Trine demo - Simply WOW!

This is easily the best game I have played so far this year. Trine is a physics based fantasy plataformer :O:

Beautiful and charming graphics.

Charming atmosphere and narrative.

Beautiful sound and music effects.

Well thought out puzzles.

Good Characters.

I fell in love with the game as soon as it started. It's something that has never been done before, I think...

You can download the demo here. You can also download it on gamershell.com.

Give it a try! Experience it yourself!

The game is awesome but i was surprised at the price. $40 is a little too much for this type of game, i was expecting $20-$30.

I forgot about this game. Thanks for the reminder. I am dling now. :D

There's quite literally not a single thing bad about this game - or the demo, at least.

If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out big time. And if you dislike the game, you should have your head checked. It's one of the best platformers in a long time. It definitely goes right up there with Braid in terms of its incredible level design and innovative ways of playing.

FYI, you can also download it on steam and if you prepurchase it on steam you also get the Shadowgrounds game free.guynamedbilly

Whoa, I've never been into platformers but this was something else, reminded me of that old dos era game where you had 3 vikings or something to play as, each with different skills. But this really took it to another level and was able to create an amazing atmosphere too, and the puzzles were just right, easy enough to keep the game flowing but still making you feel like you're being clever. The wizard with his mad box creating powers is my fav. The price is a bit steep, but sadly I'm guessing this will be in the discount bin in no time, which is also where I'll be picking it from.

Game doesn't work. Downloaded from 3 different sources, all broke.Bumzur

Just tried it, pretty good game. I'm thinking about preorder it.

YA! just finished the 2 avilable leves and i'hav got to say,this game is AWESOME.

its looks so good and its gives a feeling that most modern games dont... its like a remake to an old school platformer.

BTW-

will the Game have a Co-Op? like instead of switching between me and to of my friends will play as each of the different charactors?

(Sorry for my bad English...)

I haven't played a side scroller since Another World - I think before that I played Prince Of Persia.

The one thing that kind of sticks out for me is that too many of the contraptions serve no purpose, other than to advance the character - I mean, what is all that stuff actually doing there? The swinging logs, for example? Well, it's there to serve the player, of course. But it's serves no purpose in the world of the game. It's just stuff that's been slapped down.

in Another World the environment was always logical. The main character had to navigate all of these obstacles, but the obstacles always served a purpose that fit in the world of the game. Nothing was out of place. The world itself was as fascinating as the gameplay. Sometimes you'd just stop and stare in awe at the scenery.

Seeing stuff that's just slapped down like that really takes me out of the game. The people who made Another World made this exact mistake with the follow up to Another World. I can't remember the name of the game but it took place in a jungle-like setting, and there were a myriad of devices that had nothing to do with anything, other than to advance the character. Far too many of the actual platforms were just slapped down in order for the character to move from point A to point B.

So I guess I'm the first person in this thread to say no thanks.

You're quite a stickler for...something. Not quite "realism" since I wouldn't exactly call Prince of Persia realistic. What are you, like a history professor who indulges in the occasional game or something? :P

Trine is awesome, goes to show that 2d can be better than 3d for some games. An OTS camerca would be awful for this game, but a 2d field with outstanding 3d graphics are a winning combo. The gameplay is top-notch and the physics are great as well. I'm saving for a new gpu, but this game will be a top priority once I get some more cash.

You've completely missed the point of my argument, and the reason that Trine turned me off as soon as I saw it.

In Another World (and you're aware, I would hope, that Another World has an almost cult-like following, and is generally regarded to be a classic) the world itself was a fascinating place for the character to explore, and at no point seemed like it was created specifically for the character to move from point A to point B.

I don't feel that way about Trine. Most of the objects placed in the world have been slapped down for no apparent reason other than to create a tricky obstacle through which the character must advance.

So what are the consequences of that?

Well, it's all about immersion, really - in Another World I was completely immersed in the game because everything in the world seemed to 'fit'. I really felt like I was exploring... another world. Here, in Trine, it just feels like a world that's been slapped together in order to create an obstacle course. I suppose that you either understand that or you don't.

The big obstacle course I'm seeing in Trine isn't nearly as fascinating as that world I explored in Another World - but you're right about one thing: Super Mario World is of no interest to me whatsoever. You couldn't pay me to play that game.

What a fun scroller. I will definitely be picking this one up.

No, I got what your "point" is. That just seems like a rather narrow view of what makes a good game. You're aware, I would hope, that Super Mario World is often considered the pinnacle of 2D platformers, and is generally regarded to be a classic. "Immersion" is nice and all, and it has its place, but they're games. I don't play a game of Lumines or Tetris and think, "Gee, this world is not believable enough. I'm not touching this game because it doesn't make any sense for the blocks to be falling out of the sky and disappearing." That really isn't the point of every game, and frankly I think if every developer started worrying about every aspect of their games making sense in terms of why it should even exist, an awful lot of great games would have never been released. A game having a human character to control doesn't suddenly mean it has to try to be an interactive movie.

anyone know if shadowgrounds is any good? i just got it for free by pre-purchasing trine. should i bother installing it?
