crimsonidol38 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) About the gameIn Pyre, you lead a band of exiles through an ancient competition spread across a vast, mystical purgatory. Pyre once again showcases our small team’s commitment to rich atmospheric presentation and storytelling, along with a distinctive gameplay blend that combines expressive decision making on the world map with fast, action-packed confrontations against rival groups of exiles whose own freedom is at stake. We want to create a large cast of characters you can grow close to as you travel together across a strange and wondrous land. The story so farAt the beginning of the game, your luck has almost run out when several masked wanderers find you and revive you from the brink. With your help, they seek to learn the truth about the Rites, a secretive competition through which the worthiest exiles can return home, absolved of their transgressions. As you journey across the Downside in the wanderers’ custom blackwagon, you’ll meet a variety of characters of all shapes and sizes, and learn what’s at stake for each of them should they prevail in the Rites. Your actions will determine who returns to glory, and who remains in exile to the end of their days. AvailabilityPyre will be making its console debut on PS4 in 2017. We’ll have more details about the exact time closer to release.

I hope the battles feel a bit faster. Edited April 19, 2016 by crimsonidol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltyie Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Interesting that they're keeping it a PS4 console exclusive again (unless I'm fooled by 'Console Debut'). I loved Bastion but have yet to really play Transistor, but Pyre already looks incredible, and I have the utmost faith in Supergiant to deliver.

Sir_Bee Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I am not holding my breath for the game, but I will definitely look into it more when it comes out. I really enjoyed both Transistor and Bastion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar83x Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I was just about to post on this. Anyway, looking forward to hearing and seeing more! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I like what I've played of Bastion so far but didn't like Transistor and this looks more like Transistor with the little they showed so not really looking forward to this game at the moment dood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katniss1444 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Really excited for this. Transistor and Bastion are both amazing games, and Supergiant Games is one of the few studios I fully trust to deliver a quality game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Supergiant's god tier music seems to make a return. Pretty cool, looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcrunch061 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I am not holding my breath for the game, but I will definitely look into it more when it comes out. I really enjoyed both Transistor and Bastion. Do you mean that you're not holding your breath in the sense that you're worried about how it will turn out, or that you're not holding your breath in the sense that there is a lot more on your plate at the moment? It would seem that if you really enjoyed the previous games, you would be more excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that I am not over the moon excited and counting down the days, but I am intrigued by the idea, and interested in getting it when it gets here. I don't think that my body could handle being excited for something for that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that my body could handle being excited for something for that long. Yep. I get you there. Further, with the number of times that video games let you down, it would leave a real case of virtual blue balls if the game actually stunk up the joint.

awf9495 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Supergiant's pedigree has me interest in Pyre without seeing or hearing anything else. Not all downloadable games are created equal, and both Bastion and Transistor are upper echelon in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Supergiant Games? Sold. Big fan of both Bastion and Transistor. Trust them to do a good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arc-Tangent- Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) I'm looking forward to this game. Supergiant hasn't disappointed so far. I loved Bastion and Transistor. Transistor was one of my favorite games of 2014. I'm just trying to get a sense of what the gameplay is. Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb played a demo of it and talked about it on the Bombcast, and he said it's got kind of a sports-type gameplay to it. Like you're trying to get your pyre (or whatever it's called) into their goal, and there are RPG elements as far as different characters and how you build them. Seems really interesting. Side note: Looks like I'm one of the few people who enjoyed Transistor more than Bastion.... Edited April 21, 2016 by WhiteWalls7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
