That looks an awful lot like an AI cutting up papers on AI and repasting them into a mimicry of English grammer...

Pretty much.

Sometimes you have to just step back, and stop trying to apply real-world logic to a 2d pixel game. It never ends well. So long as the game is fairly consistent with its own in-universe logic, just go with it. Suspension of disbelief and all that.

If and only if it blatantly rips of Tyrian's banana gun's graphics. Everybody and their little spawnling filching those graphics is starting to get a little old.

There's not really much more to discuss about the game itself. I've been waiting for SOME kind of footage of combat since it was announced, and I can't recall a single video they've released that even shows a hostile life form on it.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

There were a couple of videos posted a few pages back which showed some hostile creatures, including one that appeared to launch it's eyeball (yes, singular) as an attack. Of course, since the purpose of the videos was to demonstrate different mechanics, the devs had God-Tier weapons and so everything died in one hit.

It'll be released by Tuesday. Though which Tuesday is unknown.

Wait patiently. It's not even been a year, yet.

Believe it or not, to me the factor of whether or not this will be a good game in my eyes rests entirely on one mechanic!

Movement.

I don't have to see the enemies, the weapons in the game, any other mechanic... I will know just by looking at how the characters move around in full.

Re: Movement... they moved around quite a bit in the stream whatsits. Perhaps not the full range of possibilities, but definitely quite a lot of them.

You've probably all seen these, but I was on youTube and found a couple of hostile creatures in one vid here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9tHpDweXIs

Hostiles at 13:43, 31:10, 33:10, 39:20, 50:50. 51:50 (covered), and 52:50. Again. only with charging AI, but it's better than nothing.
