Gamefly just sent this (from the 10th spot no less, haters owned) to my surprise - so figured I would make a thread on this REZ SEQUEL

Achievements look like Kinect isnt required, so you can do it all with a controller. Is it easier with Kinect? WE WILL FIND OUT

Yeah I thought this was out on Tuesday... time to hit up the store then!

demi · « **Reply #5 on:** June 13, 2011, 10:20:45 AM »

It is out on Tuesday. Gamefly usually ships games out on Monday, though. I won't get the game until Wednesday at the earliest.

not the best quality video but I love the music in this demo. Need to find a way to play this game. No idea how I'm gonna scrape together one hundred dollars this week. Might have to trade some shit in

I swore I wasn't going to do this but I just broke down and ordered Kinect + Child of Eden yesterday.

Indeed. I need to play it more

Wario64 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:44:20 AM »

From what I'm seeing, this game may be hard to find in stores soon like Rez. Almost sold out on Amazon.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:45:19 AM »

hm? rare games don't exist anymore. If it sells they'll make more. If it doesn't sell you'll find it in a bargain bin

And games like Child of Eden don't really exist in the retail market normally...just giving a heads up. If you want to play it soon, you might want to seek out a copy now

demi · « **Reply #16 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:49:36 AM »

Will get a reprint. They all do...

The Sceneman · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:50:43 AM »

isn't it published by Ubisoft?

Oh right, I had a real hard time tracking down my copies of Rainbow 6 Vegas and Red Steel 1

demi · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:51:09 AM »

Published by UbiSoft (aka sent to die)

But Ubi will do another batch, no doubt.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #19 on:** June 14, 2011, 10:54:02 AM »

with the bazillions of Kinects they sold surely they would want this crap in living rooms worldwide? Anyhow I'm gonna get a copy soon. I'm just saying I'll be very surprised if I can't find one.

Someone on GAF said his walmart only had 4 copies, and they weren't on shelves.

You need a KMart

they closed local kmarts here years ago, nearest one is like 30 miles away. not worth it

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:01:38 AM »

Amazon has dried up with the credits... KMart is the new hotness.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #26 on:** June 14, 2011, 11:57:34 AM »

KMart is totally sketchy/post-apocalyptic on the inside, but their gaming deals are hot.

PS3 (lol) version isn't out until September, right?

They actually do exist. NISA's most recent pedo-creepfest JRPGs (Neptunia and Ar Tonelico Qoga) are already out of print.

All the reviews are saying "it's a great experience, but it's short." Not good, will wait for the inevetable price drop.

iconoclast · « **Reply #29 on:** June 15, 2011, 12:20:43 AM »

I'm gonna buy this instead of renting actually. It's only $50, plus Kmart has a $15 coupon that I could use toward EDF or Catherine. And it's always good to support The Miz.

demi · « **Reply #30 on:** June 15, 2011, 12:26:46 AM »

KMart isnt getting EDF or Catherine... those are loser games.

(Seriously, the KMart guy on CAG said NOPE)

iconoclast · « **Reply #31 on:** June 15, 2011, 12:43:00 AM »

Wait, they're not even going to stock the games? WTF is this shit. Just when I thought Kmart was good.

Bebpo · « **Reply #32 on:** June 15, 2011, 03:24:40 AM »

The problem with the delayed PS3 release as a multi-platform owner is that I'll wait for the PS3 release and by then the X360 version will have dropped to like $20 vs. PS3 at $50 so I'll just end up buying it on X360. I guess that's a win.

Died near the end of level 4... really badass game, though I'm not really feeling the music (with some exceptions of course) as much as Rez.

This looks like it'd be a blast on a big tv with a good sound system and kinecto.

That's pretty. Is it a reversible sleeve?

iconoclast · « **Reply #40 on:** June 15, 2011, 11:54:34 PM »

Played some Rez for the first time a while since I'll be getting this tomorrowish. I almost forgot how slow and long that game is. It definitely would have been a much better game if it were a challenging 30 min arcade style game, but I guess that's not the point. Oh well, I enjoy an artfag game every now and then so I'm sure I'll still like Child of Eden well enough.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #41 on:** June 15, 2011, 11:59:51 PM »

I think Kinect is shit but if there was one cool application that could almost make me buy one it would be a steady diet of these sort of games. Not going to happen though.

tiesto · « **Reply #42 on:** June 16, 2011, 05:33:47 PM »

Music doesn't come close to Rez but the rest of the game is amazing.

iconoclast · « **Reply #44 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:10:25 PM »

I've only played the first two levels, but this game already destroys Rez. Much better rhythm-based scoring.

Akala · « **Reply #45 on:** June 17, 2011, 08:13:34 PM »

this is going to make me drunk buy a kinect one day.

want, but will hold off.

iconoclast · « **Reply #46 on:** June 18, 2011, 12:20:31 AM »

Played through each stage once (or twice to get more stars). Pretty good game - the scoring system is what really pushes it past Rez. Should be fun going back and improving my scores and such.

Miz does a great job at improving his sequels.

iconoclast · « **Reply #47 on:** June 18, 2011, 07:48:43 PM »

Jesus, I always miss tons of enemies for the 100% purification. I only have like 79% on Matrix

This game is one hell of a memorizer.

Almost got the gold star on stage 2, only missed one enemy. That stage is easy to do. 5 seems pretty easy as well.

iconoclast · « **Reply #52 on:** June 19, 2011, 01:30:52 AM »

Nope, I won't be buying a Kinect until I know more about Steel Battalion Heavy Armor. But I do think Kinect could be a fun distraction with this game. I'd like it try it out one day.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #53 on:** June 19, 2011, 01:35:06 AM »
