Yup.
Single player GOTY 2010. Aint nothing touching this game - probably ever.
Shidoshi just tweeted that there is a Director's Cut of this coming to PS3! I never got to play it on 360, because the domestic version was region locked.
edit: Joystiq picked up the story too.
Argh, seeing this at the top got my hopes up that a sequel was announced. Ah well, good news for PS3 folk. I've been playing through this again on Hard and it really is a terrible, wonderful gem.
Playing it on hard would be so annoying! At least till you found the right unlimited ammo guns.
I don't know if I'd ever want a sequel to this game. So many things could go wrong. I think Swery was blissfully unaware of everything when he made this game. That element would be lost in a sequel. Or it could be even more amazing! Who knows.
Based on some of the interviews I've read with him, his attitude towards making games is basically, "I'm putting in what I want, period." He doesn't seem to have any desire to create something the "right way", just something that interests him personally. His panel at the 2011 GDC was pretty interesting.
I've absolutely no intention of slogging through the game on hard with standard weapons, so I've been doing every side quest I can along the way. It's been long enough since I last played that it's all pretty fresh again.
I started this a while ago with a buddy... and then we just stopped. I really want to get back into it. In the meantime we've been playing Rise of Nightmares.
