    No I am waiting for a demo that will let me check if the actual real game I am going to purchase runs. I played the flashgames.

    I just had a try with the Tofu version, i wonder when Sushi will show up, and at some point the keyboard steering made me wanting to throw a joystick against the wall.

    I need to reclaim my joypad from my friend. My fingers got all tangeled up when playing Meat Boy with the keyboard, along with my brain...and my teeth
  • edited December 2010
    Yeah, keyboard steering really isn't a good idea for these type of games. Playing a level for the xx time due to steering issues can make you kind of aggressive.

    I found nothing wrong with the controls other then shift being run. I would've done alt, and let you customize controls.

    Coming soon in an update.

    I know that, but I meant at launch

    Sorry for being repetitive, but is a proper PC demo expected anytime soon? I really need to try the supposedly great controls myself before making up my mind, since I found the wall-jumping controls in the flash version and STB pretty awful, like in basically every other wall-jumping platformer I've ever tried. Difficulty is one thing, but having to ragequit over jumps I know are supposed to be possible is not my idea of a good time.

    Customizable PC controls are coming tomorrow.

    Just got the Forest Boy acheivement w/ a keyboard. That was insane!

    Why are all the updates for this game so feckin big half the time!?

    Game's great, but it's doing my nut in to see Meat Boy wants another 170mb update to fix something simple :(

    ...I don't really want a technical answer smartarses, I just wanna bitch about it :p
  • edited December 2010
    Technical answer is they're too lazy to compress the files, or they're just replacing all files by being lazy. take your pick.

    There are now playthroughs/walkthroughs/let's play/... videos up for those who can't/want play it but still are curious sneaking into certain levels.

    I am watching the one by hamsteralliance and some of the "Let's introduce" by xAeternax

    I've clicked through a few levels and as i thought it has it's pros and cons but i'm glad i didn't buy it. Same applies to Costume Fest, it has some wonderful coloured scenes but sadly doesn't look this convincing as a game.

    Btw watching adventure playthroughs, especially the more story related ones, can sometimes be very relaxing.

    No amount of video can explain the experience of playing Super Meat Boy. Its superb balance and control can't be *watched*, at some point you have to actually play it. Team Meat is doing the game an incredible disservice by not offering a demo.

    Feels like you're talking of Jumpman... :O)

    Wasn't Jumpman Mario's original name?

    There is a demo for the 360 version. If consoles are your preference (for some reason) you can just grab it off of XBL. I suspect the WiiWare version will offer a demo as well.

    Wiiware NEVER offers demos.

    For ANYTHING.

    And they are looking for a publisher for a disc release because otherwise they will have to cut a lot of content to make it fit within Wiiware's limit.

    Oh, never mind then. By the way...

    I've Wiiware demos for like 6 games.

    Fine, slight hyperbole. Wiiware has demos for an insanely tiny selection of titles, they're up for 4 weeks when they DO go up(unless Nintendo is persuaded by high user ratings to, in its infinite generosity, to extend its time on the service) and the demos that are there are hard to find at best. I should have just said Wiiware's support for demos absolutely SUCKS instead of saying it was nonexistent, however close to true that statement may be.

    I win. As a prize I demand a bottle of brandy of the highest quality, aged 12 years. With bendy straws.
  • edited December 2010
    Of course!

    Obviously i spontaneously support your demand.

    Now TTG, when will you deliver Comrade Pants well deserved price?!

    *whispering* I hope they don't charge you too much for the delivery.

    They're about to add a permanent demo section to the Wiiware system sometime next year, if Reggie is to be believed.
  • edited December 2010
    That's at least another, very small, step in the right direction.

    But come on, we're talking about the system being HALF A DECADE LATE in terms of implementing not BETTER features than the competitors, not even EQUAL, but "similar, though heavily undersupported in comparison". We're to the point now that Nintendo is implementing "demos for downloadable games" slower than the time it takes Microsoft and Sony to create and implement motion controls! That's pretty unacceptable turnaround.

    I'll accept scotch as a substitute, but it must be aged 21 years under the constant wailing of a bagpipe. These are my demands. Seriously, TTG, get on this. I'm thirsty and man can only live on soda for so long. I mean, what am I supposed to sip whilst reclining in my black Italian leather chair; wearing a red smoking jacket of the finest Persian silk in a teak-wood panelled room covered in the heads of my latest big game hunts?

    I'm also running out of Cuban cigars, so chop-chop, boyos!
