Transistor is the upcoming title from Supergiant Games, creators of the very popular Bastion.

Transistor is a sci-fi themed action RPG that invites players to wield an extraordinary weapon of unknown origin as they fight through a stunning futuristic city. The game seamlessly integrates thoughtful strategic planning into a fast-paced action experience, melding responsive gameplay and rich atmospheric storytelling. During the course of the adventure, players will piece together the Transistor’s mysteries as they pursue its former owners.

Red is the main character of Transistor, and is latest Cloudbank citizen to have their voice stolen. The Transistor is a powerful weapon and Red's only companion, it speaks in the deepest, smoothest voice possible.

Have a look at the reveal trailer to get a feel for the game.

You can now pre-order it on steam and whatever the ps4 thing is. You can preorder just the game, the game and soundtrack bundled together, or just the soundtrack if you're weird and that's all you want I guess. More information on preordering can be found here.

I am super excited for this game you guys, possibly more than any other game coming out this year. I played the first 20 minutes at pax east and it was god damn incredible, the art and sound and gameplay were all tops and even if "seamless" is always an exaggeration this game does do a fantastic job of combining the action gameplay with the pause-and-plan mechanics.

Did I mention the art and visuals are incredible? Here have more pictures, click all this shit for hi res versions (all lifted from the transistor page)

    for anybody wanting to see some video of what it looks like now, here is some video of what they had going on at pax east this year with a developer talking to somebody from the escapist

    spoilers for the first 10 minutes I guess (and no game audio which is a shame cause the audio is tops)

    For the first fifteen minutes or so without jabberin' over it (and with the gameplay audio and that sweet, sweet Logan Cunningham voice), there's always this:

    I love that Transistor continues the tradition of colloquial enemy names that were clearly given to them by the narrator

    At first, every enemy is just Process but the narrator starts giving them names like Creep and Jerk and Younglady

    for $15 you can get a print of this signed by Jen Zee through supergiant's store page. they also have a full-size poster of what I think is the boxart.

    Oh hell yes. Between this and Mario Kart 8, I'll be set for when Sier goes to visit her family.

    The other very interesting part about the storytelling structure is that even though Transistor is narrated like Bastion, they have flipped the perspective

    In Bastion, Rucks was sort of omnipotent since he was just telling the story of how they got here while he was waiting for The Kid to finish the job

    In Transistor, the narrator is the Transistor, and he's talking directly TO Red and to you the player as a result rather than ABOUT you in Bastion

    He's directly present in the story rather than telling it after the fact

  • Mr. GMr. G Registered User regular
    Oh there's also the part where Supergiant built such a great world in Bastion even though the whole damn thing blew up before the game started

    This time it's a giant sci-fi city that's still standing

    Something about Red makes me think about that shitty comment from some Team Ico guy and then a thought just in general

    A worse developer would've gone "well the main character CAN'T be a girl, girls can't carry swords that heavy!"

    But this is Supergiant so the main character is a badass-looking lady crushing stuff with a giant sword and riding a motorcycle

    In that gameplay footage, when the game just starts up and you hear Red's panicked breathing - she manages to have more personality and feels more alive in that moment than most beige-y-action-games-with-muscley-dudes manage in entire campaigns
