I saw someone play it, game looks fuckin' ridicuful. Which is a mix between ridiculous and beautiful. Radtastic. Madaculous. Gorgeouzing. Amazerful. You get the point.

Why must you make me twitch with your brilliant, BRILLIANT words? I have brilliant.. that's all I have.. you took all the great words. Great.. BORING! BORING! SNORE!


This game looks gre.. yea you get it.

Why doncha just make your OWN indie game blog, but with blackjack? And hookers. It's what I do.

Or I could talk about it to an already existing site that specifically covers indie games, which has a better chance of exposure OH WAIT

Seriously, TIGS, I'm kinda disappointed. I found out about this game from you guys, and now you totally shun it. *queues up Linkin Park and finds a nice corner*

I don't think the world is going to come crumbling down because Tigs hasn't covered limbo (again) yet. I'm sure everyone who cares already knows, and it would be kinda redundant to post it now that everyone else has. Maybe when it's released a front page post would be useful.

[Shinji16]

I'm sure everyone who cares already knows...

What about those of us that weren't on the mailing list? And I normally don't read Joystiq or Kotaku, just for example. TIGSource is an indie game news site, and I'm pretty sure we were all over the Pixel Youtube video and fapping before it got headlined here, but it still got posted, along with every other CS/La-Mulana/Fez update. Just because "everyone who cares" may already know about it, it still gets front page time if it's deemed important. I'm making a ruckus because I think LIMBO is important. And if you disagree, welcome to the Internet, where opinions are everywhere.

Why don't you simply ask one of the news editors why it was ignored or suggest that it should get more recognition. Instantly making a ruckus only make you look like an ass.

You can write it yourself.

I think that what Shinji is trying to do with this thread here. I don't think that this can be seen as 'instantly making a ruckus', it's just weird that certain games don't seem to get exposure on Tigsource anymore and it's only fair to ask why that happens.

Is it because Limbo isn't indie enough? Is it because it was covered before? In my opinion, anything that could help the indie scene getting a little more attention (and Limbo is one of those games that people that are usually not interested in indie games would give a try) helps.

Cave Story and other Remakes are constantly being mentioned on Tigsource. I also thought it was weird that Derek didn't feature his own Spelunky HD stuff on the site, even though it's important enough to get some attention.

Is it just an arbitrary selection process or is there a reason behind this?

What this chap said. Thank you.

I kept expecting to see something get written Derek & Co so I've held off. I've no qualms writing something up, just given the nature of the game, the awards it won, I figured a staffer here would have been over it. *Boots up Pages*

[Melly]

I think it's simply a fact that most of the editors in TIGS are fairly informal (they get no monies for it), and Derek is a busy man, I feel. Maybe he should find someone to be a full-time editor?

[Ramiro]

I got to play it for a little bit at the very end of the last day at GDC.  Looks beautiful.  Outstanding animations. Moving the main character felt good (for the one or two minutes I had with it).
I'll definitely buy it the day it comes out.

maybe without blackjack and the game blog. yeah.

[Cocytus79]

This game kinda rose from the grave. I remembered the teaser from o so long ago but I'll be damned if I ever thought it would actually see the light of day.

Gosh, with all these great games coming out on XBLA this summer its going to be really awesome.

Here's to hoping that they can keep that level of atmosphere up throughout the whole game.
