New trailer for this here game:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13RXLcKTyw

From the blended-brains of Rex Crowle (Tearaway & LittleBigPlanet) and Moo Yu (LittleBigPlanet, Ratchet & Clank) comes KNIGHTS AND BIKES, a hand-painted action-adventure set on a fictional British island in the late 1980s.

Players will take on the roles of Nessa & Demelza to explore an island with their bikes. They’ll uncover treasure, mystery and trouble. This leads to them ultimately attempting to steer the ancient island away from modern ruin.

They’ll be pedalling into danger, facing threat head-on with frisbees, water-balloons, puddle-stomping, and whatever other kid-like schemes that players can improvise.

Each islander that Nessa & Demelza rescue passes on new abilities, allowing them to do more and travel further. So as they face-up to the adult world, its their ingenuity, friendship, and wide-eyed-wonder that guides the adventure.

KNIGHTS AND BIKES is designed for one or two players (playing locally or online) and was funded successfully via Kickstarter in March 2016.

It's an action adventure RPG thing? I'm not entirely sure what kind of game it is, but visually it definitely look super cool.

Backed it, I regret nothing.

Looks amazing. Being an 80's British kid this game hits home hard. Love it.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Aah, that amazing music is back!!

[Greatest Ever]

Can't open YouTube right now, but is it 2D or 3D?

 

[TimmiT]

I backed the original Kickstarter, don't regret it. It's looking great, and I'm glad to see that Double Fine is helping out.

Looks 3D to me

 

[J-Skee]

This is awesome. I missed the Kickstarter campaign, so I'll definitely pick it up day one.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

That team is still killing it with the art. Hope the gameplay is just as good.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Looks positively enchanting. When's it out?

 

[AsylumBlue]

Looks charming. I would rather a Tearaway sequel, but I know that's never happening.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Arrow to the knee joke at the end?

Funding removed.

 

[Acquiescence]

About time we got a sequel to Boats 'n Hoes.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Dig the art style, like a goofier tearaway.

I probably said the same thing in the last thread now I think about it.

"Estimated April 2017"

Sword! It's a sword!

 

[Corpekata]

Isn't that just the old trailer? Even ends with the kickstarter logo.

 

[xzeldax3]

I've never heard of this until now and I'm completely taken with it!!!!! The charm and friendship reminds me of Costume Quest.

 

[benny_a]

That logo is genius.

 

[Oneself]

Wow. Amazing. That Tearaway art. 0_o

 

[bronson]

This looks in-credible

 

[Baliis]

They talked a little bit about the art and how it's set up in one of the updates which I thought was an interesting read

[UberLevi]

Wow, looks really neat. Haven't really played a Double Fine game since Trenched, so I think I'll get this when it comes out.

 

[Kid Heart]

I had not heard of this game before today, but I'm glad I know about it now since god dang does it look really good. It reminds me a bit of Costume Quest too what with kids trying to save the world with home made weapons, which is great since I love that game. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the game when it launches.

 

[Omega Kirby]

This is one of the wierdest trailers I've seen this year

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/foamsword/knights-and-bikes?token=ed629697 a little more info for those interested.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Woah, this looks pretty cool. Sadly, I didn't back the kickstarter.

It has this child-like charm to it that is pretty rare to see nowadays. Nostalgic, in a way, even though I've never set foot in England.

 

[enzo_gt]

Not my type of game but it looks interesting, especially like the logo.

 

[shandy706]

Looks great.

Always excited for a new Double Fine game.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Double Fine is just publishing, for what it's worth.

 

[Mark L]

Fantastic art, love the music. Day one for me!

 

[wideface]

Wow, this looks amazing!
Very cool logo as well!

 

[Ivan 3414]

Stands out artistically; not sold on the gameplay we've seen at all.

Double Fine is only the publisher tho

hence the ''Double Fine Presents'' tag

 

[Fisty]

Game is progressing extremely nicely, and I'm glad they found someone to market this gem. Backed this thing the second I heard Rex mentioned, Tearaway was a phenomenal experience for me. I'll probably give away my PS4 backer code and just buy it

Ah...ok...well, it certainly looks like one of their own games. Haha

Raises hand X-D

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Amazing art style. Keeping an eye on this one.

 

[Honome]

Wow, game is looking amazing!

 

[Dan]

This has my attention, although I'd like to see more of how the gameplay/combat works because it looks pretty simple in the trailer. Reminds me of Costume Quest minus the turn-based battles.

 

[8-Bit Sunset]

It's an old trailer, but still can't wait for this game.

Double Fine are going to be streaming this soonish, though it's a multi game stream (Nidhogg 2, Owlboy) so you might have to wait a while.

Probably a decent way to get some of the moment to moment gameplay out there.

Presumably the devs will be involved too, they've got GONNER on along with the dev right now.

Only managed to watch today and it is as great as expected

Knights and Bikes talk begin at 1:04.30

 

[Chobel]

The artstyle is so freaking good.

Totally missed this, thanks.

 

[Sarcasm]

Still backable?

 

[Glass Rebel]

I'll say what I said in the KS thread:

The game has an amazing artstyle and very cool soundtrack but I really wish it had a different combat system because it looks really bland and boring. The Earthbound inspiration made me hope for turn based but I guess that's not happening.

Looks charming af.

I'm an 80s British kid but this does nothing for me. I absolutely hate the art style, at least based on this trailer.

Feel like I'm seeing something completely different to everyone else in this thread.

 

[wouwie]

I love the artstyle, it looks incredible, which is not surprising since Rex is involved. I just don't find it all that appealing gameplay wise judging by this demo. But let's hope for the best.

 

[OneLessIcon]

I hadn't seen that before. I love the art style! I'll wait for reviews on gameplay & story but it looks really charming.
