Cool, the game sounded neat and I was disappointed to hear it was an Xbox One exclusive, since I have no plans to get that system. Will definitely check it out on PC.
Also, did they change their name? I thought they used to be called Capybara?

YES YES YES YES! Day one on Steam!
Hmm.. In this trailer the perspective is kind of strange though, seeing huge water droplets close up and then having this large field of view of an expansive environment almost makes it seem like you're peering through a camera in first-person really far away. Don't know if I'm keen on that.

Looks amazing. Great atmosphere, art, art-direction and music. Hopefully the gameplay will be interesting too.
One of the titles that makes me want a xboxOne.

It's getting a PC release? That is seriously awesome news, I'll definitely be getting it
It was one of the few games on X1 that really got my interest back at E3

I hope they are out trying to court developers to work on their legacy IP or at the very least working with developers to bring some new and exciting IP to fruition.

Hey folks - glad you seem to dig the trailer and the reveal at the end. We're super excited to be bringing the game to both platforms.
We'll be sharing a ton more info at PAX East, including more about platforms, more about the game, and so on.
I won't be on GAF much until PAX East is over, but if you have questions, post'em and I'll respond to them all when I get free time.

No longer published by Micorosoft?
I guess that means it might not only just be PC and Xbone.

Awesome to see it coming to Steam as well. When did you guys make the switch from published by Microsoft to an ID@Xbox game?

Nope. I work on Mac. But i might consider a gaming PC over XboxOne.

Same.
I was happy to hear that it would "eventually" come to other platforms, but I assumed PS4 was down the line. Didn't think it would hit Steam.
Now I can play it! Wonder if it will still hit PS4 later on.

Will still get on the Xbox One for achievements but great! Would normally grab on the PC but it doesn't seem like a game that will benefit from being downsampled.
Any info about other consoles?

STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM. Thank you Capy! Now I can start paying attention to this game again!

What's the gameplay like?
What's the deal with MS dropping it's publishing duties on this?
Yeaaaaaaaaaa boi!
Can't wait for this! Hoping to see some gameplay footage too!First: Really nice trailer. Love the game since the first reveal.
And since now the game won't be published by MS, can you say already if you have plans for other Platforms (PS4? Vita?) after the launch of the XB1/PC version?

Going from MS published to self-published, what was that conversation like? I'm sure Microsoft was disappointed but was this in the cards from the jump? Microsoft announced id@Xbox after this was announced so did you guys know they were working on it or after it was announced did you ask MS if you could do that instead?

I like the art style and music. Hope the gameplay is in line with my tastes. (Autocorrect almost made me type testes lol)

I suspect that perhaps part of the (now only marketing?) deal with Microsoft still involves keeping quiet on versions for Playstation.

Uh, Microsoft was pushing this as their big "exclusive" indie at E3, now they're not even publishing it anymore..? Weird.
Glad the game is coming to Steam, hope this means more platforms down the line too

7 Million PS4's is too much to pass up on I guess.

I thought we've known for quite some time that the XB1 version was self published by Capy.
Maybe I am confused with Super Time Force.

I think it's still a win for MS though because it's still console exclusive for now and an ID@ game.
Similar to how games that are PS4 and PC only (for now) ate considered to benefit PS4. (At least some of us see it that way)
If that benefits Capy in anyway then awesome. Better quality game for if it comes to other platforms later.

STF is published by MS, this was also published by MS but has since gone to being self published by Capy.
STF still seems to be published by MS though.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
Right, but MS published maybe 30 XBLA titles a year and clearly aren't publishing remotely that many today, and ID@XBOX by definition has way less publisher oversight. I see basically no way the personnel required hasn't dropped significantly. So I'm just wondering if these people are being employed with a low workload, being laid off, or if enough attrition has occurred over the last 2 years or so that they didn't need to scale down.

Game looks incredible. I honestly think it's gonna sell like dogshit on the Xbone, though.

I dunno about that, there have been plenty of indie games that have sold well on the Xbox platform.
Braid
Fez
Super Meat Boy
Bastion
*shrug*, I think it'll do just fine.

Super Time Force is published by Microsoft on XBLA as they still need a publisher on that platform and self-published by Capy on XB1, so this just puts Below in the same boat on XB1 as STF really
Miles Quaritch

Hmm, I didn't know STF was self published on X1. Does that open the door to ports on other consoles and handhelds?
I'd love to one day play STF on my Vita...
