Costume Quest

OANST · #1 08-10-2010, 01:42 PM

Doublefine is currently working on four new games. Three of them will be downloadable, and one will be a full retail game. The first game, Costume Quest, will be released by Halloween. It looks a lot like Earthbound. Which is awesome.

Cute.

Mac Sirloin · #3 08-10-2010, 03:24 PM

Looks pretty cool. I still need to play Earthbound, actually.

OANST · #4 08-10-2010, 03:31 PM

Oh, god. Earthbound. I mean, fucking Earthbound. That's one of those games that just defines what's good about being a kid who plays video games. I'd almost be afraid to play it again because I don't know if it'll live up to my nostalgia.

hmmm, I need more convincing!

***Nate*** · #6 08-10-2010, 03:40 PM

Tim needs to blog more. This isn't even up on the Action News! yet.

OANST · #7 08-10-2010, 03:57 PM

They announced it on the forum, but not on their news page for some strange reason.

GABBITS OWN · #8 08-11-2010, 05:54 PM

I need to play earthbound still

OANST · #9 08-19-2010, 07:55 AM

This looks better than Brutal Legend.

Mac Sirloin · #10 08-19-2010, 08:01 AM

I can't wait you guys. Seriously.

Dynamithix · #11 08-19-2010, 08:19 AM

Damn, it has an unicorn in it. I'M SOLD.

Daxter King · #12 08-19-2010, 09:51 AM

Looks much better than Brutal Legend.

***Nate*** · #13 08-19-2010, 07:58 PM

Goddamn that voice-over is annoying.

***Nate*** · #14 10-02-2010, 12:23 AM

Playing preview!

It looks better (and less cheesy) than I was expecting.

Dynamithix · #15 10-02-2010, 12:32 AM

I love that little blue kid's helmet/hat.

The boy's name is Reynold? Scary. I was writing a script for a Hallowe'en-themed stop motion film once that had a character called Reynolds in it.

Also, that game looks awesome. When do I get it?

Crashpunk · #17 10-22-2010, 02:29 AM

This really does remind me of Earthbound.
I've only recently played earthbound on a emulator (It was never released in the UK) and its one of the weirdest games i've ever played, by god its a great game.

Mr. Bungle · #18 10-24-2010, 05:20 PM

I want to play Earthbound so badly. I don't own a SNES, and don't really like playing emulators (find them awkward), and it's not on the goddamn virtual console.

I might consider picking this up though.

Dynamithix · #19 10-26-2010, 03:40 AM

I just bought Costume Quest and it's downloading right now.

Off-Topic: I also bought Red Dead Redemption - Undead Nightmare.

EDIT: I beat CQ 100% now, it was freaking fun!

OANST · #20 11-18-2010, 11:02 AM

Doublefine just announced that there will be dlc for Costume Quest, coming in December. It takes place about a month later, and you get sucked into the monster's world, and it looks awesome, and I can't wait.

Dynamithix · #21 11-18-2010, 12:27 PM

YES! I want more.

OANST · #22 11-18-2010, 01:05 PM

It also fixes some problems that people had with the game, like the inability to save and the text speed.

Dynamithix · #23 11-21-2010, 08:26 PM

Here's a clip from it. Seems pretty good, but looks really like the old one. Not that it's a bad thing, but I really hope there's something new to it too.

The embedding didn't work properly, sorry.

OANST · #24 11-22-2010, 05:47 AM

Of course, it looks like the old one. It's dlc, not a sequel.

Dynamithix · #25 11-22-2010, 10:01 AM

Yeah, that was kind of a bad comparison, lol.

Anyways, I hope it's max 800MSP and not 1200, I don't want to spend that much on a DLC.

OANST · #26 11-22-2010, 10:14 AM

It will either be 400 or 800. Probably 400. At any rate, it won't be 1200.

RyuuFox · #27 11-22-2010, 10:43 AM

I remember playing the demo of the game but i didn't really like it because it had no voice actors

I hate reading.

OANST · #28 11-22-2010, 10:44 AM

Just like everyone else in Florida!

Dynamithix · #29 11-22-2010, 12:18 PM

OANST, did you pick up the new Pacman?

I'm going to buy either that or the DLC for Costume Quest.

OANST · #30 11-22-2010, 12:35 PM

Haven't bought it yet.
