Steam says it'll be titled Guacamelee! Gold, and there will be a bundle with Mutant Blobs Attack. Good bundle

Also, not sure if Drinkbox is serious about Vine.

TheBioLover · Jul 30, 2013

That vine doesn't announce anything, lol.

Sendou · Jul 30, 2013

Cool but expected. Vita will be my platform of choice with this game.

kassatsu · Jul 30, 2013

Can't wait to see all the outrage over memes again!

Woohoo, I was waiting for this one.

...This is one I was waiting for. Hope it's within the next month, would be awesome but doubt it.

I love this game

What was the outrage about?

Guevara · Jul 30, 2013

This is a good game and you should play it.

ShockingAlberto · Jul 30, 2013

Hope they manage to add online to this version. It's the main thing that kept me from the PSN version.

What? really? Best gaming news of the day (if it's as good as they say s a Metroidvania).
I was under the assumption it was a Sony exclusive..?

Ridley327 · Jul 30, 2013

I think I would probably buy this again; it's that good.

Drinkbox used Sony's Pub Fund to help develop the game, so they themselves own the game, but there had to be a period of exclusivity on Sony systems in return. Generally speaking, it's been about six months for other games that have used Pub Fund to aid development, so I'm guessing that a PC announcement won't be for an immediate release.

Toki767 · Jul 30, 2013

Will double dip

when it gets cards

Probably just timed exclusive. I dont think that Sony published Guacamelee.

Pub fund stuff is only ever timed exclusive

Really good single player combat isn't enough?

Oops, they are probably scrambling right now.

Tuco! You need to hang out in the Steam thread more often, we have been checking out that registry app for months!

It is an Indie Pub game, which generally has a 6 months exclusivity window.

The game has local co-op. Makes no sense not to have online, too.

I NEED SCISSORS · Jul 30, 2013

I'm hoping it gets a hefty discount on PSN at some point. I'd rather not have to buy it on Steam and Vita when I can just get the cross-buy version.

The timing was too perfect for it not to be a joke.

RE_Player · Jul 30, 2013

No excuse not to buy this now people! Guacamelee is in my running for GOTY.

GQman2121 · Jul 30, 2013

If you haven't already, please buy and play this game. It's wonderful. Easily one of the years best.

ShroudOfFate · Jul 30, 2013

Don't think I'll end up double dipping, but everyone without a PS3/Vita should absolutely get this!

In terms of game development, going from local to online is significantly harder.

It doesn't just work like how you are describing. I've heard it described that you essentially need to account for multiplayer development from the ground up.

Globox_82 · Jul 30, 2013

I was under the impression that Sony published this game...

Yeah, it's too well timed for it to be an unintended mistake. Still funny, well done.

Krakn3Dfx · Jul 30, 2013

Great game, glad to see it getting some love on the PC.

It will be epic. Epic for the win!

Good. Everyone get this, as it's my second favorite game of the year up to now.

Steam cards.

Damn, why did I buy this right after release for the PS3 without starting it once? Don't think I'll ever learn to wait.

markhimself46 · Jul 30, 2013

Vine thing was definitely a joke. Absolutely hilarious. Such a great developer. Anyone who hasn't played this game yet should. Incredibly fun!

Ridley327 · Jul 30, 2013

Self-published by Drinkbox, but Sony pimped it hard every chance they could, including a Vita retail kiosk demo for the game that was on there months before the game even came out.

Surely you mean triple dip?

I will ask shahid if it is still best on the vita, before i make my purchase decision.

Does your PC have a comparable D-pad?

Well, it's portable, so it's definitely the best version.

joe2187 · Jul 30, 2013

This is the only time I encourage people to double dip into the Guacamelee...

Mokubba · Jul 30, 2013

PC Gamers don't disappoint.

Buy this game.

Wait, are we being sarcastic about it being a joke? I hope so.

Can't exactly triple dip when it was Cross Buy.
