news page telling me it was £4, pre-purchased right away.
